  • 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:

That's a bummer! Hope it's just somewhere in your house! I would be putting curse words if that happened to my ipad.

This is why i carry a bag big enough to fit my ipad. I can't trust myself to just carry it freely when i go out as i might put it down somewhere and forget i did so. Just last week, i was in the restroom of a crowded restaurant. I could hear a teenager asking me through the door, as i was peeing  :P , if i could see her gadget in the ledge. Of course, it was long gone as i think i was already the 3rd person in that stall since i lined up. I could feel her loss but, like a mother, my thought bubble was "bet if you were the one that paid for that with your own money, you would have taken better care of it."  ;D Seriously, as i get older, i tend to misplace things around the house more often. Reason why i try to be careful with my stuff when i am out in the mall bec once you misplace it there, say bye bye forever!  :P
So I can't carry more than about 5lbs for another month. I'm having to use a little tiny purse and carry my iPad or Kindle separately. I am so conscious of what I do with it it's not funny.  I'm so afraid I will put it down and forget it.

I miss carrying around my big tote. LOL!   :'(

Well, that's not good.  I'm so glad my (four-legged) kids leave my toys alone.  Though the kittens keep trying to chew on the power cords. Now if one of those disappears, I'll know who to yell at. Not that it would do any good whatsoever.   :D :D :D

I hope the threat works.  :-*

LOL!!!  Another person with no kids.  Though really, I don't let my husband use mine for long either.  Really, he doesn't actually ask to use it.   :P

If you can fit your whole library onto Dropbox, it is one of the cloud storages that does work with Calibre.  Otherwise I would recommend setting up an account with You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.  load it on your current computer, copy your libraries into the copy folder  (copy the whole Calibre library folder as is), and sync to their servers. Then on your new computer, you can put copy on it and let it sync.  Otherwise, I would just copy the Calibre folder to an external drive or sd card and move it that way.  Either way, once you move it onto your new computer, you just have to point Calibre in the direction of your already existing libraries. 

Just don't use Google Drive to do it. Google renames the files and messes up the database. When it happened to me i was able to get most of it back.  I did lose a few stories. Fortunately, they weren't ones I planned on reading.

Ok, I'm working on this now, and of course, running into issues.

First in installed Dropbox, it's still syncing my files. Then I installed Calibre, but when I try to point it to any of my libraries in Dropbox, it's throwing up errors. It loaded the fanfic library fine, but when I try to load the main book library (the one with all the real books!) it tells me that no library exists there yet. Is this because it's still syncing, or did I goof something up?

You have to wait for it to finish syncing for it to find the library. It should work when it's all done.

I've heard good things about it but I couldn't get into it at the time.  I will probably try it again later.  ;)

I'm thinking of reading CW&IA for the exact same reason, 'wanna dip my toes back'...It's the only fic I've ever flounced, away, away, away at the beginning of my fic reading career but so many people have either flounced or wanted to that I'm not sure this is the best way to re-enter the Thunderdome  :P

Anyone have any other suggestions?
Lol, I've still not "dipped my toes back in" yet as I've only just finished the ARCs that I had to read.
One of them is definitely gonna give me nightmares as it starts in 1st person only to swap to 3rd person.
I emailed the author that she needs to re-write the whole thing before it's even safe to send it out as an ARC again.  :P :P

I liked CW&IA, though I've not read the published versions (there's 5 books, I think) of it yet even though I have them.  ;D

Carry it freely!! Hell, my iPad is incased in  titanium-like casing, then carried in a bag that is padlocked to my wrist!!! Kinda... :D The idea of losing my iPad brings me up in hives...
OMG hun, that is so me as well. My iPads are practically soldered to my body, it's been known for the hubby to have to pry them out of my hands to get schmexy (and on the odd occasion just not bother at all  :P).
While I'm using one, I know where the other is at all times they have a draw next to bed where they are kept while I sleep.
The first thing I do (even before sorting the kids out) is check that they are still okay.  :D :D

Your kids are lucky hun, I won't even let my eldest daughter (and she's 16) near either of my iPads. If she really wants to use one, she can get her own.  >:( :o :P
I'm so on track for winning Mother of the Year.  :P :P :P :D :D

I've read it ( had to go and have a quick refresher on what the story was about) and it is a pretty good story; I'd recommend it, there is much worse stuff out there you could read... :(

Yeah, I've got right at 4gb of books in Dropbox alone. Haven't even started with Copy yet.

My new laptop came with 20gb free for a year with Dropbox, haven't decided if I want to use it or not. It's one of those things, if you have the space, you WILL fill it up, then where will I be in a year? :D

My Nexus isn't nearly as pricey as an ipad, but I still don't let anyone else touch it, I get antsy if DH even picks it up. He thinks it means I'm hiding stuff, but I'm really not, he's aware of all (ok most) of the stuff I read!

So, I bought Shay Savage's new book Alarm because it looked pretty good. I think I am going to start it tonight. I will let you all know my thoughts on it.
