Thread #6 - We are crazy talkers here! Join in the fun!

ADULT DISCUSSION HERE, SO TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN! UM NO, WAIT! IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, LOOK AWAY NOW! 

This is the new thread as the other was sooo long and had lots of pages. Continuation of our wonderful discussions on Twilight Fanfiction, Books, and Life in general.  But mostly Twilight fanfics... and life stuff that will get me a NOT ALLOWED statement. 

Okay, here is a place to discuss what you are reading, ask for recommendations and complain about the writing.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, so please play nice   

Because we know drypen's watching    :googlyeyes:

Either this is a solid 3.5*-4* or my brain has gone totally to mush from the sheer amount of sh!t fics I've been reading recently....someone else read and confirm which it is.

THANK YOU!!! I was thinking about this fic awhile back but couldn't remember the name. I even have it saved but the summary doesn't really help. It just makes me think of the million fluffy meets in the library love stories, not a
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.







I just came across another published book where the author has sent reviewers to harass anyone that's left a negative review. Seriously. If you can't handle criticism I don't know why you would bother to publish your work. I imagine it's really hurtful to read bad things about something you've created but that should help you to expand your writing in the future and shows you have too much time if you're worried about what strangers on the internet think of your book. You're still getting paid.

She is certainly descriptive with the outfits...  I am not into the fashion scene so typically I just skim over that kind of stuff...  but with Wildest Dreams I soaked in ever detail she gave me since she was describing a whole different world/time.   What are you thinking of the book so far?  I LOVED it.   I thought it was the perfect romantic fairy tale to escape with!   

Kristen Ashley's stories usually grab me from the get go, but it might be a little too whimsical for me. I'm having to force myself to continue. But I'll finish!

Which author was it this time? So I know who to avoid? You can pm it to me if you don't want to publicize it.

LOL! This is why I used the quotes around the "angst".  It usually ends up being what some "writer" thinks should be angst. I also quote the writer as most of them really can't write well either. 

Speaking of angst, I tried to read Pressed for Time. I didn't make it through the first chapter.  Though I did read the last one, which was an epilogue.  And I started the second to the last chapter.  I may read it eventually, but frankly, it starts out really depressing.

Honestly, it really isn't angsty  its really funny! I laughed so much through it...Trust me Ella, if it was angst I'd tell you. It kind of reminds me of Mad Men, you know? Black humour....

Sorry! But it's in the first chapter!! and I totally forgot how much I love this Emmett!!  >:D

@Matron it's Jessica Park, writer of Flat-Out Love. I'm just reading reviews on this book on Goodreads and noticed some reviewers have retracted their ratings. I guess she was defending another author, Jamie Maguire and made some comments to reviewers. Then she screencappped a negative review and posted it on her FB account to address the reviewer, in turn letting her fans give their own feedback.

These authors need to calm down.

Pressed for Time is humorous?  Other than Emmett? Because I think his relationship with Rose is going to be very humorous. 

No, the Edward/Bella story seems a little angsty.  But as I said, I only read the first chapter.  I think I need to put it on the back burner for a while....  :-\

Jamie Maquire is known for going crazy on reviewers.  She used to go crazy here when they had published stories.  In some ways she was correct.  But even once they put her on the opt out list, she still went off. 

I personally don't get it. Not everyone will like your stories. And? if it is badly written or stupid and I paid for it? Suck it up.  If it is free? I just close out and go away.  I didn't lose anything other than my time and I chose to continue reading.  But if you don't want bad reviews, refund their money.  Or write better.  But even Stephen King gets bad reviews on occasion.....  ;D

Arghhh, Jamie McGuire is a quintessential "Mean Girl" (and yes, I've bought some of her books, but I do love me a bit of Travis  :P  :().
She likes to shit stir about everything, she was the ringleader when we were STP and were allowed to share books - she went to Twitter/Facebook/blogs etc about it and got peeps to jump onto her bandwagon, Jessica Park being her lackey in it all.
I get where they're coming from - it being illegal and all but they went about it all wrong, and they do the same things when they get bad reviews.
Not everyone is gonna like their books - suck it up and get over it, they have enough ass kissers out there to make them happy (if that's possible) as it is. So for every negative review, they've probably got 10 positive ones as it is anyway.  ::) ::) :pulling :pulling
Sorry rant over.  :D :D

My thought exactly. I sometime wonder who the hell these authors think they are? It is unbelievable to me that anyone would attack a reviewer in any shape or form, it's just not something one expect, ever. All these penny ante authors with their predicable nonsensical plots....I read Beautiful Disaster, it was mediocre, at best. If you want good reviews right something original for f*ck sake.

