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.

OMG IF HE TAKES OFF HIS CLOTHES ONSTAGE.... DED

So I just saw this come through on another site.  I missed the New Moon get together in NYC and I was hoping that something would be put together for Eclipse.  Any NY area ADF'ers up for a field trip?

If you follow the link, you'll see the other cities available as well!

I DON'T THINK WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS PROPERLY.

THERE'S ALREADY A POST ABOUT IT, BUT IDC.

I'M DISAPPOINT THAT YOU LADIES DIDN'T DO ME JUSTICE.

I LOVE THE GUY, I REALLY DO. BUT... THE VIDEO IS WAY CHEESY.

AND LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING I PUT TOGETHER IN GRADE 7.

ALSO, HIS WIFE IS IN THE VIDEO....

WHY AREN'T I IN THE VIDEO?! I COULD DO WHAT SHE DOES. JUST WALKIN' AROUND, LOOKING MOODY.

THAT'S MY THING, PEOPLE. I'M ALWAYS MOODY. AT LEAST ACCORDING TO JOHN. AND MY MOM.

I NEED GIFS, AND SCREENCAPS STAT. IF I KNEW HOW TO DO THAT, I SO WOULD.

MAYBE I'LL MAKE JOHN DOWNLOAD ME A SCREENCAPPIN' PROGRAM. Y/Y?

I LIKE THE SONG... SORT OF.

SO TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE VIDEO?

I'D SAY I'M SORRY ABOUT THE GIANT FONT, BUT I'M NOT. I FEEL LIKE IT'S NEEDED FOR THIS.

I MEAN IT'S BILLY BURKE. MY ONE TRUE FANTASY, SINGING... AND DOING THINGS TO A MICROPHONE, AND JUST BEING SEXY.

I'M ALL FLUSTERED.

Currently i am eating ice cream with smashed up mikado biscuits and toffee syrup and drinking vanilla coke.

Who else is a sugar addict and what are your favorite snacks?

Is it still ffaf? idk.

FFAF, y/y?

So recently I've discovered K'naan and I'm in love with his music. Just utterly in love. Check this out!

In order to make this interactive, what sorts of music have you recently discovered and LOVED??? Tell me peeps!

I made the mistake yesterday of greeting an American on gChat with 'ay up'.  I was met with general puzzlement.

'Ay up' is Yorkshire-speak for 'hello' and is usually followed by the endearment 'chuck' or 'duck' (personally, I prefer duck).

I have an entire repertoire of phrases that will bamboozle people not from round these parts...what about anyone else?  Care to share your favourite local colloquialisms (<<<Google is telling me I'm spelling that right so I'm leaving it be)?  

Maybe we can all learn some interesting new slang :D

Ta (a.k.a. Thank you)

P.S.  Two campfires in twenty-four hours....someone take the matches away from me before it gets dangerous.

FYT - although I'm of the opinion that he's too posh to know anything other than the Queen's:

I have this curiosity, if somebody knows anything about it. Robert Pattinson is already doing Water for elephants (nice photos) so I suppose he has finished with Bel Ami already (Poor boy, he works all the time!!) . Now, we have been told that in Bel Ami there are lots of love scenes with beautiful actresses ... but not one still has surfaced  (well, one, but not very exciting).  How come?

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Does anyone remember a fic where E & B were together in high school ( i know, I know) then Tanya sees E at a dance and decides to break them up?  B ends up married to Mike and E, of course, ends up married to Tanya (psycho).  E & T end up moving in next door to M & B and then everything falls apart.  E & B fight their still raging attraction and finally realize it is futile.  Long story short, Mike and Tanya end up being a bit off balance.  When B becomes pregnant, Mike just wants the baby and Tanya just wants her dead.

Any ideas?  I can't remember the name of this one at all......

Thanks...

I am Camilla, I am Italian and I am about to become a grandmother. I was already a member of ADF but it is the first time I maifest myself here. I am quite active as a fanfiction writer, as I have posted 12 stories on Twilighted net and on Fanfiction net. Presently I am trymg to write a sequel to may latest story "The Parachutist" but it is a slow going, due to some RL events and the fact that I don't find it easy to continue, but I feel that I should. .

Enough for the moment. I'll try to figure how this site works and what I can do for it and what it can do for me. For instance, is there a place where one can post profile and contact details and see other members profile?

But, if you need some sentences translated into Italian or edited I will be pleased to do it. I do it for other authors too. I can be reached as Camilla on twilighted or as Camilla10 on ff. I am also on the TCS Library, but it is not a very responsive site, I must say.

Ciao
