I have a question regarding the fics written by Oohlalaaa.Up until recently I thought she only didn't finish the last two fics she had pulled "Bloodlines" and "Time and Again",but I just read "While we drifted we were one" by her and either my copy is incomplete-I got it from someone- or it wasn't completed.So if it was completed it would be nice if anybody could tell me the end,I've read it up intil chapter 14,if it wasn't completed I I like to have a confirmation.

I am anxious to start High Anxiety....

You ask why, it's because of the high word count. 528,596 Words to be exact...

You see, I've been burned before, way too many time to count by loooooooooong fics, they all start on a high note to end up flat and disappointing around Chapter +50

So, I need some encouragement, tell me I should start reading it. Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So, I've seen Twilight tattoos all over the place...but I was just on CNN and I must say, this is a first:

An Edward Cullen quote on a guy in the military? WOW. Does this make him a unicorn? What's the craziest display of Twilight Fandemonium you've ever seen?

*Note...just because he has an Edward Cullen quote tattooed on his back, I shouldn't automatically assume he's a Twilight fan...but it is curious.

**Edit: Sorry about the pic, not sure why the link broke.

Not the shy kid or the geek, but the OUTCAST. The one who is perceived to be beyond the pale.  The person who is or has done or is BELIEVED to be someone who merits the kind of ostracism some of us know only too well.

In fan fiction, hope springs eternal for these characters.  Where do you find it?

Perhaps it's Bella...or Edward...or maybe Jasper (a favorite problem child)?

I have one on the tip of my tongue that I will share within.  

Thank YOU for sharing your favorite OUTCAST fics around the fire!

Remember the MASTER FIC LIST for all your fanficking needs!

i wanna talk about wedding related stuff

so a friend of mine is getting married on a boat, and since my husband doesn't think it's appropriate to make a mix tape featuring the andy samberg song and other slow jamz, i need to buy a gift.

the thing is this- i don't like either store she's registered at.  i wanna ~go rogue~ with the gift.

here's my question:

is it considered a breach of etiquette these days to buy something off the registry?  are people cool with this?

and more importantly, do you have any good suggestions on what i should buy that won't put me in the poor house?

anyway, let's discuss the institution of marriage in general.  did you have a ~shotgun wedding~ like i did?  you ever been on a boat for a wedding?  (that's what i'm doing to for this one- a cruise through the harbor.  how cool is that?)  how great is an open bar reception?  let's just talk about gettin' hitched.  your plans, your ideal dress, etc.

the HBIC bride fyt:

Fully charged computer?  Check.  Comfy spot to write?  Check.  Mr. Darcy mug filled with Earl Grey tea?  Check. Cinnamon sugar kettle corn? Check and check.  <----These are my key elements to be fully prepared to sit down and bust out a chapter of my fic.  If I'm not all settled in, chances are I won't get a whole lot pounded out in terms of word count. 

What I want to know is... what are your pre-writing rituals?  Do write in any particular spot?  When do you tend to do your best writing?  We writers can be a finicky bunch and I'm just curious about other people's writing quirks (and I might be procrastinating a little).

I don't even know what to say right now really...I'm still in complete shock.

I just found out that someone i graduated with was killed tonight, he was only 21... he was the one guy that would be friends with EVERYONE. The things I'm hearing don't even make sense but there is nothing else to go on.

so please... can you give me something to try and get my mind off of this? i was all ready to go to bed before i found out and now i can't sleep =(

Also if there is anything that you want to vent about please share!

Thank You G.A.W. for approving this!

Hi.

It's me.

I need amusement.

Come inside and ask me things.

This is your chance to KNOW STUFF that I know.

Tempting, right?

UPDATE!! Chapter 11

SPOILERS INSIDE

So my day started out with terrifying pictures of full-back Twilight tattoos and now this:

NY Daily News

Mystery shiny objects floating over Manhattan spark UFO frenzy

A mysterious shiny object floating high over Manhattan's West Side set off a flurry of reports and wild speculation Wednesday that a UFO was flying over the city.

Police and the FAA said they began getting flooded with calls starting at 1:30 p.m. from people reporting a silvery object hovering high over Chelsea.

Law enforcement sources said they believed the object was likely some sort of balloon, but as of late Wednesday they had not confirmed exactly what it is.

A Daily News reporter could see a tiny, silver dot floating approximately 5,000 feet above 23th St. and Eighth Ave., where dozens of people gathered late in the afternoon to catch a glimpse.

"It's been hovering there for a while. I'm just kind of baffled," said Joseph Torres, 49, of Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, who spotted the object after leaving a movie. "How can it be ordinary? There is something going on."

Despite clear skies, it was not easy to make out the tiny object shimmering overhead.

