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

I am loving A War of Cynics! Why didn't I read this sooner?! I feel like this Edward is real, if you know what I mean. Bella as well, she's not your damsel in distress or clumsy or helpless. And it's thought provoking as well.

Saaaaaame! I guess I didn't ever hear about the author, because she pulled her stories pretty early on, from what I've read. It's funny because at one point  in War of Cynics or the sequel, Courting Achilles, they bring up marriage and Bella mentions that if they ever got married they would have to live together, and that is something that this Edward honestly didn't even contemplate. He values his alone time so much 

I actually knew a woman that was engaged and planned on keeping her apartment as a place to go to when she needed "me time" every now and then and couldn't do that with a husband constantly on her butt.

Reading things~

Pretty sure I flounced Age of Consent back in the day. I like the writing, but the author is always super descriptive and I feel like she takes forever to get to the point. I was also a little creeped out. That Bella is all about seducing Edward, and Edward is in his late 20's and I just don't know what he's doing being such a grody perv. Plus it's just so long and wordy. I remember reading another fic she wrote, Brown Study, I think..and I read the whole thing but didn't really understand what I just read. I finished and just wondered what the point was. That honestly doesn't happen often.

REAL books!
Whitney G has a trilogy that just wrapped up called Reasonable Doubt. They're super raunchy, and she just released the third and last? of the trilogy which is 300 pages, instead of the much quicker reads in the previous two short stories. I LOVED THEM. I like broody assholes that aren't written to make the heroine jealous over some dumb drama. The guy in this is just an asshole, but it's a reformed manwhore story that ends with a HEA.

I stayed up reading the Songs of Submission series by CD Reiss last week. I don't know if I liked them as much as the author is really good about leaving out crucial details that made you want to keep reading. So I did. Until 6am. I had to be at work by 10, and my boss THANKFULLY told me she was busy and didn't need me for the day. So that binge was worth it.

Huge random surprise, Addicted to You by Bethany Kane was pretty raunchy as well and had some beautiful dirty talk by a drunk Irishman. Now I'm comparing everything else I read to it. They seem tame in comparison.

Got the new Susan Elizabeth Phillips book, Heroes Are My Weakness. I enjoyed it, but the heroine is a bit of a loon. She's a ventriloquist and not only are you reading her dialogue, but the damn puppets too. Really cheesy.

I just finished Arouse by Nina Lane. Found it under "Best Dirty Talking" on Goodreads. It's highly rated, but I thought it was a little boring. I made the mistake of reading the synopsis of the two books that follow, and think that I've read enough of these characters drama.

I found this on an author's bio.  I do believe there's some truth in it for me as well.

Twilight changed my way of life.  Twilight Fanfiction destroyed my life.

Hmmm, interesting, I wonder what she meant exactly?  I can agree, in part, with the first, if one could presume that without Twilight there'd be no FSOG which lead me to Twifics, which lead me here. I never spent as much time online as I do now, so that a major change.  But not at all with the second..

Now, about Age of Consent... I'm 30% in and I'll admit its just a little bit creepy.  I'm not sure what the difference is because I've read plenty of books/fics with a major age difference and didn't get this creepy vibe.    Unteachable was a really great story with a big age difference between the characters, but somehow they pulled off a beautiful story without it being creepy. (you guys should read this one!)   I think the thing with AoC is that he just keeps referring to her as "little girl" and just other odd things like that.    Don't get me wrong, it's still a good fic and I know it's fiction LOL so I can ignore the creep factor.

Who wrote Unteachable?

I have finally finished the Outlander series (well, until she writes book 9) it took me 3 weeks to the day to read all 8 book (OK I sneaked in a couple of fics when no one was looking  ), Jesus! They were bloody long! Plus the Lord John series and his novellas ( which I could have done without) Now the question is Fic or book?

Hello all the newbies on the thread, *mumbles* you can't turn your back for one day.....  

Saaaaaame! I guess I didn't ever hear about the author, because she pulled her stories pretty early on, from what I've read. It's funny because at one point  in War of Cynics or the sequel, Courting Achilles, they bring up marriage and Bella mentions that if they ever got married they would have to live together, and that is something that this Edward honestly didn't even contemplate. He values his alone time so much 

I actually knew a woman that was engaged and planned on keeping her apartment as a place to go to when she needed "me time" every now and then and couldn't do that with a husband constantly on her butt.

