So, I've been thinking about hosting this contest for a while, but I'm not very social in the fandom, so I wouldn't have many helpers.

Who would be interested in an iWrite Contest?

We do these all the time on dA. There's a list of around thirty numbers, and you get to pick a number, and I'll have a list of songs, and whichever number you pick is the song you'll get from my list. I'll provide you with a link to the song if you don't know it. They're extremely fun. I love participating in them, and people get super creative while doing them.

ANYWAY, I was thinking about introducing them to the Twilight fandom, and it's so weird 'cause jandco and wtvoc just started their Song from a Hat story, which would be the same basic concept.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU'D LIKE TO HELP ME/PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONTEST.

You're appreciated by ladyinblue6. And Sidney Crosby.

it's your random ranger checking in.

i hear it's free for all friday (it's been friday here forever btw).

SHOW ME YOUR FAVOURITE SONG AND TELL ME ABOUT WHY YOU LOVE IT.

this is mine:

it is my favourite song because, well, listen to it. jeff buckley is my favourite musician in the world.

You can hear their track from the Eclipse soundtrack, "Jonathan Low", in the video below. =D

Well? thoughts?

TWITTER POST!

I swear I am always the last one in on the Twitter posts, so I'm starting my own this time.  Come in and post your Twitter and also any celebs you think are worth following!

I'm @MelissaCullen01  (I'll post how to make it a link in comments, because "find people" isn't always working)  My tweets are locked, but I always follow back!  =)

Some celebrities I follow @iansomerhalder, @ActuallyNPH, @ladygaga, and @GLEEonFOX  (FYI...you can find all the characters/actors Twitters here, too.)

FYT

Approved by the loverly Pixievamp.  For her.

I just had to post this - does this make anyone else think of Clipped Wings & Inked Armor?

Can't you just picture Edward with a cupcake tattoo? I mean, he obsesses about them loves them enough, he might as well have one permanently, right? lol

BTW, those are not my feet - I don't know whose they are. I was just randomly searching Photobucket.

Please stop keeping me awake with your new foray into writing. Some of us do have to get up and go to work in the morning.

SONGS FROM A HAT  Title Summary: We pull a song from a hat and each of us writes the first thing that comes to mind until we come to some stopping point. Enjoy, and do not judge what pops up.

So I was browsing through my e-mails regarding my obsession fan-love for Robert Pattinson and came across this auction being held by PACT (Parents and Abducted Children Together) in the UK. It seems to be legit and for a good cause. Basically, the universal sign for PACT is a balloon so they had a bunch of celebrities doodle on balloons or something and now they're being auctioned off. They're signed and certified.

Mr. Robert Pattinson doodled.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the doodle...

Is it just my perverted mind?

Does anyone else see it?

I seriously think Rob drew a penis on his balloon!

Okay, it could have just been a doodle of lines and such, and he may not have even been paying attention, which makes this possible The Best Accidental Doodle Ever.

...

For those wanting to check out the auction, it's on EBay UK HERE.

THOUGHTS?!

From Pattinsonlife. It was too cute to pass up. Sigh...I luff him.

I found this & thought it would be perfect for the forest campers!

Find out what tree you are!

I'll post the descriptions of the trees inside the comments.

Find your birthday in the chart then look in the comments for info about your tree!!!

I think everyone should reply with a picture of their tree +plus+ a picture that describes themselves.

How accurate would you say the tree descriptions are?

Have fun!!

So i know we have had campfires about this before, but it is only recently i found out that...

Im obsessed with Nikki Reed

shes a talented beautiful girl and while her casting for rosalie is very controversial, i would love her even if she wasnt in my favorite saga.

so i want to know.....

Who out of the the whole twilight cast is your style icon. who do you think has the best fashion? red carpet vs everyday?

lookingforhoofprints sent me a care package for no reason other than she's amazing

lol the steak sauce and pats of butter and wolfgang puck soup were not in the package

but the romance novel was.

and please notice the original art from the man who created Kool-Aid Man.  even kool-aid knows red is better.

time to love up on someone in this fandom, especially if it's a camper.

i love you for your sweetness, both literal and figurative, dear lookingforhoofprints.

i love the campers at a different forest for (mostly) keeping it classy.

and i will love anyone who can make me a giffy icon of sweets mewling or hodgins falling from the bones season finale.

