Happy Wednesday morning, forest! Let's play a little game. 

We're always looking to see which stories are on the "most reviews evar!!" list, so how about we do the opposite? I want to find the stories with the fewest number of reviews out there, so come post your own story or a story you follow that has a really, really low review count. Be sure to include the story name, review count and chapter numbers, so we can judge fairly (a 40 chapter story with ten reviews is way more epically obscure than a 5 chapter WIP with nine, for example). Let's try to compile a list of the top ten or so.

Winner gets...a lot of encouragement from the rest of the forest (yay!), and maybe even some new readers, too.

Have at it!

OK I am in this B and E parents stage. And I read one fic along time ago and can't remember the name. Bella had Edwards little girl and he didn't know about her. Then when the daughter starts school Bella finds out that Alice is her kindergarden teacher. All I really remember is that Bella has another friend from college who has a daughter and is best friends with B's daughter. When Alice shows up at B's place to talk to her she slaps her in the face and then talk things out. Alice tells her she has to tell Edward by the end of the week or she does.

Does this sound familar to anyone?

Ok, everyone, I'm bored and in a strange mood.  So, why not do TMI?  Ok, no holds barred on this one.  Give me any tmi you got on any topic!

Be forewarned!  Enter this campfire at your own risk.  If you are easily offended or squicked out, you may want to pass right on by. 

This campfire approved by the lovely and talented GAW. :)

Check it out, even RPattz likes tmi...

THIS POST IS STICKIED, I DON'T CARE.  THIS IS THE BEST THAT BUFFY HAS TO OFFER, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.  IN TWO PARTS, WTVOC AND A DIFFERENT FOREST PRESENTS TO YOU: BECOMING PARTS 1&2.

even if you don't watch buffy, i challenge you to watch part 2 and not get a little teary-eyed.  you don't need to be filled in on details, you don't need a backstory.  you can watch this excellent example of writing, angst, heartache, comedy, fear, what-have-you, and be entertained for 45 minutes.  go on.  do it.

becoming part 1:

Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.

becoming part 2 (sob sob sob sob sob sob sobbbbbbb have your kleenex handy):

No, it doesn't stop. It never stops. Do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is? How dangerous? I would love to be upstairs watching TV or gossiping about boys or, god, even studying! But I have to save the world. Again.

even if you've seen it, come in here and comment as you watch along.  

I'm hoping that someone can PLEASE help me.  I love A Matter of Convenience by Spotzle.  The problem is that she had to discontinue writing the fic a while back and she pulled it.  She had posted on her profile that she would send out what had already been written to whomever wanted it as well as a run down of what would have happened in the rest of the story.  Well, I didn't see that till quite a while after it was pulled and I did write her but got no response. 

Anyway, I've since been able to get a copy of what had already been written but I'm wondering if anyone out there was able to get the summary of the rest of the story.  I would love to know what happens!

I wasn't going to start a KStew Tuesday Campfire today, but the lovely AnastasiaBeaverhausen/SuperKannen told me she missed them, and it's her birthday! It's also Hillary Clinton's birthday, and I love Hillary. So, this campfire is for all of the strong, intelligent, awesome women everywhere. And of course, the topic is something totally random...

SUNGLASSES

.

I love Kristen's shades. Don't you? Share your favorite pics. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY AB!

What happened to Rob's music? He had 2 songs in Twilight ("Never Think" and "Let Me Sign" which is amazing) and since I've heard nothing about him singing or recording any more music. Is it that he's too busy, or doesn't want to do it anymore? Or is it that I just missed it completely? Is he a multiplatinum recording star and I just don't know about it?

While you're here, tell me that name of another actor/actress/other celebrity with a good voice that maybe the rest of us haven't heard about. Any information you have that will add to my iTunes library makes me very happy :)

P.S. Links to mp3s (of course totally legal, licensed ones) would be greatly appreciated.

FYT:

Pears13 has pulled all her stories on FFic and Twilighted. I know she said she was taking time for her own writing but does anyone know why she took down her stories, or if she'll be back?

