It's the end of the Muslim month of Ramadaan [when Muslims fast from Dawn till Dusk] and it's time to celebrate!

Happy Eid to all the Muslims and everyone!! Hope this month was prosperous for you.

Have a wonderful day and Chow down, like my friend [tee hee] here...

Until...you can eat no more!

 

And when you've run out of things to munch on, you can go for something real delish...


 

And BECAUSE...Life is beautiful....[And so is Rob!]

Hi everyone.  As I think most of you know I'm currently working on my second anthology for Circlet Press.  I am in desperate need of cover art for it so I am turning to you.  It is my hope that maybe one of you talented people might be interested in helping me out.  Or if you know of places I can look for artwork besides Deviantart (I already looked there) that would be great.

My anthology is called Like Myth Made Flesh and it's an erotic collection centered around mythical beings.  There's an Aztec god, a male angel, an Egyptian god, a male nymph, and a snake goddess.  Here's my last book cover so you can get an idea of the style that I like:

Here's a little bit of info from our art guidelines:

Our covers always show a human figure in some representation, whether just their eyes, a limb, or the entire body. No frontal nudity is allowed at all for obvious reasons. What we are looking for is art that conveys sensual emotion and which fits the theme of whatever book we are looking to match it with.

Art needs to look good when small (100×150 pixels, 72 dpi) and also large (510 x 760 pixels, 72 dpi). For this reason, bold simple images tend to work better than scenes with a lot of detail in them.

Surrealistic, collage-style, Dave McKean-esque, a lot of our covers have been described that way–we have a tendency to like that kind of art. Sandy Viktor Nys is one of our top cover artists for that reason.

While I'm at it I might as well hit you up for stories too.  I'd love to have two more stories for my collection.  They must be erotic and contain a mythical being of some sort.  Please NO reworked fanfictions.  I want original material and this is a paying gig.  If interested let me know.

To make this even more interactive who are some of your favorite artists?  Favorite pieces?  I just wrote a story where I referenced this piece which is one of my faves:

So I want another tattoo but I don't know what I want it to look like. I know I want the Japanese kanji symbols for Hope, Joy, Love and Peace but I don't know how to incorporate the symbols. If any of the fabulously wonderful campers have any ideas I would love to see them.

THIS IS A BIG GIRL'S CAMPFIRE

(and big boys too)

This conversation began in a different Campfire and now I'm super curious, so I'm going to conduct a brief survey.

This is for Hunger Game and Twilight fans. I want to know if there's any sort of trend among people that are either Team Edward or Jake and people that are Team Gale or Peeta.

So here is the 2 question survey:

1. Team Edward or Team Jacob?

2. Team Gale or Team Peeta?

My answers will be within. Thank you for your time.

L'Shana Tova to all the Jewish campers celebrating Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year (ringing in 5771).

Kosherward wishes you a sweet new year! Don't fill up on too much brisket and challah!

too many things to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

(sorry, buffy will brb tomorrow)

I perosnally do read Real Person Fic, and was wondering if any of ya'll do. I mostly read Rob or Jackson Rathbone RP fic on Twilighted. Outside of Twilighted threads for specific fics, I never see it discussed or metioned really. Which is sad, since some of the best fics I've read are RP fics. I know there are some fans who refuse to read it because they say it's disrespectful or wrong to write about a real person. I just see it as all of our fantasies put into words on a screen, but hey! Just curious as to how everyone else feels :0) And I'm hoping this isn't off topic, right, assuming it's about fic and Rob? Just making sure I have the rules straight !!

InstantKarmaGirl's authors note from latest chapter:

Author's Note: I just wanted to let readers know 2 things:

First, JW is being published in a series of books. I know some people will be shocked and horrified and have nothing but negative things to say, while others will be happy and supportive. Both are valid reactions. I'm sure Twitter will be abuzz…

Second, It's never been my intention to leave JW up indefinitely, so I wanted to give everyone ample warning that after the last chapter posts, it will remain intact on this fanfiction website for one week. If you have friends who are "waiting until the heartfail (what the hell is heartfail anyway?) ends" you might give them a heads up on that. (No, this is not the last chapter, and neither is the next).

Okay, three things: Third, I appreciate the support and loyalty of many people of this fandom. It's been a pleasure to engage with you all.

I'm actually quite surprised that she's intending to finish the story on fanfiction.net first, I think that's very nice of her considering most people just pull them halfway through!

If my friends caught me reading _____________, they would __________________.

GOGOGO.

Or else Kellan will bite you. And you will die.

It's Thursday, September 9th and you know what that means...Vampire Diaries premieres tonight!  Recap of last season:

- Alaric's wife, Isabel is really Elena's momma

- Damon grew a conscience and became emo...but is thankfully still hot

- Stefan got all bloodlusty...but  remains boring while doing so

- Football captain douche guy is some sort of supernatural being but exactly what...I don't know

- Damon kisses Elena...but it's really vamp!Catherine

- Emo Jeremy is still painful to watch on TV

Damon:  "Stefan is different. He wants to be human. He wants to feel every episode of How I Met Your Mother."

