It's all becoming clear now...D_D likes the rearview!  I was wondering when we were going to find something you liked about Rob!

She also likes that he kicked SAF to the curb and has his balls back.

That explains the pants - now that his balls are back, he needs somewhere to keep them!  :D :D :D

Exactly! I'm waiting to see if the balls are really back or not.
 :D

Don't want to waste my time crushing on a p.u.s.s.y.  :o

Mob lynching again. Lol.

*cough, cough* I'd be glad to show him where his balls are located and what they are used for. JS

I'm laughing because I just noticed that I have 75 fanfics on my Kindle and I'm completely overwhelmed with how I'm supposed to sort them.  Alphabetical by author? title?   In order that I want to read them?  by category?   I don't even know where to begin.    Did I read correctly that many of you have 1000's?

I'm afraid to even adventure into use Calibre for more than just switching pdf to mobi.

Listen closely.
Freeze!
Let go of the mouse or drop your weapon er laptop/phone/tablet
Put your hands up.
Step away from your (insert gadget here).
Now run.

You are still in the early stages of fanfic addiction. 75? Pffft... there is hope for you yet.  ;D

BUT, if you find you can't stay away, then welcome to the club, baby!! 
Have long since passed the denial stage and have learned to live with my addiction. You do have the best bunch of supporters/enablers here  :). I do get antsy and get moments of panic from time to time when i see my ever growing collection of fanfics and real books. Sooo many books, too little time...  I have a big smile on my face every time i add to my spreadsheet of "Done Fics". Ahhh, one down and a gazillion more to go!  :P

Again, while you're collection is still at a manageable level, i would listen to Ella and sort your stories accdg to Wards or whatever works for you. Putting the summary beside each title helps too so you'll easily know what it is about. It's too late for me to do that with close to 2,000 fanfics and about 1,000 books so am adding the summary to my Done list to help me remember the story (old age sucks, i tell you!). I hear wonderful, crazy, scary things about Calibre so i would try that first in helping sort out/download stuff from fanfiction.net  8)

Many 1000's.

I make collections on my kindle based on Ward - Vampward, Doctorward, Actorward, etc ...I also have college fic,high school fics, lemony OS, etc..... Some are in multiple categories if they fit. I also started keeping a "reading" and "read" because I was getting a little confused. 

I like using the Ward's as then I can use normal categories for real books. ;D
I never even considered sorting them into collections on my Kindle but that is a REALLY good idea!  I need to try to find a way to organize collections on my computer rather than doing the work on the Kindle itself, since it's not super easy to work with.   I was just researching and it seems that you can use Calibre to make collections.  I'm slightly overwhelmed with Calibre, but i guess I need to figure out how it works.   I know how to convert pdf to mobi and that's it when it comes to my Calibre skills.

I got excited for a moment there, I thought it was a vamp fic I've been looking for a good one for a while. ^-^
I'm always searching for good vamp fics so have been taking notes over the past several pages...   have you already read all of these?  Any must read ones that you know of that aren't on that list?

I'm a tad obsessed - again - with these pics. They don't look quite as saggy here, but now I can see the untied shoelace. Do you know how many times each day I need to tell kids at school that their shoelace is untied!

Also, if he pulled his pants up, not only would D_D be able to check out that arse, but he wouldn't have to roll them up either!

And don't even get me started on the whole black shoes with white socks thing!

Shit! When did I become my mother!!!  :o
LOL I thought you were going to say when did you become HIS mother?   I completely agree about the whole ensemble.

I wish this had been available a year ago. I wouldn't have been banned from storymaster. And this works so much better.  All those stories that disappeared during the Great Pull of 2012? Yeah, I would have had them. Just saying.  ;D
Great Pull of 2012?   That right there is enough to turn me into a hoarder!  What happened?

Hm, I completely lost that one. I'm going to check all your lists now ;)
Did you find anything good on the lists that you hadn't read yet?   You should share your Top 10 too!  :)

Is there a multiquote feature on this board?  I can't seem to find it if there is.   I've been copy pasting individual posts and was thinking there might be an easier way?

