Ok, I know we have had this discussion in the forest before, but I had not had reason to venture in to those fires, until now...

So I was reading a fic, it was going along pretty well.  I thought the writing was fine, not terrific, but not the worst I've read.  The story was moving along at a fast clip, then we get to the lemons.  They were fine, if not a bit over the top.  After it got to be a little excessive, I went to read up on the author...and found out she was a, younger, teenager (who states, in her bio, that she is, in fact...uh, a virgin).  I was mortified.  I don't know if I've read any other smut by an underage author (certainly not intentionally), but this makes me very uncomfortable. 

What do you, ladies do?  Do you immediatly flounce?  Do you give it a chance?  Do you review and explain to the author your issues?  I don't know...I think I am too uncomfortable to continue reading, but I wanted to ask my girls for advice! 

FYT:

< I just discovered the plethora of pics of this man God...yum yum yum  :)

Somehow, someway, sometime, we all made our way here. Here, being the Twilight world and the Twilight fandom. Some of us have been here years, some days, and some somewhere in between. Friends rec'd it, we saw the movie(s), we stumbled upon it in Barnes and Noble, either way, we here.

Sure, there's stuff we don't like, stuff we'd change, and stuff we're all WTF about.

But we're here because we like it. Something drew us and kept us.

And I want to hear about what you like - what you still like. I don't want to hear about what you don't like - we can do a new campfire for that if you want.

So, for now, tell me what you love...

About Twilight? Why do you love it?

About Fan Fic? Why do you love it?

About the Fandom? Why do you love it?

I'll answer mine inside :D

I'm looking for a fic called "Fix It" that I read a very long time ago that has been gone from FFnet for a while. Here is a summary of the story (contains some spoilers) that someone wrote up a while ago.

Edward and Bella have been married since they graduated high school. B got pregnant w/twins right away. She stays at home, doesn't go to college. E goes to med school, meets Tanya while working at the hospital. T and E have a six month affair. E tries to break it off with T since he wants to work on his marriage to B. T shows up at E's and tells the kids she's going to be their new mommy in front of B. B throws E and T out. E goes to Em's and breaks down, confesses to the affair to his family. Alice beats down E. B files for divorce and kisses her neighbor. E flips out and beats down the neighbor. Etc, etc. Very angsty.

If you have any idea what the authors name is or if it was reposted elsewhere or if you saved it I'd really appreciate it. It was one of my favorite fics, so I'll do just about anything for it.

edit: A lot of people in the comments wanted to know how the story ended, so I'm making a comment in the thread with that. :)

Since I miss our Saturday rec campfires, I decided to host one myself!

REC ME US SOMETHING GOOD!

And if you have your favorites posted, include a link to your ff.net profile page so we can stalk take a look at your general preferences.

Seems like a lot of us are in the same boat LOL!

I was updating my bookmarks the other day on my RIL list ...I ended up deleteing more than 100 fics either because the link showed they had been pulled from FFnet or because they hadn't been updated in nearly a year or more. It's so sad really... Although it is nce to see my RIL fics down to under 350 fics to read rather than the over 500 I had there recently!

Anyway I noticed there was no longer a fic on my list that I had been waiting to read - Sanctuary (Priestward). I cannot for the life of me remember who wrote it. I cannot find it on FFnet and I search twilighted when someone told me they thought it was over there, but no luck - not even on the forums.  (And it's not easy to search on twilighted!)

Can anyone help me out? Is it still posted somewhere? Does anyone remember who the author was? Was it ever completed?

FOund It - Thank you!

I just got to know that both Osa Bella and High Anxiety are now COMPLETE, except for the Epilogue.

Also The Wedding Party final chapter has been written pending posting...

Suddenly I have plenty of fics to read. YAY!

What other fics you know have recently completed? Sharing is caring ...

I went looking for La Serenade's fic 'Where Poppies Grow' today, and it's gone. Anyone know if it was posted elsewhere, or any information regarding this? And so we're clear, i'm not criticizing the author, i'm just surprised as i heard no mention of this.

To jog memories:

Summary: During World War II, Bella is a British spy in Paris, where she plays the part of a rich man's fiancee. Edward is a pianist living in France. Love strikes, but will Bella choose her love, or her duty?

This is easy. Show me yours.

Here's mine:

My first post here....

I'm looking for one fic for  few month, and I hadn't found it.

Chaostic summary (I wrote it a few months ago):

Vampires are hunting humans at day I think…, Bella and Edward are the best friends, at Charlie’s home they make love. Bella sees him as a vampire she runs to the church and Rose wants to kill E, but Bella stops her. E looks at her with confusion. He has golden eyes not red like other vampires. This story is written with two time lines one the past: E&B as friends, having sex, E is later dead. And present vampires are hunting humans.

Thanks for help! (If anyone knows this story).

Hey everyone. I don't post new campfires very much but here goes...

I'M LOOKING FOR A BETA/PRE-READER FOR MY FIC, GROUNDS FOR INSPIRATION.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5657697/1/Grounds_for_Inspiration

I already have a beta but I'm also looking for one or two people to pre-read chapters for me and give me some general feedback/support. Of course it has to be someone who actually likes the fic - I wouldn't want it to be horrific for you.

Anyways, if you're up for it just post in the campfire or PM me or something or other :)

~ Melie.

