There are Awards for vampires, AH stories, even for the wolf-pack, but one-shots are always forgotten, we felt like we needed to create this to give the recognition the best Twilight one-shots around the fandom deserved.

There will be 3 rounds in this contest. We'll call them Cullen Round, Wolfpack Round , and Volturi Round . The names of the rounds don't mean that you can only nominate one-shots about the Cullens, or the Wolfpack, or Volturi. It's just a name for the rounds. There are categories in each round, right now we're in the first round still. 

Here's the link: http://thesingleshotawards.blogspot.com/.

So head on over and nominate!

Oh, and if your interested, you could join the Validation Team, we have a lot of stories to look over.

That's right, put on your party hats and pop the champagne!

ITS BRATTYVAMPS BIRTHDAY!!!!

In honor of this happy event, let's spam the little bratty vamp with LOTS OF LOVE and FANTASTIC PICTURES!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg it's Tuesday and I get to start my first KStew Tuesdays campfire!

Okay, so once a week I'm going to devote a campfire to something I love about Kristen Stewart. I didn't come up with this idea--blame our lovely VIP, ciaobella27. She may not love Kristen with the passion and intensity that I do, but it's okay, she's awesome, and she suggested devoting each week to a different part of Kristen. I decided to start with Kristen's eyes, because legs would be too obvious, and as much as I love her legs, her eyes are one of her best features. And her facial expressions... ahh! Ugh, I guess I should devote an entire week to her facial expressions.

ANYWAY, I'm going to shut up before this campfire gets really creepy and weird.

So what do I want from my fellow Campers? Your favorite pictures of Kristen's eyes. And if you want to throw in gifs, interviews, pics of her legs, nose, throat, butt, GO RIGHT AHEAD. Do you miss Rob? Show me some Rob. He also has BEAUTIFUL eyes. TomStu? Fuck, Tom has nicer eyes than both Kris and Rob. Taylor? I love him! Billy Burke?! His eyes are sex! I don't care what you do. I'm bored, so play with me. Include something about yourself, because I've been here for a while but haven't met a lot of new people, and I WANT TO MEET YOU GUYS.

I don't want to spam the main page with pics, so my compilation is in the first comment! It's coming up in a few. For now, stare at this:

Whilst cleaning out my documents, I came across a ton of fics I started, or completed, that never quite got posted for various reasons.  And then I thought to myself...I'd like to see this.  But I don't want to put the work in.  And this got me thinking this MUST be the case for many others.  And then I thought to myself i see a lot of "I don't write fic, but I have this plot idea..."

so.

Do you have something, a plot idea, a few paragraphs of a story you never saw through that you'd like to share?  Maybe someone can offer some ideas, or someone will pick up your idea.  At the same time, if you don't fancy yourself a fic writer but have a plot you'd like to share, post it and maybe someone will write it.

post ONLY IF you don't mind someone else offering advice or using your idea.  You can specify if you're looking for advice or for someone to take your stuff over--but please keep in mind this is a public board, so if someone is not nice and snatches it...they just will.

But, play fair and nice.  If we do, it could be fun AND productive. 

Video: Al-Qaida Calls Off Attack On Nation's Capitol To Spare Life of Twilight Author

Hello campers!! Morning to y'all!! :)

So.. it's a horrible cold day today here! :( I'm sick in bed and have lots to study, either way I need a distraction right now! :)

I need a rec!! :)

One small one-shot, and I mean small! Something you can read in less than 30 minutes? Can you help me out?

Thank you to y'all! :D

This is the time when things are quiet in the larger Twi-fandom.  It's just after the release of one big film.... nothing going on in the Twi-film world for a while.  The actors are all busy with other projects.... no real drama taking place.  But this doesn't mean there isn't NEWS... so I'm laying it all here in one convenient place...

ROBERT PATTINSON RECORDING AN ALBUM

We know he's musical, and we love when his long dexterous fingers strum a guitar and tickle the keys of a piano.  Maybe we'll get more of that?  Rob told Paris Match he's thinking of recording with his sister, Lizzie:

"I’m seriously thinking of doing music with my sister. It’s a project that should be done before the end of the year."

Yay!  I look forward to this!

~~

ROB vs. Courtney Love?  Not really...

Okay... do you remember months ago there were these rumors about Rob possibly playing Kurt Cobain and twitter exploded and the internet basically killed itself for about 20 minutes?  Well Coutney Love went off saying stuff like "it would be 'stupid' to cast Pattinson in the role"... and..."it would have been 'ridiculous' for him to play the part."

This was A WHILE AGO..ok..

So evidently either Rob is just now hearing of this, or he made these comments back then and they're just NOW coming out.  His reaction:

"Sometimes these things just appear. I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much - I'd be embarrassed....And you see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying 'What the f*ck! He's totally wrong for it', and I'm like, 'I f*cking said no, you d*ck!' I didn't get offered it. For one thing, I'm too tall, and I can't sing like him, I'm nothing like him' It's ridiculous."

So last night on Twitter... Coutney Love said this to Perez Hilton...

@PerezHilton i know! i read it and i felt so bad! ( re RPatz) he does positively shimmer doesnt he>? er but the fact is i dont HAVE a"d*ck"

and

@PerezHilton as a former movie star i know the rules, you really arent allowed to be calling anyone " a d*ck" as a movie star.

and

@PerezHilton on the other hand he couldve called me a "p*ssy" and then id be REALLY mad! im not mad i just feel bad i hurt his feelings!

Aww Courtney... I was hoping for a fight.  She's just too nice these days :(

~~

THE SUMMER HOUSE!!

ROB's short film THE SUMMER HOUSE is available for download on iTunes today.

