This is a very short tale.

I drove to San Diego to meet up with some of the good folks flocking in for the Twilight fanfiction panel at COMICON!

I got to town around midday and ended up lunching with several peeps: H Monster, ElleCC, theHeartofLife, Daisy, someone named Jen who rather hilariously sat right next to me so I kept looking up when H talked to her, Jen's sister, MJ!, an Aussie who lives in NYC but whose name I never caught because I'm awful, a pretty lady with glasses, and another pretty lady with armcandy. I took some photos, but I never post pics of people without their permission, so too bad for you.

We drank. We ate. We lingered. Then I had a spazz attack over leaving my car parked in the lot any longer because it would cost a fortune to pay the parking, so we decided to split up. I ACTUALLY HAD TO PHONE HMONSTER FROM THE PAY KIOSK AND ASK FOR $2 BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH CASH MONEY! oh the shame :(

So once I got my car out of jail, I drove a few blocks and parked at a meter & went to STARBUCKS so I could use the INTERNET and get some work done, but then I never heard from the triumphant visitors again, so I figured they were either having all the fun or all the sleep.

So I drove back to LA.

Here is a photograph of my lunch!

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DAY OR SOMETHING.

so its still friday for us west coasters and one thing has been on my my lately.

how so many little things in fics bug me.

1. over use of the pet name love. especially in ah fics. its fine if he is a old vampire but it bugs me when he is just  like a 20 year old guy and calls bella love like 80 million times.

how about calling her babe. or hun. idk

2. edward pulling bella into his lap when she is upset. this is overused way to many times. and i just cant picture him literally pulling her into his lap unless he is like, a body builder or something.

i could see him pulling her into his side, or something, but lifting her into his lap? thas just a little over doing it...

What LITTLE things in fics bug you?

not things that make you flounce, or super obvious things, just things that make you internally cringe.

The concept is some what foreign to me... I have been working on trying to do a fluff o/s and apparently it's not working as I've just been told it's angsty. Pfft, i don't think it is but...

So what is fluff?

WHAT THE FRICK IS DIAPERWARD?!?!?!

I keep hearing weird comments and remarks - and not just on here - about diaperward... 

Can someone please explain to me what this is and why everyone thinks it's kinda horrible?

Just to give this a little more life what's one of your pet-peeves about FanFiction?  Do you hate it when an author gets half-way through and drops it?  When they add unnecessary drama so it can go on for 10 more chapters?  When it's too short?  Too long?  When they say the same word at least 15 times in one paragraph?

What makes you just want to scream "Screw it!" and close the window?

Let's help the guy yeah?Wouldn't awesome to participate in something like this? What are your thoughts on this?

Okay fellow campers, my mind is completely blown away right now. I just got back from seeing Inception which was amazing, and not just because I've carried a torch for Joseph Gordon-Levitt for forever. The graphics, the story, the freakin' suspense, just all of it. I was on the edge of my seat, practically screaming at the screen, with my hands waving madly all over the place the entire movie. The ending was just I can't even find a word for it because my brain is mush.

So have you seen it? Did you love it, hate it, didn't care?

Also have any other movies just completely blown you out of the water? Which ones and why?

I was checking out a spoof on Inception (see below) when I found this New Moon spoof:  Check these share your favorite spoofs too

 

And some hot boys for your trouble.

Happy Friday Everyone!

So I'm about to start my final year of college and I'm gearing up for my "big girl job." Lately I've been feeling like I'm having (as you can see from my title) a life crisis at the age of 22. I am really nervous that I'll be stuck in a job based on my major that I will absolutely hate and it has me worried.

To make this interactive with all of you- How many of you are currently working in jobs that directly relate to your college degree? Are there any other campers out there that are feeling like their major of choice wasnt the right one?

Just so you all know, I'm currently an accounting major. Lately I have been trying to think of the type of jobs I'll eventually start applying for and I feel like most of my interests have little to do with number crunching. Basically I am to the point where I'm having difficulties even knowing what I REALLY enjoy doing.. maybe its part of growing up and trying to find out exactly who you are? (cue the emo music here ladies!)

I appreciate all of your inputs in advance!
 

The lovely Ssarrahh1 and I believe that this man rules. 

We also believe that he deserves his own campfire. 

So come inside and share your favorite Chuck facts, jokes, or pictures!