I'm a little bored and none of alerts are updating, So I was thinking...

If you could choose ONE fic to update this very minute, which fic would you choose? Why?

Gah!  I’ve been so busy with my RL these past couple of weeks that I haven’t had much time to help Jessica with her interviews.

Sorry Jessica!!

But she did pretty well on her own anyway.  This week she had a chat with the newest student to enroll in Forks High, Bella Swan, from MIDNIGHT SON OF A BITCH, by the lovely greeen goldfish.

If you’re not reading this story, you’re missing out.  It’s HILARIOUS and totally what Midnight Sun should have been.  And it’s been updated TODAY!  It’s here in the Forest… check it out in Storytelling!)

As someone who actually liked BD, I am genuinely curious as to why people hate it so much.

Yeah, I know the fade to black sucked, but it is a YA book and SM is a Mormon, what did you expect?

Yeah, vamps and humans procreating is impossible, but were talking about a story where vamps and shapeshifters exist...it's a work of fiction, anything is possible.

Ok...I'll give you the whole birth of Reneesme. That was a bit graphic and gross. And I could've done without the chewing through the belly and breaking bones. BUT, I liked that they had a baby together even though her name sucks.

AND...the imprinting was a little weird.

But I am glad that there was an anti-climatic climax, I would have hated it if any of the Cullens were killed trying to fight the Volturi.

So tell what specifically did you hate about BD?

No smartass comments saying "Everything."

If you hated it, I really wanna know why and how you would have liked to see the saga end. Don't refer back to a fic, I want your take on it.

Will Former Twi-Star Rachelle Lefevre See Eclipse?

Talk about a classy gal.

Even though Rachelle Lefevre has plenty reason to gripe about being replaced in the Twilight franchise by Bryce Dallas Howard, she's not gonna go there.

In fact…

The ginger beauty tells us she plans to check out Eclipse when it hits theaters next month. "Why wouldn't I see the movie?" she said yesterday at the Environmental Media Association's Yes to Carrots Garden Challenge luncheon in L.A. "I support my cast.

"They're amazing people and they're great kids and they're doing awesome work. Why shouldn't they be supported? And Stephenie Meyer is an incredible writer, as is [screenwriter] Melissa Rosenberg, and I think both of them should be celebrated."

Plus, she added, she keeps in touch with some of the cast, especially Elizabeth Reaser: "We were like a family."

Sigh... I freaking LOVE her.  So hot.

Hello and welcome to another installment of Fridge Notes: A Love Story, brought to you by Ciaobella27, littlesecret84, and yours truly.  We share these with you so that you can get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes peek at what goes on when Rob and Kris leave each other notes on their refrigerator of love somewhere in a house which doesn't really exist.  Maybe.

Now, as the rest of us do, Rob and Kris often grab note pads from the hotel rooms they find themselves camped out in and shove those notepads into their shared backpack, because even though they're gazillionaires, free stationery is free stationery, and they need to save their money for important stuff like pot and guitars.  This week, they made good use of all that free stationery.

My recent excitement over adding the Eclipse Collector's Edition book to my Twilight collection (Yes, collection. It's on display in a glass cabinet in my bedroom. Freals.) made me think about all the other incredibly nerdy things I do. (I don't apologize for my nerdiness, but I am aware of it . Fully :P) For example, I fold my underwear. I also organize my drawers and closet by color and hanger-type. I have a mad crush on Dr. Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds. Oh, and I'm a 30 year old woman who is completely obsessed with a Young Adult book series.

Yep. I...am...a...nerd :)

Now I know I can't be the only one out there with a few "geek-rets". So come on, people, fess up!!

OMG, I love the Fight Club Tyler Durden-esque subconcious blips of the lego brick.

Have you ever been inspired by a fic and created a story banner for it?

Have you let anyone see it?

There are some incredibly talented manipulators out there. (Pun intended.)

Now it's time to show us your work!

Relax, take a deep breath and......

Post the banners you've made and the name of the fic that inspired it.