So I'm really late for this, but that's the story of my life. *shrug*

Anyway I recently discovered the awesomeness of For the Summer . I love it and would recommend everyone to read it.

I was wondering if anyone when how I could get my hands on the FGB outtake? 

I obviously didn't buy it in June since I didn't really know about the story then.

I asked the author but she hasn't replied. I'd be happy to donate more to FGB.

Help please!

Some pretty for your time

Updated!!!!

Read and discuss

Yes. This.

I believe the ORIGINAL request in the Master Fic List campfire was for Bella as teacher and Edward as student....

But...!

I am thinking for this list, I want to open it up!  All Teacher/Student Fic stories.  All ratings, all pairings, AH or AU.  This is another of those "taboo" types of stories, but I know I've read a few...

My recs will be within.

Thank you for sharing your favorite Teacher/Student fics around the fire!  

Okay.  Choose your own Belladventure Time!  YAY!

throughout the saga, bella's reactions and decisions often made me say "No, girl, don't do that!"  or "Get up out those leaves and sticks and go chase that vampire and threaten him if he tries to leave again!"

So.

If you were Bella, what would YOU have done differently in the saga?

How would you have stopped Edward from leaving in New Moon?

How would you have gotten farther than a freaking leg hitch in Eclipse? (i don't even think that's past first base.  srsly.)

Pick any instance you choose and tell me how you would've done it differently.  Please, feel free to replace her dialogue with yours.

Authors: do you have a specific reason as to where you set your stories or do you just chose a place and write. Seattle, Forks, Port Angeles, Jacksonville, where you live so it's easier and you want the characters in your hometown, etc. How do you choose?

Readers: do you have a specific place where you like stories set or you just read and go? Do you research your choose city or just keep it ambiguous?

I'm always curious because when I did read AU it was rare to find the vampires outside of Forks. Surely there are other vegetarians vampires in the US. Even the Cullens lived in Rochester and Ithaca for a time but it's always vampires either in Forks or Volterra. The Denali coven is in Alaska but fics are never really set there. Also, VERY few fics seem to be set in Florida or Phoenix despite Bella having lived in one and her mother being in another.

Great. This is just what my reputation needs: that I did it with the entire swim team.

this episode brought to you by the hotness that is wentworth miller

tomorrow is the heart-crushing double header "becoming" parts 1 &2

be here around 3pm PDT in order to get your heart stomped, tattooed, hanged, and then broken.

I want ANGST, ANGST, ANGST

Anybody go some angsty fics that are flying under the radar?

I prefer canon couples and haven't read a good Jacob/Nessie fic, like, ever (I know we have Nessie haters, but I think the relationship has interesting possibilities). 

Oh, and please know that I enjoy Mature ::cough:: smut ::cough:: stories

Has anyone else noticed an increase in male writers? What do you think? What are you thoughts?

SebastienRobichaud

johnnyboy7

cullcati  - has story Smooth Operator on FF. His first. Seriously funny. EPOV Rec'd by KiyaRaven

Who better to write the male POV than a male?

Know of any others? Post it!  Let us know!

so, I read fics all the time in which Edward is the most romantic dude on the planet.

so tell me SOME OF THE ROMANTIC THINGS PEOPLE HAVE DONE FOR YOU IRL.  SOME ROMANTIC THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE FOR YOUR FRIENDS.  SOME ROMANTIC THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

doesnt have to be over-the-top.  sometimes, the simplest are the cutest and the most touching.  but, basically, share your 'aww' moments!!!!

(mine will be inside)

come join and share please, so I don't look like an absolute idiot!

Do you write fan fiction?

Post excerpts from your upcoming chapters here!

Don't forget to include a link!

Hi All! Happy Monday.....  :(  lol

I just recently read a story I had saved, "Expectations of Success" and fell in love. I know I am late to the party with Lasmke's stories, and I do beleive that she is unfortunately no longer with us.

On her profile page, there is a note saying it was allright for fans to share her stories amongst ourselves, but to please not put any up on public sites.

I also have  "Small Town Gossip", but i'm wondering if there are any other multi-chap stories anyone out there might have that they would share?

Thank you!
