So this is a big fandom, and there are a lot of authors and stories.

And people like reading stories, yes?

SO I wanted to do something fun.

Pick something you're most of proud of that you wrote. it doesn't have to be a fanfic story. it can be anything... or it can be your fanfic, too, if you want. It can be a story or a poem. You just pick what it is, and post an excerpt from it.

If it's a fic, you're welcome to post a link and maybe snatch up a few new readers, too.

Whatever you write, post it here :)

So last night I got my copies of Water for Elephants and Ape House signed by the lovely Sara Gruen, adding to my extensive collection of signatures from authors, musicians, etc.

So what I would like to know is who's autographs do you have? Authors, musicians, celebs, artists, etc etc etc, and what did they sign?

Mine will be in the comments :)

ETA: And if you have pictures with any of these people, post them! :)

ETA 2: Incase you couldn't tell by the unoriginality of this, I'm super bored ;)

So until now I didn't feel the need to read any HP fic. I love the books, over all I'm happy with the way the story went, and I didn't finish and immediately want more.

But with the film coming out soon, I'm getting excited. And a little bit curious. SO I know a lot of campers came here from the Harry Potter fandom so I want some recs.

What sites have the best ff? What are the best communities on livejournal? Your favourite fics?

I'd like mostly canon please. I can't see me reading any Snarry or Snermione any time soon. Pairings I am interested in: Ron/Hermione, Harry/Hermione, Cedric/Hermione. And maybe maybe Harry/Ginny, if its something really good because most of the time I picture Ginny as 11 yo Bonnie Wright . But mostly I just want something good.

Thanks!

Lets say you and I had a crazy fun time one night then wake up the next morning in a jail cell.  

In 6 words or less what are your first words to me.

Here's a pic for your viewing pleasure:

jandco and wtvoc need 90s tunes.  this is important.  best tunes of the 90s, please.  go go go go go

I remember seeing a post for Nooks but for the life of me I can't remember where.

How are they as oppose to iPads (which is what I really want to get).

Also, I can't seem to download the ff i'm reading to my iPod...and I tried some links that I found on here...they are either really confusing or won't let me into the page (I'm a bit of a moron when it comes to technology...but good once I figure it out).

I was also wondering if anyone has experience with making shirts (i.e. logos and stuff).  We tried to make one for my little one but the stickers keep peeling off.

Thanks! 

Leaving you with a nice (altered) pic of James that I found on Photobucket...

Because being bad is hot!

Oh, and TGIF!!! 

Hey, let's do a FFFA picture post, yeah?

I don't get to hang out here as much as I used to and there's a lot of people that are new to me.

Show me your gorgeous faces!

Mine will be in the comments. omg not my gorgeous face, just my picture

don't leave me hangin'!

I'll feel so lame if it's just a pic of me in this thread, lol

I was just organizing my chaud folder, it houses my collection of *rightclicksave* pics, on my computer, and I realized that I simply do not have enough pics of my girl: Kristen.  This made me very sad, seeing as I would leave the everlovin' hubs in .2 seconds if KStew asked me...not likely to happen, but I'm ready just in case.  DH knows this...

So here's my appeal: PicSpam me!  I need more Kristen, but really any of the cast would find a good home on my computer.  Show me your fave pics, show me the rarely seen pics, show me the hottest pics.

I hope this isn't too redundant considering we have both KStew and RPattz campfires weekly.  And trust, the folder has grown exponentially since they began...but I still seem to be lacking  :(

this is'nt creepy, right?  I know I am not the only one who has such a folder on her computer...

FYT:

I just saw this again on TV and it cracks me up every time.  I think everyone should see his commercial at least once.  What commercials do you love?

It's my birthday and I may have just dated myself by referencing that song but, IDK what you kids are listening to these days in the club...

So, usually around/on my birthday I am really emo...does this happen to anyone else? Except this year, I got some news that is really annoying and it's been a really tough week... BUT it only makes me determined to enjoy my day.

So, in spirit of the countdown - I'd like for you to share your best, worst, funniest birthday stories.

Also, Robward cheers me up, so you know what I would LOVE...an Edward story that puts 16 candles to shame.

In light of it finally being Friday (thank god) I thought I would post a question that has been plaguing my mind lately....

I need a rec.

Very specific rec.

I know that a lot of people want to be rec'd certain pairings, certain scenarios. BadWard, DadWard, AssWard etc. What I need, what I would love to read, is a story (preferably completed) that has no romantic story line at all. I'm talking, the whole story is not based on so-and-so hooking up. Is there such a story, a good story, that has a story line thats not a romantic, lovey dovey, 'I love you, you complete me!' story line?

