Apparently Rob wrote this song about Kristen when they were back in the early twilight days, filming the first movie. He never recorded it, but apparently a friend of his sister Lizzy did. 

The lyrics do seem to fit perfectly for their situation back then. 

Who knows if its true, but i thought i'd share anyway. Its a lovely song... and a great fan made vid :)

Another one bites the dust....

Bad Press (another one I started, then decided to wait until it was complete to finish...)

is gone daddy gone...

I wish you well, HappyWanderer!  Your story will be greatly missed.  Please stay and play in the forest!

(and can someone PLEASE step on that darn cricket already!!!!!!!)

or is the Twilighted site down?

I've been trying to click on there many a time but it takes ages to load and then it says the link doesn't work.

Is there something I don't know, or is my computer just playing up again?

I know that ads are good for the site blah blah and whatever, but seriously, the Burger King ad of DEATH needs to find a new home. This thing freaks out my computer and brings up the "Not Responding" notice on both Firefox and IE. Plus, it's twice as bad when it's on the side AND across the top of the page.
I know it's not just me either, I saw a couple other campers say something about it the other day.




Ok, so that was really my only point for this campfire, but since we always like interactive...ness around these parts, tell me something that makes you rage that really shouldn't bother you at all.
If you have nothing and/or this ad doesn't bother you, then feel free to tell me how stupid I am or talk about my excellent Paint skillzzz. I won't mind either way, I promise.

I want to make this campfire for all of us to tell each other were we are going for the Eclipse midnight showing.

We are a large fandom and we always support each other, I am sure some of us will be at certain cinemas where other campers will be but won't know they are there.

Soooo put down where you are watching the midnight showing and what date (different dates, different countries).

Mine will be in the comments.

ps this is for vampgirl!

grownasswoman is pulling an all nighter on the road, her GPS went awol on her. 

I'm trying to keep her up while she drives through Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio....and there are crickets in the forest...

>:(

Please post all of YOUR highlights of the week for grownasswoman when she gets back or just post some crickets...

ARenee363, the author of the wonderful stories Inked & its sequel Marked found out that her stories have been stolen and posted at another site. 

Please help her to get these stories taken down by reporting this person for her obvious theft. 

Thank you ladies so much, I know that you'll do everything to help. The links to report these stolen stories are below. 

Please Report Stolen Inked&Please Report Stolen Marked

That's right . . . tommorow begins the round of 16--or the "knockout phase." ARE YOU READY?

This has been ONE interesting World Cup, thus far. Huge upsets and disappointments. Shocking calls and cards. But, that's the beauty of this game chicos! So come on in here and let's talk what has happened and what we expect to come. Let's talk the low points of some of the group matches and the high points! Let's talk about your team and how you feel they did or they will do if they're still in it. What was your favorite moment? What moment still has you seeing red (yeah, that's a futbol pun!). Let's TALK ABOUT THE WORLD CUP!!!!

This was my post back on June 11, before the first match with my predictions. Inside I'll have an updated list of predictions and comparissions about how they stacked up

So I had a dream last night. And in this dream, I remembered flashes of a certain fic I'd read months ago. All day it's been bothering me and I can't seem to figure out for the life of me which one it is.

So here's the details. Are you ready for this? Because, WOAH, I know sooo much about this fic:

-New Moon AU; Edward never came back yadda, yadda, yadda...

-Bella is on parole/just got off parole/just got out of jail... something like that

-above detail is due to something happening at a party (Bella like drives drunk or something), and Jessica/Lauren (I can't remember which one *shocker*) ends up hurt or dead or something

SORRY for the lack of knowledge. doubt any of you lovelies will know this, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Here's some purty FYT:

PS. It still feels great to be back . <3 you all (:

so i havent been to the forest in what seems like forever(nice new site design)! but i thought of you guys today and decided i had a great FFFA post :)

warning spoilers below! (although, i might have been the last one to watch buffy)

i just finished watching buffy for the first time courtesy of netflix. here are my thought and i would love to hear what you buffy experts think.

first things, first. i loved it. i love buffy and angel and didn't know if i was going to continue to like it after he left...but i really did love the rest. 

i loved faith. was a little sad when she went off the deep end but i liked her comeback at the end. 

willow was cool but i didn't like her crazy witched out addiction storyline...the funniest willow moment was when spike couldn't kill her and he didn't know why and she tried to make him feel better. lol.

xander got on my nerves with his constant hating on angel and spike. he totally never got over buffy...

loved dawn and how she was introduced. she was so cute :)

buffy and spike doing it all season 6 was the highlight for me...

...but the lowest of the low was the spike attempted rape thing. i really hated that...

season 6 was great because of the buffy/spike sexin, but buffy's emo breakdowns were a bit much. oh but the musical was AWESOME!

season 7 was the worst one for me....the 'first' took over everything and i didn't really get into the characters. i don't know how i feel about the spike with a soul thing... 

oh and how can i forget anya?! i loved her sfm!

so tell me. what was yall's favorite buffy moment? and are yall team angel or team spike?

