FanFic or Not.

I have a shit ton of FanFics I need to read But I also have A bunch Of Acutal books that need to be read.

Share yours with me & I'll share mine with you.

I recently bought this Jane Austen 7 novel Leather Bound book for $20 at Barnes & Noble and you cant beat that

Wuthering Heights

Fallen

& I am in the middle of Impulse by Ellen Hopkins.

I usually read a FanFic and Real book simultaneously. Whats your reading preference?

And does anyone use there Twilighted and Fanfiction favorites as there reading list holder?

Ok On with the point

So I consider myself well read when it comes to the Twi fandom, I've read a few of those well knowners and a few of the not so well knowners. I've read good and bad (mostly good, because I tend to stop the bad after the first chapter). I've read one shots, two shots and multi chapters.

Did you know that there are over 650 Twilight fanfictions on ff.net that have over 1000 reviews? Now, just because a story has over 1000 reviews does not mean it's a must read, unfortunately I've still read some stories that didn't do it for me that had over a couple of thousand reviews... However, I am challenging myself to read as many as these stories as I can (because, let's face it, if they have that many reviews then the author has to be doing something right, am I right?).

I have collaborated all of these stories on a seperate fanfiction account and have put them into my favourites list (from here you can sort by how many reviews, words, chapters, when it was published/updated etc.). I've gone through and read a few of the summaries and have tried to work out which one to read next. This is what I came up with:

Devil's Angel

Stop, Drop and Roll

The Misapprehension of Bella Swan

The Sacrificial Lamb

My question to you, ladies, is what the hale do I read next?

What, in your opinion, do you think should be the first on my list. What are your opinons of the other fics, if you've read them. :)

Looking forward to hearing those opinions ladies!! :)

on how my hubby ANNOYS me. Yes-it's that type of post. Jandco and I were chatting just now and swaping stories so we want to know what your significant other does that drives you nuts/makes you rage/makes you put them on couch. Don't be shy. Come and vent with us. We will share in the comments.

Ah Frik! I accidentally went into this to edit it and deleted the content!! :(

Oh well, the gist of what it said before was...

YOU HAVE TO READ THIS ONE SHOT!! IT IS SO FREAKING GOOD YOU WILL FINISH READING IT WITH A BIG DOPEY SMILE ON YOUR FACE.

Sorry for the shouty capitals.

I've noticed that read-a-longs are pretty popular so I thought I'd post one up here.

On the Double by MasenVixen

It's Bella's first day on the job as a body double in the new Edward Masen film. First up? The sex scene...O/S for the Haiti Compilation. Rated M for lemons. AH

Snippet:

Instinctively, I tensed as Edward sidled up behind me. With one warm fingertip, he brushed the hair out of my face before leaning in to sweetly kiss the shell of my ear and then to nuzzle his unshaven jaw against my cheek.

"Right, right. Perfect, Edward. Ok, stay there for a minute."

I lay in bed, eyes still closed, with Edward Masen's cheek pressed against mine.

"You ok so far?" he whispered.

"Umm, yeah," I whispered back.

God, my conversation skills today were seriously astounding.

GO READ IT NOW, then come back here (after you've reviewed) and tell us what you think. :) 

You know what saddens me?

When really good fics don't get enough recognition. I think there was a similar post like this earlier, but I don't care. I'M A RANGER, I DO WHAT I WANT.

So, there's this fic out there, and it's really good. Like, really, really, good. It made me cry a lot when I read it, and I thought the writing was beautiful.

That would be...

Intersection.

By one of my very good friends aka LillyBellis. I don't know why more people aren't reading it. It's complete, angsty, and it's Edward/Bella! Maybe it's because there isn't any smut and it focuses on the story, besides what they do between the sheets.

I know some people who have read it, and have said that the first couple of chapters are hard to get into, I think that might be because it starts off at a really low point, and then it sort of climbs up, you're not dwelling on shit for thirty chapters. And maybe it's because it's Bella that has the troubled past and Edward isn't a raging dick.

This Edward is one of my favorites, and it's because he's a really good guy, and isn't a drug addicted, whiny, melodramatic, shithead.

Oh, yeah, and he's a grown man that's pretty settled in his life.

SHOCKING, I KNOW.

So, this is me, abusing my ranger powers.

IF YOU DON'T GO AN READ THIS, I'LL BAN YOU ALL.

YOU CAN FIND IT IN STORYTELLING, BUT I CAN'T LINK YOU TO IT, YOU HAVE TO GO AND CLICK ON IT YOURSELF.

IT'S NOT DIFFICULT.

DO IT.

PLUS IT WOULD CHEER UP, LISA.

SHE'S CRIPPLED RIGHT NOW.

SO DO IT FOR LISA!

So please Rec me some stories that made you cry.

Sad with Angst Please.

I was in love with

Wide Awake

Clipped Wings and Inked Armor

Hi, Honey I'm home -Though it had lots of funny Bits I did tear up quite a bit.

I love strong Angst that leads to tears. Please help a girl out.

ETA: It has to have good writing. Like Jandco or Angstgodess. I cant settle for ok writing.

For your time and Help

because a lot of you seen to like him

And of Course

Hello Campers

A new story by Jayeliwood was recently posted and its called The List. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5870394/1/The_List

Bella is 30 but where has her life really taken her?She's got a job,but no real life.No lover,no kids,nothing.Feelin lost & alone on her 30th bday she writes a list of things she's never done before but has always wanted to.Maybe life really begins at 30.

After read the first couple of chapters, I started making my own list and thought maybe this is something I would create yearly! Things to accomplish a in years time. 