So this fic is older Im pretty sure its been pulled because it was on my favorites and now I cant find it but Im just making sure.

So Edward is an actor. He meets Bella in a bar one night and they hang out all night. He asks her if she wants to be his PA and they make a lunch date for the next day and he doesnt show. Then later they run into each other on a plane and he appoligizes and asks her again. She accepts. Of course he is filiming a Twilight type movie. I cant remember much else without giving away too much.

I do know that its not Realize or Faking It.

Anybody got any idea?

Thanks tons in advance. And for your time.

Do you have an amazing fic that you'd like to be updated at least once a month( which alas! doesn't happen), and yet in spite of it you still don't want to let it go?

I was thinking this about  'The Bitter Sweetness of an Ocean Soul' which is second close to LoMaH in my all time favorites and wondering if you are like me and hope against hope for some slow but amazing fics and their updates.

Hi I'm new here and was hoping you can help me find a fic.

Know when you are reading something and your mind wanders and you start thinking oh this reminds me of something else and you cannot remember it and it drives you insane!

Hoping the information I have helps.

~ Bella and Alice are roomates. Alice, I believe sleeps around a ton and ends up pregnant. Jasper turns out to be her doctor and those two wind up together and moving to I'm guessing Texas. That's all I can remember! My head isn't working for the rest of it.

If anyone knows that would be good!

~ FOUND! Thanks for the help! It was Our Tree ~

ok, i was travelling or work -AGAIN- and my mind was wandering to different fics that i've read, as it is wont to do, and i thought about these two that i read quite a long time ago, and i can't remember what they were called.  so if anyone could help me out, i'd be likely to blow you kisses.

fic 1
bella runs some type of nonprofit organization (maybe focused on art for kids??) but is a total disorganized free spirit.  edward is the really, really prissy accountant who comes in to help her get her affairs in order.  he's married (possibly to someone named Hannah??) to a very uptight woman.  bella keeps her receipts in a metal lunchbox - possibly He Man or Masters of the Universe.  any ideas?

fic 2
bella and edward are married.  he's a doctor.  she falls while cleaning windows and bonks her head and he treats her concussion at home.  turns out she has some brain damage that causes crazy mood swings and she gets pretty abusive. 

so, ladies.  help me out.  i totes missed FFAF, which sucks 'cuz i had a good idea for a campfire.  however, i won't be out of town so late next weekend, so maybe i'll sit down with a bottle of wine and the 'ole laptop.

cheers!

I know this is completely random but I was with a bunch of friends not working of course like I should have been and this really attractive guy came in and leaned over me to get something off my desk and I got a whiff of his cologne which was Amazing and I found myself leaning in for another sniff. Thankfully he didn't notice but he smelled good enough that I wanted to close my eyes and bury my face in his shirt. Ok lets put it this way if Edward Cullen were real thats how he would smell. I had to stop myself before i closed my eyes in ecstasy and looked around to see if my friends were watching but it was like something out of a movie. Has this ever happened to anyone else or am I just a freak that likes to sniff men who smell good?

I've been using  http://flag.erayd.net/ but it's not working for me tonight. Is anyone else having trouble with this site? Does anyone know if this site will no longer work? Does anyone else have sites that are easy to use if this site is no longer working?

Now if ya'll saw who was building this fire, you KNEW what the subject was gonna be....

Dont be that way, sug!

Anywhoo, his band is participating in a contest with GoDADDY.com where they could win some loot and since I KNOW soo many here in the Forest just LOVE,(perv) after him and the band as well, I was willing to bet that ya'll want to see them win. They have a spot called 

"The Mustaches Make It Big" by Rafael Gamboa 

http://videos.godaddy.com/godaddy-commercial-contest.aspx?vid=1432&isc=contest10se

I am stuck posting a link to the site because im too freakin goofy to figure out how to get just their video, but its FUNNY and worth journey to find them. Please! Please! Please! GO...watch their lil spot,(many times) and vote for them,MANY TIMES!!

Also in further Monkey/Rathbone business

He has another movie coming out soon besides 'Girlfriend"! ( I swear the man is a machine) oh that just gives me wrong thoughts...

Its called  "Daze Vol. Too NoNSenSE"

The band has also announced further dates on their tour, though alas they are sadly far from me in Atlanta and L.A.  though they might get up in this neck of the woods again someday soon. Their next album should be out in about January and a DVD of the highlights of the last leg of their tour is HOPEFULLY going to be out in November so I will have something to buy my daughter for Christmas since I wont be able to put him under the tree.

Here is a sample of the DVD soon to come!!

I am in the process of creating a blog of completed and pulled Twi FFn stories.

And I need help creating a header for the blog! Is anyone out there good with these kinds of things and willing to help me?

The image needs to be 950 x 200 pixels if possible! 

So, I'm watching the first season of the old school Beverly Hills, 90210 and couldn't help but notice some of the characters could be Twilight characters.  The first one I noticed was:

Dylan McKay is the old Edward Cullen.  Hot and dangerous.

Steve Sanders - he's totally Emmett! Loud, obnoxious, jock, but also caring and loyal

Kelly Taylor - a wannabe Rosalie - not as pretty as I imagine Rosalie, but selfish, snobby and beautiful

Brandon Walsh reminds me of Carlisle, except his righteous indignation at everything is annoying at times.

That's as far as I got in analyzing the characters. Agree or disagree? Can you think of any other matches?