Not a Chuck fan?

Share pics of another Pop Culture Icon. 

This is an I Love Chuck Post. 

Welcome wonderful forest friends, to our brand spanking new Weekly Karaoke Campfire. I'm excited, are you?

Let's give a warm round of applause for Ichimpz & Emibella for making this happen. So because we all had so much fun last week, Ichimpz was awesome enough to try make it a weekly FFFA thing. And Emibella is awesomer (It's a word now) for letting it happen :D SO THANK-YOU AGAIN.

The lovely Ichimpz & I will be taking turns hosting this here shindig. She was supposed to start it off tonight, but unfortunately she will be/is/was on the road. So you'll be stuck with me (hope you don't mind * flutters eyelashes *)

So, because this is OFFICIALLY our first OFFICIAL karaoke campfire, we'll start off like we did last week. For those that had the misfortune of not being able to join in, what we'll do is, if you have a request, make it in BIG BRIGHT COLOURS. You can request someone specific to sing, or just leave it out there for us to fight over. Also feel free to sing whatever you wish. Record your lovely singing voices on this http://vocaroo.com/ please also add a link for those that can't access vocaroo.

There is no limit to this fun, so c'mon everybody LET'S PARTY

omg, Scarletoctopus and i want a brit pack appreciation post because we think they're pretty

and by brit pack we mean the ones that matter: tomstu, rpattz, and eddie redmayne AKA flesh-colored lips boy!

(i love you tomstu)

(youre cute)

you have flesh-colored lips but are otherwise cute...

creepin....

okay now spam the comments or we'll feel like losers

also, i like joseph gordon-levitt so he's acceptable too.

and other british guys too because scarletoctopus is british which causes her to watch a lot of period dramas.

So...who didn't see this one coming?

All right, picky readers.  You know who you are.  (You, over there! Can I make you cringe by saying that there really sad about they're best friends moving over their? Do contrived angst and schmaltzy sentimentality make you vomit a little in your mouth?)  

I want to know which fics have been owning you for the last couple of weeks.  

Mine: 

Osa Bella: Original twist on oft-visited AU themes + unrelenting dramatic tension + great writing 

A Garment of Brightness: Writing so gorgeous and characterizations so satisfying that I'd follow the story anywhere it goes (Honestly.  I'd read through schmaltzy buttsecks if this woman wrote it.)

Yours??  Do share, please.  And sell us a little on your recs!

Ok this is my first campfire, ooh I'm nervous.

Anyway, usually I am hardcore canon with my pairings, and like love stories/fics whatever.

Lately though I've really been wanting to read non-canon, debauchery, raunchy fun, no angst fics, that don't focus on just one "couple"

Do these exist? Please recc me anything in the way of that, I only remember that one by Jandco awhile ago, but it ended up a love story, I really just want to read something different, and lighter. Just sexy, hot, fun. Help?

2 part post

Part 1:

So I tried Nutella for the first time about a month ago and I thought it was okay, I didn’t really know how to eat it. Then, someone here at the forest mentions making graham cracker sandwiches with it and putting them in the fridge. Well I tried it, I loved it and before I knew it I was eating Nutella by the spoonful. In the last 10 days my sister and I have gone through 3 jars and 2 boxes of graham crackers. I really should ban it from the house but instead I will ask that you give me new ways to eat it. Come share your Nutella stories, I want to know what you thought the first time you tried it, your favorite recipes and have you gotten others hooked on it.

A co worker mentioned Giada using Nutella in her recipes, I will post some of the more interesting ones in the comments.

Part 2:
Has anybody here ever eaten Duvalins they are a Mexican candy that comes in three flavors strawberry, Vanilla and HAZELNUT and the texture is a thick crème like peanut butter. The Hazelnut crème is chocolate colored. Sound familiar?

Nutella = a giant Duvalin. Now I know why I’m hooked!
 

I belong to this facebook page that updates, and gives out amazing recs on fics. One of the recs was Unbounded Love. I was bored one day and decided to give it a go, and now I can say that it has stolen my heart! The chapters are pretty long, im looooving the multiple POVS (let you know who both edward and isabel are feeling!) lots lots lots of Alice, jasper, rose and emmett!

Not to mention that it has an original plot. I've read hundreds of Twilight FF, but none of them like this.

The authoer should pay me for this ad!! hahahaha..

Mara!
