  • 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:

Love this site and spend as much time reading the threads and finding stories as I do actually reading stories.
The bad stuff is not being able to put down the kindle and ending up with 3 hours sleep and work again the next day  :015:
My housework takes a very far away back seat and its just as well my youngest son is 26 and can feed himself or I would be neglecting him too.
I have become utterly obsessed with Twilight, Edward in particular with stories about anything and everything. My favourite are Doctor or Fireman ones and of course the usual Vampire.

I have just read Order of the Seers by LittleWing2. Fabulous story 'cos I love science fiction. I read on her fan fiction profile and found on Amazon the sequel, The Red Order but because I am already hooked on the Edward and Bella story, it's really difficult to get into characters with new names!!
Does anyone know if she ever wrote it with the twi-characters?

Another one the same is Surviving Bella by Savage7289, which has a sequel Bastian's Storm but although I have purchased it I'm not sure I want to read with without "Edward and Bella".

Does anyone else have this "problem"?? I love to see wonderful writers get to publish their stories but am reluctant to spoil the story that's in my head by reading with other characters!!  :'(

Just saying.....

OH  Honey,  Welcome to our world  :D

Definitely have trouble reading fics that are not B/E. Some of the really good fanfics that I read were pulled to publish and I just can't read them. I've read a couple B/J fics but for the most part can't read anything other than B/E.

I am HEA only too although there was one where I thought it was HEA and it was a different type of HEA. I was reading it as a WIP and was blindsided.

I'm pretty much Bella and Edward only but there are exceptions to every rule.  One is Lessons Unexpected by Alexis Danaan which is a Bella/Jasper pairing.

The other is a series of fics by light4dawn which are Bella/Jacob oriented - she unabashedly is anti Cullen/vampire - and at least 2 of the fics are dark (really good but dark - in one the Cullens are all dead by the end of the fic)

I recommended both authors to someone on here (it might have been blue geek?).

I do have to be careful what I read at work as getting asked what you're reading when you laugh out loud leads to embarrassing conversations or lies!!  :o :D

I thought I was all alone in this nutty obsession but I've read a few profiles that are just so close to me it's scary. Sounds kinda daft to obsess over a character but I'm so glad it's not just me.

Someone described it as OCD - Obsessive Cullen Disorder but it's more like OED.  ;)

LOL about the work reading! I have definitely been there!!! :)

Nope, not alone!!!!! I have been diagnosed with both of those disorders for years now... We all can be sickos together ;)

I hate when authors do that or worse make it free the day or so after you've bought it. [emoji35]

Judith McNaught has great books. but to have lesson plans and selling the books at ridiculous prices? yup, taking it too far.

I also love her contemporaries:

am a sucker for sequels/series with characters getting their own stories. Try these too!

i hope she writes again. Been waiting for her "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" for forever!

Oooohhh, I loved loved loved Judith McNaught.  I wish she would write more , you are right, been waiting for "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" for forever! She is now in her 70s. I collect all her books (actual books). i am only missing 'Something Wonderful' , i gave my copy to my sister and had not been able to find it in the used  book sales again but i keep looking each time I came across one. i had both versions of 'Whitney, My Love'. The first version(1985) with 35 chapters and The special edition (1999) with 42 chapters and a couple of changes .  I also loved and collect books by Julie Garwood and Amanda Quick (her older books)

Seems most of us who read BD, er, historical romances, like the same authors.  :) Have you tried Julia Quinn and Stephanie Laurens? I started reading them in 2009 after i read through all the works of my favorite authors and they weren't releasing new books. Am happy i discovered them bec they are good too! JQ is funny. SL is a bit more lemony. Used to be a fan of Amanda Quick but her later works of historical suspense (arcane society) wasn't doing it for me.  :(

Have stopped buying paperbacks since 2012. Have run out of storage space for books and i won't part with my fave historical romances, many bought at secondhand book stores when i was in college. I even put plastic book covers on each of them to preserve them   8) But after getting married and having kids, i stopped covering them.  :P

She does mafia men so well and the choking sex,  :-X I'm just going to shut up now. (Nothing sexier than a man in a suit!)  ;) :o
I'm so glad to hear that you liked this one! I saw that it was on sale and nabbed it today!  I saw someone describe it as a grownup Sempre so I couldn't resist!

I have so much vinyl I have a travel truck to store it all unfortunately my turn-table broke but I have every intention of replacing it.
Demaris, I'm curious what a travel truck is.   I'm picturing you having a gigantic U-Haul type truck parked outside your house full of vinyl records.   :o :D

Ladies, I have a confession.......I just bloody well couldn't help it! I blame Booked ( she recc'd it, I think). But, taking into consideration everything ever said about BR, if you're going to read one (KimKim) then this one tries to bring new elements to a hackneyed genre, it was bloody long though, almost a 1000 pages ( which for a BR is a saga) but it was a pretty good guilty pleasure...as such things go.... :57:

Oooh so is this where I should start for my first BR?  Wait, it says it's book 2...  did you read the first one called A Kingdom Of Dreams?

Anyone here having issues with tinypic?
After selecting the image and i click on "upload now", i get an "error 503: service unavailable" message.

What other app/site do you use to upload pictures on message boards like ours? That does not require logging in our becoming a registered member?

I just got a prompt to update to ios8.0.2 as it's supposed to fix some bugs like this:

"Fixes a bug that prevented uploading photos and videos from Safari"

Hope this update will solve my tinypic problem
