  • 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:

I'm so glad I don't read much OF. It's pretty much limited to mysteries and um, hm, well,  shoot. I think the last non fanfics I've read were a book on braiding hair and some cookbooks.  :D :D :D :D :D

I think if another Dusty comes along,  you may read again.  I will admit there aren't a lot of good ones left. But every so often I find one. Or a new or old author comes along who is actually great. I'm kind of expecting twifics to disappear except for the young teen writers who are just discovering Twilight. It's been 6 years since the last book and over a year since the last DVD.  Most of the older writers should have discovered the genre, shouldn't they?

I did notice that completed fics per week on ffnet have dropped by almost half in the last 6 months.  So with your reading speed?  Yeah, you might be done.  ;)

I'd agree, but then I remember the 1000s of twifics on my TBR that seem to shout 'WTF are we? Chopped liver!'

But talking about reading speed, I have finished the 3rd Groupie book.....I've no words.

Lol, love that your hubby's just like "more Twilight NOT ALLOWED!"  :D :D
The hubby has no idea how many fics I've got stored on the laptop to transfer to the iPad, he thinks it's bad enough I have an iPad just for fics.  :D :D

Read it hun as you love your angst like we (Kim as well) do, you'll totally understand what we mean when we say it's so bad it's good.   :P :PI have 3 iPads - all with different books on and nearly all of them are full so it's either rob the bank and buy another or have a cull real soon.  :(
I've decided I'd rather go to confession than delete any books as that's sacrilege right!?!  :D :D We should do a round robin and so write a story with that title.  >:D >:D
We'd corrupt so many people.  :P :P

LOL!!!! Did a little math last night.. if I read one fic a week, it'd take 28 years to finish my collection! LOL I'm not so sure he's seen the WHOLE collection as its safely tucked away on the cloud, backed up on google, backed up on an external... Can't be too safe! I'm on the crazy train!

I've decided its my next read :) It's twific break time :) I'm almost done with Tropic of Virgo!! UGH! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! [emoji48]

A groupon round robin would be fun!! [emoji16]

Yes! I'd say it qualifies as sacrilege! [emoji6]

My hubby knows that I read Twilight ffn smut. In fact, he will even ask me if I am reading anything good.  >:D  I have read a couple of stories out loud to him that he has enjoyed. Shocking but true.  :D :D

I think it's called Groupie.   LOL.  My phone just typed Groupon.   Now that would be an interesting name for a story.

I've been hanging out here too long, when I read groupon, my brain added an extra R in the second half of the word.

My husband knows about fanfiction, although he thinks its all sparkling vampires and says the writing quality isn't good, which is true of some, but not all.

My husband also knows about my addiction to twi ff. He also knows about my book club membership, where we review and rec a multitude of things.
He also knows I have an unhealthy addiction to Rob. He's dealing with it, so are my kids.
Through all these addictions I met you awesome guys....that's a good thing.

Looking at the mobireads forum for Calibre and iTunes, it sounds like Apple blocked the use some time ago. I'm not totally understanding the work arounds.  But then again, I find people using it. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Run both as administrator. If that doesn't work, you can always highlight the stories you want,  right click and send to device?  I'm blanking.  Sorry. I will get on in a minute.  But really?  I only have minimal knowledge of Apple computers. My old ibook mostly just sits in a drawer. Complete waste of money.

Lol, that's probably the best description for them.  :D :D :D

I kinda know what you mean, but I had a 2 month break from twifics and decided to read one the other week and I was pulling my hair out by how badly it was written.  :(

A fic that might make you return for a day or two is Wisp, it's meant to be finished in a few weeks.  :dance: :dance:

Lol, I made my nephew do the maths for me as he's our resident rain man the other month and he worked it to be it would take me 22yrs and 7mths to read all my fics and another 137yrs and 4 mths to read all my OF, and I've added to it since.  ^-^ :D

Lol, I could just imagine us doing a round robin, it would just be one massive lemon.  >:D >:D :P :P

I tried to telling the hubby it was sacrilege but he didn't believe me, so glad someone else is on my side.  ;) ;)

Totally agree with you hun, would love to read like Number 5 or my lovely boy Reid (from CM) where apparently just running your finger down the page means you've read a whole page in a matter of seconds.  :D :D

I went through a stage a few weeks ago where I was averaging 5 books a week, now I'm barely reading 2 a week.  :pulling :pulling

*ahahahahaaa!!! That's so funny.. I love how the months are added in  8) 8) 8) I didn't even look at OF because, well, FF is my priority  :D

5 books a week!? I can barely get through one! I can't read when the kiddies are around, and my days are so busy. I try reading at night while they are home and I get interrupted a hundred bazillion times and lose my focus... Its more frustrating than enjoyable, so I read at night until I'm exhausted and pass out around midnight  8) sometimes later depending on if I can put the book down or not.  :)

My hubby knows about my obsession with Rob too (along with every other person in my life, I obviously have a problem containing my emotions!) and the obscene amount of Rob photos on my laptop.  >:D  "Hey you're boy is on TV" *ahhahaah... I get that one all the time.
My kids do too! Lots of eye ball rolling, and "why do you like Twilight so much" "why do you like Rob so much"  :D

I can't help myself!  :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

That is so true! I've met so many amazing people since my Twilight journey began, and lot of them have turned into wonderful friendships! I know I'm fairly new here, but I'm so glad to have peeps to share my crazy with  :-*

Lol, he even told me not just the yrs and mths but the days as well.  :o :o

I read when everyone else is asleep at night that's the good thing about being an insomniac (I only need 1 hr sleep a night and I'm fine) or otherwise I wouldn't get any reading done at all.  :( :(

Yes I gathered that when I looked on Calibre's FAQs, but I've not updated my Lappy's operating system since I got it so worked fine until yesterday...WHAT POSSESSED ME!!!  :pulling :33:

I'll have a look at the forum link you posted and see if I can figure out what they're saying, otherwise I need another reading app (not ibook) that works with both iPad and Calibre and talk to each other....suggestions on a post card.  :P
