  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
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:

Is this the LAST book, or are there more after this? If it's the end, I'll catch up on the series, if not, I'll keep waiting. So far I've only read book 1.

I know, I'm actually surprised Scotland hasn't done this before now as both my Nana's always spouted on about how Scotland wanted independence when they were alive (they were both Scottish, though one married a Welsh guy and moved to Yorkshire and the other married an Irish guy and moved to Chelsea as you do  :D :D).
I personally love Scotland - there's no other place like it.  :)

Oh god no, she's definitely not having a Sweet 16th - they've become quite popular this way over the last 3/4 years but nothing like the one's you see on MTV.
She's just going out for a meal with her b/f before they come home as he lives with us anyway.

Hey, I'm not bad at rec'ing things - okay, that's a bit of a lie when it comes to
fics but I always warn peeps when they're craptastic, it's not my fault you keep clicking the link and reading them.  :P :P
Lol, well it's not called shit factor for no reason.
I seriously just can't watch it any more as it's so cringe-worthy.My daughter loves it though so she watches one of th many. many repeats of it.  ::) ::)
I seriously think that some of the peeps on there have no real friends as they tell them they can sing when it's obvious they can't.  :D :D

I love Scotland too, I prefer it to England if I'm honest, and even if I didn't previously understand the Scots call for independence after Outlander? I'd totally get it (God! Anyone remember when I used to reference Dusty in some way in all my posts? Yeah....:D :D)

I know, I know I have to wean myself off of clicking on every God damn link that get put on here!   >:D

Unfortunately there's another one due after Captivated.  >:( :(
The only reason I wanna read the other two is cos I love Gideon otherwise I would've given up ages ago considering it was meant to be a trilogy and all.  >:(

I actually feel that way about Wales but I think that's more to do with accent than anything else.  :D
Lol,you know once you click a link there's no going back.  :P :P

Guess I'll keep waiting then, cause I forget a lot, and don't really like to reread most things. So I'll wait til they're ALL finished, reread the first, and then read the rest. Bah! How did it grow from a trilogy to five freaking books, anyway?

I'm about halfway through the Poisonwood Bible...   WOW.   This author does an amazing job of giving voices to each of these characters!

I think they are tied to be honest....Teh story telling of both stories is superb but I think I love Jamie Fraser more than Alexander Belov, maybe...God, pleases don't tell me I have to go back and read TBH!

I'm looking for a couple of amuse-bouches to read to cleanse my palate and kick me out of my post-Outlander funk, I'll read Unteachable next; after that I'm starting Dorothy Dunnett's The Lymond Chronicles (God save me.....)
I can accept a tie, I suppose!  Nobody can replace Alexander in my heart!  :D  I seriously don't think I'll ever find a book that moves me like TBH did... I suppose I will keep searching for one though!

Finished Unteachable really well crafted story Leah Raeder can write, reminiscent of Tiffanie DeBartolo who wrote A God Shaped Hole anyone who enjoyed Unteachable will love A God Shaped. I have to admit for a while there I thought it was going to end differently but I should have know better  ;D.....Kim Kim you might be a padawan Angstyhoor but I know you still have to have a li' sugar  :D  :-*

I'll check out a A God Shaped Hole...   and yes, you're right I still prefer to have just a lil' sugar!   Although, I think I've finally admitted to myself that I like different varieties of sugar! ;-)    Glad you liked Unteachable...   can you remind me how it got wrapped up at the end?  Someone mentioned it having a twist at the end and I am having trouble remembering what the deal was with the main guy.

:D from Painted Faces by LH Cosway, which I finished this afternoon. I liked it, but I love seeing references to what a creeper canon Edward is in other places
This isn't a fic, right?  I'm confused... was Edward in it?

I no longer stick around for the actual competition, used to before, til the finale of AI. But after some not so good seasons the past few years, just stopped watching once they are down to the final 20.

Now on to finish the last 100 pages of Anna and the French kiss...boy, am missing the lemons right now so it is highly likely i will switch to an adult book after this one.

Edit: AatFK was very good. Very tame. Still like Colleen Hoover better when it comes to writing YA with no lemons.  :)
We finally quit watching AI...  it just seemed to lose it's steam over the years.    I've heard people say that HC brought some of the magic back though.    I've never really watched The Voice but supposedly that one is really good and I'm a big fan of Gwen Stefani so might just tune in this season.

I also enjoyed Anna & the French Kiss...   I loved reading about her experiences in a new country and that school etc.    I didn't read the next book. I think like you the lack of lemons had me wanting to read a different genre next.     If I remember correctly Colleen Hoover's books were a good bit steamier than A&tFK, right?

Harry Connick Jr has indeed brought some of the magic back into AI  -  during the competition he is the only judge who does not stand and give a standing ovation when someone is really good, he has a poker face, doesn't clap and until he actually starts speaking you have no idea whether he thinks the performer is good or sucks. The chemistry between him and Keith  Urban is great - they feed off each other and they can imitate each other - Keith does a really good imitation of Harry and his judging style.  Keith is really good as a judge also and offers really good criticism - he isn't just another pretty face.  Two years ago when Harry was on   mentoring - he and Keith got into a friendly disagreement while Keith was commenting on a performance and he got invited to the table and someone gave up their seat (may have been Randy) and they bantered back and forth as judges and everyone thought - why isn't Harry a judge.  He got the invite last year and its been good.  When they are traveling and finding contestants - he isn't sucked into the guy thing of letting someone go to Hollywood week just because they have a pretty face.  If you suck, he tells you you suck.

Its been a while since I read the Poisonwood Bible, but I really enjoyed it, of course I was living in a really small village in the South America at the time.

Re: Fallen series by Lauren Kate

There are 4.5 books, 4 books and a series of short stories that falls as 3.5 in the series.  I am currently on 3.5.  I kept reading through 3 to find out what was going on, I didn't really like book 1, but was really curious to find out exactly what was going on in this world, and you don't really get all of the answers until the end of 3.  We are currently visiting family, so my reading time isn't what it normally is, but we have a 14 hour flight back next week, so I should be able to finish the series and will let you know how it is all together.

So I finished the Fallen Series by Lauren Kate, and while I'm glad I finished it so I could figure out the mystery that was implied through all 4 books, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.  Each book was around 250ish words (on my e-reader) and I felt that the story could have been told in 2 books instead of 4.

On a different note - 5 month olds do much better on an 11 hour flight than 3 year olds do - didn't actually get much reading done and only got to watch 1.3 movies.

A li' sugar is an OK thing to be honest, as longs as it kept 'fresh' and not the same cliché bull :poo:
I'm not sure it was a 'twist"?

Who are the judges on AI now? Last time I watched it was Simon Cowell (I think), Ellen Degeneres and Randy....whatshisface?

So happy to hear this. I have been waiting with bated breath! All I'm sayin' is it better be damn good. I hope it's not one where she drags out the storyline to the wtf region. I hate when authors do that to just add another book to their series. Now I'll just go back to browse the other three books to be in that Gideon mode. I do love me some Gideon...the only wip I've committed to.

I agree, Harry, Jen and Keith are good on AI. Harry did help bring AI back to the forefront. I luh ya papi..

Reign by RuthlesslyYours is a Wip. Its a period piece that's pretty good.

Marriage and other Catastrophes by Angel-Miyu is another Wip. Its an arranged marriage fic.

I've gotta agree with FFG, it boils down to money.
What really pisses me off is that Sylvia said that her and her publisher "knew" from the start that there was going to be 5 books in total so why the f*ck did they try and tout it as a trilogy!!!  >:( >:( >:(
