  • 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:

OBL - yup, V&V was quite long more so if you pair that with Love Rescue Me, Edward's POV,. But still loved it. In my Top 5. I wish she would finish the sequel Lullabies and Eternal Love though.  8)

I thought i would have plenty of time to finish several books during the holidays. Chose the Lux series of Armentrout. Mistakenly thought it was only 4 books. Didn't realize there were 5 and each were long. Glad i finished the 5 books though. Overall 4 stars for me. Giving myself a break before reading Obssession, the book of Hunter. But the subtitle Arum #1 makes me doubt if i should read it or just wait until she finishes it all.... Yeah, will just put that on hold first just in case it has a cliffhanger like each of the books in Lux series. Sometimes my OCD and being a serial reader rears its ugly head and i can't stand not reading all in a series consecutively... Thankfully, i don't have the compulsion to read the  various outtakes in Daemon's POV. Do try the Lux series! I had fun reading it.  :)

It helped I read it as a WIP so it didn't seem so bad. And since I love Actorward, I didn't mind.  ;)

Yes. That's the easiest way in my opinion. Just make sure you copy the whole library folder. If you separate the files it may not be able to find them later.

Thank you Ella sooo much.  All my stuff is now on one computer and one calibre library.  Now i have another question hon,  I just found an old amazon account that has a ton of FF on it that i thought i lost.  It is under an old email account, that i dont use anymore.  Is there away to share, download or transfer those FF's from the amazon cloud it is on, to my computer or some where that i can add it to my calibre?

So, here's the thing. you know we were discussing the inclusion of FF on Goodread? I've set myself a target of 200 books this year ( I think I read 145 last year) I think it's only fair that I can include the FFs I read in that total, right? Bloody Counsel was 53 chapters, that book length in my...errr? book ( :D) So...what do you ladies think?

I always include FF in my yearly reading or otherwise the amount I've read would look pretty poor it was just OF.
So, I don't see them problem of including FF especially when some fics are way longer than some books I've read.  :)

My worry is the fuss some of the authors are making about people adding their FF (using the 'add book') on the site...

I don't see a problem with that! If I actually kept track of everything I'm reading/read, I would include them in my list. Some FF are just as long as OF, and sometimes even longer (*cough* *V&V* *cough*)!

So you're worried b/c they won't be included on Goodreads any longer? Is that where you mostly track all your reads?

I use Goodread to track books mainly, but if an FF is good then I place it on there to encourage others to read it . Goodread has a feature where you can set yourself a reading challenge for the year; last year I didn't bother but this year I have and I want to include FFs. But in December there was a fuss from some authors about their FFs being included on Goodread, their argument was that they're not books and that they'd be judge 'out of context'...(I called Bull :poo: on that) but there you have it.....

TBH hun, the worst thing to happen is that fics will be removed from your reading list by the author(s).
I know a few FF authors on FB have mentioned that they've removed their fics from GR after they were added without their permission.  :(

It's a load of  :poo: :poo: as most of the authors against fics being added are probably authors that have/will P2P anyway.  ::) ::)

Just in case anyone cares, Rail Must Fall by Drotuno is now complete, for those who only read fics that are complete (if anyone still reads fics at all).

After all the talk of it a little while ago, I decided to start reading it as well.  I'm only ~30% in and agree it is long, especially alternating each chapter with Love Rescue Me, but I am enjoying the story so far.

Is this one part of another series, or is it a stand alone? I know, I can go look myself, but then I'll fall down the ff.n rabbit hole!

It seems to be *mostly* the Teen Wolf fandom who is against GR, and a few RPF people (THAT I understand), and a couple of Supernatural folks. I haven't seen any Twilight people complaining  yet.

It is PERFECTLY within the rules of GR to add fic there, so long as it's complete, and on a site that lets you download, and not, say, tumblr or a personal blog (I've seen ones from LJ on there though, so who knows), but if the author sees it and sends an email to GR asking it to be removed, they remove it. I think that sucks, if a pubbed author asks to be removed from GR, they get told no.

I was in the middle of that whole mess last month, because TW is what I've been reading, and I added a bunch to GR. It sucked to be told that I wasn't a part of the fandom because I was discussing the fics on GR, but what can you do?

She says that for now it can stand alone, but that there *may be a sequel later, but it's not in the works*.

EDIT: About the Goodreads thing, I'm not sure what to think.  I hope that there weren't many Twific authors in that, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were and yes I suspect that most of the authors who were kicking up a fuss were the pulled to publish ones and I have no sympathy at all.

Thank you Ella sooo much.  All my stuff is now on one computer and one calibre library.  Now i have another question hon,  I just found an old amazon account that has a ton of FF on it that i thought i lost.  It is under an old email account, that i dont use anymore.  Is there away to share, download or transfer those FF's from the amazon cloud it is on, to my computer or some where that i can add it to my calibre?

 :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*
The only way I know is to download them singly to your PC.  Two ways to do it. Put Kindle for PCs on your computer, sign in with the old account and download them from the cloud. Or from the Amazon Digital Content page, download each to your computer by right-clicking on the story and choose send to Kindle by USB. Since there should be no DRM, the should just download fine. 

If anyone knows a better way, I would really love to know. ;)

I read some of your comments last month Matron and I agreed with everything you said. I only read Twifics I've not got the head space to add any other fandom...And the idea that after I've spent the last 3 years reading these stories to told where I can talk about them? Is f*cking crazy!  >:(

Honestly I don't care if they remove the entry as long as Goodread still acknowledge that the book as been read and it counts towards my 200 target. I've added Counsel, at 53 chapters yo damn skippy I want it acknowledged as part of my reading challenge... :P

Is anyone else following Cris' new fic Fairy Godfather? I've just glanced at the latest update and it seems she's making up for the lack of lemons in Wisp  :D But when I think about how long it might take to complete I lose the will to live.......:(

In an ideal world GR would still count them. [emoji13] [emoji38]

I'm kinda skimming Fairy Godfather but she doesn't update regularly (she might now Wisp is finished), I love a good Daddy Kink fic and this is Cris so it's bound to be good.  [emoji6] [emoji2]

Thanks for the heads up. I have been waiting for this to be completed. 99% of what I read is ff and I don't see that changing any time soon.