I haven't seen a good Actorward in a while. Other than Redtini. Kim Ginsberg has been writing one. I kind of flounced it because I got a little annoyed at how people treated Bella. For example, Bella orders pancakes and the waitress comments on her weight? And it's not like Bella was fat or anything.  I think she was trying to show how crazy people in Hollywood are about weight. But I've lived in LA for many years. Any waitress who wants a tip would never comment on the food ordered.  And this was before she meets Edward.

EdwardsEternal had a couple Actorwards that were cute. But you may have read them. My Heart, My Home and Easy as Pie.  Her Rescue Me just finished as well.  That is Bakerella and FireFighterward.  I started reading it but she wasn't updating regularly, so I decided to wait. It's done now. It started out really cute.

So are you guys saying Pressed for Time and For the Summer are both on your all-time-fav lists?   Wow.   I guess I need to get those on the ol' kindle asap.  Oilily --- the one you were talking about inhaling the first chapter... was that Pressed for Time?

I'm almost finished with Mystery Man and have thoroughly enjoyed it.   This action genre with the kidnappings and drug dealers etc isn't really my thing, but how could I not love Cabe!    He is just yummy.

Yes, I inhaled the first chapter of Pressed For Time. Love me some depressed and sarcastic Edward!!!! I'm a sucker for sarcastic and black humor. Don't ask me why I love a depressed Edward so much though...  ;)

I didn't have time to continue though. I'm still stuck in Holder's mind at the moment (Hopeless series by Colleen Hoover - Book 2 Holder's POV). Actually I want to flounce and begin Pressed For Time for 2 days now, but I can't stop reading.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
Is the last book "Finding Cinderella" worth reading?

Pressed For Time is the next fic I'll read.

And yes, For The Summer goes to my all-time-favorite-list! Such a wonderful fic. Exactly my taste. I just read the first outtake in EPOV and it instantly brings back all the feelings!

You know when movie trailers basically give away the entire plot? I feel like this summary for the book I referenced above pretty much gives away the entire book if you think hard enough. Why did I continue reading? What wasted effort!

Quote
Something is seriously off in the Watkins home. And Julie Seagle, college freshman, small-town Ohio transplant, and the newest resident of this Boston house, is determined to get to the bottom of it. When Julie's off-campus housing falls through, her mother's old college roommate, Erin Watkins, invites her to move in. The parents, Erin and Roger, are welcoming, but emotionally distant and academically driven to eccentric extremes. The middle child, Matt, is an MIT tech geek with a sweet side ... and the social skills of a spool of USB cable. The youngest, Celeste, is a frighteningly bright but freakishly fastidious 13-year-old who hauls around a life-sized cardboard cutout of her oldest brother almost everywhere she goes.

And there's that oldest brother, Finn: funny, gorgeous, smart, sensitive, almost emotionally available. Geographically? Definitely unavailable. That's because Finn is traveling the world and surfacing only for random Facebook chats, e-mails, and status updates. Before long, through late-night exchanges of disembodied text, he begins to stir something tender and silly and maybe even a little bit sexy in Julie's suddenly lonesome soul.

To Julie, the emotionally scrambled members of the Watkins family add up to something that ... well ... doesn't quite add up. Not until she forces a buried secret to the surface, eliciting a dramatic confrontation that threatens to tear the fragile Watkins family apart, does she get her answer.

Flat-Out Love comes complete with emails, Facebook status updates, and instant messages

Losing Hope is well worth the read. I think Hoover is one of the best YA author out there, along side Maggie Stiefvater. The Jamie McGuires of this world should take a note from them. I've not read Finding Cinderella, it didn't sound to me as if it added anything to Holder and Sky's story so....

For The Summer is one of my All Time Favourite too. Brilliant story. Well written. I might have to revisit, it's been a while....
