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!

I just wanted to start a campfire to spread my love <3 for a certain story..

"Inconceivable" By AccioBourbon.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5268283/1/Inconceivable

This story was recc'd to me by one of Accio's Betas(Lightstardusting!) after she saw me mention(on Twitter) the fact that I was struggling with infertility. I was so glad to see that someone had written a fic about a couple stuggling with IF that I immediately checked it out! And once I started reading I could not stop! I was so drawn in to this loving, emotional and realistic story of a couple (who happen to be Rosalie & Emmett) who were struggling with the physical and emotional turmoil that IF causes. I read some of my own thoughts and feelings being expressed within this story and it truly touched me to the core of my heart. There are also several LOL moments in each chapter with whitty movie and music references thrown in! :)

I would recommend this fic to anyone! More specifically, if you or anyone you know, have or are now struggling with infertility, this story really helps to understand the difficulties faced by couples in similar situations and gives you an inside look into the head and home of an infertile couple.

Also, I was amazed at how many members of the fandom have come forward and mentionend to me how they have also struggled with IF and who are trying to or have already conceived babies through IF treatment. Feel free to share your stories inside or PM/Tweet me if you want to chat :)

To make it more interactive...do you have any rec's for stories that you found you related to in RL? Or that you felt like the author was telling the story of your life?

Thank you so much to AccioBourbon for writing this story <3<3<3 and I cannot wait for an updated chapter!

Sigh...it's finished

Is up on FF and in the Forest.

If you've not given it a try - this is a gorgeous story about friendship and how we try to hang onto things, sometimes missing what's right in front of us.  My wingman, Theheartoflife, has a way with words, and this is a gorgeous story that might make you look differently at some of the characters you thought you knew.

No excuses now, it's all finished, give it a try, then come back here to discuss....

Hello Campers!

How are you today?  How was your weekend?

I worked all weekend--- which is a lot for me, and I am completely exhausted from it.  I plan to do nothing all day but read and write fic, listen to Bobby Long....and maybe drink a pot or two of coffee.

Are you ready for Halloween yet?  It's so weird, here where I live... Beggar's night is Thursday.  I don't know why they just can't do it on a weekend.

Share your costume ideas! 

Share your fun Halloween stories!

Some Halloween Facts for you~~

~Jack o’ Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.
~Halloween was brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes.
~Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America.
~The ancient Celts thought that spirits and ghosts roamed the countryside on Halloween night. They began wearing masks and costumes to avoid being recognized as human.
~It is believed that if you see a spider on Halloween, it is the spirit of a loved on watching over you.
~Growing big pumpkins is a big time hobby. Top prize money for the biggest giant pumpkin is as much as $25,000 dollars at fall festivals.
~There really are so-called vampire bats, but they're not from Transylvania. They live in Central and South America and feed on the blood of cattle, horses and birds.
~Halloween is the 2nd most commercially successful holiday, with Christmas being the first. People spend as much as over $2.5 billion during Halloween on candies, costumes, decorations and parties.
~Samhainophobia is an intense fear of Halloween.

Halloween is such a fun holiday and many people love it for many different reasons. 

Tell me why YOU love Halloween!

I know...I know... To some, these are the hard limit. The taboo.  No-man's Land.

Writing fics about the Real People associated with the Twilight Saga squicks some folks out.  I know!

But it is a viable category for our Master Fic List and has been REQUESTED and therefore I appeal to you now...

Which fics are the best ones out there in terms of Real Person stories?  I've seen banners about these stories and know that many of them feature Rob, Kristen, Jackson and Kellen in Oh So Steamy situations...!  

So do you read these kinds of stories?  Would you share them here around the fire?

I have never personally been able to read one and was shocked at myself when I wound up writing a drabblish one in response to a game here in the Forest one evening.  Shocking.  Still, I have nothing to contribute to this rec list.

I leave it to you!  Thank you for sharing your favorite RPFs around the fire!

Alright. I want answers, people. I've been reading fanfiction for a while now, and there's always that spark. The electricity. The most wonderful taste in the world, whether it be salvia or...other bodily fluids.

