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

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows if Closer by TeamBella23 ends in a HEA?

Can you remind me of the summary...I don't have access to my library.

NB. Never mind I remember and yes it does...as much as TB does HEAs..

Sure! Here you go...

Summary: What do you do when you lose the love of your life? When the only person who can fix you is the one who can longer do it...Scream.' A story about finding love despite the consequences. When being wrecked and damaged doesn't matter... B E AH/OOC lemon

Closer has as much of a happy ending as you could expect, like demaris stated. But there's two sequels that kind of take you on a nose dive roller coaster of emotions. I really liked the series but it's very strange that Edward's character is a doctor yet he has such a volatile relationship with Bella, I would think a doctor would realize that he and Bella need serious therapy with the way they act in that series. Which they do, in the sequel but they turn into one of those WHO NEEDS THERAPY WE HAVE LOVE couples 

I still liked it though.

Edit: I remember reading an interview that some fiction blog did with TeamBella where she wished she hadn't included part of what happened in the next two stories, and I think if you read Closer and like it, you probably should stop there.

I had a real reminder that I'm getting old tonight, as my Best Gay called me and at first I thought he had butted dialed me as I was sure he was he was saying "I'll do my best Austin Powers!" 
But then he was like whisper shouting my name saying that he had gone home with his date and he was saying "Help, he wants to do a Golden Shower!" 

I seriously need to invest in some hearing aids as I swear that is not what heard him say. 
So I sent the hubby out to go rescue him and they both had a good laugh at my expense calling me from the car doing bloody Austin Powers impressions all the way home. 
I just thought I'd share this with you all as I keep laughing about it now and the hubby just keeps looking at me and saying "Oh, behave!!"

How do you convert a mobi into a pdf? I have been trying to use Zamzar.com but I am confused. Thanks!

Why would you want to. (Says the Kindle owner)

Have you tried You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  And I think Calibre will do it as well.  But epubs work best with most tablets and non-Kindle ereaders.

Which list are you talking about? The 27 Annoying Things or Ella's "OK can't breathe" "Leg cramp" etc...?

Yes to both 

Let the record show that I never agreed to posting/providing pictures of Prince Albert 

One can only hope... As loopy said, we live vicariously through the peeps here 

Despite my now seemingly broad pron knowledge, i am not familiar with all the terms. however, i suspected what Golden shower was but still hoped i wasn't right. sadly, google confirmed I was right and that's just ewwwwwwwwww! 

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

loopy, isn't there a saying too much s e x makes you go blind? maybe in your case, it makes you go deaf  but what an enjoyable way to have your hearing go 

Booked, I think it's too much masturbation that makes you go blind.  Everything I've read says lots of s e x is good for your health.  Of course, it is masturbation month, so maybe loopy has been indulging too much and that's making her go deaf instead of blind, or she was too busy getting herself off and she couldn't hear anything over all the blood rushing to the lower part of her body.

I forgot about the sequels but now that you remind me I have to say that when you read the Closer series you get the first incarnation of a theme that TB will later developed further (Revelry) and culminate into the roller coaster that is Dusty and Bliss' relationship.

So, is there anyone else out there that hasn't read Dusty yet?  I so wish I had read this back in the day with you guys so I'd have someone to discuss it with!  It's killing me and I know there is so much more to come because Bella only recently started high school...  Maybe I can find an old thread where you guys discussed it when you read it as a WIP?   Did she update every single week?  I can't imagine waiting.   I'm having trouble even stepping away for necessary bodily functions like eating and peeing. ;-)

So are Closer and Revelry about different characters and not related to Dusty or each other as far as sequels go?   Just a similar style of writing by Teambella?

I am normally pretty lenient about spag errors, but this story has some good ones

"Every mother wants her daughter to be treated like the queen you know she is and with your first marriage you wasn't"

I don't have the full quotes on these since I didn't start taking notes, only going by memory

the barrier of bad news
upset that they didn't get to through us a party

They also used board instead of bored and wear for where.  According to the author's profile she only speaks English.

OMG, those are pretty bad especially for an English speaking person. I mean you can forgive someone if English isn't their first language and there's SPaG errors.
What fic is this hun? I'll avoid it as I can't read another one which I'm sure is gonna be headache inducing. 

It's a shame really as sometimes it's the SPaG that ruins a really good fic, like at the moment I'm reading You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login (it also proves that sometimes people are obviously reviewing something different to what you're reading as this has over 5000 and what I've read have all been positive) which has a a pretty decent plot to it but the SPaG is awful even after getting a Beta 11 chapters in hasn't improved it.
I'm really close to flouncing my first ever fic, but I've made about 70% so I'll probably see it to the end even if I'm suffering from headaches just trying to read certain sentences.
