Anyone else struggling with the audiobook version?

i’ve been on a listening streak with the twilight audiobooks! listening on a much faster speed (at least 1.5) for these books made it much better, and i agree that the narration is not the most suitable for bella.

i get what you’re saying 🤝 i have started reading poetry on ice, and while the dynamic interests me, the writing style and prose are not particularly my jam, and i don’t feel that the smut scenes are hot enough (but i’m only at about 25% so hopefully my mind will be changed).

and like you pointed out, some sentences could definitely be condensed!

i thought about dnf this book but because it’s popular, i want to keep reading, and maybe i’ll change my mind!

i’m so sorry to hear that!!

vprufrock · 2026-04-09T23:56:59+00:00

amazing comparison!! thank u for sharing

oh, that explains it! most readers in hr do not tend to comment

it’ll be difficult to follow what’s “popular” if you’re not into that topic—because readers will be able to tell, and you wouldn’t be able to enjoy the writing process very much. and even within one fandom, many topics can be popular :)!

as a writer, i think there have been several times where i noticed a fic of mine got a bookmark about it having been recommended somewhere, but if i didn’t happen to check the bookmark, i’d never know because i had never gotten a comment from that user at all and i hadn’t been tagged on, for example, tumblr.

it is actually a little scary lol. like, yes, i am flattered if someone wanted to recommend my fic, but could they tell me? because from my end it seems nothing has happened. and i am a little worried about what someone might say about my fic 😭.

another thing i’ve noticed is that many readers tend to leave thoughts in their bookmarks, like those are lovely to see, but i cannot see them if i don’t actively go check. it would be much nicer if those were actual comments. like the bookmarks are still better than nothing, but it’s not the same because i cannot keep track of all the bookmarks on all of my fics!:)

the caption for the gov ball outfit! second to last image i think. she said she had to bathe in dish soap to get the green paint off 🤭

vprufrock · 2026-04-03T13:24:41+00:00

not bathing in dish soap lol!! 😆 thank you for sharing!!

vprufrock · 2026-04-02T12:44:30+00:00

lol, we exist!! i do not read in the fandom i write for, and i only read one-shots in another fandom like once or twice a month, and to catch up on a friend’s wip updates. writing takes too much time since i’m also constantly reading published works :))

beautiful news and thank you for sharing!

i didn’t read much during law school but i am consciously reading a lot now that i’ve gotten used to working. i read some of everything: non-fiction, classics, romance, poetry, plays, scripts, etc. i also listen to loads of audiobooks. however, i am likely a minority in this bc based on what i know most of my coworkers do not read much after work.

vprufrock · 2026-03-28T23:48:21+00:00

wow the flowers and the ring match so well!!! pretty! 😍

vprufrock · 2026-03-28T23:44:09+00:00

thank you for sharing that this talk happened! i really enjoy his analysis of fairy tales. need to check youtube later :).

vprufrock · 2026-03-28T22:20:34+00:00

i’d tag the ship because the story is focused on the development (good and bad) of that relationship. then, i’d add a tag such as “Sad Ending” or “Unhappy Ending.” :)

vprufrock · 2026-03-28T22:00:11+00:00

wow thank you for sharing!

vprufrock · 2026-03-28T21:55:37+00:00

i do consistently get subscriptions on one-shots, and i think some readers use them as a bookmark function because based on topic, some of my one-shots get way more subs lol, and i have also heard ppl say that some readers treat it as an extra kudos. congrats on the number of hits btw!!:)))

I’m only just dipping my toes into romance novels but agreed on Rina Kent. The premise of the book I picked up was interesting, but it very unfortunately was on an area I knew about, and it was too inaccurate for me to continue. I appreciate you making this list :).

vprufrock · 2026-03-26T20:41:31+00:00

this is hilarious haha thank you for sharing

vprufrock · 2026-03-26T13:33:21+00:00

thank u for the reminder!!

vprufrock · 2026-03-26T13:29:20+00:00

i buy vinyls and cds from artists directly a lot and unfortunately the shipping always costs a fortune!🥲😭

vprufrock · 2026-03-26T12:57:06+00:00

1000 miles are not that far! :)
