I'm a 90% AH reader of Twilight fanfiction. Partly it's because I find AU fics to be generally very close to the original, boring, redundant, even the New Moon ones which seem to be able to stray more from S. Meyer's story. When I like a AU story it's because even if the characters are vampires ( Bella is usually a vampire or half-vampire), the stories are utterly original like 'KISS ME, KILL YOU' by BloodsuckingLeech or 'The Bitter Sweetness of an Ocean Soul' by LimitedBannerMaker. Thus being said, I feel like reading some AU stories now but I don't find some original ones like the ones I like. Can you please recommend some?

Hello again, everyone!

I was just wondering. I have pretty good grammarz. Maybe not enough free time, but it can't hurt to ask:

What are the qualifications one needs to have to become a beta? 

How much contact do the author and their beta have to maintain?

Thanks!

didn't see any campfires about this, so I'm starting one.

Edward Wallbanger by feathersmmmm (idk how many m's there are..?)  just updated.

-spoliers and my thoughts inside-

Stephenie's being threatening promising to provide us with an Official Guide to the saga for a while, and now it's finally here! (nearly)

From EW.com:

The bad news: It’s not another sequel.

The good news: There will be plenty of brand-new details in The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide, a reference book Stephenie Meyer created to accompany her best-selling novels. (more)

Thoughts?  Who's excited?

(Personally, I probably won't buy it as I enjoy seeing the plotholes filled in by fics or even filling them in myself).

I'm BACK! I wasn't missed I know -  the new comers dont know who I am.
Hi Im Shannon. But that's not important; 
So littlestar300 posted a very interesting campfire below
on fantasies and fetishes

http://www.adifferentforest.com/Campfire_Comment.aspx?ID=8392

It's not exactly PG :/
Which meants us slightly under the 18 years of age limit can't participate.
So in order for us younguns (Yes, I did just say that) can participate,
I figured why not have a more PG-13 version.

In order to do that though, we gotta change the topic - only slightly though.
What is the most attractive feature on a guy (or girl - we wont judge)'s body?
Or What is the most attractive thing a guy(girl) can wear?

So share, we dont judge. :) 

Hi Gals/ Guys
 

I have just spent 6.5 hours studying for an oral cancer exam and I am so so tired. If I had to look at another medical textbook, I might just shoot myself. booooooooooooo!
 

So I was hoping to read some fic to wind down a bit but apart from Starry Eyed Inside by beautiful Rochelle nothing has updated!! So I was wondering what are some of your favourite WIPs that you can’t wait to update?? Like you are thinking about the story line and the characters all the time? And even go back and re read the new chapter a couple of times??
Mine are in the comments
 

Love M
 

A GEEK used to be someone who bit the heads off of chickens at traveling circuses or carnivals. Sideshow fodder, really.  Today, a GEEK is almost a term of veneration.  We LOVE our geeks.

Especially in the fandom!  

Geekward and Geeksper are a couple of VERY popular guys!  So show us your favorite stories featuring these gentlemen.  All Human or Alternative Universe (i.e. supernatural elements) are welcome.  All ratings are totally acceptable!  They just have to feature Edward and/or Jasper as GEEKS.

So show us your geeks!  I'll have mine within... If I can get this lit before the speech therapist arrives.

Thank you for sharing your favorite Geekwards and Geekspers around the fire!

P.S. Please remember to check the MASTER FIC LIST for your fan fiction needs! :)

Now, as much as I'm supporting all the rules regarding smoking in public places (like bars, restaurants etc.) because I tend to get a little asthmatic when I'm in a smokey room, not to mention the way your clothes and hair smell after a night in a smoke-filled bar...

There is something about Rob combined with a cigarette that makes a lot of us drool even more. In a lot of AH fic, Edward is portrayed as a smoker, too. Yes, I'm 'guilty' of that as well. Here's a little bit of how I've described him in my own fic:

A pair of faded and torn jeans hung low on his hips and, combined with a black leather jacket and grey hooded sweater, he looked absolutely delectable. He had a cigarette dangling from his lips, adding a bad boy edge to his scruffy appearance. I felt butterflies in my stomach at the sight of him. Edward's eyes fell on me and he smiled that gorgeous crooked smile.

So this week, let's share pics, gifs, vids, whatev... of Rob and his smokes.

FYT...

I don't really like the tank he's wearing here, as it's a little too 'trucker boy' for my liking, and there are some pics from this shoot that make me want to take a razor to his armpits... BUT he looks so relaxed with his ciggie here! And at least they're Marlboro Lights...

Chapter 26 is up!

This week’s game:

Ode to FanFic

Are you a poet and didn’t even know it?
 

Write a verse, limerick, rhyme haiku, sonnet, song verse something short and pretty that describes, discusses or celebrates a particular fanfic. Then leave guesses for other entries. Do both – see if you can rhyme AND reason!
(inspired by jax’s poetry campfire a few months ago)
 

Guidelines:
1. Your poem can be a limerick, rhyme, haiku, sonnet, song verse, anything as long as it describes, discusses, celebrates or gives clue to a particular fanfic.
2. Don’t give away the fanfic title or author in your poem.
3. When you leave a guess, make sure to also enter a poem as well! Try both rhyme and reason!
 

Example:

Chicken Alfredo, and yummy treats
Eaten each day, yet we don’t get fat!
Scars usually kept hidden away,
Are silently shared, tit for tat.

Answer (Wide Awake)

My first entry inside.

Thanks to Cappy for sticking and approving and loving and hoping . . . .
 

I will begin by saying that I'm not a total wolf fan-to me they seem a little inflexible and nasty, honestly-however, I am obsessed with the imprint process and legend.  

What about all of you out there; do you like or dislike the idea of imprinting?

Did SM explain it fully or should more have been done, especially when Nessie came along?

Also, what are your favorite fics involving the imprint, either Nessie/Jacob (my favs!) or the other wolves/imprints?

EDIT:  I just re-read what I wrote and realized when I said "nasty" it could be interpreted wrong.  I meant mean.  

Proceed

Firstly here's Rob leaving a costume factory in LA.

e 

Is it just me or is the whole Clubmaster Ray-Ban, Vintage Band Tee, Hobo facial hair thing very strategic and not as effortless as it hopes to be.

I know some people will totally want to karate chop me in the throat but I find both Kristen and Rob's whole alternative, too cool for school persona very contrived. I think it's cause critically and in social culture nowadays Twilight is considered somewhat lame. Their Idols, peers and colleagues very rarely seem to take the whole franchise very seriously, kind of laugh it off as a silly trend like leg warmers and a perm. It cant be doing wonders for there ego, so they put on this whole act. I'm just sayin.

IDK but, I have many strange the theories and observations, I probably sound like a loony

What do you think?

Are Rob and Kristen the real deal??

Just tried the malfunctioning fic downloader "Flag " and it's working again!  At least for Macs, anyways! 

OK... THIS POST WAS DEAD LAST WEEK.

NOT ACCEPTABLE.

*ahem*

DO YOU MAKE FAN VIDEOS?

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE YOU WANT TO SHARE?

POST THEM ALL HERE.

MY RECS FOR THE WEEK:

"Bella/Edward - My Love" by Vera241241 and paradisedanifm1 <- BEST FREAKIN COLLAB EVER.

and

"fire & ice" by verotruth

Okay so the title has nothing to do with the actual question, but i was wondering if there is an iphone app out there for reading fanfic???

If you know of one let me know and if you have any awesome ideas for reading ff in an iphone i welcome everything

thanks

Just a heads up that farkle has just posted Chapter 23 of ASC 

Come leave your thoughts
