Serious giggles, anybody?

Friday September 24, 2010 at 9:13 AM

Alllllright, I may be revealing my (weird? non-existent? sick?... ) sense of humour, but this made me seriously giggle today. (Some background: the old guy is the Swiss finance minister and he is giving a speech to the Swiss parliament about some customs ordinance. Yes, really.)

What made you laugh today?

Dontcha just hate it when

Friday September 24, 2010 at 6:48 AM

Ranger jandco and I were just talking... as we often do. And I was like "I hate it in AH stories where Edward eats nothing but junk food."

And she said she was cool with it. But she can't stand it when he cooks really elaborate shit and he's good at it.

I agree.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT FOOD IN FIC?

More importantly, share your food peeves here.

 

this is stickied because we are rangers are we're cool.

THANK YOU!!!

Friday September 24, 2010 at 4:39 AM

I could have done this in a PM, but I wanted to publicly thank NOLEBUCGRL. I just recieved the bath and body products that she offered on the Pay It Forward campfire and there were some really nice products in there. She even included some of the Twilight Woods ( she says she didn't buy it because of Twilight...LOL) products from Bath and Body works and it smells amazing.

So, THANK YOU, Nolebucgrl. I really appreciate and love everything!

To make this interactive, is there anyone in the fandom you would like to thank publicly for doing something nice for you?

What decade are you SUPPOSED to be from?

Thursday September 23, 2010 at 10:19 PM

I'm a '90's kid. I love the '90's. Lovin' the 2000's, too. Lovin' the '10's.

However,

I feel like I should be a '70's chick. The '70's, they just sing to me. I love everything about them. The culture, the music, the clothing... I'm a '70's kid at heart.

What decade/era are you supposed to be from?

To Read Or Not To Read?

Thursday September 23, 2010 at 7:10 PM

That seems to be the big question these days.

We know that fics are being pulled for various reasons, whether we like it or not.

(Yes, we are a spoiled bunch, lol)

 

HOWEVER, what I would like to discuss is the domino effect that is taking place in the ficdom.

And what is that effect, you ask?

People are refusing to touch stories that are WIP, or haven't been updated in such and such a time for fear they will be pulled before completion.

Please step into my campsite and share your thoughts?

Please be civil, this is not a war of the words, but rather a lament for the lack of them....

 

EDIT: My comment is finally up.  (cat on keyboard fail)

To translate?

Thursday September 23, 2010 at 6:04 PM

Hey chicos, I've got me some questions . . . and hopefully the campers will share their insight.

I was recently contacted to by someone who would like to translate my story. And I haven't answered yet, because I don't know if I should.

So here are the questions:

Have you had someone translate your story?

Were you happy with it?

What was the translating process like? Were you involved in it?

Have you had someone ask to translate your story and you told them no? Why?

Have you had someone ask to translate your story and you said yes, but only with stipulations? If so, what were your requests and why?

What do you think could be some pros and cons of translating a story?

Would the actual language that they want to translate it into make a difference to you? Why?

Any readers out there read a translated story? What did you think?

Any readers out there WANT to read a translated story or wish that their favorite was translated? Why?

 

Any and all ideas, opinions, experiences with this topic are TOTALLY welcomed!

Have You Ever Had

Thursday September 23, 2010 at 5:34 PM

A day that was so horrible that it was epic?

 

 

 

 

Was said day so bad that it was comical?

 

Would you like to learn how to

have an epically horrible comical day?

 

 

Well, campers, step inside to listen to my tale.

 

 

I would love to commiserate with those of you who have had similar days, or have known someone with similar days. 

Share with me?

This may be against the rules. I'm not sure.

 

BUT I am DYING to read "Midnight Son of a Bitch" by greeengoldfish.

I have read SO SO SO SO many good things about this story, and it seems right up my alley. I'm sad to have missed it.

