I was just thinking about how Rpattz said in an couple interviews that he wanted to be a rapper at one time. He even went as far as making a couple of homemade tape recordings. Just trying to imagine that is cute, endearing and Hella funny all at once.

Anywho... does anyone know of any fics where Edward be spittin' tha rhymes yo!

^^^ failed attempt at being gangsta, do they talk like that?

In other words, rec the rapperwards please?? ;p

Can somebody help me please!  Now that I've started the search for this fic it's driving me crazy!

So I was reading a fic tonight and I got to thinking about another fic with this same theme. There seem to be a lot of these now a days, but I was reading this one and never favored it, and now I'm curious to see what exactly happened.

Here's what I remember about the fic:

Edward and Bella are dating and he and Alice go to Europe. I believe that it's for just the summer for some type of music school or something but Carlisle gets an offer and so it's going to be longer than just the summer. Bella and Edward continue their relationship long distance when things start to get complicated. Bella finds out she's pregnant, and Edward goes to a party, gets drunk and makes out (at least) with Tanya. Back home Bella is trying to figure out how to tell Edward, but they can't seem to connect on the phone. In Europe Edward is beyond mad at himself and somehow Alice knows what happened with Tanya. The last thing I remember is that Alice and Edward are going to have a talk.

I know this is a typical story line, but hopefully the Europe aspect is enough to set it apart from other fics?

Thanks in advance for the help!
Kari :) 

I seen a fic and I can't remember who wrote it or the name. I just took a glance at it so I don't really know what it was about. I do know that Edward was a vamp and that he was putting small amounts of venom into Bella without her knowledge. I think it was some kind of game or something cause James and Victoria realized what he was doing. I'm guessing they were friends. Does this sound familar to anyone?

When we did this campfire last month it got a good response, so since I'm a bit unoriginal when it comes to starting new threads (we all know that 90% of mine are Rob-oriented, no shame in my game) I thought we could do another one.

This one strictly for those hidden gems, secret treasure, little-known fics that don't get 50, 100, 200 reviews per chapter. We're all familiar with the flavors of the week. We see the names tossed around in various campfires, on Twitter, and in author's notes. However, with over 160,000 Twi-fics on FF.net alone, it's hard for the average story to get picked up and noticed. So in this campfire, give us your recs for those under-the-radar fics. Let's go with stories that have at least 4 chapters if they are a WIP (completed fics can be less than 4 chaps, that's fine), have updated in the last 4 weeks or so, and average LESS THAN 25 reviews per chapter.

Please give us the title, summary, and link if you would be so kind :-)

My last request is that if you choose to read any of these recommended fics, PLEASE show the author some love and respect and leave them a review- or even better, reviewS- as you go along.

Xander: "I resent that! Or possibly thank you."

tomorrow is a double-header, and for those of you who've already seen them (whether ye be cheats n scallywags who forged ahead without the rest of us or ye be original followers of the slayer), you know that this is THE game-changer of the entire series.  for those of you who are new, all i can say is... don't miss this.

and in case you need an incentive to watch, tomorrow's eps are where we got this marvelous gif from (gracias, patsyrobinson):

I was recently giving a story a second chance -- I had tried it once before but got annoyed by some little pet peeves and clicked that red X -- and it occurred to me that without a specific person's recommendation, I wouldn't have stuck with it.  The story was pretty good; it definitely hit its stride long after I had given up on it the first time.

Anyhow, this got me thinking about the power of a personal recommendation, how great it is to find someone whose fic tastes are similar to your own, or maybe even someone who understands what you like and what you don't like enough to send tailor-made rec's your way.  So here's my question for you:

Who Do You Trust? 

Share with us their name (could be a friend, or it could just be an author who includes fic rec's at the end of their chapters), a story they recommended that turned out to be total win, and then link us to their Favorites page on Fanfiction.net. 

One of my trusted recommenders will be in the comments. Blessings!

Since I lurk in the forest a lot and this seems to be rare in the Twilight fandom, I figured I'd start a fic prompt post. 

Here's the deal, post an image or a phrase and whoever responds has to write a drabble (100 words give or take).  Your response can be canon or non-canon pairings, vamp or humans.  Be creative.  Maybe keep the rating to a heavy T so that everyone can participate.

Go!

