Fic Rec/Excuses

"Where's my Offside update, woman???"

Okay, I really don't rec too many stories, becasue I really don't read that many.  Other stories tend to get in the day of writing and get me thinking about things other than the story I'm trying to create, so I just don't read.  There's one that's been out there for a while that I have heard people mention here and there, but I never took a look at it before yesterday.

I haven't written a single word since then.

In Your World, the Amishward story by solostintwilight.  It's simply incredible.  It's a work in progress, which drives me nuts, because I have to wait now with everyone else, but it's one of the most beautiful stories I've read in twilight fanfic land.  The telling of Amish life, obviously well researched, and the simplicity of Edward and Bella's love is simply a joy to read.  There is a bit of angst, but not high on my scale, so you should be okay.  It's well written and the chapters flow together perfectly.  Go check it out while you wait for my lame ass to update again.

  6. I love this fic as well.  I was wondering though, what would happen after Edward and Bella got married and Bella couldn't conceive a child?  You know how the Amish love their big families.  I guess then it would be okay for Edward to go and find someone else to fuck so he can have children and get his big family like he's excepted to do.  I'm sure if that happened it wouldn't rank very high on your angst scale either.   It wouldn't change the love you have for the characters, I'm sure.  You would just understand that the author wrote this amazing love story between two people, but if that is the way she wants her story to go, then that's fine.  You can just stop reading it.

  7. I adore "In your World" too.  I don't do uncompleted works except with authors like you whom I can trust.  I guess I have committment issues.   But I got in on this story on the ground floor and am totally committed to it.  Edward is so sweet and genuine and they are just good people.  I've enjoyed watching their love grow and both charactors blossom and heal because of it.
    While I'm here, I love offsides and like potato chips, I am constantly reaching for one more.  And UC?  Well that is just the love of my life and while I'm hanging on by  bloodied fingernails, I am also hanging on with the faith that you love these charectors too and will bring them through and we'll all breath again.  Until then  I eat the potato chips you offer with baited breath.  Thanks for all your hard work on both projects.  Your truely are in a league of your own.

  8. I love this story too, but I don't think Savage meant anything about her comment reg the angst. I think she was poking fun at herself because how upset people are with her about UC. I also never see her rec stories so if she does mention another writer's story, she is really liking it, not picking at it. Just saying...

  9. compared to the angst that savage dishes out, i'd have to say that this story has absolutely not angst at all.

  11. Welcome back, I hope the vacation was relaxing and whatnot :D

    I'm glad for the long break with this next chapter because I think it will allow some readers to calm down, but also get excited again for the storyline. http://i47.tinypic.com/25exmc3.jpg

  12. More like where is my UC teaser woman?!

    There are two things I want desperately first thing Tues. mornings - my caffine fix and a teaser.

    Don't my me - I'm just an impatient person in general.  Glad you're back from vacation and had a great time.

    I too adore In Your World.  I actually stalk your favorites list on FF - you have excellent taste.

  13. what? hon, i dont think every fic would go a la Savage. And if Bella doesnt conceive, the amish way is that once you are bound in marriage by God, having relations with other women for whatever reason is considered almost a crime. Esme didnt bear children, but she adopted. If God doesnt give them children, then its the way it is. I think you lay off your pipe and instead of telling people to stop reading I suggest you re-read again the amishward, maybe the secnd time around you will understand it. what is it people? everybody is telling everybody to stop reading? Dont you have a smarter line to write?

  14. well, dont assume too much and dont underestimate the readers. There are not some readers by the way, there are a lot. As for getting excited again, we will have to see.

  15. Umm, I was being sarcastic, Alaina. lol   I am very sure that the wonderful author of In Your World would not have her Edward do anything of the sort.  She actually cares about her readers and what they desire from reading her fiction.  She would never be so cruel as to write her characters doing what Savage is going to have hers do.  Sorry if you didn't understand the meaning behind my post.

  16. Okay, you are clearly trolling. Especially with the "Lay off your pipe" type comments.
