So, what do we think?

Personally i kinda love it, regardless of whether it was for a part. Definately an improvement on the mullet.

Enjoy the pretty! Couple more inside :-)

Robert Pattinson was decked out in Stussy gear for a meeting in LA yesterday with Dreamworks's Jeffrey Katzenberg. The Twilight actor had time off from working on Water for Elephants, but Rob still wasn't able to leave town to promote Eclipse. His castmates like Ashley Greene, Taylor Lautner, and Xavier Samuel, though, headed out of California over the weekend and went East to continue their press tours.

I'm nosy- I wanna know why he was meeting with Katzenberg!

Several of you know I have a...fetish...for Rob's upper lip. This pic is wreaking havoc with m'panties.

Do you write fan fiction?

Post excerpts from your upcoming chapters here!

Don't forget to include a link!

Add images and/or videos at your discretion!

Hey Ladies! It's a beautiful day in the Forest today. I've been pretty absent for the last six weeks, and it makes me very sad. Work blows.

While I want updates about the drama that has been ensuing in my absence, what I really want to hear about is the things you hate that take you away from the Forest. Does work occupy your time for hours on end? Does school suck all the fun out of your life? Do your kids need way more attention than should be allowed when all you wanna do is be on ADF?

Then, tell me what you would rather spend your days doing. Do you long to spend hours on the beach? Just want to sleep the day away? Or is it your dream to spend the day rolling around in the sack with Rob? Let me know what your dream day entails.

And finally, I want to leave you with some words of wisdom from Gaga. She knows her shit. “When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say, ‘Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today’.”

Tomorrow (Tuesday)

Me, PreferBrunettes, WTVOC, erica_lopeezy, AND WHO ELSE???????

Who else is coming to Hollywood at 9pm for the special early showing of Eclipse before anyone else on the West coast gets to see it?

Who else is coming to have a leisurely drink with me around 8:30ish rather than standing in line with a bunch of over-enthusiastic enthusiasts waiting for a seat in a midnight show?

The Forest is dancing and laughing and giddy!

Why you ask?

Because the lovely, hilarious, talented, mostly drunk Grownasswoman is now a Ranger!

No, you haven't had too much wine.  Yes, you read that right!  Grownasswoman is now an official Ranger on ADF. 

This means you have to obey her rules and you can ask her permission for off topic posts and do anything else you might do to a Ranger.

Come in, and let us celebrate Grownasswoman becoming a Grownass Ranger!

To say we're thrilled about this would be an understatement, and we know she is loved universally, so come on in, and love on her and welcome her into her new status.

Hi y'all!  So I decided to poke my head out of lurkdom for a bit and post my first campfire...

This past weekend was better than i can put into words. I saw Adam Lambert on Thursday and that was great and all.  But then Friday and Saturday I was up in Boston for TWLOHA's MOVE Community Conference.  The people I met there and the conference itself was the most amazing thing.  I highly recommend that anyone interested in TWLOHA's mission attend.

And then there's this ...

I was playing around with the new site. Trying to find some fics to read while up in Boston by myself this weekend. I'm not sure if it existed before but I just found the "unread chapters" list... ah, heaven. I love this! So many times I can't remember if I've read a story or not which leaves me skipping it and possibly missing out on something great. So if this is a new thing: GREAT JOB!!! If this is an old thing, well it's still great. ;)

For the interactiveness: Pick ONE story that is here on ADF that is a must read?

::running back to my corner now::

THIS makes me happy....

YOUR TURN...

Yea-I will just leave just leave this up for your viewing pleasure (or horror). 

Discuss things that make you do a double-take or say "WTF?"

Variety has reviewed Eclipse. I'll post it in the comments...see if David's reaction matches the review :)

Do you think reviews like this could have an effect, whether positive or negative, at the box-office, or will people see it anyway (or refuse to go near the whole phenomenon) no matter what the reviews say?

Anybody have any high school and/or summer recs???  They would be much appreciated :)!!!!!!!

Well, no, actually it's 2 knife cuts (my experiment to see what it would be like taking two fingertips off  - don't ask) anyway, honestly, this campfire is more about my self-imposed absence and my subsequent jealously at the Forest having carired on without me - so, in the interest of keeing me entertained and central to the universe I'd like you to post your videos of spoofs from the papercut scene - come on, there must be some good ones out there...

Also, since I've slipped under the whole Friday radar by posting about a legit Twilight subject (ILY Rangers - sad puppy eyes and all that nonsense)

IT'S BEEN A WHILE

Emmett visited again and shennanigans ensued -

What did you do to our slumbering campers? Come on Europe and the likes, let's play us some tricks on our fellow US campers - mess em up - I just  know WTVOC would love a tent full of MUSE posters........

Everyone buys brushes and paint and helps Bella paint her bedroom (I think they do this a little after they initially meet) and move all of her furniture. She has to sleep at the Cullen's because of the fumes. Edward and Bella have a date at his house, they have pizza, and she uses raisins to spell out her name on the pizza. I saw this question posted on twilighted and its killing me because I know that I have read it.

Yikes. WTF was going on tonight? That was quite a twist...................

Tell us your thoughts!

Remember Me COUPON!!!!  And its for reeelz!

http://www.coupongal.net/2010/06/remember-me-dvd-9-99-at-target.html

Hello campers! So, I'm looking for a fic that I read a long time ago on Twilighted. Here's the premise: Edward is an EMT, Bella is a songwriter/music agent. Jasper is also a musician, and he and Bella come from the same group of musicians in college, some of which included Volturi-named characters (I vaguely remember Jane and Alec and Demetri being in that group).

I'm interested in finding it because I remember in particular the EMT slant of the story. Edward and Seth were frequent partners on their shifts, and there was a cool dynamic between all the EMTs in the group.

If you don't know what story I'm talking about, do you know other stories where Edward (or hey, let's give the ladies their fair shake, Bella) is an EMT?

today's the end of tag week

please check your forest messages...

in the upper right hand corner, the taskbar has 6 icons!  if your envelope has a number on it, there are messages there.

i'd like ALL messages from the "tag" experiment sent to me, please and thank you.

i'm gonna compile some statistics.  many of you have already sent yours along, so thank you!

you can do this: ctrl + a, ctrl + c and then either click on my icon or compose a message to "wtvoc", then just label it "tag" and send it my way.  thank you!

and before you ask, i have no idea what's going on with big sunday.

now, let's use this campfire to discuss music.  i'm really loving this right now:

BLACK & WHITE

A Novel by Tiffany Madison (AKA vixen1836)

http://www.vixenstories.net

Hi Folks!  Just got to thinking about a FF written last year titled Black & White by vixen1836. Amazing story but was pulled by the author with a view to publishing it, with rewrites to remove direct character links to Twilight ofcourse.

Initially I was pissed  annoyed that the author had removed this riveting story, but then reconsidered this and decided why not? She has created a wonderful and original story, populated with fascinating characters.  The Edward and Bella featured in Black and White are better developed than anything by SM.

Suffice to say, I am now eagerly anticipating the published novel of Black & White by Tiffany Madison!  Even more than any Summit rehash of SM novels.

So, my point/question for you all..  Have you read Back & White on FF? (the first couple of chapters are still available to read on FF.net)  Is anybody else looking forwad to this being published/concluded?

Has there been any notification about the Big Sunday Surprise?

I thought it would be here by now, but the Rangers who are here are saying they don't even know.

But I am pretty new here, so maybe I don't get the joke? Does someone have details?
