Shut down, restart?

That's as far as my talents stretch.

But I also throw in a little prayer to the 'pooter gods as well!

Forget the praying, I've found threatening to whop it upside the head (a la Rosalie) works really well with computers LOL! 
 

I want to know this too! I use the plug in, didn't know it would do THAT!

I found it!  Thanks Anchalee!

I would never have thought of doing that!

Okay, copy the author page URL, then select the "Get URLs from Selected Page"  Input the author page, hit individual stories and it gets them ALL! 

Going to try it with Favorites next!!!



Doesn't work for the Favorites page.  Darn it!   

  Yes, I agree!  Definitely better than FSoG!   

I've already got Once Upon A Saturday loaded and ready to read when I finish FaN.

Once Upon a Saturday scared the crap out of me. 

And read it! 

Have you guys heard of Spank - The Fifty Shades Parody?

My friend went to see it and she said there was some mention of "the kind of people that like fan fiction" (she was poking fun at me)...      I wish I had been able to see it when it came through here!  Heard it was hilarious.

LOL  This made me laugh.

   My friend said they didn't use any of the same character names...  does that help them get around the legal aspects?     

Here's a great FSoG parody from YouTube:

What makes it great is that they're mostly making fun of EL James.

Ella...can you please change the subject bar for your post? 

One day, I will calibre (calibrate?) everything and I think this is a tip I want to be able to find again!

I actually downloaded Calibre on my laptop a couple of weeks ago, so I'm getting closer to that day.

NO!!!! I will not eat green eggs and ham.



oh, wait, you wanted me to change the title thing.  Yeah, sure! 

Well holy fucksticks, that's awesome! Why did it take so long to figure this out?? Only bad thing is when the author writes in a fandom I don't read, some are very prolific!

Yeah, I was thinking that.   I guess I can delete them after searching for Harry Potter or Gossip Girls or whatever......

I'm wondering, do you speak spanish? From what I remember from History class (never my favourite subject) it was the official language there for 3 centuries. Merienda is also how we call the mid afternoon snack 

Hola! Como esta? Habla espanol un poco. LOL! 

I really don't speak Spanish, at all. You are right, Phils. was colonized by Spain for hundreds of years. This is why our language has a lot of Spanish words/origins. I can get the gist of some sentences but i couldn't say  with certainty that i understood it all. In college, we were all required to take 2 electives in a diff. language of our choice. I chose Spanish bec i figured it would be easier (i was wrong). During my sister's time (13 yrs older than me), it was required to be Spanish.

We shortened some of the words or changed the spelling a bit but it means the same:
Kamusta for como esta (how are you)
Silya for cilla (chair) etc.
So if you come here, you will probably feel at ease hearing common familiar words. 

I know one sentence by heart taught to me by my naughty classmate (which he soooo wanted to say to our terror spanish teacher): Besame cullo.   (Kiss my a$$)

Once Upon a Saturday scared the crap out of me. 

And read it! 

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

It scared me too, I had to wait for it to complete.

Same here! I was reading it and saying to my head at the same time... Oh no oh no oh no oh no, please no, oh no oh no.... Good thing i was late to fanfics so most of the good ones were already completed so i didn't have to wait for the ending 

  I don't know how you guys read WIPs.   I think I'd lose my mind on some of these if I had to wait.  LOL

I avoid WIPs like the plague! 
Just got sucked in to read 2 and it is taking them so long to be updated:
1. Lullabies and Eternal Love (V&V sequel, I started it knowing it was a WIP)
2. Me and Mr. Cullen by Catastrophia (purely by mistake, thought it was a completed fic when I started it)
as you may notice, both are actorwards
