What does everyone think about the Lauren Roberts situation?

Cloudydays146

@Ar1ana_xo I honestly am on the fence. Like, Lauren Roberts literally did say she spproves of AI and obviously I can't stand for that, but I still like her books. Like, I just won't buy any more of her novels if she publishes more.
          	  
          	  Powerless was so much better than Red Queen literally just because Mare was, like. . .actual cardboard. I don't know, I really could not get a read on her personality unlike Pae who had be entranced from page one.

@Maryamcchou Yesssss I agree! She took a lot of tropes and storylines from other books and made them into something else, and I’ve seen a lot of lines that she ‘copied’ but it’s always kinda the same that all authors use in ever book like ‘you’re my undoing’ or ‘you’ll be the death of me’.
          	  I also think she’s a really funny and cool person from what I’ve seen of her online.
          	  My only theoretical problem (because I wholeheartedly believe she did not plagiarise) is that she apparently admitted to using AI to write some lines? If that’s true she loses a lot of my support but I haven’t found any record of her saying that and I don’t wanna listen to rumours

@ImadotBookLover yeahhhh, I agree. Cause everyone says she copied from Red queen and while there’s lots of similarities, I read both series and hated Red Queen but loved Powerless. I felt like Red Queen was more political and Powerless was more romance based. There’s undeniably A LOT of inspiration taken from other books, but I would genuinely call it inspiration not copying

Hiii I really like the fanfic you wrote under my umbrella can u maybe add on to it or make a whole other fanfic about it because it’s really good

First of all omg thank you! Have my umbrella is lowk like one of my favourite oneshots I’ve ever written (defo my favourite for the shatter me fandom) so I’m really glad it’s getting appreciated lol it was one of those ones that just came naturally. But sadly I don’t rlly have any plans to continue it. I last read shatter me like 2 years ago and I’m not usually a re-reader but I think it might be my time soon. To continue it I’d have to like dive deeper into that AU and idrk what I would do with it, and I don’t really write full length stories anymore but I don’t actually have an objection to an extended part of that fic! I’ll keep it in mind and see if I do actually get to summer rereads!

My theory for The Mirror of Infinite endings is that they’re going to the vanished market or someplace. Stephanie posted a map on Instagram that looks like a market near the hollow but from the title we can gather there’s something about a mirror (obviously) a magic one, and I feel like they’re definitely returning to Valenda anyway because she released another quote saying ‘Jacks was not a fan of ringmasters’ COUGH COUGH LEGEND
          And spectacular hinted at a crossover!!!

@ImadotBookLover I KNOW LIKE WHAT DOES SHD MEAN ABOUT THEIR FATES

ImadotBookLover

@Ar1ana_xo OMG WAIT—that’s honestly a really good theory. I’m still scared about the fact that she said “their fates definitely did not change” or smt LIKE WHAY , but the market thing would be fire

I have the irresistible urge to write a full length novel

ImadotBookLover

@Ar1ana_xo yeah fr its so hard to finish a full length novel...cough cough my fourteen different story ideas I stopped after chapter two...But a distopian/fantasy book would be super cool to read :D

Ar1ana_xo

@ImadotBookLover If I wrote my own book it would be dystopian/fantasy I think. I have this idea in my head and characters already planned but that’s for another day lol. I would love to write my own book one day tho. But for now I meant I really wanna write like full length fanfics againnnnn, like proper stories. I have a draft from ages ago but I never got to finish it and I wouldn’t wanna publish it unless I know I can finish it because I know how annoying unfinished faves are

@TwiHard713 I'd love to when I get the chance but against my will I'm not really in the twilight fandom anymore tbh. I need to do a re read of the books at some point

I know I've said this before, but I'd really recommend my stories if you still like Twilight. The series is still in progress and the books are short, but I'd really appreciate it if you looked over them (avoid the silly conversations on each chapter between me and my friends lol)
