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

Its not til I went back and did a check of my entire library that I realised I've read a hella lot more vamp than I'd first thought....Not as much as AH but still a fair amount .  Surely Loopy you've read Grasping Darkness ( and its sequel) by Kiyaraven? And then there's A life Extraordinary by LolaShoes; so many lemons you can barely see straight    Both are really sooooo good and right up your street. 

Yeah I've read GD, it was actually one of the very first fics I ever read and it was a WIP at the time. I've never got around to reading the sequel though. 
I keep meaning to read ALE but keep getting distracted, but it's definitely getting bumped up my TBR list now I know there's Lemons galore - you know me so well. 

I think there's a lot of truth in what the best of the bunch are now published authors and as such no longer have the time or the will to write Twilight fanfiction (can anyone remember last time TeamBella update Pick-up Truck?!).....some members of this fandom have also managed to 'run-off' a number of good writers due to their.....how shall we put it? Aggressive reviewing style? And I do have to agree with you that with no new books/films to spark off the imagination what will become of this fanfiction? If anyone does know of any GOOD  'new' writers maybe we can compile a list?

I went back and checked when Pick-up Truck was last updated as there are only so many times I can keep reading what has already been wrote and it was 25th September!!!!
Mary Elizabeth has said that she will finish it though.

Now they've finished editing Dusty I'm hoping that she does it soon. 

Oh Mrs Fassy, I saw this and thought of you.

But they missed Rob out of the list, he would of definitely scored 4 or 5 Hamms. 

Are you kidding? Bulges….scale

Lol, it's important to know what peeps are walking around with in their underwear!!! 

I know this has had a mixed reaction on here, but it's just completed:


So anyway, I just wanted to know if it's worth reading, or should I just put it on my (never-ending) TBR list for a "rainy day" read. 

With our weather I assume you'll be starting this tomorrow then?   

EDIT - I am still in shock that Wolf Boy made the bulge list!   

I can't speak for Rob but a) It isn't the type of role he's going for these days and b) He has enough on his work schedule plate through at least the end of next year.  and actually this should probably have been brought up under Ella's thread.

Remind me to never p*ss you off 

  Nah! All my PTS ladies are safe from my rants, and violent tendencies  I can't promise the same about my tendency to share TMO though....

I don't think Twilight fandom is dying - its just slowed down somewhat.  People have left yes but that's normal.   Interests change, people end up with crises in their lives, work takes priority, etc.   New people are still finding the fandom.   Fics on Twilighted that I thought had been abandoned have come back to life recently.   Granted its not an avalanche but its progress.  Real life just took over for awhile.  .....  There are new stories cropping up slowly on Twilighted - unfortunately some of them don't really appeal. 

I am suprised that fanfic is that old. I thought it was born with the internet. My ignorance, but now I am wiser.   
I understand that the people grow up, get family and the real life problems. It's normal, but if more leave fanfic that the new came, it will stop at all someday. The fewer new writes/ strories came out the fewer good stories wll be among them.
My question is if the figures yet dropped or if it will take time? I am a quick reader and I am also a little picky, I don't have the list for years. Twilight change my read habbits, now I am worryng what will I read if there will not be new good fanficts 

Here Come The Brides with David Soul, Bobbie Sherman and Robert Brown went off the air in what - the late 70's and people are still doing HCTB fanfic - it started out in fanzines and then moved to the internet.  That's obviously still alive and kicking even on a small scale so I doubt people will stop writing Twilight fics or that the fandom will die.

Thanks for mentioning this...   Wide Awake is probably my second favorite fic now (behind Trippin' Slippin'), but that's only without that epilogue.  I liked the way the fic ended, but to me the epilogue was a major downer!  I'm going to reread it one of these days without the epilogue in the hopes that I can erase that ending from my mind.  

I know I've read Wide Awake, one of the first fic i read out the starting gate but for the life of me I can't remember what was so wrong about the epi that it changed the HEA...KimKK, remind me please? Stick under a SP....


Right. All caught up I think....

Hello,

Sorry , if it is a false place, but is the twilight fanfic dying?
In the last time I come across a lot of great fanfic writers who suddenly stop to write, a lot of them in  the last year( 2013) and I don't know a lot of the new ones, who just started to write twilight fanfiction. Also a lot of small private blocks  with fanfic recommendation are now dead or weren't updated like forever.
And as the book-series and the films are over, I am worring about the fate of twilight fanfics.
What do you think?

Personally, I was late discovering Twilight and the whole world of fanfics, (Think BD part one was actually out in cinemas when I cottoned on and read the books.) Consequently I was late starting to write them. I suppose there will come a time when I prefer to write original works, but for the moment I'm still enjoying using the characters and bending them to my will lol. 

If you've been part of the fandom for five or six years your interest might have peaked, especially if you think you've read everything by now, but there are still plenty of people out there reading. I'm only small fry, but I have readers in over seventy five countries. My issue seems to be getting people to leave a review lol.
