Phrased far more eloquently than I would have.

Thank you. I do work with words for a living. I sometimes need to be diplomatic, as well.

Yes. That's basically all I want. Well, that and to be able to unread the first three paragraphs of that fic up there.

Also, I should talk to the guy who does the shamwow demos at our state fair this summer. It never occurred to me to use it for those messes, but considering what fics you guys are recommending on here....

Cue awkward silence.

Well I don't use calibre, I have it but don't use it. But if you just want to download fics, then you should use this...

This is so easy to use, you can download pdf, mobi, epub and more. You should't have a problem with it.

Hope this helps

And I really don't know what's worse the BOB one or the shamwow warning; Gawd their both traumatizing!

I could do with some lessons in diplomacy - at least that way I wouldn't (unintentionally) piss so many people off.

Good luck with that. That's the worst though, I hate it when I unintentionally piss people off.

OMG I did I skimmed through the A/N and chapter 6 says that you should take off your panties.

Ugh, to me, that reads too much like an author patting themself on the back because they just write such awesome lemons.

Is there some sort of guide somewhere that will tell me how to get/download fics with Calibre? I've got it installed, I just don't know how to work it...

You need the fanfictiondownloader plugin, then you just add the URL of the story when you have it installed. There's very likely a guide somewhere online if you google. An easier way is to do what ajamm said and download an epub/mobi using flagfic and then import it into Calibre.

See this post. It will give you basics and direct you to another set of posts where we started talking about Calibre

I do this so often. It doesn't help when I have a couple co-workers who misunderstand everything I say. For instance, asking if they need more work must mean I think they work too slow. Sigh.

My problem is that my sense of humour is far too dry, a consequence of where I live, I'm afraid. I'm so sharp sometimes, I could cut myself.

It's upsetting that I offend anyone though - that is never my intention.

I'd better review how I speak to people at work too.

I grew up on Monty Python, so I definitely have a weird sense of humor.

But sometimes, it's really not us that is the problem. In my case, it turns out no one else had a problem being asked if they needed more work. They'd say "no I'm good" and that was it. It is frustrating though.

After finishing Inside Man by ooza which I enjoyed, I have decided to read another one of hers - Running for Home.

I'm watching Seven at the moment and Brad Pitt is gorgeous in this film - even with a goatee!

I've got Calibre working and am logged into/downloading from FF.N, Twilighted and TWCS. Thank you to everyone who either helped or redirected me.

I may never leave my computer again.

Also, I might need a bigger external hard drive... Oops.

I'm sick of summaries putting me off decent fics.

I've been reading Inside Man by ooza and am loving it. I can't believe I left it for so long.

I know what you - I've actually been put off some fics, coz the sumaries have been crap and then started them because I was bored only to find out they were pretty decent.

Talking about what we refuse to read in fics - I absolutely refuse to read anything were the author suggest you get out you BOB (if you know what I mean) or when at the end they say they need theirs or that they need a cold shower! Yeah ... I kind of want to stab myself with a pencil when that happens

Ughh, that annoys the sh*t outta me - I can take an author saying that it's gonna be a hot chapter, but I don't wanna be told to dig through my box of toys etc.

I skip A/N's most of the time now as after reading a fic ages a go where the A/N's where like nearly 2 pages each time making them about a 5th of the size an average chapter was so annoying and most of it went on about what she had done that weekend etc.

I grew up watching Monty Python as well and absolutely love it - I nearly pee'd my pants with excitement when I went to Spamalot for my birthday earlier this month, shamwow anyone?

Best one-shot I've read in a while. I love Sadtomato, I think she's my favourite Fan Fic author, or at least one of a very, very select few. All her stuff is beautifully written; You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login is one of my all-time favourite fan fics.

Wasn't it lovely? I had a few tears at the end.

Oh my, a Bella/Emmett? D_D has already disowned me once today! I have to admit though, since I saw those Kellan shots I've been looking for a good B/Em story. Thanks!

You do realise that is actually flouncing? None of this semi flouncing malarkey!

If it sucks - flounce. Simple.

As some of you know by now, am a bit OCD.

I will stick it out to the bitter end. But lately, have learned to accept a bad fic is a bad fic so i will just skim, read start of paragraphs or bits of the conversation parts to understand enough of what's going on just so i can reach the end faster. Last one i did this was Have I Mentioned I effing hate edward cullen? had so much promise based on the summary only to disappoint me.

Need those lessons too. where do i sign up? Am a straight talker at work which is highly unusual for our culture. I always crack a joke or make people laugh to balance out my frank outbursts. Have you experienced those times when you say something and immediately regret saying it? Yeah, that happens a lot to me. I am trying to tone things down and be chill/not react instantly and its been a chore!
