Pulling to re-write

Thursday August 30, 2012 at 8:26 PM

No, not p2p. Something else altogether.

So a couple of weeks ago, I asked in a help campfire if anone knew the name to a vamp fic that had seemed to have disappeared in cyberspace. It was an AU Twilight fic, in which both Bella and Edward were recruited into the guard by Aro. This Edward survived the Spanish Influenza and was stationed as a soldier in Italy while Bella was a Brit sent there by her overprotective father in order to keep her safe from the fighting. Edward is turned first and Bella is subsequently changed when it's discovered that she is Edward's mate (when she is brought to him as a meal, he refuses to drink from her, abhorred at the thought of harming her.).

I finally found the name of the fic: It was Sympathy for the Devil, by the romantic egotist.

Unfortunately, it was pulled (according to her) because of a major hardrive crash and a desire to rewrite the story.

EDIT: If anyone has a pdf of Sympathy for the Devil, either pm me or comment in the campfire. :)

 

So tell me campers, does pulling to re-write have as much of a stigma attached to it as pulling to publish? When an author does this, does it put you off of their story? Would you be willing to start the story again? What problems arise with re-writing a story? And to anyone who has ever pulled to re-write, was it worth it?

Share your thoughts!!!!

Give me my vamps back!

Thursday August 30, 2012 at 2:00 PM

Have you read this article?

http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/story/2012-08-29/erotica-trend-fifty-shades-of-grey/57416594/1

Your thoughts?

I've noticed this statement:

-x-x-x-x-

"Two years ago, it was all vampires. Now it's BDSM. Kink is the new vamp."

-x-x-x-x-

I want my vamps back!

What brought you into this fandom? For me, it was (and still is) Edward, because of his redemption. I've said it a thousand times, but for me Edward (in his vampire form) remains a young man (okay...just a man -- more than 110 years have gone by since his birth, after all :-) ) who struggles to be truly accepted and loved because of the person he is. 

I've enjoyed many excellent AH fanfics, provided that they feature a broken Edward who gets his redemption.

I'm not here because of the lemons (are you shocked?), let alone because of the BDMS.

And you?

Weekly Rec + Pimp

Thursday August 30, 2012 at 7:57 AM

Sorry I was gone... I was helping birth a baby :')

Since we had a wednesday help desk wtvoc-style, I thought we would do an old-school rec campfire. You see, in the old days of ADF we used to combine the pimp and the rec. It pretty much was a free for all where you could tell us ANYTHING you would like us to read, wether it was your own, your friends, your favorite, or just something that you heard about. 

 

So let us go back in time and have a REC + PIMP.... Just let us know what you write, what you are reading or what you have read that you absolutely love. It can be any fandom, it can be a fic or a book, it can be an awesome article that you read online. We just want a link and why you love it/why we should read it.

Sound like fun?

WELL, IT IS! IT'S THE WEEKLY REC AND PIMP!

Woot Woot!
