Does anyone know of any stories where Edward (as a vampire) meets Bella (as a child)?

A while back I read a story called Bella Hale (wonderful story, but hasn't updated in ages) where the Cullens found Bella after her parents died in a car accident.  Even at 6 years old, Bella had a cute little attachment to Edward and him to her.  Their relationship was absolutely adorable. 

Ever since I read that story, I've been attached to the idea, but there doesn't seem to be many out there.  If you know of any, I'd really appreciate the rec.  Hell, if I thought anyone would enter, I'd just create my own contest and have people write one-shots about it.  *sigh*

Bella Hale
Summary: Six year old Isabella Swan was orphaned after a car crash took her parents away, and Edward and the Cullens find her. Alice decides to keep her, and Edward tries to protect her. Family drama and hilarity ensues as Bella grows up and ExB happens.

(I know I read a couple more, but I can't remember what they were called...)

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN.

DO YOU MAKE FAN VIDEOS?

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE YOU WANT TO SHARE?

POST THEM ALL HERE.

This week, I'm reccing one that I didn't make and one that I did.

"Twilight || Supermassive Black Hole" by Vera241241

"O Death || The Vampire Diaries" by Yours Truly (bexi21)

POST AWAY CAMPERS.

In about two months I'm leaving for the warm paradise that's called Thailand, and since time sometimes go faster than you think I thought I'd start collecting recs so I have time to buy the books before I leave. I mean, I will be spending quite some time being lazy on the beach, and we all know that a book is the perfect company ^^

Basically, just rec me whatever you read now, or your favourtie book or whatever you think is worth recommending. 

I just have one request; I'd like to stay away from angsty books since this is supposed to be a vacation and I'd rather not spend the time crying (But if you do have a pretty angsty book that is a must read then rec it anyways, I can read it at home). And if you have some chick-lit that would be great ^^

And just on another random note, since my boss easily forgets things I posted this pic with the words "This is where I'll be during Nov 23rd to Dec 12!" on his office wall. ;)

omg this font is so amazing

anyways I'M BROKE

this is a very special edition of freecycling. let's help each other with costumes this year.

offer up stuff you've got- it should be something you don't mind parting with.

and ask for the things you need to complete your costume. no money is to be exchanged, that defeats the purpose of freecycling. you can offer to pay for shipping, if you must. just offer whatchoo got, and call dibs on what you'd like. don't be greedy.

this post brought to you by stretchnumbers, who needs a pair of 90s-era alternative/grunge style boots in a woman's 10. anyone? anyone?

anyway, i am looking for:

-a flannel to fit my kid who is male and wears a size L in kids

-harry potter costumes for 2 boys- they wear a boys' 7/8. we'll take anything, but i'm really looking for the robes because jfc those things are like 30 bucks apiece

-a hooded cape for my witch costume, black, red, or purple, any texture, i don't really care

and i'll reimburse you via paypal for shipping if you like

i have:

-a captain hook costume with hat, sword, and boot covers (it's from disney) in a kid's size 5/6

-a can of glitter hair spray

-a star wars clone trooper in a boy's large (10/12, i think)

-several power rangers costumes, they'd be small. i'd have to look, honestly.

-and i'll take care of shipping

i will post this campfire again in about 10 days if you wanna think over whether you need costume pieces in the next week.

twinmini wtvocs from yore:

Buffy: Love makes you do the wacky.
Angel: What?
Buffy: Crazy stuff.
Angel: Oh. Crazy, like a two-hundred-and-forty-one-year-old being jealous of a high school junior?
Buffy: Are you fessing up?
Angel: I've thought about it. Maybe it bothers me a little.
Buffy: I don't love Xander.
Angel: Yeah, but he's in your life. He gets to be there when I can't. Take your classes, eat your meals, hear your jokes and complaints. He gets to see you in the sunlight.

and because i was torn between 2 quotes

Xander: Y'know, this might go a lot faster if you femmes actually picked up a shovel, too.
Giles: Here, here.
Buffy: Sorry, but I'm an old-fashioned gal. I was raised to believe that men dig up the corpses and the women have the babies.

tomorrow's episode is dedicated to lababykarla.  or is it carla?  whatev.  she knows why.

