I don't know what else to say except...Rangers, please delete if inappropriate.  I mean the post, not the product.  LOL  Well, maybe the product too.  This is seriously wrong.

Ever dreamed of getting a love letter from your "Twilight: Eclipse" crush Robert Pattinson?

Well, now you can. And the best part is you can make him write every word you are dying to read. Because you can write it to yourself in his handwriting. OK, it's a little creepy but it's also too awesome for words.

The clever folks at Twilight Poison have painstakingly developed a font based on Pattinson's handwriting, taken from all the autographs he's signed.

Go to their Website to download it and be sure to follow all the instructions, including crediting the creator.

Twilight Poison also promises to make Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz, etc., fonts if you supply them with enough photos of their handwriting.

So anyone with an "Twilight" star's autograph, send a snap and let the mash note writing begin.

Soooo I just finished Seducing Ms Swan.  The story intrigued me about a year ago, and have been keeping up with it since then.  Sad it's come to an end, but at least it is a good one! So that prompted me to think, and I'm too lazy to search...

Anyone know of another "hot for teacher" type fic, where Bella's a teacher and Edward or even Jasper are her student?? And maybe there's even some naughty classroom time sweet teaching moments??

FYT

Okay, I know this must get old, but I've been thinking about it for a little while now and it's been bugging me. In this fic, Bella is a server full-time and Edward is a piano player for the city's orchestra, I think. They get involved but have to deal with the whole class-differences thing, and I don't remember much more than that. I think there's a creepy James and the rest of the crew is in it, too. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can link me? Thanks! 

For anyone new, it could appear that fanfic talk is some strange language only slightly related to English. What terms have you run across that made you wonder "What does that frickin' mean?" I'll start with some basics that everyone probably knows already:

A Twific Lover's Addendum to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary

AH: all-human, a story in which the characters are human, no vampires or shapeshifters

AU: alternate universe, SM's world but with a twist. These stories include vamps and shapeshifters.

bb: baby, a term of endearment

canon: a canon story is faithful to Stephenie Meyer's original Twilight books in plot, setting, and character. "Cannon" refers  to a military weapon popular during the Napoleonic wars.

Fifty: the Edward character in Snowqueens Icedragon's Master of the Universe (MOTU), so called because he's fifty shades of effed up

HEA: happily ever after

MOTU (or MotU): Master of the Universe, a fanfic

OOC: out of character, generally as compared to canon (see above)

Contribute to the glossary or ask about some reference that made you wonder what the eff someone was referring to. I know that once in a while I still come across something that I need to ask about. Don't be shy!

Its official...I've lost my mind to plot bunnies. It comes as no surprise that we all have plot bunnies sometimes, but I swear they are swarming in seriously high numbers around me. I'm already in the middle of writing a story yet I keep coming up with more and more ideas. Just wish I had the time to write them all...

However, I do have a question regarding said plot bunnies- When it comes to a setting in a story like whether they work in a hotel, bar, specific company or store - is it better to make a place up, or is it ok to use real places? I've read stories where they make up the place of employment or school and I've read ones where they use real legit places. What's your preference as both a reader or a writer? Real or fake?

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

TOR EDIT:

According to US weekly magazine

So do you think this is true? which it probably isn't. but how else docyou think Kristen tortures Rob???

Or SERIAL FICS...

You know exactly what I’m talking about.  The never-ending fics filled with smut and drama and angst, where every wrench and plot device is used to keep our two star-crossed lovers apart.  These fics have dozens of chapters and thousands of reviews, and no foreseeable conclusion.

Half the time, I'm waiting for the EVIL TWIN to show up....or for a character to die and then suddenly come back to life!

There are certain fics out there that seem to have taken on a life of their own.  A handful even seem to have a life beyond what the author originally planned!

There are those who LOVE them (hence the review count in the thousands…or tens of thousands) and those who hate them.  But they are popular for a reason, so what’s the appeal?

I can see why they are popular.  Some have latched on to certain trends in fanfic, some are controversial in content, and some are just…different.  Some are light and fluffy and just plain entertaining.  An added factor to some of these fics is that they are updated frequently and regularly, keeping any popular momentum it has going strong.

But what’s the deal?  When is enough…enough?  How many chapters are too many (there was a recent campfire about this)?  At which point does an author allow the sudden popularity of his/her fic to take over where the original outline becomes abandoned and they just keep the thing going and going and going? 

Authors: would you be offended if someone compared your fic to a soap opera?

Readers: when you’re reading one of these epic fics, at what point do you just give up?

Let’s keep things respectful.  I think we can talk about this without naming names….but if you do choose to name a specific story, please play nicely.  

To all those who recommended last free for all friday I get the set rather than just the first book,  you were right!!!

One week later and I'm already on book 4, they're as addictive as crack!

Thanks for the advice ladies : )

What are your favorites?

 No, not necessarily talking about the campfire goodness of chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers (though they're decadent!)

In my experience, there are things (or experiences!) that leave us wanting just a little more when we're finished with them.  For example, a single-scoop ice cream cone or a date with the Significant Other or the stillness of the morning before the responsibilities of the day must begin.  Or a good book!

For me, almost anything with dark chocolate qualifies as a "s'more."  Finishing some fanfics are like that, too.  (The Tutor, before ItzMegan73 added her epilogue, for example.) 

What makes you want s'more?  

Oh, look! Here's Kellan bringing us some firewood for the campfire.  We can make s'mores now. ;-)

(Still got one hour left of FFAF... Mwahahaha!)

I'm going to live in Washington DC for a year starting in September. I'm going to be a TA in an elementary school. I'm super excited because of all the things to do and the museums (the Smithsonian!). For the story of my life, I was going to be in Maine but they changed their minds so now I'm going to DC.

Do any of you live there?

What can you tell me about Washington? Is it safe? The subway? The buses? Any chance I might meet Obama? ^^

What are the things that I must absolutely do while I'm there?

Any good restaurants/cafés/bars/pubs/nice place to recommend me?

Any area to avoid?

Tell me everything!

Not approved because it's still Friday Free For All.

"Twilight" heartthrob Robert Pattinson, arguably the king of the box office these days, may soon be coming to Broadway.

The 24-year-old British actor, currently filming "Water for Elephants" with Reese Witherspoon, has told his reps that "stage work is something that I want to do as soon as I get a window .. it's what I trained to do and what I really miss."

But lest you think he is considering a West End opening night, the actor added, "I am open to any offers play-wise for here or Broadway".

Pattison has told pals that he really admires the career of another British teen idol - Daniel Radcliffe of "Harry Potter" fame.

Pattison says, "I love the mix of stuff he has done in his career, always pushing the boundaries and stuff like that. I also envy his stints on stage; he is a great actor."

Pattison pays vampire Edward Cullen in author Stephanie Meyers' "Twilight" franchise. The next film in the series, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," hits theaters June 30. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" is in preproduction and scheduled for a 2011 release.