For your time :)

I dunno what he is doing here ^ but it made me lol

What is your poison of choice?

I'm drunk. I had one of my best friends leave our work today and got pissed with her tonight. I've had about 4 cocktails, 1 shot and 5 voddies. I'm now at home and on my 3rd wine. I like alcomahol.

What I want to know is... what drink do you LURVE that you want to convert everyone to?

I recently discovered this:

Whoever decided to mix coffee and tequila is a foooking genius. Every time I go out now, I make everyone have a shot of this or have it in a martini with Tacua, Grand Marnier and some citris juice.

If you've never had it, run and don't walk to get some and then thank me later.

In the meantime... tell me what your favourite drink is. Make it something different. Give us new ideas.

Hey! I've just spent the week in London and it's been a bit of a mess/adventure.

Now, I've never ever ever ever seen London before (and I live 2 hours away) so I may have gotten a little too excited.

I really love looking at people's holiday pictures -  partly because I'm nosey, but mostly because I like to see pictures of cities and countries I've never been too (and most likely will never afford to be able to go to).

So this campfire is for you to show me your holiday pictures!

(Bikini shots are welcome, haha)

Some London pictures with commentary are inside. The albums can be found here:

EDIT: Totally forgot about this. I've always said in the forest that if I ever saw Rob I'd act completely dignified and treat him like a normal person. I can now confirm that this is complete and utter bullshit. I saw Hardeep Singh Kohli (he let me hobble past him) in St Pancras when I was waiting for the train home and I was 10 years old again, blushing and giggle and poking Kirsty saying "OMGG! It's a celebrity." And he isn't really. Haha. So I think it's safe to say I'd be a little worse with R-Pattz.

So.... I saw this earlier in facebook and I couldn't stop giggling for a while, totes looks like she's trying to touch his junk and he's trying to protect the goodies hahahaha.

So help me caption this pic (because even though it's totally taking out of content it's still freaking hilarious)
 

I've just discovered that I passed my Chemistry re-sit!! This mean I get to continue into my second year of university!! *Happy Dance*

We all need to purge the embarrassing every once in a while, don't you think?  And since I'm feeling broody and emo at the moment, I could really use the laugh...

TELL ME YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING

SEX STORY

Mine will be in the comments...

and thank you to Hot4J for the idea! xo

disclaimer: the topics in this campfire will be of an adult nature.  chances are, there will be something in here that may make the faint of heart a tad squeemish.  if you are under 18 or easily offended by potty words and graphic descriptions of private parts, you may want to ignore this campfire.  js.

It seems like more and more as of late we hear about our favorite authors "flouncing" the fandom for various reasons. The most common one I've come across, is having their stories ripped off. To be honest, I've had mine ripped off before and posted on sites other than the one I'd originally debuted my work on, but I never thought I'd ever come to the point where I wanted to pull everything I've ever written and disappear.

At least...not until today.

So here I was, just sitting in my comfy recliner, putzing around on the internet in my own little world, when someone sends me the following e-mail regarding one of my stories:

Hi, I'm ****** and I just wanted to say I love Tides of
Fate. I thought that it could be a real book so I edited it inot two
books: Tides of Fate and Waves of Desitny. If you want to read the
edited version email me. The charater's are Logan- Bella, Carmen-
Alice, Emily or Emma- Rosalie, Jay- Edward, Dylan- Emmett, Taylor-
Jasper, Lizzie- Esme, Luke- Carlisle, and Tasha- Tanya. I just thought
maybe you should know. Email me if you want to read the edited
version!

For the last few hours, I've been avoiding logging into Fanfiction because I know that with .053 seconds of opportunity, I'll remove any trace of my presence within the fandom. I write because I enjoy writing, and I enjoy sharing it with people who enjoy reading it, but at what point does it become no longer worth the risk of having someone copy, plagiarize, edit, translate, etc, without my consent...or just outright steal my work in its entirety?

Has anyone else out there ever felt this way? What would be the drawing line for you between being able to shrug it off or having to full out fandom flounce?

I kept meaning to read a story but for the life of me, I can't remember the title (duh, sorry about stating the obvious)!

Okay, the premise is that Bella is a teacher and Edward is a new student except he is just posing as a student? I think he is like undercover law enforcement or something along those lines?  Ring any bells?

Thank you for your help!!!