Evening Campers.

Sometimes things get you down.

In real life. In the fandom. 

Punkfarie and I had a little chat couple of days ago about negativity. 

We don't like it. 

So -

We want to take this opportunity to talk about positive things. 

What do you like about the fandom? The books? The movies? Your favorite fic?

OR -

What's something good in your life? At work? With your family?

Who cares - just tell us!

Mine will be in the comments :)

Disclaimer: Any negativity in this Campfire will result in a werewolf falling in love with your first born child. No, I'm not kidding.

Additional disclaimer: We understand this may be er... non-canon for us. Whatever. We love the love. 

I have a question for authors, I only read completed fics, and have many stories on alert. Over on FF, I do check all my alerts to see if a story has been marked completed, but sometimes authors don't mark it as such right away, so I scroll to whatever chapter i've been alerted to to see if there is an "end" to the story. So i'll read the authors notes at the end to see if there's a note saying "until next week" or whatever to see if it's the end.

Now, alot of authors ask for reviews. I feel bad I can't review a story i'm anticipating right away, so sometimes I'll write a quick note to say "hey i'm out here, just want you to know, looking forward to reading". Just so they know that there are some people out there excited about their story and apologize for not being able to review yet.

I've done this a bunch of times, but last week I did this to a certain author who answered my review telling me that I wasn't helpful in letting her know that I was waiting for her to finish it, and that she didn't appreciate it.

I was a little thrown by that, but it made me wonder if it is in fact offensive that I don't leave a review but let them know i'm out there. I'm not trying to offend in any way, and actually thought that someone would like to know why i've alerted it but haven't reviewed.

Thoughts?

I am using my Super Ranger Status Powers to pimp this out since she has chosen my one shot, Proffer for 24 as one of the stories to read!! 

Here is the link: June 25 Readalong

and this is the link to my story right here on ADF: Proffer for 24

Rest assured, this is my one traditional Edward/Bella romance story and it is ALL fluffy romance. I would really think it was awesome if you read along and told me what you thought of it!

Now, I LOVE one shots so I must ask you:

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ONE SHOT AND WHY?????????? 

I discovered Twilight a year ago and to celebrate my one year of obsession, I decided to re-read the books. (Originally I read all 4 books at least 10 times within the first two months, then turned to fan fiction.)

I was really surprised to be reminded about how much I liked Bella in Twilight.  She's independent, sarcastic, perceptive.  By the time Breaking Dawn rolled around, I thought Bella was a brat and she was my least favorite character. 

So...my question to you is - have you re-read the books after a long time away from them and discovered or been reminded of something new?

Again, for a friend!!  She said it may just be a one-shot, but Edward changes Bella, can't handle the guilt, she mistakenly thinks he doesn't want her. At some point Alice suggests they go on a vacation to re-connect - Bella avoids the sunlight as they walk in the house and Edward realizes that she's trying to "please" him by not showing her vamp side.

She says it's possible that it has a couple or 3 chapters but no more than that.

THANKS!

(Yes, thanks to the lovely LoreliD, we now have a banner!)

Okay, so here's what we're doing: the idea of being an author in FGB, basically a little piece of hay in a big haystack, a hair on a head, a...well, you get the idea. It can be overwhelming, and scary, and everyone wants to be bid on.

Right?

We at Twimpage have started a new blog - in no way affiliated with the awesome FGB - dedicated to spotlighting authors in the auctions and their offers. We're hoping that it'll give you guys - including us of Twimpage that are involved in the auctions as well *coughcoughmeandJenreallywouldappreciateitcoughcough* - the coverage you need and get to the people who need to see the offers.

And, bidders, you could consider it a catalog of sorts. ;p

Want to join in? E-mail us at twimpage@gmail.com, or you can tweet me - if you know me - the webmaster of the site.

Hi all, I wanted to post this fic request in the campfire the other day but I completely missed it with the time difference. Does anybody know of any fics with a crazy/insane vampire Bella?

I have read a lot of fics where Edward's sanity is compromised (!) but I have this idea of Bella being changed and then turning insane, almost a bit like Drusilla from Buffy.  Not sure if this is something I might have read or not, but give me your best mentally-challenged vampire recs please!

Thanks

Steph xx

Dru: I'm naming all the stars.

Spike: You can't see the stars, love, that's the ceiling. Also, it's day.

Dru: I can see them. But I've named them all the same name, and there's terrible confusion.

The Snuggie vid in the Auto-tune Campfire made me think of Ultio.

Honestly, whenever I see anything about Snuggies, I can't help thinking about Ultio.

Please complete this sentence:

Whenever I see / hear / do ________,  I can't help thinking of (name of fic).