Come in and tell me how much you love this show.  If not, just spam me with pretty pictures of Vampire Boone.

(approved by GAW.  Yay!)

Do you listen to podcast? Do you have a podcast?

I personally don’t really listen to podcasts. I have maybe listened to a few twilight fanfiction podcasts specifically when I stumbled across them and they said they were interviewing specific authors. A friend of mine (who yay I made through this fandom) loves podcast so she decided she wanted to do one and I said I help. Her goal was to make it a short and sweet straight recommendation podcast, not an hour long analytical play by play, and nothing full of spoilers. Her idea kinda reminded me of the master list post on ADF, just to the point recs.

Here is our first attempt its called THE LIT OF TWI:

Do you listen to any Twilight podcast, if so what do you get out of it? What are your favorites? Do you listen for recommendations or to hear the authors talk or just to reach out and touch other people in the fandom?

If you have a podcast, do you like doing them, what kind of hosting service do you use? My friend is still working on the technical part of hers (yeah I am just a hanger on, I’m not a technical idiot, but if it doesn’t involve clicking on a link to open a new fanfiction story I lose interest quick).

WTVOC approved my pimping and so did this guy:

It's rainy here in New Orleans, but it's not dampening our spirits!

It's NFL Opening Night tonight, AKA the 4th Annual Brett Favre Retirement Party.

Saints v Vikings.

The Who Dat Nation is ready....

ARE YOU?!

 

OMG I totally forgot to start the Rob appreciation campfire last week... I’m so sorry, you guys! But, I do have a very good reason for forgetting. It includes perving... and I’ll leave it up to you to fill in the blanks ;)

Anyway, to make it up to you, let’s discuss another favorite aspect of the delicious Rob...

His long, talented FINGERS.

Yes, campers, it’s time for a fingerp0rn picspam!
Show us your best and share your thoughts.

Mine are, as usual, in the comments.

Just a quick heads up: don't post all your pics/gifs of Rob smoking in this one! I mean, yeah, he looks hot doing it, and damn do I love his fingers in that position, but I'm planning a campfire dedicated to that all by itself!
 

She's older and experienced; he's young and enthusiastic.  He's older and confident while she's young and sassy.  Maybe. :)  Point is, there's an age difference, a difference big enough to be an issue for one reason or another.  

It's the May-December Romance!  The story appeals to us on many levels in "the real world" whether or not the pairing makes news.  In the Twidom, this is equally true.  So share with us your favorite fics involving a May-December romance.  (This does not necessarily include NOR does it preclude the AU aspect of our fandom.  I think the biggest May-December romance issues will, though, be a HUMAN consideration.  I leave that to the discretion of the individual Camper!)

Remember, if you're looking for a rec, we have THIRTY-SIX (including this one) CATEGORIES of fic recs on the MASTER FIC LIST.  So if you or someone you know is looking for a specific type of story, chances are we have some winners to share. :)

Today, bring on the winningest May-December Romances!  My rec will be within.

Thank you for sharing your favorite recommendations around the fire!

 Allow me to put this out there to you who follow ´canon´ Bella.

Never ever does she say out loud in any book of Twilight ; I´m so plain and pale and soo boring.  - She thinks it yes, but god it pains me to hear her say it word by word in every other story I read!  Its so AWKWARD!  

E; Hey Bella, you lookin cute

B; ... breath hitches, blinks, looks stunned (dream sequence´ OMG DID HE JUST CALL ME PERFECTLY EXQUISITE IS HE CRAZY WHAT DOES HE SEE IN ME WHEN HE COULD HAVE ANY (another fail in fics coming up) PERFECTLY PLASTIC FAKE BOOBIE TANNED BLEACHED BLONDE BIMBO HERE)) .. thanks Edward but you dont have to say that,  I know I´m really plain and really just boring.

Does this annoy you too?  Cos I´m reading a fic and I just gonna skim it to finish cos now it´s just predictable.

I'm lost in a sea of awesome fics and outstanding authors and I'm struggling with finding the time to read them all.  I need to narrow things down a bit and I need some help from you lovely ADF'ers.

What I'm after is your ultimate favourite fic. AH/Canon/AU/Vamp whatever.  What is the fic that is numero uno in your eyes?  The one you wanted to read again as soon as you finished. The one were you are jealous of the people who are reading it for the first time.

I know there is a master fic list on here (>3 LJ Summers), but it has gotten pretty huge, so I'm after a definitive list regardless of genre, rating etc

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^so pretty^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Pictures say a thousand words.

Lets share pictures of the cutest twilight character!

It should be illegal to have such abs, brown, cute face at his age! :D Love that smile!

No seriously.

In Houston.  He has gone to bed now (I assume) so I think it's okay to post these:

Post pics if you find them!   Hope he got out of there okay...

And to make this interactive:

Would you go up to him?  Or leave him alone?
