So, I've been gone for a while (lurking here and there). My husband was deployed and I was planning a vow renewal ceremony with the whole nine yards since we didn't have it the first time around. Then moved back to the hell hole we are stuck in til the military sends him somewhere else. 

Anyways, since I've came back I can't really get back into fan fiction and I'm hoping you lovely ladies (and men) can help me out. 

Give me your fan fics that would make you come back every time. 

And to make it a little more interactive, have any of you ever drifted from fan fic and tried to come back?

FYT

Edit 

I will read absolutely anything you guys will give me. AH, AU, whatever. And I love angst. 

Sorry I forgot to mention earlier.

Has anyone read any of the books lately? Or anytime after your love for the books deflated?

I'm only asking because last night I decided to crack open Twilight after a more than a year of being neglected. I couldn't sleep, and...well, it was glaring at me from it's spot on one of the shelves.

Anyway, I don't remember Twilight being funny. I remember it being the most boring out of all them. But reading it again I'm, like, laughing, and smiling (and rolling my eyes a bit, too). And, now that I'm not obsessed with Edward anymore, I'm not smiling because of him. Bella has a humor, and Edward can't seem to teasing her, which makes her snap and get irritated at him pretty frequently.

Does anyone remember this the first, or even second time you've read it?

Because I don't. At all. Am I the only one who was too, eh, mystified by Edward to actually pay attention to the story?

But I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can read "Emancipation Proclamation" and should I bother to???

This thread is totally self-serving, but I hope you'll muddle through it. 

So, I've just finished my 3rd full length fic and I'm already feeling the loss. I've poured my heart and soul into it for months and now it's over. I've loved these characters and how they've developed. I'm feeling sad. 

I've moved on to the next project, but new stories are hard for me. I struggle with the plot and worry that it won't be as good as the last story. Does everyone go through that?

Anyway, I thought you guys might check it out now that it's done? 

A World Away

Summary: Bella thinks military men are arrogant womanizers. That is, until she meets Edward, a hot and unpredictable Navy SEAL who quickly deploys for six months. Will he change her mind or leave her brokenhearted? Rated M for language and lemons. BxE.

Thanks for indulging me! I'm totally sad! 

ok so, i have to share this story with everyone because i LMFAO when i heard it. (and yes it's twilight related)

i have this co-worker, she knows of Twilight but doesn't know really anything about the movies or the books. she just knows that a few of us at work are fans and she heard all of us talking about how we were going to go watch Eclipse.

apparently she thought we meant an ACTUAL Eclipse. the night of the midnight release she went out in her front yard in her PJs and stood out there waiting for an Eclipse. when her husband asked what she was doing she just said she was waiting for the eclipse to happen and i guess her hubby and his friends looked at her like she was nuts. it wasn't until she texted her cousin that she learned that everyone had been talking about the movie. i think she stood outside for a good 15-20 minutes. 

i'm pretty sure we made her retell the story to everyone at work. 

anyone have any funny/embarrassing twilight related stories? i'm bored. entertain me plz. 

FYT (a funny yet terrifying BD manip. omg, i can't wait for more of these as we get closer to the movie. oohhh...we could turn this into a bad manip campfire. i've discovered TONS of them. ok so just tell me a story or give me a bad manip. i'm really really bored. kthnxloveyabai.)

I'm excited! I placed an order with Amazon.de last week and got my books today. 

I got this:

... which is New Moon in German. I do like the German titles, as they are a play on words.  "Biss zum Mittagsstunde" literally is translated as "Bite until Noon", but the word bis (with just one s) means "until".  So the title really should be "Until Noon", but instead they throw the "bite" in there. Personally, I think it's funny.  I can't wait to start reading it!

I also got these, and I'm excited for them too:

Has anyone else ever read the Twilight books in another language? If you have, have you enjoyed them?

Trailer for Kristen's movie - Welcome To The Riley's

Being from across the pond I have yet to see Eclipse but I was wondering...

Is it anything like this wonderful trailer?

I have compleatly lost the plot of the story I have been working on....

What do you guys do when you lose the plot of your story or get writers block?

Have you ever started a story and then lost interest in finishing it?

So someone interviewed SM and they wound up hearing about the shellshocked version of BD from an exhausted, punchy writer. 

I think it's great.

If you want to read the interview, scroll to the end to find out the insanity that is Breaking Down -- SM's own private fanfic/parody/crackfic of how it could have ended.

Then tell me... is Stephenie co-opting on someone else's fanfic?

She does have things to say about how she hopes FF writers can move on from writing stuff they can't own and will write their own original stories.  I think she's being positive and supportive, though. Not naysaying the fanficking universe.

Thoughts?  Who's got original pieces in progress?  

Can't remember the name of a story? Have a little information but not a lot? Remember what Edward did for a living or that the Bella was amazing?

Here is the place for forgetful campers to not be ashamed of their flighty brains!

Tell us everything you know and we can help!

It's the Thursday Amnesia Campfire!

I'm a tad bored at the moment, so let's play a game!

Harper's Bazaar Outtakes

omg its been forever since ive started a campfire. hi rangers :)

Team Edward Represent

Alright...my sister-in-law sent me this music video this morning.  I finally got a chance to sit down and watch it and Oh...mah...gawd.  I LOLd.

So, I've been waiting all week for it, but I can't wait anymore. I need your help! 

I am looking for a story where Bella is adopted by the Cullens and Edward is blind. His brother is Emmett. They live in Seattle I think and then move to phoenix.

If you are looking for a fic and can't find it I will help you. But in no way I'm trying to take over our lovely Rangers.

Here is for your time.

So, I just finished up season 2 of True Blood (yesssss, I'm a little behind), and have decide that THIS MAN:

Is pretty much the hawtest, most awesome sauce vampire out there in existence.  Even his name is hawt and awesome and sounds like ominous thunder when you say it: GODRIC!!!!

While some of his stunning attractiveness stems from his sexy primal tattoos, smooth skin, and stoic badass-ness, a large contribution is the actor Allan Hyde:

Who possesses boy-in-my-attic good looks.

And who can apparently sing.

And who is dressed as a duck for some inexplicable reason. (I'd still do him.)

So, campers, which True Blood hawtie does it for you? Whyyyyy?

I was looking through last night's pimp campfire and I noticed something that has become a trend. After the first hour or so that the campfire is up, people start mentioning that they are "late". I understand that it is wonderful being in the top fifty of a thread like that, but really, people FAVORITE these threads so they can go back to them when they want something to read. In other words, theoretically you could add to the Pimp all week and people will still see it. Many thanks to kagen_mo who mentioned this in the campfire today.

From the Wednesday Pimp Campfire:

Favoriting is EASY, just click on the heart and the campfire will be added to your favorites in the campfire drop down menu. You can then look at it at your leisure. 

ALSO, people have been coming to me with great ideas for campfires that would fit this "Favoriting" concept well. Campfires about each characters best fics, campfires about genres, Campfires featuring Rob's various hairstyles and many other ideas that are presumably "timeless".

Which begs the question:

Which type of Campfire Do You or Would You Favorite??