Download HERE (i think that works idk)

From MTV:  "First-time director Daisy Gili said she actually cast Rob because she was recommended him by Campbell Mitchell, who had worked on props for another of his early projects, The Haunted Airman. 'He said, this guy is amazing, and he's really nice, and I think he'd be really up for working on a short film,' Gili told MTV News. 'I saw a picture of him and I thought, he's fantastic.'"

~~

In NON-Rob news...

THE RUNAWAYS will be available on DVD next week.  You can get it now for $14.99 on iTunes a full week before its official July 20th release date.

This is good for me, I haven't seen it yet.

ANNA KENDRICK IN GLAMOUR MAGAZINE

She is featured in the "Women of the Year" July issue.

“And the first time I met Robert Pattinson, I kept thinking, ‘Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter!’ He never got his guitar out on set, but always carried a beaten-up book, like an English poet.”

LOVE her!

From Eclipsemovie.org:

The Harry Potter Alliance has been hard at work trying to earn the votes necessary to score $250,000 in cash for very worthy goals through a competition Chase is running currently.

We’re teaming up with common fandom to support this effort, and encourage you to vote: the HP Alliance is neck-in-neck for first place, and if they succeed they can expand their effort of donating books (55,000 already) to communities in need, support LGBT rights and if all goes well, also form an online coalition of fan sites such as ours to encourage efforts to help with places in need in the future, such as Haiti where the Alliance has already raised a great deal of money on its own.

The voting process is simple and will take mere minutes:

* Go to the voting page on Facebook and follow the directions to vote for the Harry Potter Alliance
* Vote soon, as voting ends at midnight tonight and the HP Alliance is neck-in-neck for first place

~~

You are now informed!!  Have a great Tuesday!

SOURCE for pretty much everything

RANGER EDIT:

For those of you looking for The Summer House download on iTunes...

iTunes is aware there is a problem~ "technical difficulties" ~ and they are working to fix it.  That's all I know for now.

i really really am in a mood to read a fic where edward is a real meanie to bella before of course they fall in love hahaha...

any recommendation??? pretty please : )

Good morning!

Yesterday, we started an AU - Lemony Goodness fic rec list powered by all of your enormous FAVORITES lists, I'm sure!

Today, let's jump over to CANON FICS.

Canon means that it is true to the characterizations, plot iterations and suppositions written by Stephenie Meyer in the original four books (plus Midnight Sun, since it came from her mind) of the Twilight Saga.

Canon can be PRE-TWILIGHT as well as POST-BREAKING DAWN, as long as the above-mentioned standards apply.  (I.e. Fics where Edward is changed by Carlisle per his stated history is canon. Fics where Edward was involved with Bella in 1918 is not canon.)

For this list, BRING THEM ALL.  All ratings, all types of story (romance, fluff, angst, one-shots, whatever)

Rules of the Campfire:

1.  No pimpage.  Just the title, link, author and author's summary/story info as listed in FFn, Twilighted, TWCS, LJ blog, wherever.

2.  No discussion.  This is just supposed to be a list, not a regular rec campfire.

Remember to punch that heart if you want to find this thread again!  You are TOTALLY welcome to add to it at any time in the future!

My first recs are within. 

Thanks so much for compiling a list of FOREST FIC RECS! :)  

~LJ

Often times when I get excited about a story I make a banner for it. I usually just keep it for myself but my question is this: Authors, what are your thoughts on some one sending you a banner they made for your story? Does it kind of weird you out? Or are you flattered?

Also, show me your favorite banners! 

I adore the one for HL5.

Comic-Con 2010 Programing Dilemmas

I just got back from a fabulous Vegas vacation where I bought these:

And I randomly met and had drinks with a star of one of my all time favorite daytime soaps (he been on two of my favs to be exact), I will post that pic in the comments section because, well, I'm in it and I don't want to subject anyone to a pic of me if I can avoid it.  But more even more exciting than probably one of my most favorite Vegas vacations I have ever been on (and I've gone at least 25 times in 10 years) I can not wait to attend my second

So no Twilight Saga Panel this year BUT Melissa Rosenberg will be on a panel and the Twilight fan-fiction panel is Saturday.  I'm studying my program guide harder than I did for any school exam right now.  If I go to the Twilight fan fiction panel I likely would not make it into hall H for Harry Potter.  The Psych panel is at the same time as the panel for the new Charmed Comic book.  I have to practically campout subjecting myself to panels I don't care about in Ballroom 20 all day for the Joss Wheadon panel on Friday and for the Glee panel Sunday. 

Decisions, Decisions.  For those of you going what panels are your must haves?  For those of you not going what should I try to ask Melissa if I can get into that panel? 

I am so excited for this!

Going through the before v. afters of essentially all of the Twilight cast members, I found out that Jackson is the one that changed drastically. Don't gte me wrong - I love the guy to death. But he was just so adorable before Twilight (OC, Beautiful People) and even after Twilight. But at some point, he decided to work on facial expressions as well as hair (which was FINE before).... dear god, help us all.

Before:

After:

A few months ago I finished my first serious attempt at fan fic writing.  Now that time has passed, I realized that I rushed to finish and would've probably taken it in another direction if I had more patience.

So, my question to you experienced fan fic writers is...

Can you revise your story once it's completed?  Or should what's done be done and move on?

ok.  so some of you might remember a long time ago, i started a campfire with the idea that adf would author a fic all together and things would be harmonious and lovely and serene and we'd all have this massive one shot that we wrote and YAY.

well.

i finished piecing it together 3 days after that fire was posted.

to say the very best...it still isn't too cohesive.  everyone submitted WONDERFUL passages...and then the idea was for me to take these passages and make a cohesive story out of 'em.

um.  i'm not claiming brilliance or even semi-coherent crack fic here...but i have it just the same.

the chicks on twitter busted me and called me out...so here it is.