I went through a phase where I looked into getting a cheap studio apartment so I could have some quiet, "me" time.  I never did it, though.  My kids each have their own room.  Sometimes, I envy them.  I haven't had my own room since I left home for college.

Twilight changed my way of life.  Twilight Fanfiction destroyed my life.

I agree with the first but not with the second. Anything related to twilight changed my life, for the better. 

I can only guess that the author may have felt that writing fanfiction:
1) made her spend less time actually  "living" bec she spent more time just writing
2) led her to evil people who give her bad reviews and bullied her
3) made her realize she's really not a good writer and she has been wasting her time 

I've done that.  My husband claims to understand my need to do so.

My husband is ok with it also.

I'm glad you brought up the sequel because I don't have it. I hope it doesn't give me as much trouble as A War of Cynics did to convert. Lol. Let me grab that!

This for me is the scariest bit of committing to a full time relationship. I've had my own flat since leaving school, even when going to Uni I had my own flat and the thought of having to share my 'm'e space full time with someone else scares the sh!t out of me. Now this might be because of having to share showers/TV/dorm with 300 girls still haunts me, or that I'm just to damn messy adn don't want to change! Ella I'm glad to read your post, it's what I've been thinking, as I'm older now hopefully I can settle into a relationship where I get to keep my own flat to run away to at times.....A little like Carrie Bradshaw did after she married Mr Big!

BTW still having no luck with your Google drive.

Did anyone manage to get a copy of War of Cynics in ePub without the @%$&*+ in it?!

Mine seems to be ok.  never mind

I got a copy from Ella, it had a lot of # but all the words are there, I wonder if it would let me email it to you.

Thank you! That's perfect....I don't know why I can't seem to get Ella's drive to work for me....

See I'm the opposite as I've never lived on my own so I don't know what "me" time really is, as me and the ex moved in together a week after my 15th.

And even when we split I didn't live on my own as my Best Gay moved in with me and my daughter and then the hubby moved in just 7 hours after we met.

Even when me and the hubby are apart for a period of time, we still skype, talk, text etc the whole time and then there's always the kids and animals around.
It's weird as I really do like my own company but I'm just not used to having it most of the time, just another reason why I'm strange. 

Loopy! I've just noticed ( via your new gif) that Mr Grey is the serial killer from The Fall! I loved the series! I felt rather odd getting the hots for a serial killer but then I watched 12 Years and had an orgasm over a slaver owner so....yeah, weirdo has a new name, Demaris. 

How many times did RP do the Bucket Challenge? And where did you get your gifs? Because I do think, darling, someone sold you fake goods. If you look these people are not only standing in front of  a different background but they're also wearing different trousers. RP (who has stated time and again how he hates the gym so I can't imagine how he'd manage to get such a stomach) is wearing red...thingys and the headless great abs man (and who clearly goes to the gym) is wearing black...go ask for your money back! 

But on the subject of your post I have to Big You Up! 15 is pretty damn young to live with someone who's not your parent!  I was still sharing a dorm with 6 girls and posters on my walls at that age....
A girlfriend once said to me that I make the best long-distance girlfriend ever (loving, long distance skype calls, email, I Miss You parcels, frequent visits), it's with the up close and personal where I fail  I can live with that!

I was in the mood for a bit of Jamie as I've been re-watching The Fall as the new series is suppose to start soon. 
It was the hubby that got me into TF and I thought straight away he was a sexy serial killer. 
It's like when he was on Graham Norton and he called him that he was like "Yeah, you're sexy you can kill me!"
I'd be thinking the same especially as he gets naked while he's working out before killing the women. 
Apparently he's doing full frontal in FSoG, knowing this I might watch it but I definitely won't be spending any money while doing that. 
We only moved in together then as I was 3 months pregnant and even though my parents supported me and said I could still live at home even if the ex moved in with me but he didn't want to and made me feel sh!t unless I lived with him. 

How I stayed with him for 8 years I'll never know (cheating, evil tw*t !!  )

Ahhh... So it's not a Twific?

Nope it's not, so you can trust me this time.
