Hi Forest Dwellers! Happy Friday!!

I need some help please!!

My best friend convinced me it would be fun to sign up to Twitter so we can follow people whose lives are more exciting than our own and I finally gave in and did it!

The only problem is I haven't got the foggiest clue how to work it?!

Can anyone offer me a quick fire guide on how to use Twitter? What are the basic  things I need to know?!

Any advice would be muchly appreciated!

Jaw porn for your time....

I know its wrong and Im sorry, but.........This movie is hilarious!!!!!!!! Watch trailer below!!!!

Hilarious!!!!!!!!

 What did you think of the latest tearjerker update?

I get so caught up in this fic, i have to keep reminding myself its only fiction.

If you haven't read it you should check it out but if you have a problem with rough sex, drug use, crude language, cutting, death, or step moms fucking their step sons.. then its not for you.

AH,OOC, LEMONS He is always aware of where she is and what she is doing. Bella makes sure that Edward's eyes are only on her...grabbing his attention every chance she can. She is in need of constant allegiance...its fucked but works for them.
Twilight - Rated: M - English - Romance/Hurt/Comfort

This song is perfect for this fic

Hello!!!!! Thank You everyone who wrote down a suggestion fo a story, your awsome!!!!! I read all of the stories you guys threw at me and I cant say i was dissapointed. All of them were amazing especially Broken Doll and Elemental! But it is now time for more, give me more, I need more!!!!!!!!! Wow i have a serious problem. Maybe I should go fanfictioners anonymous. Anyhoo, I want stories were Bella has powers, or is some sort of mythical creature. It can be anything from a mermaid and a goddess, I dont know amaze me. Something like Broken Doll or Elemetal for example, if you know those stories.

Thank You guys so much!!!!!!!!

                                                                  Your annoying Emmett addict,

Yes I will admit it I am a youtube junkie.... seriously my time is spent either here in the forest, on facebook, reading fic, or on youtube.

I have this weird obsession with listening to covers that people do of songs that I like. There have been more than a few that I like but there is one that I am in LOVE with... I could go to his channel page and listen to every cover that he has done over and over not that I have or anything

here's one of them

No, this is not a campfire about anything having to actually do with entitlement.

It has to do with titles, which is kind of my point.

Really.

With the utmost respect to all authors in the fandom and (who knows?) out there in the real world...

Titles.  To which fics/books/stories would you like to give a new title?

Could EDWARD WALLBANGER be renamed to GIVING GOOD WOO? (I loved that line from the last chapter, sorry!)

What about BREAKING DAWN?  Could it be titled FALSE DAWN instead?

Anyone?  (Bueller?)

I like to read fanfic off of other's recc's.  I just read banananapancakes7's "Thirty Days" because someone was looking for it in one of thoseannoyinglyfamous "Lost and Found" Campfires and I am SO glad I did!  I was also glad it was only four chapters because I couldn't put it down.

I know, I know, we hate "rec" fires that single only a certain few out...and already have official "Rec Fires" too, but I guess I  really enjoyed this and wanted to let the Newbies know that its "Smut-Without-Smut"...and you'll need to go read the stuff this author is putting out!  So I am claiming FFFA and putting this up!

Now for the interactive part,

WHAT FIC DID YOU READ OFF A REC AND LOVE

and

well, some of us like to talk about the negative or converse side of that question, and this is a free ADF and User-Generated, sooooo talk about what you will!

FFFA Approved* (and I didn't mean to steal the purple font so please don't kill me, ranger-that-shall-not-be-named...)

Hey there everybody!!! I just wanted to make an announcement. I'M WRITING A STORY!!!! For the first time, too. But it's not about Twilight. I'm not completely sure what it's about yet. But my main character's name is Nasaila. Something I came up with. Anyhoo, If you wanna check it out, I'll post the link in the comments. ENJOY YOUR FRIDAY!!!!!

P.S.- Do any of you write outside the fandom?

I'm a Twilight fan fiction junkie. I honestly can't get enough of them and I will completely admit that I am addicted. Having read 100's of them over the last few years, you of course run across a lot of them that have the same plots and that's okay because most of the time they all have different spins on them. But there is one storyline that I can not stand to read any longer. The fics where Edward knocks Bella up, he has to leave for whatever reason and Bella never tells him about the baby. I can not stand this Bella. Just the thought of someone doing that makes me rage. It's one of the most selfish things anyone can ever do. You have absolutely no right to do something like this. Making that kind of decision for someone. Whenever I come across these stories I either don't read or I skim them, because I hate this Bella and have zero sympathy for her. All I want is for Edward to never get back together with her and to sue her for full legal custody of his child LMAO.

So please explain to me the appeal of these types of stories. BTW, yes, I am reading "Secrets, Lies, & Family Ties," it's one of the few that I actually really enjoy.

And while you're at it, what are some storylines that you NEVER want to see in a fan fic again?

I'm on the hunt for some new books. I tend to like a series of books more then single books but either is fine. And I read more YA then "big girl books" but either is fine there too. Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight (naturally), Percy Jackson, Sookie Stackhouse and The Gargoyle are the books I either read recently or just reread all the times cause I love 'em. Any recommendation would be awesome. Thanks!

It's FRIDAY FREE FOR ALL!

(as ladyinblue6 pointed out just below!!)

What does this mean?

Well, you can post OFF-topic campfires without approval!

Whatever you like, whenever you like!

Have fun with it Campers!!

Just keep it interative so the rest of us can play too!!

FFFA will continue until 5pm SATURDAY Eastern Standard Time (or -5 UST)

If I'm not mistaken, it's officially been FFFA for about half an hour.

