I'm pimping out my community. Why? Because I'm a ranger and I can do that!

Do you like Austen?

Do you want to chat with funny, smart, amazing people?

Do you need a break from Twilight?

Well, come over to Pemberley Estate!

It started as an Austen comm, but has morphed into something a bit different. We discuss anything and everything (not Twilight). You might recognise some of the mods (well, all of them) from ADF as we are all members here, and I think some of us even met here (ily georgia).

We also have a tumblr which posts Austen images, but it's been quiet for a few days because I've been run off my feet at work. You can catch us on twitter as well :)

we're also running this:

in memory of our friend, and former mod Lasmke!

See you there.

Jenn :)

There are 20 of these from the Lexicon:

Don't throw things at me...., but I think BDH looks beautiful as Victoria and more like I imagined her to be in the book.

Yep.

You've asked for it. You've dreamed about it. And We've delivered! *coughfinallycough*

Lord of HIS Ring

Summary:

While hunting in the Misty Mountains, Edward Cullen finds something he never expected: an epic romance against all the odds. A TOTAL CRACK!FIC collaboration between Pinballwizard92 and Nayarit. Warning: Love's never been this mucosal.

Pinballwizard92's Link              and                 Nayarit's Link

We send our UTTER love and thanks to Diana Wolfskill for her amazing beta efforts and strong stomach. And to ADF of course for bringing Megan and I together. To kisvakondok for pre-reading and supporting us. And to dawnmarie dreaming for starting the campfire that we hijacked long ago, the one that started it all.

Read the one-shot and leave us some love. Fun quotes will be shared inside!

Come in here and talk Golward with us. Love him? Hate him? Desire him?

Edited to add: This fic comes with a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE! If you don't laugh hysterically BOTH Pinballwizard92 and I will give you your money back. WIN-WIN.

I don't usually read non-fanfic stories online, but I was having fun flipping the pages of the free version of the Bree novella & ended up reading a little bit of the introduction:
"No two writers go about things in exactly the same way. We all are inspired and motivated in different ways; we have our own reasons why some characters stay with us while others disappear into a backlog of neglected files. Personally, I’ve never figured out why some of my characters take on strong lives of their own, but I’m always happy when they do. Those characters are the most effortless to write, and so their stories are usually the ones that get finished."

I don't like putting words in another person's mouth, but, to me, this sounds like she lost interest in Edward. I've heard a few people on here that they believe the reason there isn't a lot of Edward in BD is because somewhere along the way S. M. lost his character or decided she didn't like him anymore (which would also explain why she didn't finish Midnight Sun) and I think this heavily infers the same thing. Even though she didn't mention Midnight Sun in the introduction & was talking about the story being presented, she was also kinda talking about her writing (specifically, how she can't write a character's story if she doesn't find it interesting), so I think it also applies to MS. I'm not criticizing or sticking up for her, I'm just presenting a theory: that she hasn't completed Midnight Sun because Edward isn't a strong character for her.

So what do you think: is my theory spot-on, completely bogus, or somewhere in between?

Ranger jennday apologises she's a complete moron.

Please post about Monday requests here. Want to find a fic? Ask your lovely fellow campers.

I apologise to Emibella. I love you and I'm sorry I am a moron. 

 I love you too, Jenn. You are not a moron. You are all kinds of lovely! <3 Emibella

I remember something about funny fics! Go for it :)

OK you guys are incredible at helping recognize forgotten fics. So I am asking for help on an E/B fic where Bella is pregnant at the beginning but Edward is not to thrilled about it and they have an accident that leaves Bella in a coma for a year (I think). So then he is left to raise their baby girl, until she wakes up. That's all I remember, if you could all do your awesome thing and help me!!! 

So I was on twitter and saw this.....

Lets talk Anita Blake. I just read book 19 Bullet, and well honestly I am so pissed at Anita I want to strangle her fauxprude zombie raising ass. I will save my comments for in the campfire because they are length and spolier ridden.

I truly think (even if it is not my favroite series) Laurell K.Hamilton has created my favroite speculative fiction world in this series. I am just so frustrated with our little necromancer right now GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I want to know, do any of you read this series? How far along are you? What do you love? What do you hate? Why? Who are your favroite charcters? Are you a "Vintage Blaker" or a "Progressive Blaker" (I am neither I like porn and crime busting)

Do you want an harem of your own? I personally wouldn't have minded one of these...

This is a fanart painting/airbrusing of Haven, a werelion from the series. It can be found on Deviant Art and was done by the artist BuhKeezy.

This post was approved by WTVOC so I believe some DB is in order

Enjoy!!

 A TON MORE ARE IN THE COMMENTS!

thanks to kstewfans!

MTV has a series of backstage interviews with Rob, including this one where he talks about their rehearsal for Best Kiss acceptance. 

There was a story that I started to read but didn't finish.  Why? I don't know.  I tought that I would remember what it was called or who it was by but no such luck.  I can't give much for anyone to go on but I hope someone can help me.  I only read the first chapter.  Anyway.  Does this sound familiar - Bella inherits a victorian home from maybe her grandfather and there is an old desk in one of the rooms and a box with letters.  That is all I can really remember.  Sorry :(  I know that the story isn't Tides.  Hopefully someone knows what I am talking about and I didn't halucinate this story.

Hi All :-)

I am seriously craving some Emmett luvin but have been unsuccessful in finding anything that looks worth my time. I really want to read a good Emmett/Bella love story. I would prefer something fluffy but will take whatever I can get.

My little man has decided he can dictate things around here ~terrible twos does not even begin to describe his behavior~ and I need a little control over my life.

Thanks all :-)

Posting a bit earlier today :)

Do you write fan fiction? Want to give a peek of what's to come in your upcoming chapters?

Post upcoming excerpts from your stories here!

Don't forget to include a link!

 Robert Pattinson's pornographic poetry (and other gems from the 'Remember Me' DVD)
While Robert Pattinson spends his June promoting "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," Summit Entertainment is working its cross-pollination magic by pushing "Remember Me" out on DVD.

Due June 22, the romantic drama starring Pattinson and "Lost" blond Emilie de Ravin touts a major bonus feature -- a cast commentary track in which the heartthrob drops serious pearls about his filming experience.

Taking the lead for our favorite factoid: Pattinson's dirty journaling. Playing the broody Tyler, the actor spent most of the film scrawling mysteriously in a leather-bound notebook. "On set I kept on going up to Rob and saying, 'You've got to write in your journal, mate,'" producer Nick Osbourne said.

Said Pattinson: "I remember writing all these kind of pornographic poems, whenever there was a close-up on it. Horrible, horrible things in bold capital letters."

We can only hope a man from Nantucket was involved. 

Other amazing insights into Rob's soul include ...

His sex scene was scary: Pattinson was "terrified" during his boom-boom moment with De Ravin. More so, he was sympathetic to the director of photography, "who had to look deep into my ... crack for a long time."

His mother was appalled at the thought of a tattoo: Pattinson's character has his brother's name inked on his left pec as a memorial. When his mom saw it in the "Remember Me" trailer, she called him immediately. "I was like, 'Really, do you think I tattooed 'Michael' on my chest?"

Fans take note -- when in Los Angeles, he reads scripts in a fast-food restaurant parking lot: "I was in an In 'N Out burger car park where I used to always read scripts. ... I realized I liked the character Tyler in the first four pages." Perhaps he celebrated with a Double-Double. 

He's not shy about his frustrations with the paparazzi: As the film's New York shoot was plagued with photogs, almost every scene in the "Remember Me" commentary comes with some anecdote about the invasive shutterbugs. "They showed absolutely no respect for anything," Pattinson remarks.

Big dramatic fight scenes (like in, um, "Eclipse") bore him: Pattinson gets roughed up by costar Chris Cooper in the film, and loved every minute of it. "It's probably the most fun I've ever had in a scene," he says of being slammed against the hood of a car. "Normally the fights are so choreographed, it makes it boring."

Rob does a mean Barney Gumble: Pattinson randomly bursts out in an impression of resident derelict Barney from "The Simpsons" on the commentary track. And it's actually pretty spot on. 

Well, we all know why we're HERE. We love/like/love to hate Twilight. 

But are any of you involved in other online fandoms?? Do you participate in any other online communities??

For me, there's this of course:

and more recently this little gem:

And when these books are adapted to the big screen, my life will be consumed:

So campers, tell what else you're involved in online!

Hola Campers!

(i may or may not be slightly hungover.  cheap wine has a tendency to sneak up on me omg)

Didja watch the MTV Awards?  srsly, who didn't

Just a couple of things....

 1) The Kiss made me LOL:

2) I don't even want to DISCUSS that Eclipse trailer.  I can't go there.  Just... NO.

3) Peter Facinelli is my HERO:

Moving on....

HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND??

My basement flooded and I had some mis-adventures at a laundromat, then I went to graduation party.  The party was quiet and a little lame, but then I came home, made BBQ Ribs that were WIN, and drank entirely too much wine - as usual.

Some Random Facts For The Water Cooler:

*The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

*Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better.

*The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910.

*111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

*In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase "goodnight, sleep tight".

*

Talk to me....

Ok- so I am sure that I am not the only one that has done this,  but as I am new, I am  hoping it lets me get the break this time...LOL

I am looking for FanFic to read. I am semi-picky so here are my Must Have's:

Strong Bella- not the fall down and go boom clumsy, high school version of her, a Bella that has lived a little, and isn't a virgin at the age of 24....

Strong Edward-not the controlling, or hopelessly in love type, a man that has been there and done that is ok...

Witty, well written, can either be a WIP or complete (I prefer complete, but I understand that my criteria may not be met)

I prefer for them to NOT be in high school, not have Bella be the victim, drug abuse and TONS o sex is fine as I am not a prude and prefer it to be on the lemony side..I realize I probably have high standards, but alas...that is who I am..

If you recommend something, please enclose the link- I am on here, twilighted.net and fanfic all the time.

Thanks! and happy camping :)

So I didn't watch the awards last night due to lack of MTV but I was wondering were Rob and Emilie nominated for best kiss?

I know Kristen and Dakota were. in my opinion Remember Me kissing scenes way hotter than Rob and Kristen.

What do you think?

Ohh and the proper way to collect this award. Watch and learn Robsten, watch and learn!!!!

can someone please tell me WTH was with the eclipse video:( bella would never chose jacob over edward, that was just sad, edwad was so heart:( i really hate movie bella now:(

EDIT:  I'm not saying edward is not a manipulator. I'm saying that edward did manipulate bella in the books too, but bella didn't act like this, SM's version of bella would never do this that's what i'm saying.