I saw this over at Perez Hilton:

Firelight To Replace Twilight?

Vampires are SOOO two months ago. Fire-breathing dragon-people are in.

Mandalay Pictures just bought rights to Firelight, a trilogy by Sophie Jordan. The books are about a set of twin teenage sisters who are a part of the Draki race (a group that descended from dragons). One of the twins has the rare talent of fire-breathing and is the center of a “dark plan” to use her skill, so her mother takes the twins away to live among humans.

This sounds silly, but let’s be honest… it’s not much different than vampires.

What do U think about fire-breathing teens?

Have any of you read or heard of this book? What do you think about fire-breathing teens?

I did a bit of research, the book was released on 9-7-10 and is the first book in Jordan's new YA paranormal series.

....and just in case No Spoilers please, I will most likely end up reading it.

Thank you G.A.W for your quick approval

So... I write a fic.  And I kinda love it, I really do.  It's a story I can really sink my teeth into and I enjoy writing it (even if sometimes reading my own writing makes me cringe).  The process, I find enjoyable.  I have a bad habit though... writing this story seems to take a lot out of me... emotionally.   I put myself IN the characters shoes and it's not always a comfortable place, so once I write and post, I sit back and relax for a few days... which then leads into a few weeks...before I'm able to get back on the saddle and write some more.  Then sometimes it's kinda hard to find my character's voice again. 

My problem today is that recently I've been reading a story (that will remain UNNAMED) that is... less then stellar.  Actually...it sucks (and no... you won't guess which one it is)...but it updates so often I can't help but read it.  It's not poorly written or anything, it's just SO LAME OMG.  Edward's voice in this particular fic is so freaking corny it makes me GAG.... he sounds like a 50 yr old woman (no offense to 50 yr old women--- just don't want to call any of you 'Edward').  And so now, today, when I try to sit down to write, ALL I HEAR IS CORNY-EDWARD'S VOICE.  Not MY sweet, kinda funny, smart, introspective, overly-descriptive, means-well-but-does-the-wrong-thing, sexy Edward.

I have a few things I'm doing, hoping to find MY Edward's voice again... I re-read a few of my favorite chapters.  I wrote a few paragraphs of something that had absolutely nothing to do with the fic, but it was just something I thought MY Edward would think/say/do.  I've been listening to a playlist I created to go along with my story.

But my question to you, Campers, is

WHAT DO YOU DO TO GET YOUR MOJO BACK?

Do you read another fic?

Do you have a favorite book that inspires you?

WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR INSPIRATION?

FIGURE THE FIC OUT!

Hi fellow campers... lets play a game!  It will be fun, and help get over the hump faster!

List three clues about a fic, and let's see if the rest of us can guess which fic it is. Keep an eye out and if someone get's it right, or if nobody's getting it right, let us know the correct fic after a few tries!

Some basic parameters: (A) Each clue must be a word, phrase or image. (B) Clues cannot be author names or fic titles. (C) When you enter your guess, you must leave clues for your Figure the Fic Out entry!

Example:

1. Insomnia

2.

3.

(answer: Wide Awake)

My first FtFO entry will be in the comments . . .

(p.s. I was too impatient to wait for ranger approval response. . . this game is related to Twi-fic, so I think i should be okay - I just didn't know if games had to be approved. . . )

new stills from the deathly hallows

more at the source

lol i set the 7 potters as my new background

IS IT NOVEMBER YET?

D':

I'm still not over how I forgot to post the last campfire, making me a week late. *facepalm*

So, this week I vowed to be on time and here I am!

Checking my list to see which aspect of Rob to appreciate in further detail for a moment... or two... or three... hell, why not indefinitely? Aaanyway, I decided to drool over

Rob in a suit

I mean, as much as he totally rocks the hobo look, he looks awefully delicious when he's (slightly) cleaned up. Entire fics have been written that center around a businessman-Edward, and I always get images like the ones in the comments when reading those. How about you?

Something pretty to get you started...