SO. HERE I GO!

JERSEY SHORE. THAT'S WHAT'S UP.

So, who likes it? Who thinks it's ridiculous? Who wants to be a guido/guidette? Who WANTS a guido/guidette?

PUMPYOFISTS.

I've dissed JS since it came out. And then, last night, out of boredom, I started watching the show from the beginning. And then I listened to Pauly's song.

Let's just say they've grown on me. Especially little Snooki. Poor girl got hit in the face by a *badword* guy!

LET'S SHARE THE ITALIAN LOVEEEE.

We need to do this every now and then, don't we?

So here's the deal...

anything gross or disturbing you need to get off yer chest...

THIS IS YOUR CAMPFIRE

Have an embarrassing question?

ASK HERE...someone just might have the perfect answer!

NOTHING IS TOO PERSONAL, NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS.

THERE'S NO JUDGEMENT IN A GROWNASS CAMPFIRE!

and if you have no stomach for these sorts of things...this campfire isn't for you!

this is an 18 and over campfire---sry kids, and Sharif!

Here's my question:

Is there a situation where you've had sex, where normally it would be completely off-limits? (you know what i'm talking about--yeah i'm going there)

What's a situation where sex is an absolute NO-GO for you?

you've got me for an hour, folks...then hubs is dragging me to bed ;)

This is my first post and my first campfire, I'm a little nervous hope I'm doing it right. If I'm not feel free to delete my post. I'm have been looking for a fic for the past couple of days and I haven't found it so I thought I would see if any of you nice ladies could help me out.

Its a human fic Edward and Emmett are brothers.Edward and Bella are dating, Emmett makes a bet with Edward that he can't go a month without sex. Edward takes the bet, bella tries to get him to cave. The last chapter I remember reading last was they were all at the cullens for a party and Edward and Bella get in a big fight about the bet and then Edward asks her to marry him. Would really like to find it, if anyone could help me out that would be great!

That is all.

edited to add:

I'm starting a fic (a real multi chaptered fic!), and I was just wondering if I could get something like a fic buddy here?

Not necessarily a beta, but just someone to bounce ideas on/off of. Anyone willing?

=)

 (can i interest you in some jacksper p0rn?)

Something has been bothering me - hate showing up in fics.  I am not talking about hating Jasper X Bella or hating Jacob X Nessie stories. No, I am talking about when an author chooses to use offensive words or phrases that hold no importance to the plot of the story. 

It even bothers me more when an author who does this gets rave reviews for her other stories. Should we be applauding someone who doesn't care about the power of her words? This particular author used the phrase, "As tight as a Jew with a $100 bill," in one of her stories. It wasn't relevant to the plot and when I emailed about her use of such derogatory language, she laughed in my face.

It isn't just me. I mentioned this author in another campfire and another camper said that in yet another one of her stories she had read, this author used the term "the browns" to refer to African Americans.

So, what do you think? Would you read or continue reading a story by an author who uses such terminology in her writing? What would an author have to do to make you boycott her stories?

Some Rob for your time:

Even Rob is thinking about this...

remember the other day when I asked about your reading list? I promised a final read out...here it is....

Portion of faves/alerts AH: 71.4%

Portion of faves/alerts AU/Canon (Vamp):28.6%

Portion of faves/alerts M rated: 92.4%

Portion of faves/alerts T rated (or lower): 7.6%

I for one was surprised at just how large the skew was towards AH...if I dropped out a few of the big vamp readers - the AH % went up to 75%

Which leads me to my next set of questions....

1. With all the stories out there...what genres or concepts have you not found that you would LOVE to see?  I for one am on a huge mystery/suspense kick these days (along with a good dose of Em).

2. I've found that writing with someone (in my case theheartoflife and profmom) totally changes the way I tell a story. Is there a concept you'd like to see, and who would you want to take it on/why?

3. What is the one thing you are tired off (not cliches...let's not go there). We are talking story lines (e.g. Edward never came back).  What has been done a thousand times, and deserves a long healthy life out in the pasture....

Let's hear it gang....I know you are FULL of opinions :)

I know many of you don't know me personally, so you wouldn't know that it takes a lot to get me down.  I usually live my life as a happy pixie and shrug off the bad.  Life has smacked me in the face with reality and I can't laugh it off for once.  I have been like this all day:

Why you may ask?  Work stress has finally cracked me.  I'm also dealing with the fact that my papa's (in my family we use papa as grandfather) cancer came back and its not looking good at all.  I haven't dealt with a death since 1994 which was my other papa.  I've cried about 5 times today because of everything breaking me for once.  

I know I don't know you lovely woman personally but your like my second family.  I'd like a pick me up I don't care what it is.  GIF~Song~Video~Story...whatever will do.

This has been approved by Capricorn75 (Thanks so much for this, this means a lot.) 

Okay, so I think it was a month ago that one of our awesome campers started a campfire where we all shared our voices, and left little messages to each other. It was lots of fun. I want to hear you guys again, but I decided to make things a little different this time.

SO...

I'm going to read a passage from my favorite fic, and you guys can guess the fic. And then you guys can read your favorite quotes, paragraphs, whatever, and we can discuss the stories, tell each other how awesome we sound, sing, chat, anything you want. Let's just get to know each other a little better. If you're shy and don't want to record anything, that's cool, just copy/paste the quote and we can still guess the story!

All you have to do is go on www.vocaroo.com and hit record or whatever the button is. IT'S REALLY EASY. Then share the recording with us in the comments.
