  • 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:

Am I the only one that can't stand Bella having an internal dialogue with her "cooch"?  I'm reading a story that would be so much better without this stupid "conversation".  Why do authors think this is entertaining?

 ???
MoTU started it. I didn't mind it so much here.  Then it was in Sexy Silk and was somewhat funny. At least the first time.  Now it gets annoying as a plot device. And calling it cooch? Yeah, yuk.

Were you reading Christmas in Hawaii?  I found cooch's love /need for Rod got really annoying. Other than that it was an okay story.  Felt a little rushed.

That's the one, and I agree it does feel rushed. It is just okay and I think it would have been better if she left out Cooch and Junior. 

I didn't like it in MoTU either.

It helped having the FB group to validate that I wasn't alone in computer contrariness [emoji2]...and it was weird because  my PTS froze on the last page I posted on and 'refresh' just brought me back to that page so at first I just assumed OBL was last on the thread and thought no more of it, but when almost a day passed and it was still the same I knew there was defo something up! [emoji23] No way is this thread EVER that quiet!

I conned the daughter, her b/f and the hubby into wrapping the prezzies for me as apparently I make the Grinch look as warm and fuzzy as the Easter Bunny, so I refused to do anything related to Christmas and read a book instead.  :P :P

At first I though tapatalk was crapping out on me after I'd just updated it on my phone, so I was glad that wasn't the case.  ;D

  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
I kept checking all day yesterday. I was forced to go to Facebook, which is always bad because people there rec all these really bad stories. Okay, the stories plot-wise are good. But the inability of these authors to know the difference between your and you're and their, there and they're is driving me bonkers. Not to mention the wrong or missing words. And writing about every movement and step.  Sigh.  Plus this one is on TWCS so not phone friendly.  And I've been needing to complain for two days. It was horrible.  Sob.   :'( :'(  :'(

I missed you guys.   :-*

Dariachenowith - The Elusive Mr. Cullen
« Reply #5334 on: December 21, 2014, 01:54 PM »
Apparently, dariachenowith is publishing The Elusive Mr. Cullen.  But, she's not pulling the fanfic.  This is the attitude authors can have when they put some thought into publishing their fanfic rather than just changing the names:



I'm happy to tell you all that I've written a book! (well, actually more than one, but this one I think will interest you the most).

I rewrote (so I didn't just use this fic, but just the central plot idea) TEMC, and I'm happy to present to you: Hunter & Prey by Kira Barker!

Synopsis:
Penelope Thompson loves her life. She has everything she wants. With her beauty, charm, and intelligence, she is at the top of her game and is one of the most sought after escorts at her company. She chooses her clients carefully and provides them with much more than just a great time between the sheets. Yet now at the age of 33, she is questioning just how much longer she has in the business. Life might be great, but sometimes it gets lonely to only ever be what others want to see in her, without true intimacy.

Darren Hunter has made a killing by being one of the best lawyers in Chicago. Renowned for winning any case, he has built up quite the reputation. He has a new beautiful woman attached to his arm every few months and is what every guy desires to be: wealthy, intelligent, successful, and has the looks that kill.

It is now time for Darren to choose his new "flavor of the season" and it seems as if Penelope has caught his eye. As things heat up between them, Penelope starts to feel as if life is turning into a fairy tale-if not for the fact that one by one, evidence is mounting up that the elusive Mr. Hunter has his own skeletons in the closet. Will his past come to catch up with her? And why do all the women in his life suddenly disappear?

Genre: Thriller / Horror Erotica. Ebook exclusive to amazon (for now) - you can find the link in my profile!

Now why would you consider buying the book? Maybe I can help!

- You love supporting Indie authors

- You want to support me in my insane endeavor of becoming a full-time writer.

- You've been wanting to read the story again, anyway.

- You love reading professionally edited novels with great covers.

- You know someone who'd love to read a sizzling hot book full of intrigue!

- You need an antidote for the holiday madness.

- You want to compare the fic version to the book version.

OR:

If you not a fan of p2p books (although all my fics are still online, even the two I have converted, so I didn't exactly "pull" anything) but you still like my writing, why not sign up for my mailing list? From here on out, everything that I'm going to publish will be original fiction as I'm done re-imagining the two stories that have always been closest to my heart.

If you are worrying now that the fanfic will disappear just because I've used the plot to write a book - worry not! I have no intention whatsoever to pull this fic. As my own publisher, I'm at liberty to decree that I want both versions out there in the world, and I'm making use of that. The book is NOT the fic. The characters are different, the story is (to some extent), too, and I feel like neither version disqualifies the other.

Why did I write the book?
Well, a writer can only hear the words "you should publish this!" so many times before they start thinking about it. But that wasn't my main drive. Even though TEMC was a long shot from your average fanfic, it still IS fanfic. H&P is the original story I felt I wanted to write if it wasn't using set-up characters and expectations. There's still love. And obsession. And there will be a sequel to the book.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to ask! Preferably logged in so I can reply ;) Or feel free to accost me on FB or twitter on either of my accounts.

Get Hunter & Prey now! And the sequel - Bait - will be out in Spring 2015!

Thank you all so much for your support. It really means the world to me to know that so many of you read my story, and still continue reading it!

*snort* The words 'skeletons in the closet' has never been so perfectly literal. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I'd like to know where in TEMC H&P ends and Bait beginnings, or is Bait completely OF?  I think I might buy this as TEMC is in my top 5 Thinking Outside The Box fics.

MY GR "read" list is falling fast, due to all the fanfic authors getting their fic listings removed from GR.

Thank goodness I backed up my reviews to Booklikes!
What? What? What?   Where have I been? They're removing them?

Apparently, some fanfic authors don't want their fics added to GR. They didn't even know they were being added, but once they found out, they had a hissy fit, and a bunch of them are asking GR to remove them from their database. In the past week, my "Sterek" shelf has dropped from 164 books to 140, which took my ratings and reviews with it. Apparently, we are taking fic "outside of the fandom" and GR readers aren't really "fans" or part of the fandom, just M/M romance readers looking for free reads.

A bunch of Merlin, Sherlock, Supernatural, and Avengers fics have been removed too. I haven't heard anything about Twifics disappearing yet.

  • Robsessed and obsessed with fanfiction
Fortunately the PTS breakdown was on a weekend. I'm rarely here on weekends, but got curious when Demaris suddenly posted something on FB.

I think I'll spend the money on Hunter & Prey and the sequel. I'm really curious what she did with it. TEMC is one of my all-time-favorites after all.

I'm just about to finish the last book of The Hunger Games. Another long-term point on my TBR-list. I was reluctant at first, because I've watched the first two movies already, but it didn't really matter. It was even good in some moments to have some knowledge already. I don't think I'd have survived otherwise. I'm halfway through the last book and still can't foresee how this will end. Fantastic books and I don't miss any smexy scenes at all! Definitely not needed there!  :laugh:
