Eerily lifelike bust of 'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson sells for more than $1,000 on eBay

The one rule of "Twilight" fandom seems to be that there is always somebody out there determined to do something creepier than the last.

This photo-realistic silicone bust of "The Twilight Saga" character Edward Cullen, as portrayed by Robert Pattinson, sold on eBay for $1,399, according to Gather.com.

The auction listing describes the piece of "art" thus:

"The soft silicone is real to the touch. The punched hair is amazing, the eyebrows, lashes, hairline are hand inserted. The eyes are industry grade glass eyes. The entire piece is foam filled with a core up the neck so he can be easily mounted on a stand or put together as an historic museum quality statue."

The story does not say who purchased this thing or what on earth they plan to do with it, but rest assured if such information ever comes out it will be relayed to you here.

What would you do with a lifelike recreation of Robert Pattinson's face in your home?

Just great-another article on the creepy side of the fandom.

Sometimes there are places that hold a special significance in our lives.  They may remind you of an event or time.  They may remind you of a person.  You may refer to it as “our place”.  Tom does.  But does Robert?

 THE ADF SUMMER LINEUP OF DAILY CAMPFIRES

Sunday -- fireside chat: Talk about what you've been reading this week!

Wow.  I finished Ultio last night (technically, this morning) and I can honestly say, I have not read anything like this.  No other fanfic has gotten under my skin like this. 

I am not quite sure how to articulate my reactions to this fic.  The author(s) did a great job, no doubt.  The story is haunting and left me completely conflicted - it is difficult to cheer for either Edward (or Bella in some ways), and at the same time it is difficult to completely hate Edward either.  He's neither the protagonist or the antagonist - just the main character.  Does that even make sense?

Anyone else have similar reactions?  Was your reaction different?

ranger warning:  major spoilers in the comments.

Hey campers! Tonight is my #readalong thing on twitter (@rattlingwalls). And guess what the story is.

Toye by the forest's very own Bratty_Vamp!

Info from FFN: Vampires like to play with their food. A campy and kitschy horror short-story that lets the men of the Cullen household be the monsters that Edward always claimed they were. Extremely OOC.

So, be here or on FFn at 7 central time (for US peeps) tonight and make sure to be signed into twitter as well! Because even for those of you who have read it before (like me) anything by this chick deserves a re-read!

To make this interactive and not just me pimping my read along and BV's awesome fic you can post your comments for the fic here if you don't have twitter. Or, you know, just squeal over BV and her awesome stories.

*Spoilers will probably be in comment section. Ye be warned.*

I'm in the mood for sharing. I love ADF!! I think is great that we have rangers that care. So I will share something pretty with you. You share something with me. I'm in need of Gifs and pics that are not common from Twilight and True Blood.

This is for you

See how he is looking at you. You can't say no to that.

Hi guys!

So I was nowhere near email all weekend, and just sorted through my massive list of updates this morning.

I saw definatelystaying had updated "Fractured" with a note that she had moved it. I clicked on the link, GONE. And another story she's been writing, GONE.

Her profile. GONE.

I checked her blogs, the one she writes under her real name is up, but only has original fiction on it. Her fanfiction blog is gone.

Does anyone know where she moved her stuff to? With the long weekend, I would've hoped she'd leave a note up like that for a bit longer than 2 days.

I was in the store and i was showing my sister this picture of taylor

And i told her tht it was like porn. I thought i was whispering so that my mom (who was next to us) wouldn't hear but then this lady who was down the aisle just comes up to us and says "you guys are funny" Believe it or not, i actually ran away.

I want to know what is your most embrassing twilight related moment.

(btw isn't that poto of taylor like porn. When can i have his babies?)

So i was making a banner when I messed up (the picture is too big)

But i didn't want to delete is since i liked it so much. However, i have no use for it and i was wondering if someone wanted to take it off of my hands. I also made different versions of it if you were interested

If you want it let me know, the first person (people) to respond will get it.

Did you know:

1. it very rarely ever storms (thunder and lightning) in the Pacific Northwest?

2. SM named a few of the characters from the series after ex-boyfriends (I want to know who!)

3. SM compared herself to the "Barbies" in her Scottsdale, Arizona high school, she was considered a "5." But when she went away to college, she was suddenly popular with guys.

