I prefer fics that either tie every thing up or have an epilogue some time in the future showing them with their HEA  ;D

Hail hail.

I was telling Lauren, especially if either of them had a crappy childhood I really want them to have the white picket fence, 10 kids, and a dog.

A "perfect" family. We now in real life nothing and no one is perfect. But this is fiction!
The babies won't cry at night, the dog won't pee on the carpet and the husband/wife won't cheat.

I didn't actually consider the one-shot idea, so thanks for that. I suppose it's one of those situations where you can't win with the readers - you're right that I should do what feels best for me. Sometimes it's easy to forget that, thank you for reminding me :-*

I wonder what I would do without you PTS ladies sometimes - feels odd to think of reading fanfic with no-one to discuss it with now!
I didn't realize you were talking about your own story.  In general, I like it all tied up.  And? And an epilogue-y OS is a perfect way to do it.  ocdmess did it that way for Hit by Destiny - actually, I think it's now 3 chapters.  But it was really great because I loved that story. 

So tie up most of the loose ends in the last chapter - unless you are doing a sequel.  Then you can leave a few.  OS epilogue sometime in the future if you feel like it.

At least, that works for me.....

No one shots. Do an outtake but upload on the same place. It's easier to flagfic like that.
 >:D
Oh! forgot about the flagfic aspect of it.  Some people don't like the epilogues, so if it is a OS they don't have to read.  But yeah, it's harder to make a single story if you download.....

Sorry to be a pain in the behind, but who here finds an epi or tying-up-loose-ends type chapter necessary? I think my fic is nearly over (:() and I'm trying to decide how necessary it is to do one. It feels slightly cheesy but at the same time fics can feel incomplete without one, so I'd like opinions please ladies :-*

I think it's fine to finish a story without an epilogue.  I find it annoying when the epi is nothing more than a chapter that takes place sometime in the future that tells about all the kids they have.

The Hostage by EBAlways. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login is a really interesting article on it, the fic and the book are 99% different, so basically a whole new story. She used the same concept but that was about it. Really good though. Things are always better when they're free ;)

I read that book also, enjoyed it :) I had wanted to read the fic, but she had pulled way before completion so I went for the book....then I imported it and changed it back to twi characters. Only I changed Nathan to Jasper instead of Edward  :D

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

It was a good read.  You may not find it too tear-jerky - it made me sad, but LoopyLu is a little emotional now  ;D
I don't need to be pregnant to cry at books etc, but it's a great excuse when I'm caught do it.  :D :D
Thanks for the warning - read it last night and cried pretty bad - that it turned into the whole hiccup sobs, embarrassing I know.  ^-^  :)

LL Do you want to read it together As I think it looks interesting too :-*
Sorry hun, just saw your post - I read it last night as I couldn't sleep and I was going to stay on here or try and get read of something on my TBR list so I chose the latter - yay, for me.  :D
It is a good read though if you wanna still read it.

Hi
I am reading Breach by Catastrophia. Heard there is a sequel- Reciprocity. Does anyone know if it is out. I know she self-published Breach and was going to publish the sequel or break Breach into 2 books. Just can't find any further info.

Thanks in advance for help.

I don't really know because I don't want to go through all the facebook craptastic comments, but it really looks like Sarah and TB23 are on the outs.  I did see a few comments that some people think this "fight" is a big ploy to garner interest in Dusty should it be published and other comments that while Sarah doesn't want to P2P, TB23 wants to rack in the $$$ from publishing.  I have NO idea what is really going on because I don't keep up with the Twilight fandom on facebook after seeing too much drama and hatred between authors and their fans.  :o

I thought maybe someone around here would know if YB is no more, purely for selfish reasons, because I've been hoping for another fic from them.

I'm such a gossip. I don't even read their stuff.

I bet they are going to publish it. Ad that they are fighting about money.

I'm finishing up Broken Angel today. It was an enjoyable read, but did they seriously do nothing but have sex for the last half of the book?  It's like on and on and on, one reason for sex after another, but nothing else has happened since she was changed.  And there's seriously 3 more books?


This one could have ended a bunch of times already. With the change, with the wedding, with the honeymoon, with the move, and it's still going and going and going..... this is the energizer bunny of fanfic! It's The Return of the King, all over again! End, damn fic, end! It was too good to flounce at the home stretch, but dayum!

OMG! LMAO! I actually put that in my review...in a nice way of course.  I said my only complaint if there was on was that there were too many lemons. 

The problem with vamp fics and lemons?  I start wondering things.  Like how does it get hard if there is no blood supply.  And how do things get so wet if there are, well, no tears for example.  I mean, it is inconsistent - they can get wet and have saliva, but no venomous tears?  And if you were a virgin when you were changed - how does that work? Well, maybe a vampire can break through, but thinking of the Denali sisters and their love for human males - would it have put the guy out of commission forever?

Yeah.... I'm weird LOL!  But these are the things I think about when there are too many lemons....  :57: :banghead: :-[ ::)

In some ways, the next one is as bad.  But there are things going on.  Tanya comes back....Demetri becomes a friend.  There is some excitement in the vamp world..... 

I just skip a lot of the lemons or skim through them.....

So would you say the next one is worth reading, considering my frustration with all the lemons and the lack of any other type of development? (and tanya? seriously? again? she hasn't gotten it yet??)