So if you campers where to create a list or have a list or whatever.. Share what would be on your lists? 

My list would include

visiting a place I have never been once a month (not a huge vacation but just here locally or even just a weekend drive)

Learn to love me again

don't be embarrassed to ask for help when needed!

write in my journal more.

 Look forward to reading yours! This post was ranger approved via email :)

I know this is pretty broad, and I'm sure has been covered before, but what are your top 5 favorite fics of all time?

Those stories you can read over and over again and never cease to laugh at their jokes, cringe at the horror, or cry until you want to go all New Moon Bella on yourself.

Mine are:

1. Get Me To You by chicklette

2. Scotch, Gin, and the New Girl by wtvoc and jandco

3. Clipped Wings and Inked Armor by hunterhunting (I am not even done with it, and I love it that much. It may even work it's way up when I finish).

4. Tropic of Virgo by In.a.blue.bathrobe

5.Edward Wallbanger by feathersmmmm

and yours?

for your time:

It's almost quitting time but I just couldn't *NOT* post this:

Oh, ADF...

Any other weird ish impressed you today?

OOoh, Oh! I forgot the article! You can win this lovely! -  

The Twilight star is now available in solid chocolate... so now Twihards can fantasise about taking a bite out of him rather than the other way around.

Food artist Prudence Staite took two weeks to make the 18kg solid Belgian chocolate bust after a web poll crowned R-Pattz Hollywood's 'tastiest' actor.

One lucky Rob-lover will get the chance to sink their teeth into their favourite choco-vamp — a prize draw is running online via lovefilm.com.

"We were inundated with requests from fans looking to win and even some asking to buy the chocolate head outright," says Fliss White of Lovefilm.

Sanctuary posted again.

Another email.

I'm fairly certain Jennyfly is wrapping things up here.  We've gotten back to back chapters--in a new style. 

I'm torn.  A part of me NEEDS the end to this story...yet, I'm going to miss it dearly. 

All of you Sanctuary readers...what do you think will happen to these characters?

So I've been gone close to 2 wks (or forever using the fandom time calculator).

I've missed the forest sooo much! How is everyone? For those who were on Spring Break, what did you do, where did you go?

As for me? I was all over the UK, terrorizing the old world with my dorkiness. I saw parts of the Staffordshire Horde, the biggest unearthing of Anglo-Saxon gold found in England. Er FYI, as I medieval student I pretty much fandom squeed hella hard.

ugh. life.

Has following an author on Twitter made you like an author less or more than you did before you knew nothing about them?  Has it changed your perception of the story or stories that they write?  Negatively or positively? 

For me, a story is a story.  My perception of the writer may change but I can easily separate that from the story or stories they write. 

*Edited to add: The reason I'm posting this is because someone mentioned in a previous comment over the weekend that they have stopped reading stories because they were turned off by the writer (paraphrasing).

So, share ladies your favorite bad boy/love-hate moments - with these in mind.. 

So, I'm looking for some unapologetic/obnoxious/cocky/ASS ward. Help, please.

BTW, Bella Swan's Dating Guide has an Edward that fits the criteria and ownz meh.

I don't know what it is about an obnoxious Edward that makes me absolutely giddy [while, simultaneously crushing me].

 

For some reason, I realized I really like FF which revolve around Jerkwards. The snarkier, meaner, ruder - the better. Which is so crazy - cause I mean, Edward's whole demeanor [which made me fall in love with his character] was that of the PERFECT/NICEST/MOST UNDERSTANDING guy ever.

On Easter, we had family over for dinner, including my 13 year old cousin. She's in the 7th grade and she's a typical 13 year old. She's always trying to tell me how amazing Justin Bieber is and she spends a large amount of time watching videos on YouTube of snakes eating cute fluffy animals. But that's neither here nor there.

Maybe I'm a little dense, but I just don't get it! I can understand Jake/Bella, (I don't like it one bit;) but I totally get how it happened. I can even wrap my head around the slash stuff, and I suppose, out of all the slash pairings, Jasper/Edward might make the most sense...

But Jasper/Bella? Hello, what about poor Alice? Don't we think she's perfect for Jasper? And what about EDWARD!!!!! Isn't he like, the entire reason for our (my?) existence Twilight obsession????

Is it just because he's a more vampirey vampire? What with the uncontrolled bloodlust and whatnot? Or is there something bigger here that I am missing?? Because I am sure that I am missing out on some great fics, but I just can't do it! I NEED my Edward!!!! Someone explain.....

So I'm kinda disappointed at the lack of news we seem to be getting related to Eclipse with it being only 84 days away.  With New Moon, it seemed like we were always getting something, even when it 5 months away.

So tell me Campers... what scenes are you looking forward to seeing in the movie??  Some things I'm looking forward to: the tent scene, Bella punching Jacob and of course, the battle with the newborns.

Sorry if this has been done before - rangers, I won't be offended if you delete this post.  I'm at work and don't feel like doing actual work........

Check out his youtube channel for the rest of the chapters. They're hilarious!!!!!

Have you ever found a fic that you love, but nobody else seems to like?  I have one. It has under 1000 reviews. I have weaseled its name into as many conversations as I could. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4642236/1/Afterlife I don't know the author. I don't think she knows how obsessed I am with her story. And I can't figure out why nobody else seems to share my passion for this story. Its AWESOME and UNDER-APPRECIATED.

Do you have a fic you like but nobody else does? Talk about their AWESOMENESS here. Tell me why I should read it. It has to have less than 1000 reviews in my opinion. Something not well known. While you are at it, read Afterlife. I don't think you will regret it.Or maybe you will and I'm crazy.
