  • 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:

LOL! I think that is what I was saying to do.  I'm so confused now. 

Are you emailing from Calibre? Or just from web apps like ficsave?  If you don't have access to a computer running Calibre, even if it is only from a thumb drive, they whole conversation probably was worthless for you.  I think the side conversations got confusing  ;)

If it is still on the Web i use ficsave or FFDL web verison.  If it is pulled and in PDF  i send thru my email to my kindle email address with CONVERT in the subject.   

 :D :D :D :D
see, you're confusing again...  ;)

Yeah, so the other discussion makes no sense for you.  `

Though you should check my Google Drive Library - with the epubs, you can download them then open in iBooks.  I've tried it and it works pretty well.  I know Booked does it that way as well.  Just as a back up if you can't get the other ways to work.   ;D

LOL! I was answering two different questions and it got a little confusing I think....

I love Calibre, but if you don't have access to a computer, it is worthless.  Though if you have access to someone else's computer and you don't want to download the program on it, you can use the portable version.  You still have to set it all up on your thumbdrive. But once it is set up, it is pretty easy to use.

But you still need access to a computer.  LOL!

Has anyone else read The Give Away Girl by MrsSpaceCowboy? I might see if I can stomach reading it again, even though it's Twilight AND based in high school, but the more new adult~ books I keep reading the more I could see it as something that would do well if it was ever pulled to publish. Especially after reading some of the summaries for a few Abbi Glines those sound even more dramatic, and don't come with outtakes set in the future.

It's another one of those stories that kind of makes me feel funny just thinking about it. I admit it wasn't super angsty but I still found myself skimming to get to the better parts.

THIS is the one thing I hate about Calibre. I wish there was a way to set it up to run on the external Cloud hard drive I got, then I could leave that running all the time, and wouldn't have to dig out my laptop in the middle of the night to dl a book. I mean, they are all in Drobox or Drive, but Calibre makes it SO much easier to actually FIND anything!

I thought about putting my Calibre and libraries on my son's computer, it's always running, but then he'd have access to my books, and yeah, that's SOOO not happening. :D :o 8)

Umm ok yeah,   ^-^ You lost me at " I send stuff to iBooks which syncs with Calibre via wifi using iTunes perfectly. '\"   :D

You have to send it to the Kindle apps email address via Amazon.  I've done it with my Android and my iPhone.  It can be slow though.

I have tried that but I keep getting an error.  Does it have to be done thru wifi only??

When I first set up Calibre (remember that weekend Ella? There was a bunch of us here all doing it together :D)  I set it up to send my fics to my Amzon kindle address, it never ever worked I got an error message and that was it. I think it may work if you're actually using a Kindle device but maybe, not a Kindle app? Maybe? For a time I'd save everything into Calibre as a PDF and email them across to Kindle app that way...but now I 'connect/share' via iTunes, send to 'device' and then iTunes (on my MacBook Pro) syncs it via wifi to my iPad. Easy  :D

God Matron! I'm with you there! The amount of time I've had to fire up my laptop to get a book #2 as I'd finished book #1 at 12am  :D :D

So I've just finished Always You by Missy Johnson. Now, I'm aware that Missy Johnson is a Twific author but for the life of me I can't remember which on she is! Help?  :P

Some girl on FB did it.  Something about using Amazon's Cloud Server.  It sounded too complicated to me. But then, I have a computer......And her husband who does IT set it up for her.   :P

But I did check it out.  I guess if you know a bit about all that stuff or know someone who knows a bit more about servers than I do, you could do it.  She did it for free, using Amazon's free cloud space. But my Calibre library is bigger than 5 GBs, which is what Amazon gives in addition to any you get free by buying stuff (music/books/videos)

this was cute. So what the heck are drop bears?  And they really don't have cafeterias?  They are based on British upbringing.  How can they not have cafeterias?  They probably call it something else.....

The Kindle thing only works if you go into Amazon and approve the email from address.  It won't go through otherwise.  And? I would send using gmail rather than the Calibre server because it was easier to approve the gmail address at Amazon. 

And though I have 1500 stories on my Kindle? It always seems I'm missing that one story that I want to read.  So I know what you mean.  The bad thing? I will turn on my computer, check my email while I'm at it, see something interesting. Open Calibre, update that interesting thing, and shut down the computer, totally forgetting why I turned it on in the first place....  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Until after it's shut down and I pick up the Kindle again..... :banghead:   :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I bought one of those My Cloud external hard drives that works like your own cloud, it's, I think, 2TB, and you can log into it from anywhere you have internet access. The only thing I don't like is it takes a long time to copy files to it, but that might be my laptop or even my internet connection.

But then they had an outage for a few days, everything crashed, and when I tried to log back into it, I couldn't find my log in info, and haven't messed with it since. Now I have a 200$ paperweight. I really need to get back into the darn thing! If I could figure out how to get Calibre onto it, I'd bust my ass to get that thing running again.

Apparently Midnight Sun is actually being made into a movie and it looks like the book might actually be finished!!!

If this is true I get the feeling that Stephenie Meyer has realised she can't really write very well or she's really stuck for new ideas and she knows she's onto a winner here.  ::) ::)
I see on GR that she's expanding The Host by writing another two books.  ???

Seriously? I don't know if I buy this one. I think most of the main cast really wants to put Twilight behind them, I can't see them coming back for more at this point. Plus, other than the few bits with Edward running off to Alaska, and his discussions with his family, what's there to be seen that we didn't already see in Twilight?

And I've been waiting for more from The Host series since I read the first book, I actually liked that one. Meyer seems to have given up on writing altogether, she seems all Hollywood now.

Really? I just read the summary it does not strike me at all... :o Missionaries in the Congo? And on Goodread there are Cliff notes! That smacks so 'study' rather than 'entertainment'  :D
That is exactly what I thought when someone twisted my arm until I read it.  They swore it was the best writing ever.  I'll admit that the writing was pretty amazing.  This author has major talent!   The characters were interesting and I couldn't put it down.  With that being said, it wasn't one of my favorites because I like to read to escape and this Congo situation is not somewhere I want to escape to.  :)     I think you would appreciate the book though, for how well she writes, I mean.

This same person has also convinced me to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, The Kite Runner and The Handmaid's Tale sometime soon.

I checked SM's website and there is nothing on this there. You would think that if this was true that they would be hyping it up big time. At this point, I will believe when I see it.

I read the partial story of Midnight Sun that SM has on her website, and there is also Edward & Carlisle dealing with the guys that tried to assault Bella, not to mention the internal struggle that Edward goes through when trying to deal with his emotions and how he feels for Bella. However I agree with you, the original cast seems eager to move on from this franchise, so unless there was a clause in their original contracts to come back for Midnight Sun, or the Short Life of Bree Tanner, I just don't see it happening.


I would happy if SM would just complete Midnight Sun, but with her having her own production company, yeah, I can't say that I see that happening either.

No, I think her name is Amber. Being as that's who I follow on FB. 

I don't know Missy Johnson. Which doesn't mean she isn't a fanfic writer. ;)

I don't think that Stephenie Meyer will finish Midnight Sun but I wish she would.  I also don't think there will be a Midnight Sun movie or a Short Second Life of Bree Tanner movie. I wish there would be a Short Second Life of Bree Tanner movie. I don't really care about a Midnight Sun movie because it would be very similar to Twilight. Midnight Sun is just Twilight in Edward's pov. There are only couple things that are different. I would still probably watch it though.
