I personally love Sfi-Fi and Fantasy. I've read two books of the Dresden Files, for example, has anyone read those?

I like the way he writes Harry Dresden. I loved the show, too
 But I think it's cool that Harry is sometimes a complete idiot  __________________

a lot of fan fiction is romance
what do people like in that kind of genre I don't like a bodice-ripper romance novel myself, but I do love a good book with a romance in it Again, Gone With the Wind __________________

I think it might be the kind of fantasy that this could happen to them, you know. The love that those characters experience is usually easy and they barely fight and in real life it's never easy and there are always doubts.

I love writing romance fanfic!
 Most of the romance authors I've looked at, though, write a lot of real erotica and graphic sex. I write sex in my stories, but no where close to what some of these romance writers write about! My cousin is actually an erotic romance writer. She has a few books published and her own website. She writes historical romance and she writes beautifully with a great depth and richness, which I think can be hard with romance writing. I want to be a fiction novelist and television screenwriter and I want to write a novel series of psychological romance thrillers cuz I'm a huge fan of psychological romance!  __________________

I liked Twilight because I thought Stephenie Meyer had a different writing style to most out there, but by the third book and definately the fourth, my interest's waned a lot
The first one is my favourite, but I can't say I recommend the other three that much.The Time Traveler's Wife, however... It's so amazing I can't even begin to describe it I find it difficult to find good books/authors though...most of the books I find seem to be based around the same ideas and I like reading something new. Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places __________________

Ellie, I think I can agree with you about Stephenie Meyer. I'll still go and watch the movie, but I didn't even read the forth book.
I'm really going to have to the The Time Traveler's Wife. I heard about it in another thread and everyone loved it so much __________________

I'm almost done reading all the books in the 'Southern Vampire Mysteries' By Charlaine Harris.(The New Show on HBO 'True Blood' is based on these books) I just need book #8, and then i would have read them all.. til the next one comes out.
I just started the Blood Books. (The Tv Show 'Blood Ties' was based on these books) |

How do you like the Southern Vampire Mysteries?
And I wanted to read the Blood series, too, because I watched and loved the show. I was so pissed when they cancelled the show  __________________

I really enjoy Jeanette Winterson's style of writing. It's beautifully detailed without being too heavy and instead of going for the same tired images she always comes up with something fresh. So far I've read Lighthousekeeping and Written on the Body by her.
I also really like the detached quality of Bret Easton Ellis' writing in American Psycho. There were a few sections that talked exclusively of minutiae about things like bands the narrator liked, etc. There was so much attention to pointless details like the business cards, the new sound systems, hygiene products (for men), etc. that really told us what sort of shallow man the narrator was like. Lunar Park had more heart and was equally as good. __________________

I haven't read either of those authors, but it's great to get some recommendations
 I saw about 5 minutes of American Psycho when it was on TV, and that was enough for me I have a major phobia of Christian Bale now __________________

One really great trilogy I've read lately is the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Has anybody read those?

no I haven't. What's it about? What kind of writing is it?
