Have these been posted already? I saw them listed as new, but not sure exactly how new. Perez's dumb azz could be a week behind for all I know.

Just a quick campfire to ask:
WHO HAS TWITTER?? I WOULD SO V.V.V MUCH LIKE YOURS PLEASE SIL VOUS PLAIT PER FAVORE BITTE whateverwhatever

cehedges is mah username. now what's yours? I need some more ADFers! (:

G.A.W approved this 'cause she is awesome

everyone should follow the forest

@DifferentForest

Okay, if it were up to me, Kristen would be in a t-shirt and jeans all day (maybe sometimes short shorts or a romper--my ultimate fantasy), but sometimes they make her wear dresses and stand on red carpets and she ends up looking pretty amazing. So tell me what your favorite red carpet looks are. Or any carpet. Or any look, I don't care. I think I died when I saw Kristen at The Runaways premiere in New York.

 

Also, an honorable mention to the black Chanel she wore here:

So come play with me! Show me your favorites. And, if you didn't like something, feel free to point it out. I have more favorites in the comments.

And because I couldn't resist - Kris in jeans. Whatever.

Wow it's Tuesday!

For us in the US... we had a Holiday yesterday, which, for me at least, throws everything off!

Did you all have a good weekend?

Tell me about it!

Looks like our good friend Rob had fun...

(umm... Rob is in Texas.. I lived in Texas for 2 years... coincidence? I think not....js... source)

So what's new, Campers?

Let's talk about Texas~~

~Texas is the only state to have the flags of 6 different nations fly over it. They are: Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate States, and the United States.
~More wool comes from the state of Texas than any other state in the United States.
~Austin is considered the live music capital of the world.
~The first suspension bridge in the United States was the Waco Bridge. Built in 1870 and still in use today as a pedestrian crossing of the Brazos River.
~The armadillo is the official state mammal.
~The world's first rodeo was held in Pecos on July 4, 1883.
~The first word spoken from the moon on July 20, 1969 was Houston.
~More species of bats live in Texas than in any other part of the United States.

Woohoo, Texas!!

are there any Texas campers in the house?!?

 

It happened in Pride and Prejudice – an instant response to someone that was channeled into "I can't stand that person" when really it was more like "I'm obsessed with that person" and then "Wow, I LOVE that person."  You know the feeling.  The antagonism smothered by unresolved sexual tension (UST!) or maybe even lemony goodness.  Banter and animosity serving as masks for attraction. 

The Love/Hate fics.  They drive us nuts but we can't stay away!

Share with the Campers of ADF your favorite Love/Hate stories.  AH or AU, all ratings and all pairings welcome.  Bring on the antagonism and the UST. We want them all!

Remember, the Forest is compiling lists upon lists of fic categories you can use for your own purposes or to recommend stories to a friend. Just check out the MASTER FIC LIST to see what we have already compiled and what is on the way.

Don't forget the Rules of the Campfire:  Keep your rec simple and No discussions.

 

My rec will be within, as always.

 

Thank you for sharing your favorite Love/Hate fics around the campfire!

That rhymed. But....ugh. Thoughts?

So Rob is in Lubbock, Texas now and every red-blooded Texas Tech gal was outside the restaurant:

Road trip continues with Tom and ______ (anyone know?  Sam?).

The question is:  Where will he turn up next?  He has at least one more stop before New Orleans where Kris and her coochie await, unless they are taking turns driving all night.  Posting this manip again, 'cause it's too fun.

CAMPERS the blessing and the curse has just been updated...I haven't read it yet actually, I was so excited I just wanted to let u guys know:D

I know that lots of campers love Philadelphic's Canzone de Bella Cigna, but we don't talk about it much 'round these parts.  

Since the first chapter of Act 3 came down tonight, and I am stunned yet again by how damn good this fic is, I decided it was time for an appreciation campfire.

Let's talk about how much we luuuuuuuv this fic, 'kay?  

I almost forgot to post this again! The day off work threw me. I think I need to set a reminder or something!  - kalejay

Welcome to the Monday Request Campfire!

