I've read it. I enjoyed it mostly. It overstayed its welcome a bit, but if you like actorward and some light BDSM, you should enjoy it.

It has been in my TBR list for the longest time as i love actorwards. The length is a major deterrent for me so i haven't gotten around to read it

I generally only read one completed fic at a time (I'll read WIP updates if they post) so for me, reading something of a million words would take ages!

Quote from: Matron

I know red fades fast, which sucks as it's my favorite go to color. I remember years and years ago I had this shampoo that actually deposited color back into the hair but I don't remember what kind it was or where I got it.

We have something like that in the UK by John Freida called the Radiant Red collection. It might be hard to get in the US but you could also try mixing a wash-in wash-out hair colour with your normal conditioner to brighten it up a little. Using hair care products for coloured hair will also help.

I'm looking for some recs. I want to read some mindnumbing stories, with plot but not too much drama, you read it, enjoy reading it but afterwards you say there didn't actually happen anything important. Kinda like Rosamunde Pilcher, you know?

I have to fill my kindle with beach reading material, that kind of stories you can stop reading when it's your turn building sandcastles.

Pairing doesn't matter

John FReida is easy to find in the US, about 6 dollars.

I can even find here in Brazil. It just cost way more. I hate taxes.

Sorry to go slightly off topic but just had to share this...

Just came home from watching Hansel and Gretel: witch hunters (jeremy renner/gemma arterton). There was a "lovable" troll there, he was named Edward...

Think it was on purpose bec the way he revealed his name, with a pause before gretel comprehending, was too much of a coincidence. moreso since the movie dealt with witches and monsters...plus will ferrell is a producer

Of course, it may be bec i would forever associate that name with OUR Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. however, my daughter and i, as well as the other teenaged girls and boys around me, all snickered at the same time after the troll said his name as he was soooo much the opposite in appearance of the most famous Edward in the world... so i guess i will forever be grinning, smiling and wonderfully remembering our "dreamboat" Edward whenever i hear that name *sigh*

What about when authors note are longer than the chapter?
Arghhhhhhh

Chilibabe · « **Reply #4111 on:** January 25, 2013, 02:17 PM »

I have a titleless story in my library. It's written by Chels926 and it's about Rosalie witnessing a crime and needing to hide using the witness protection. There she meets Emmett...

Please tell me the title, such gaps drive me nuts...

Very annoying. Half the time I have no idea to whom they are talking. If they want to tell their friends they love them, why not send them a PM? I also do not need to read about their imaginary conversations with the characters, argh!!! Once read a fic where I got so fed up of having to skip down from the top of each page to get to the story because there were very long coversations from the author's imagination. Some can be funny/quirky, but a third of a page, page after page, no - absolutely not.

I have a great pic of Edward that I want to attach-- does anyone know how to do that from my iPad? I have the picture in my camera roll.

Mathisson in Shamrocks and Shenanigans would "talk" with herself, errr Edward.

I'm reading under pressure by JiffyKate. And it is a nice, light reading.
Except for "conversation" between the authors. Argh

I just mentioned this the other day, drives me INSANE. I mean....really. Why in the f*ck put all that silly shit at the beginning/end of a chapter, people don't want to read that. What a waste of time

I read A LOT of vamp fics....esp with my Jasper obsession. And one thing that drives me crazy? Is when, after the author has made it very obvious they are vamps, they put 'vampire' in front of any word that displays the differences between vamp/human.

Examples:

My superior vampire strength.
I saw so many different colors at once because of my vampire vision.
I could hear noises in the forest for miles out because of my vampire hearing.
I could smell her arousal from across the room because of my vampire sense of smell.
Vampire speed.
Vampire beauty.
Impenetrable vampire skin.
Golden vampire eyes.
Unbreakable vampire body.

They are vamps. WE GET IT. This is fanfic. We are (um, mostly?) here because of the Twilight books....where we all know they are vampires. It is not necessary to put vampire in front of every word to convey these traits to your readers.

End rant.

Okaaay.. now you are over that, I have to admit that I rarely read vamp-fics any-more - which is sad considering that it what this fandom is based on.
I much prefer A/H for some reason.

Yup. Felt good, it's been driving me nuts and I can't put that in a review.

When I first read fic, I stuck with AH. I wouldn't read nearly the vamp stories that I do now if I only read E/B....I prefer Human E.

When I first started reading fic I didn't even know A/H existed.

You can't put that in a review? At the end of the day it is only constructive criticism!

I don't review as much as I should as I really couldn't lie and say well done when it was shite.

laurendeplume · « **Reply #4120 on:** January 25, 2013, 04:03 PM »

Okay, so I too am an AH girl, but I literally just finished reading my new favourite AU fic of all time.. Beyond Time by TKegl. So good! I wish I'd read it earlier, it's been on my TBR but I kept skipping over it. If anyone wants anything to read, try this!