Does this exist in real life? Do you actually have a bunch of fireworks go off when you kiss the person you're with? Do their bodily fluids taste magically delicious?

'Cause I just think it's absolutely ridiculous.

(I only date boys that have a last name that sounds good with my first name, lolol. Horrible way to pick out guys, but I just want my name to sound as good as it does now. XD)

I'm bored and in the mood for writing. I need a good contest to get the old and rusty imagination drive going. I'm up for anything. Hit me.

I just finished UoEM and 2 epilogues.   Is that it?  Is there anymore or can I write it off as complete?   I love love loved the story!!     It's one I'll read again and again.  

Now this may surprise many of you who have grown used to my very obvious affection for the Young Mr. Rathbone, but I do in fact have a deep and unrelenting,passionate crush on another member of the Twi-World....and no, its not young Robert. 

Its this man- 

Now, I actually prefer him looking like this;

But  he also looks pretty damn good like this: Lucian from the Underworld Series

Or even this:

He really does play soccer and participates in "Soccer Aide" a British Charity fund raiser.

He is a brilliant actor,and a genuinely funny person,(his spots on the Craig Ferguson Show are killer),and he even Tweets!

So I remember reading a Twilight fanfiction forever ago, and it had the quote:

"You love him and that's what grants him the power to hurt you so badly."

I can not remember if that's the entirety of the quote. Either way. Anyone know the entire quote or what fic it is from?

OMG, I am a nerd...I've been kicking around this fire idea for months, but never had the right verbage.  I still don't, but I'm tired of kicking it around and not doing anything, so here goes...

I've been listening to "top 40" (that was lame too, right?!) music for a few months now.  My musical tastes vary quite a bit, and currently, I'm down with the dance music!  lol  Anyway, I've been listening for a while now, and every now and then, a song comes on that I'd love know what Ed and Bells would do with it.  Like a oneshot or something. 

So here's the question:  What songs make you think of the twi peeps we like to spend so much time with?  And if you were writing a o/s what would it be about?  Mine will be in the comments

Also, I would love love love to read some oneshots like this, so how does one go about creating/hosting a o/s contest?  Does one already exist?  Am I able to do it, or does someone much bigger than me in the FF world need to do it?  Are there prizes, like $$ or just the prestiege (haha) of being a winner in such a contest?  IDK, someone help a huuuuge loser out!  :)

AND FOR MY LADIES below, and your time:

Good lord!  It took me a million years to find a copy of this pic that I could attach here!  XD

Chapter 28 is up!

Does anyone watch this show on MTV?

The premise of the show is "What do you want to do before you die." There are four 20 something guys who attempt to complete a list of 100 things they want to do before hey die and for every one thing they cross off their list, they help a stranger fulfill one of their dreams.

Well on tomorrows episode they are gonna attempt to get a lock of our beloved RPattz hair. It seems from the sneak peek that they are gonna try and ask him for it and not just ambush him and cut it off.

It airs Monday 1030 p / 930 p central

Okay. I may be incredibly out of it but I am incredibly confused. I just wanted to get one thing straight.

Are Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart together or not?

I mean, I haven´t been following the gossip on these two but I saw in a people magazine the other day that they were indeed together. I am so confused. The other day they are not together and the next day they are. So campers, please end my confusion. Is it true or is it just yet another gossip???

Pretty pictures for your time (and joy)!!!!

it seems like a light weekend in the forest, so let's have it

ask me anything

stuff you've always wondered about me

preferred methods of .... whatever

questions about the forest

verification of rumors you've heard, whatever

i'll answer them all

Anyone?  Anyone?

So far, I'm only up to chapter 7.  and I pretty much just want to kick Nora in the crotch.

Discuss?

(The lovely Jandco let me strike the match on this one.)

Twilight goes Ivy League-ish? VERITAS!

Hey Forester's! I read a great article yesterday, apparently The Harvard University Extension School is offering a class on The Vampire in Literature and Film. It's taught by Sue Weaver Schopf who is the associate dean of the Master's of Liberal Arts program at the school and apparently a fan of Twilight.

The Boston Globe ran an article on Saturday, read it HERE then come on in and leave a comment