 

I'm a ADF newbie. Just wanted to dip my feet in and say hello. HELLO! I also wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all the cool mystery ADF'ers that have been showing my story Edroar the Angry Lion some love. It means so much to me. YAAY! I have no idea what I'm doing as usual...thanks to ssarrahh1 and Themys for showing me the ropes. They have the patience of a saint. I've been dying to come on here but had no clue where to go or what to do. Now I'm here to stay. You can't get rid of me now. *snickers*

So, I've been jonesing for a New Moon fic fix.  I've read several good ones and am in the mood for more.  Does anyone have any more suggestions for me?  One shots are fine also.  Oh, and canon couples only please.  Thanks in advance!

 

Here are a few off the top of my head I have read:

Seducing Ms. Swan

Irritable Grizzly Adams (fantastic if you haven't read it)

Distractions (WIP)

Choices

 

A pretty for your time.

I am absolutely livid right now. As some of you may know, I am currently working in the Middle East on a tiny but pretty modern Island.

You see, there is some political unrest here, but none that us expats really get affected by. As an American, I have never really felt any repurcussions of any thing that happens...until....NOW...

I was extremely happy to find two great updates in my inbox - The Cannabean Betrothel [which I did get to read the update for in the forest, so thanks, ADF] and Secret, Lies and Family Ties...nothing like a spankin' new update from one of your fav. fics at the end of a long, hard day.

Imagine my frustration, when I tried to access Fanfiction.net and came to know that the site has been BLOCKED by the Ministry of one thing or another!!!!

I am so upset right now.

Fanfiction has been one of the essential ways for me to fight off homesickness and relax.

I know I can still read fics in ther forest, but this is just annoying and I really hate the idea of censorship - especially, in this case where I definitely don't feel that such a drastic action is neccessary - it's just a fic about E and B...not some call to revolutionize the gov...amiright?

 

This sucks.

I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts/feelings about this. Even if it's just to tell me to calm down and stop being a big baby.

*Permission to create campfire granted by the very awesome, WTVOC*

the buffy watchalong continues

the labor day edition; episodes 3, 4, and 5

links to watch elsewhere inside the campfire

yes, that means you have to be registered

henceforth, all links will be contained within

About 3 things, I was (mostly) pretty sure:

1) This morning as I slept in, I had dreams that basically replicated some of the closing chapters for littlesecret84's Age of Consent (available in full here on ADF, folks). WEIRD but SUPER COOL. Has fanfiction ever seeped into your dreamspace?

2) I have psychic powers when it comes to Twi fanfic updates. Every so often, I'll think to myself, self, I haven't heard from that one story in awhile. I wonder... and then I'll carry on my way, but the story will update in the next day or two. SO AWESOME. Shout-outs to all the authors that updated today and yesterday, you're making things really groovy for those of us stuck at home for the long weekend!

3) Watched the first Twi movie last night. I don't watch the movies obsessively, nor have I read the books since I discovered fanfic, but that was the first time I've watched the movie since I visited Forks last spring.

I was able to pick out the little differences, like, the school doesn't really look like that, and it's a bit smaller than it seems in the film, and the restaurant in Port Angeles looks different... but... the Forks signs (city and the school) are exactly like they were in person, and the Pacific northwest is so gd beautiful, and god, I just smiled all the way through that movie. Sure, looking back, in hindsight, Rob looks like an insane Ronald McDonald with the bouffant and over sculped eyebrows, but I LOVE IT ANYWAY (in spite of/because of the oddities).

I want to go back to Forks. I knew I wanted to go back before, but watching the movie just reinforced it... With a lot of campers each contributing small amounts of money, we should be able to buy some property in Forks so that we could have somewhere to stay and hang out, Y/Y??

Yeah, so I'd love to go on a road trip with these guys:

The kids and husband and I drove from San Francisco to L.A. (with a stop in Carmel) and over to Phoenix.  I love the scenery of the American west.  Did a drive across the northern top of Arizona a couple years ago, too.  Stunning!

Anyone do a fabulous road trip this summer?  If not Rob, with whom did you go?  

And has there been a 'Road Trip fic' recommendation campfire yet?  Maybe there should be.

I nicked that fun manip and map off of someone posting at Pattinsonlife, credit to BraGirl2 and patronuska, whoever they are!

Approved by ranger Capricorn75!

So I've just finished Mockingjay. I'm sad it's all over.

Anyone got any book suggestions to fill the gap?

I LOVE ARI GOLD.

apparently, robert pattinson is set to be on Entourage on September 12th.  I AM HAVING A STROKE.

he is supposedly going to cameo as himself....playing Ari's most difficult client ever.

DIVA ROB AND ARI GOLD.