Brought to you by the letters S and O and by the number 54, this suggested category is one that will REQUIRE MAINTENANCE if y'all decide you like it.  I'll link it, of course, on the MASTER FIC LIST but you might want to favorite this one on its own, too.  

You know, in case you want to keep a NEW FIC thing going. :) (OR, if a Camper here at ADF wants to keep a running list of new fics, we can maybe just post something once in a while.  A Different Forest is all about user-generated content!)

I realize this will be a mixed-batch, pot pourri kind of campfire, but I bet y'all have found SOMETHING new and noteworthy to read and rec that has been started in September or October! So go check your Alert lists, your Favorites lists, or maybe even the Sneak Peek campfire Kalejay does for us every week. ;-)

What new fics do you find rec-worthy? Share them! Mine will be within. :)

Thank you for sharing your favorites around the fire!

Jesse, Robert, Dakota, Michael, Taylor, Ryan, Nikki, Eddie, Garrett, Sam, Tom, (man writing that at the end there feels so good because it's true and awesome and beautifullll), and errr other people... help me, guys...

Kristen has had a lot of handsome and beautiful co-stars. Sometimes we like to ship her with these co-stars-- dakotastew and jessestew, anyone? Sometimes she's actually dating them, and they visit her on the sets of other projects she's working on, or she hangs out with them, and we get great pics and stare and comment and have lots of fun. So today I'm asking you guys: who's your favorite? Her adorable boyfriend? Her ex? The multitalented Nikki Reed? The handsome young Garrett? Or, idk, her good friend Tom?

Spam me with pics from the movies, from events or interviews, from a nice evening out, whatever. Some of the Adventureland interviews are just so precious, and you know you love the clip of her giggling with Dakota. Play nice. If you don't like any of these people, just spam me with Kristen.

Also, how CUTE was she on The Tonight Show?! And she's going to be on LIVE! with Regis & Kelly next week!

IS THERE A FIREWARD IN THE HOUSE?

SPORTSWARD?

CHEFWARD?

VAMPWARD?

COPWARD?

DADWARD?

BADWARD?

DARKWARD?

Probably... What I'm wondering is this: What are your favorite characteristics? SWEET, NICE, SENSITIVE? THEN THERE'S ARROGANT, CHAUVINIST, BAD TEMPER, HOT? 

THERE'S A LOT REALLY! SO LET ME KNOW WHAT KIND OF EDWARD YOU LIKE IN A STORY!

I just saw this in my inbox!

"(There are two epilogues remaining that will post back-to-back when they are completed. This is the last regular chapter.)"

I must admit to not having read anything from about Chapter 70, onward.  I was too schitzo about this story to stand the suspense.  Now, Chapter 79 is posted.

Edit:  I noticed that there was a suggestion that I mention there are SPOILERS within this thread.  
 

Drop everything and go read...J and J have updated again!

Give us a little peek!

Post excerpts from your upcoming chapters here!

~ Don't forget to include a link to your story! ~

The dangerous guys are exciting, yeah...

But really, the one a lot of girls would rather hang on to is the NICE guy.  The one they trust, who behaves honorably and doesn't mess with their heads or disregard their feelings. 

So today, I'm looking for a compilation of NICEWARD fics.  The boy/man you want to bring home to meet the folks. The Edward who is just a darling and someone you can trust without reservation.  Because he's a great guy.

I know one right off the top of my little head and will rec him in just a sec within the fire.  Which stories contain the best Nicewards for you?

Thank you for sharing your favorite Niceward fics around the fire!

P.S. Remember, there are now 53 categories of fics on the MASTER FIC LIST!  If you or someone you know is looking for a particular kind of fic, chances are VERY GOOD we've got a list just for that wish!

Hello Campers!

Lababykarla and I wanted to give one last opportunity for campers who were interested in joining us in the horror movie watchalong. We want anyone and everyone to join in on the fun, and it should also be a great way for everyone to meet new people and bond!

We received a lot of feedback from Friday night's campfire but we are still looking for people who wish to join us, so this campfire is a meeting of sorts to discuss where we should do this (twitter, gchat, ADF)? What movies would you guys would like to watch (please feel free to recommend any horror movies so we can add it to the list)? If we should do it more than once a week and what days should we do it? Also, stating any time discrepancies would help in deciding when we should do this thing....

Feel free to PM lababykarla or I your email address so we can email you more dets later on!

DON'T BE AFRAID! :)

She looks pretty adorable here.  Aw, look:  handsies.
