Hi girls! :)
I have a question...how do you usually choose a ff?? first thing i read the summary and note if it is complete or not. I also look at the reviews but sometimes they lead me to orrible fics  8)

I now that what I'm about to say It's blasphemy today..I prefer Weiss german beer................................. :singing

I read the summary first. If I like the story line, no spag issues I check to see if it's completed. I then read the first few chapters to really see if it's something I can get into. I have to get a feel of how the author writes before committing myself to the story. Reviews do play a part in what I check out but I go mainly on recs given on the various sites.  Lastly, it has to be a B&E hea Fic. I don't do wips, I just put the story on alert if I like it and wait till it is complete.
I am not a big drinker of beer but some green shite was forced on me and I'm never doing that crap again. It's good to try new things but that was just wrong

Never in my life have I been as drunk as I was last night :P My family is all Irish so of course I went out in celebration of St.Patricks day, but I'm regretting that this morning. Someone save me :(

I re-read My Cowardly Lion the past few days (it's still up on FFn) and I was reminded of how much I love it. The only thing is I always end up skimming it and just reading the most important parts - in my mind it easily could have been half the length it is currently.

Oh, and as for picking a fic I'll either use a rec site (The Lemonade Stand/TwiFFrecs) or I'll pick one from an archive I know contains good stories. I mostly judge based on summary and skimming the first chapter or two.

I have never read My cowardly lion so I'm gonna go check it out. If you like it, it can't be bad.
Have a good day recovering.

I pick stories in many different ways.  Mostly I read the summary, verify it's complete and maybe look at the first chapter writing to see how bad it is.  I also get recs from here & other places.  But really? I don't look at reviews. 

Also? I'm not a big beer drinker but I usually like porters and bochs -those are dark beers

I wondered where you've been! You need water, sunshine and vegemite on toast!

I'm off to bed - it's almost Monday  :'( - but I only have 9 school days left until holidays  :)
Really???? 9 days and then holidays? If it weren't for the kids, I think I'd love being a teacher.  So much time off. ;)

I do the same, but, I will read the first couple of chapters to get a feel for the story and the writing style.  If I don't like it I flounce.

The number of reviews can be misleading.  Sometimes, an author reposts a story and keeps the number of reviews from the first posting. In other cases some popular authors have fan clubs and the minions just review for the sake of it - in my opinion anyway.

I don't drink any kind of beer - yuck.

I read the summary, look at the author, if it's complete... then I read the first chapter and sometimes the last chapter and then I download it and keep it for later...  :D or I read it immediately when I really like it.

I never go by reviews!


And, yeah, though I'm German... I have to confess... I don't like beer!  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  :D

I only look at reviews if I am trying to figure out if the fic is finished and just not marked complete. I watch a fic based on it's summary and feedback here, or on ADF or if it's mentioned in an author's note. Then I only start to read it when it is finished!

When I read a story that I like I look at that author's favorite stories list.  I also am a member of a few communities on ff so I get recs that way too.

Well, I'm an auditor -it's accounting with a twist.  So it is a little more fun, at least to me. 

But I do get more than a week vacation a year - about 4, but if you plan it right with the holidays, it can be stretched out to more. But mostly? In the US? Grade school teachers don't get paid all that well if you take into account the cost of living. So many of them work at other jobs during summer breaks. 

Maybe you'll get more time off after a few years?  ;D

Sorry you're not feeling well  :(

I've picked up this stupid chest cold that's going around and I've been wondering how much does one really need to breathe?  I mean really?   ;D

On the positive side, I have lost about 5 pounds - weight not money  8)  This is always good.

Blackbird Fly by paramorebrighter 
AH/AU- Bella is a fractured girl with a life-threatening eating disorder. Her whole life changes when she meets Edward Masen. Warning- child abuse and dark themes.


I read this fic early on so it might not stand the test of time, but back then it punched me in the guts.

There's also Clipped Wings and Inked Armour for a Brokenella, but I'm sure you've read it.

Thanks for that rec! It was a pretty good story, very honest.  :-*

When the two of them are literally thrown together, their lives change forever, and they realize that what they had before is not what's in store for the future. Love, loss and lotsa lemons!

I know it's still a WIP - I was reading it a while ago but kinda found that some the chapters were boring, I was wondering if it's worth getting back into?

I need some advice.

im taking some online classes.
The reasoning logic teacher is slipping up on his grammar.

he did two major ones, and one of them he already said it 5 times in the video im watching right now.
Its the kind of mistake uneducated people make.


should i write an email telling him or the course supervisor about it?
or just let it go?
i cant think of an example in english to compare.
 :021: :021: :021: :021:

its so distracting, because he keeps repeating it.

Is there a course evaluation at the end of the course?  If so, I would note the problem there.  If not, I would make my own course evaluation at the end of the course (maybe after I had my grade reported) and send it to the course supervisor.

i wont be graded on this, im taking this class to prepare myself for an exam somewhere else.
does it make sense?
the classes are all about passing the exam. like the bar exam, for example.

It's been a while, but I know my bar exam prep course had an evaluation for each instructor.  However, if you don't have to worry about retaliation, I think you go ahead and report it to the course supervisor.  It won't change the video you're watching, but maybe they'll fix it for future course takers.

last week i corrected the economics teacher in front of the whole class.
something about history, so it wasnt his subject, and i think i did it in an ok way. not humiliating.

its not like i have any doubts about economics, i dont understand it enough to have any. but i was worried afterwards that he would never answer my questions or doubts in the future.

im normally very shy, but i have been confrontational with some teachers, twice before.
im a gemini, thats another word for bipolar.
