Is anyone here reading this story?  Anyone know what's happened to it?  She hasn't updated in a long time and I keep thinking about it all the time. 

If anyone knows anything about it, I"d love to hear it!

Does anyone know if there is a Twi story based on the TV series My So Called Life and if not does anyone care to write one pretty please?

The last chapter of "Raw and Rosy" is up!! Run, Read, Come here and cry. 

 

Hey yall, I need a serious pick me up. today I found out that we will be losing our home probably within the next 6 months, i've lived here for 18+ years and I know its a material thing but it really sucks and I'd just like some recs for a great story that you've read that just makes you smile or even a good suggestion of a tv series because i need to think about something other than real life. I just finished the Roswell series and despite how much I enjoyed it there wasn't enough max and liz....any recs would do.  but I mainly enjoy love stories/series. 

If at all possible you could send me Robert it would really help.

Hey guys - I've got a long, dreary night ahead of me....kids will soon be in bed, hubby is going to his friends to watch UFC (or as I like to call it "cuddle-fighting") and I need to pass this night away....

 

So, anyone care to share their biggest pet peeves and pet please when it comes to FanFic?  It can be in regards to anything - what you love/hate about lemons (my favorite, but I'm a perv), character traits you love/hate...whatever.  And post why you think so, cause that'll just be more fun.

 

And to keep it civil, I thought I'd throw this out there:  "one mans trash is another mans treasure"....how bout we turn that into "ones mans peeve is another mans pleasure" and agree to potentially disagree. 

Any takers?  I'll post mine in a comment once I give it a little more thought!!

 

OMG campers! Welcome to the second editon of our horror watchalongs!

 

Today's presentation is brought to you by that really creepy kid named Damien.

 

Yep, that's right. We're doing a double feature this week. We want to compare and contrast the original and remake of The Omen.

 

I'll be hosting the watchalong on gchat and msn messenger from 7 PM Eastern time (which is about 30 minutes from now) and the first movie should be over around 9-ish. And then around this time, we will start the remake.

Hopefully you'll be able to join in on one or both of the movies this week!

 

*You can PM us your email to make sure you join us in the conversations, or to ask for links!

However if you choose to do neither, you can still comment here on the campfire.

(Look in the comments for megavideo link!)

Hola chicos!

I'm sick and a TOTAL pansy when I'm sick. Biggest baby you can imagine. And I don't watch like any TV or movies, so my knowledge is really limited, but today I want to spend it watching movies.

And I really want some extra cheesy romance movies. The stuff that is just TOO perfect . .. the guy is swoon and does grand gestures. Old is good. Maybe even some prince/princess stuff. Sorta like Disney movies but not animation.

So what's your favorite old school romance flicks or any good romance recs? Thanks guys!

Well once again it seems I have found myself drunk and tweeting. I should not be allowed todo it really,I must tell my daughter to ban me from getting on the internet after drinking,really.

Anyhoo to make this post interactive tell me what sort of drunk you is??

I am a very neeedy drunk, I tweet my love for all my favs and really embarrass myself to my fav @ward.

I will also put some othe sh#t in the comments of what I have been wanting to post for a while anyway

APPROVED BY THE VERY NICE AND NOT SCAREY WTVOC! thanks bb

So, a couple of days ago I posted a lament about how I was getting bored with Twilight and was sad that the fandom was slowing down.  Many of you shared some very thoughtful posts with us.  Can I just say that I love the Forest and the forest-dwellers? I love the camaraderie we share here, and all the little things we share that AREN'T Twilight related.  And the recs!  I will readily admit that it's been months since I've bothered to start a fic that wasn't rec'd here at the Forest.

So, anyway, someone recently rec'd "Long Way Down" by forthelongestday.  And I fell in love with the story and had an epiphany. I'm not bored with Twilight .... I'm bored with Edward.  There, I said it.  And I didn't even think that was a possibility.  I have steadfastly refused to read anything with non-canon couples since I joined the fandom (with one exception, which I'll list below).  In fact, I have fallen so in love with this story that I find myself wishing this is how New Moon and Eclipse would have gone, thus wiping out the tragedy that is BD altogether.  This fic addresses those niggling doubts I had about Edward for leaving Bella and for the way he always deceived her and made her decisions for her.  Doubt that I ignored or shoved away because I was so besotted with him for so long.  Mind you, I reserve the right to fall right back in love and out of boredom with him should the opportunity present itself!  But, for now, this fic has kind of opened up an entirely new world of Twilight for me.  It's so well written and just an amazingly good read.

So, what I want to know is, do you read fics with non-canon pairings or do they just not interest you at all?  If you didn't, but then made the leap, what fic popped your non-canon cherry?  What are your favorite non-canon couple fics and what do you love about them?

I popped my non-canon couple cherry with Chicklette's "Get Me To You." I read it about three months ago and it was the first time I realized that there might be a big, wide world out there that didn't center around E/B.

 

I've been reading Remember Me by isakassees and listening to the inner musing of pre-hormonal Edward.  He's thirteen when he has "the talk" with his dad.  My oldest son is nine, going on ten and I shudder at the idea that his time is coming soon.  So my question is, how old were you when you had "the talk"?  How did it go?

 

For any experienced moms/dads out there, when did you have that talk with your boys?

PS. A guys POV on this would be most welcomed!

 

It's been a while since I've seen a recipe swap campfire (but then again I've not been around a lot so I may have missed it) so I thought to mysels "Wonks, it' time to post a recipe or two" - yeah, I have epic thoughts like that every single day.

 

So how about we have a

Anyone else watch this show? I still struggle to thread a needle and sew on a button or rip so watching people make wearable clothes out of Party City supplies and stuff from the grocery store is fascinating. Workroom drama is funny too but I love watching the clothes come to life. Heidi, Tim Gunn, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia anyone? This season has been all over the place so come vent and share with me!