"You really have to look up to see it," said one witness, who gave only his first name, Rico. "It's a little crazy. I guess that's why they call it an unidentified flying object because they don't know what it is."

Not long after the first sightings, messages began appearing on Twitter linking to a month-old press release announcing the publication of a book by a retired NORAD officer predicting that UFOs would buzz the earth's major cities on Oct. 13.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it received several calls to its operations center but after reviewing radar data, the agency could not find anything out of the ordinary.

"We re-ran radar to see if there was anything there that we can't account for but there is nothing in the area," said spokesman Jim Peters. "There was some helicopter traffic over the river at that time and we checked with LaGuardia Tower. And they said they had nothing going low at that time."

"Nothing that we can account for would prompt this kind of response," he said.

Peters said if it was a weather balloon or any kind of organized balloon release, authorities should have been notified in advance. Police officials said they had received no notification

LET'S DISCUSS PARANORMAL BELIEFS/EXPERIENCES OR JUST WEIRD/UNUSUAL THINGS THAT WE HAVE SEEN!

attention.  the following buffy double header will gut you.

this is the game-changer, the paradigm shift.  after these episodes, one of the major story arcs for angel, buffy, and even spike will be set into motion.  this storyline arcs over the entire series and goes on into angel, the comic books, and is basically the beautitful tragedy that is buffy the vampire slayer's life.

episode 2.11: "surprise"

Angel: Shhh. I...
Buffy: You what?
Angel: I love you. I try not to, but I can't stop.
Buffy: Me, me, too. I can't either.

aaaaaand i'm dying all over again.  my god, why is it always way worse after you've already seen it once (or in my case, about 15 times)?

episode 2.12: "innocence"

Spike, my boy, you really don't get it! Do you? You tried to kill her, but you couldn't. Look at you. You're a wreck! She's stronger than any Slayer you've ever faced. Force won't get it done. You gotta work from the inside. To kill this girl... you have to love her.

I guess that the Twilight news cycle is about to ramp up again.  The only name I recognize is Lee Pace as Garrett and I kind of adore him, so that's good.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN — Casting Update
by The Twilight Saga on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at 2:33pm

Summit Entertainment announced today the following have been cast in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN for roles in The Amazon Coven, The Egyptian Coven, The Irish Coven and The Romanian Coven as well as the American and European Nomads as outlined below.

THE AMAZON COVEN

* Senna – Tracey Heggins
* Zafrina – Judi Shekoni

Among the oldest vampires in the world, Senna and Zafrina are descendants of an ancient Amazonian tribe. They have lived outside of civilization for centuries and therefore make no attempt to keep up a human facade. Though they drink human blood, the Amazons have long been allies of Carlisle.

THE EGYPTIAN COVEN

* Amun – Omar Metwally
* Kebi – Andrea Gabriel
* Benjamin – Rami Malek
* Tia – Angela Sarafyan

The Egyptian Coven consists of Amun, Kebi, Benjamin, and Tia, with Amun as the leader. It is stated that even though they are not a biological family, they could pass for one. Amun is extremely protective of his family and fearful of Aro.

THE IRISH COVEN

* Maggie – Marlane Barnes
* Siobhan – Lisa Howard
* Liam – Patrick Brennan

The Irish Coven, a relatively young group, was founded by Siobhan and Liam, but Maggie’s talent made her an important element of it. They are not vegetarian but they are civilized.

THE ROMANIAN COVEN

* Vladimir – Noel Fisher
* Stefan – Guri Weinberg

The Romanian Coven is one of the oldest covens in the world and they were the ruling vampire family until they were unseated by the Volturi. For that reason they harbor a centuries old resentment of the Italian coven.

THE AMERICAN NOMADS

* Garrett – Lee Pace
* Mary – Toni Trucks
* Randall – Bill Tangradi
* Peter – Erik Odom
* Charlotte – Valorie Curry

Turned during the Revolutionary War, Garrett has chosen to live a nomadic existence, wandering the world on his own. Garrett has never lost the rebellious spirit of his human life, and loves a good fight, always rooting for the underdog. Though not a vegetarian, Garrett is among Carlisle’s closest and oldest friends.

Mary and Randall are American nomadic vampires.

Peter and Charlotte are nomadic vampires and mates. They were created during the aftermath of the Southern Vampire Wars, in which Jasper was a key player. They have remained friends with Jasper ever since.

THE EUROPEAN NOMADS

* Alistair – Joe Anderson

A nomadic vampire from England, Alistair has a misanthropic, brooding personality and a deep mistrust of all authority. Although he counts Carlisle as his closest acquaintance, he doesn’t visit more than once a century.