4. The original title of was 'Forks" not Twilight

5. According to diff sources, SM's dream cast for the movie was: Edward - Henry Cavill, Bella - Emily Browning, Carlisle - Charlie Hunnam, Esme - Mary Louise Parker, Alice - Rachel Leigh Cook, Jasper - Trent Ford, Rosalie - Olivia Wild, Emmett - Tom Welling (YES!),

6. The three faves to play Edward after RPattz according to hardwicke: Ben Barnes, Shiloh Fernandez, Jackson, Rathbone

7. Ashley Green, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Cam Gigandet all auditioned for the main roles, and landed other spots.

Come on - what other random facts do you have....or tell me who you'd like to see for some of the uncast spots in that movie has yet to be filmed.

borders is judging me

i got this in m'email this morning:

caveat emptor!  they know what you're reading, and they judge you accordingly! of course i'm still buying it omg

but seriously, bree tanner?  psssh.  let's talk about the next characters the smeyer should write about, like "the adventures of kate & garrett".  now there's an email i wouldn't smack my head about getting.

Hi!  Okay, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is having a not so bad Tuesday which is impossible.

We've some business to attend to--and I want to be very clear that this is directed at no one in particular.

First up, we encourage everyone new to the site to go to the Ranger Station and look over the rules.

www.adifferentforest.com/Rangers/

What I want to focus on here is:

*No personal attacks.  All opinions are welcome.  If you don't like the best fic of the year, you can talk about that here.  If you think Robert Pattinson is less appealing than crusty underwear doused in vomit, you can say that here.  What you cannot do is personally attack anyone with a differing opinion.  Or anyone at all.

*Please scroll down the page to see if there is a campfire similar to the one you are about to post before you post it. 

*Please ask permission from a ranger before posting off topic campfires.

*Fic Recs.  We have a weekly post for fic recs, yet I understand when you find a good one, you want to share right away.  So...maybe we need a more than once a week rec post?  It's possible....

Which leads me to my next order of business.

Gripes and suggestions.

Here's the deal with ADF:  It is user generated.  Rangers do not want to police this site.  We want it to be whatever you want it to be.  If you want this to be your place to love on Nikki Reed, it is.  If you want this to be your place to discuss Catherine Hardwicke's antics, it is.  I can't stress this enough:  ADF will be whatever Twilight site you want it to be if you post. 

Quite simply, it will be what you make it.  And each of you have the power to make this pretty much exactly what you want it to be.

Please, use this thread to make suggestions or point out things you think could be improved, or any general complaint about ADF.

We are learning about this whole thing, too, and we just have no way of knowing what things are rubbing people the wrong way if no one says anything--and we want to know.  We want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome, and we can't do that if we're not aware of issues.

Please, speak up so we can work on making ADF awesome-er.

Hey guys,

This is my first campfire, so bear with me.

I live in the Netherlands, but am taking a vacation to the US in 2 weeks. Planned it so I'll be in LA when Eclipse premieres.

So now I was wondering... are there any campers who'll be in town that week? Maybe we can work something out, meet up, make sure we're noticed at the red carpet so we can get up close and personal to the cast...

Just a thought...

Why? peeps may ask - well, because despite my serious enjoyment of all that has to do with South Korea, I'm in a funk over not being back in the US to see a midnight showing of Eclipse with my friends.

Yes, that's right, I'm going to have to miss a week or so of ADF, Twitter and just about everything else I do on the interwebz  just so I dont stumble across any spoilers (not to mention me missing out on a good old drunken GNO and squealing like a pre-teen at hours when you'd usually find me tucked up and fast asleep)

Yes, I can hear some of you tsking away at me - I do indeed need to count my blessings, but despite me contemplating all the good things in my life I just can't get past this funk over my outside of CONUS status for June 30th....so, please, cheer me up over this...pictures, Twilight funnies, in fact anything Twilight related..oh, and catch me up on all the fandom gossip because I've been away from my computer for the past 5 days.

Happy middle-of-the-week campers.

 Discovered this read tonight and quickly devoured it.  I'm loving it.  The writing is smart and witty.  Edward is charming and Bella can hold her own.  And you can tell the writer puts a lot of thought and research into the story.  And super sweet.  I've already received a reply to my chapter review!

Oh no...not another fic to put on my "patiently (somewhat) waiting for updates" list!!!  If you're in need of a read...go, go, go! You won't be disappointed. And then come back here, so we can chat about it!

Minisinoo posted a 10 day warning for her website.   The MedicineWheel is going away in 10 days.    If there are any of her stories you want she said you better get them soon.    That's where the wonderful "Finding Himself" is posted (with pictures!).    The sequel is there too.   She will be posting a new chapter to the sequel either Tuesday or Wednesday and will be doing a wrap up as well.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!