Thanks for the tips on things I should be doing now at the beginning of my addiction!  I don't think there is any hope of me turning back now.   I like the idea of putting the summary with each title because I only have 75 and I already can't remember what they are about.     I think I'm going to sort by 'ward type and then by title if I can figure out how to do that.   

And I have a big smile on my face when I finish one too because I'm so excited to mark it as finished... and even more so because I can start the hunt for my next read!  I had been alternating back and forth between fic and book, but not sure I can stick to that because right now the fics are sounding better than the next thing in my goodreads queue.

Thanks both for clearing it up, I get it now.

Hm, I never pay attention in such things. The "fandom" weirds me out sometimes... :P Why do people have to be hateful in FF.net? You like a story, read it and leave a review. You don't like it, move on. Or at least be polite...

I like Cara anyways, so I'm bookmarking the story ;)
I should probably have said, the fanfic bullies I'm talking about are not Twilight fanfic people. A lot are "supposedly" teen boys. But there was some question about this.  They mostly wrote manga fanfics that weren't popular.  The rules of Ffnet don't allow for descriptive lemons.  So they reported stories left and right. Only they missed a whole bunch of stories that I know of that are strictly lemons. And very descriptive at that, all because those stories had very few reviews. 

Sorry, it really p*seed me off at the time.

That really stinks!  Especially since they were targeting the ones with the most reviews!

You may also want to try:

Hide and Drink by Savage7289 (AU-High School)
Bella’s blood was just too tempting to be ignored. While Edward drags her around the world, barely keeping a step ahead of his frantic family, Bella battles the monster for possession of the gentler vampire inside her captor.

And With Thee Fade Away by Derdriu oFaolain (AU-High School)
On her first day of school, Bella stands up to Edward: Forks’ own psychotic jerk. Little does she know, Edward is a centuries-old Englishman with a taste for human blood. Will they fall in love, or kill each other first?

The Darkest Hour by Mrs. Hyde (AU-historical EPOV 1920s-30s)
What happened to make Edward leave Carlisle and Esme after his change and play God.

P.S. Beyond Time by TKegl is a fantastic story, but not really a vamp fic. Bella travels back to 1918 to meet a human Edward. It's one of my faves, but there is only a little vamp stuff.

I just saw that Grasping Darkness has an epilogue turned mini-fic...   it doesn't say its complete.  Do you guys know anything about it?

Thank you for these recommendations!! I'm going to go find them and then add to my newly created vampward collection on my Kindle! ;-)

And thanks for the tip about Beyond Time...   I'll move it elsewhere.

Hungry Light is the sequel to Grasping Darkness and still a WIP. The Darkest Hour (and its sequels) isn't on FF.net, but is posted in the PTS index under MrsHyde.

Thank you!!  I'll get it.

I'm assuming that Grasping Darkness would still be worth reading even though the sequel isn't finished, right?   Since the sequel was more of an epilogue?

Since I read Grasping Darkness as a wip, I too also read Hungry Light as a wip. She may not have marked it as complete, but it might as well be. Her note on the last chp posted....

So, my darling readers, that's where I'm going to leave our happy couple for the foreseeable future. The thing is, I had a whole other subplot outlined, and if I went down that track, this fic would have turned into another full-length saga, and my original fic projects would have been put on the backburner for another six months. Even my inner procrastinator vetoed that idea. I hope you understand.

Thank you so much for taking this journey with WindowWard and Bella.
 
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
Much love to all of you. WindowWard sends his eternal affection and gratitude.

I really think they were jealous because their stories are not as popular.  They also hit the Harry Potter fanfic stories hard as well. 

And? At the time? 50shades was becoming huge.  So there may have been backlash from that as well. 

Anyway, my slight hoarding tendencies went crazy after that :D :D :D :D

What is even funnier, these guys probably get bullied at school because they sound like nerds.  It is sad in a way.

Well I mostly bring this up because summer vacation is starting.  So grab your favorites.  Or hope someone else has. ;D
