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!

Try to be the first person to reply with the correct answer!

Person who gets the most right wins bragging rights!

LET'S ALL HAVE SOME FUN!!!

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??

ummmm.....

at least she used you're instead of your? lol

There are many wonderful fanfics in the Twilight fandom, but there are very few that actually OWN me. Like, every time I see an update from these specific stories, I literally hiss "YES!" and fist pump.

Right now, two WIP's own me:
For The Summer by camoozle
and
Paper CutOuts by twisted coincidence and astilbe13

I'm so frustrated by the fact that they don't share my obsession with their stories and update every day (preferably every hour). I'm upset by the fact that these fics will eventually end. I feel like I'll have nothing left to live for once they're done! It's ridiculous!

So, which fics totally own your soul right now?

Twilight obsession leads to biting trend?

And then I was like..o.k..little nips i get...but are they talking about someone actually breaking the skin?? (I.e..drinking blood)

Let's Discuss...

Nawwwww look at them! Such a cute pair.



Saucey

*wipes brow* Is it getting hot in here or is it me?...

 Let's talk Comic Con 2010...

Are you going?  If so - where are you staying?

VIP authors ElleCC, Giselle-LX and I will be participating in a panel on Saturday am at 10...are you going to come heckle us?

Have you done the con before? If so, any insights to share?

I'm still coming down off the fact that I will be in the same area as this guy:

I won't fan girl - but a handshake would be cool. 

An arm around the shoulder during pics would be even better :)