HAPPY HUMP DAY!  Yes, friends and campers, it is WEDNESDAY!  The annoying middle - HUMP! - of the week!

Today's Fic Compilation is brought to you by the letters E and B and by the number 43.  (And if anyone takes issue with how many times these things are "brought to you" by the letter E, please remember it IS the most common letter of the English language. Thank you!)

On the MASTER FIC LIST, I have not only all the gathered fic lists, but also the (recently pared down) list of requested future lists.  One of these requested categories is the EMMETT & BELLA story.  I know of one or two specifically that I ADORE!

How about you?  Please, share your Emmett and Bella recommendations around the fire!  All Human or Alternative Universe.  HEA or a sad goodbye.  A playful T rated story or an intense NC-17, we'd love you to bring them 'round.

Remember the Rules of the Campfire

1.  Keep it Simple!

2.  No Discussions!

Oh! May I say how extremely cool it is for me to see folks using these lists in other campfires? Makes me smile to know that y'all are finding them useful. Remember the lists are works in progress, so if you run across a new fic you want to share, or a favorite has recently been completed, find the appropriate list and update it!  Thanks!

My favorite Emmett and Bella story rec will be within.

THANK YOU for sharing your favorite Emmett and Bella story around the fire!

So, I've been sitting on this post for about a week now. I wanted to save it for my 22nd birthday! (on the 22nd...giggles).

So Jackson Rathbone, was not always where my attention went. Then I quietly fell in love with him. Why?

Because of this:

That man can do creepy face better than anyone. Give me more? And we can share the love, any other sexy men giving their creepy face....but especially him. I mean, their in a vampire movie, there should be at least a few between all the angsty faces.

(CoughandZacharyQuintocough)

OH! And the GIF's! I love those!

Nano (not Nanuck, not that annoying Mork catch phrase - jeez!!) is only 40 days away - are you in?

Support groups are popping up in the fandom (MyVampFiction and Twilight Counsel are both putting together support efforts that include WC's, writing resources, etc).  Doesn't matter if you are writing Fiction, Non Fiction, or Fan Fiction - there are resources and moral support a plenty!!  (here's a link to the counsel support post with the support group sign up)

Come on - fess up, are you in yet? If so, are you outlining or ramboing it? Have you participated in the past? Any insights to share with first timers?

Don't know about Nano and want more details - here's your chance - there are plenty of people in the forest who have participated before - ask away!!

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER!

^^^click that^^^

Now go make yer own!

tor owes me several hours i will never get back because of this!

Rec me some funny fics, please :)

I just read The Cube by Sdfreeze (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6164528/1/The_Cube) and was literally laughing-OL!  It was truly, truly funny with unconventional characters; a real easy, funny, and entertaining read.  I haven't yet read the sequel, but plan on it very soon.  I really like all-out hillarious fics (especially when I've been on an angsty, drama filled run).  I have some others that are on my list of LOL Fics - Bella's Hymen Theory and Edroar the Angry Lion are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head (and very funny O/S's too - Lost and Found and Hate's an Aphrodisiac), but I know I have tons of others out there.

What are your favorite, aboslutely LOL fics?

I am so tired of Twilight haters.  I hate people high fiving each other in their shared distaste of Twilight.  I hate feeling like crap for my hobby and needing to hide it.  I always want to defend and say, "But it's not just about the vampires! It's the fic!"  But who cares to hear it?  No one, it seems.  Sigh.  Someone say something.  Anything.  I know this has been talked about before, probably at great length.  But humor me as I hide in the forest. 

season 1 finale- prophecy girl

Xander: How can I say this clearly? I don't like you. At the end of the day, I pretty much think you're a vampire. But Buffy's got this big old yen for you. She thinks you're a real person. And right now I need you to prove her right.

Angel: You're in love with her.

Xander: Aren't you?

season 2 premiere- "when she was bad"

Cordelia: Buffy. You're really campaigning for bitch-of-the-year, aren't you?

Buffy: As defending champion, you nervous?

Do you have a delicious account?  If so, post your link....I wanna stalk your fic list ;)