 

Does anyone have it? Does anyone know where I can find it? Does anyone know where I can find miss greeengoldfish herself so I can beg her to let me read it?

(If not, I am also open to fic recommendations... I'm in between fics at the moment. Beware, I can't handle much error in the way of grammar, and I enjoy a strong, snarky Bella and an Edward who has, in fact, managed to grow up in his 100+ years.)

 

Love,

L

I got this from a person I know on base and I just had to share....and I would like to post later

 

From M's dad....

The Miracle Toddler Diet
People are always on the lookout for a new diet. The trouble with most diets is that you don't get enough to eat (the starvation diet), you don't get enough variation (the liquid diet) or you go broke (the all-meat diet). Consequently, people tend to cheat of their diets, or quit after 3 days. Well, now there's the new Toddler Miracle Diet.

Over the years you may have noticed that most two year olds are trim. Now the formula to their success is available to all in this new diet. You may want to consult your doctor before embarking on this diet, otherwise, you may be seeing him afterwards. Good Luck !!!

DAY ONE

Breakfast: One scrambled egg, one piece of toast with grape jelly. Eat 2 bites of egg, using your fingers; dump the rest on the floor. Take 1 bite of toast, then smear the jelly over your face and clothes.

Lunch: Four crayons (any color), a handful of potato chips, and a glass of milk (3 sips only, then spill the rest).

Dinner: A dry stick, two pennies and a nickel, 4 sips of flat Pepsi.

Bedtime snack: Throw a piece of toast on the kitchen floor.

DAY TWO

Breakfast: Pick up stale toast from kitchen floor and eat it. Drink half bottle of vanilla extract or one vial of vegetable dye.

Lunch: Eat a half tube of "Pulsating Pink" lipstick and a handful of Purina Dog Chow (any flavor). One ice cube, if desired.

Afternoon snack: Lick an all-day sucker until sticky, take outside, drop in dirt. Retrieve and continue slurping until it is clean again. Then bring inside and drop on rug.

Dinner: A rock or an uncooked bean, which should be thrust up your left nostril. Pour Grape Kool-Aid over mashed potatoes; eat with spoon.

DAY THREE

Breakfast: Two pancakes with plenty of syrup, eat one with fingers, rub in hair. Glass of milk; drink half, stuff other pancake in glass. After breakfast, pick up yesterdays sucker from rug, lick off fuzz, put it on the cushion of best chair.

Lunch: Three matches, peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Spit several bites onto the floor. Pour glass of milk on table and slurp up.

Dinner: Dish of ice cream, handful of potato chips, some red punch. Try to laugh some punch through your nose, if possible.

FINAL DAY

Breakfast: A quarter tube of toothpaste (any flavor), bit of soap, an olive. Pour a glass of milk over bowl of cornflakes, add half a cup of sugar. Once cereal is soggy, drink milk and feed cereal to dog.

Lunch: Eat bread crumbs off kitchen floor and dining room carpet. Find that sucker and finish eating it.

Dinner: A glass of spaghetti and chocolate milk. Leave meatball on plate. Stick of mascara for dessert.

"Fan Fix" Fic List

Thursday September 23, 2010 at 6:37 AM

Meaning no disrespect to Stephenie Meyer, but I know it's why I started writing fanfic... I started out of my need to FIX things I found to be left dangling or that felt Just So Wrong in the Twilight Saga

This is true of others as well!  (For example, I would venture to guess that the Jacob/Bella contingent is really a deep-seated wish to write Fan Fix!)

So, share with us your favorite fics that attempt to FIX things!  If you are a writer that has written to that purpose, by all means include your story!

We are developing, here at A Different Forest, QUITE the collection of fanfiction recommendations!  Please avail yourself of the MASTER FIC LIST if you ever find you are wanting to read a fan fic of a particular stripe. We've got you covered!

 

So, what are your favorite fan fix fics?  My rec will be inside.

 

Thanks for sharing your favorites around the fire!
