IT'S TIME FOR....

DO YOU MAKE FAN VIDEOS?  DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE YOU WANT TO SHARE?

POST THEM ALL HERE!

THIS WEEK, LET'S BRING ON THE EMOTION.  I WANT YOU TO POST WHAT YOU THINK ARE SOME VERY EMOTIONAL FAN VIDS.  BRING ON THE ANGST!

HERE'S MY REC FOR THE WEEK <- EVERYONE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO WATCH THIS.  WOW.

"New Moon // Edward..." by verotruth 

It’s been three months since I got my first tattoo and I have to say, I’m very much in love with it.

Some people say they’re trashy, some people say it gives a person elegance, what do you think?

If you have a tattoo or you want a tattoo, post pictures! :)

Mine’s inside. ;)

Ranger approved by wolvesnvamps.

Maybe it's my semi old timers making me feel nostalgic...

Maybe it's low blood sugar...

But I'm curious ADF - what gets you excited these days.  I don't see much about people going nuts on updates or there being those two or three stories that everyone was reading and talking about like once upon a time.  My suspicion is that we've grown so large, and become so diverse as a fandom, that those things might have gone the way of Jasper's wig in New Moon.  Far far away never to be seen again :)

So tell me, campers...what gets you excited these days? What story makes you excited when it updates?  What event are you looking forward to.  On the flip side - do you see a change in the last 8-9 months? If so, why do you think that is?

Tell me what makes you go like this:

Has anyone else read J.R Ward's short story "The Story of Son" that is in the below anthology?? OMG AMAZING!!!!!

Summary: The Story of Son by J.R. Ward
Claire Stroughton is a beautiful lawyer who would rather spend the night with a legal brief than the man of her dreams. Then a routine client meeting turns dangerous—and deeply sensual—when she is held captive by a gorgeous man with an unworldly hunger…

It is based in the same world/town as her Black Dagger Brotherhood series..but is a separate story..but sooooo good..(BUT...it may become interrelated with BDB in future....) If you are a BDB fan..you should definately read this story..

This book is an anthology with 4 short stories..I"ve only read the first two...but i say its worth the money just for JR's story!

The other bonus is that if you are a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters Series(like me)..this anthology contains a short story about Fury & Angelia!

If you have not already read anything by J.R. Ward..then go NOW RUN! And Read her Black Dagger Brotherhood series!!

Please someone tell me they've read this story! Or..ask me about it b/c it's just THAT good!

- Wasn't sure if this needed approval...so I got it approved by my fellow Canuck Tor!

Summit will be releasing a number of new banners/art from Eclipse over the next few days. We need a fierce bitch alert for Dakota.

You guys have helped me out with this problem before, getting over an issue to read a fic.

It happened with "The Mirrors". I just could not get myself to read it, you all promised me I wouldn't regret it, so I finally took the plunge and loved it.

I'm having the same issue with "Boy in the Red Sweater". I've started it a few times, but can't get past the point where Edward makes his first appearance.

Please help me out! Tell me what's so great about it! (Without giving much away). Is he a vamp or is it human?

They signed.

From the NY Post...

Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz have closed deals to reup their roles in the next Twilight movie, "Breaking Dawn."

Greene and Lutz signed contracts last nights, acccording to sources close to the deal.

Movie studio Summit Entertainment, which has made billions off the franchise, had been in negotiations with the two supporting characters since last week, but the two actors reportedly wanted pay increases for the next movie since the studio did not allow them to renegotiate on the second and third films.

Summit caved in after the two actors held out for more cash. "The studio realized how valuable Ashley and Kellan are to the franchise and did what they needed to do to keep them," said a source close to the situation.

Reports said the kids have been trying to score paydays of $1.5 million. Sources said they two will receive close to that amount to continue on in their roles. "It was a good deal," said the source.

The money is still much lower than what Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are supposedly pulling in.

"Breaking Dawn" will be the fourth and fifth movies of the Twilight franchises.

Hey I know I'm in a minority here but i absolutely love Jacob and Bella ship. i think that ive read EVERYTHING (including some crack fic that im not too proud of). Could someone please rec some fics for me?

NOTE* I'VE READ EVERYTHING BY STRETCH, BLUE SUE (BLACK AND BLUE), AND YSAR

GOOD MORNING CAMPERS!!!

Here are two more pics from Rob's visit to Ellen yesterday!

DEER GAWD!  I do love his hair.  J/S.  :)

Makes me feel all...

So today I'm feeling monumentally shit-tastic and I need some cheering up

I had a pharmaceutics exam yesterday while I have the flu and I've totally failed and it was just horrible

I'm supposed to be revising for my chemistry exam but I'm not

I'm trying to finish writing the fourth chapter for my new fic but I can't even though I know exactly what I want to say but my brain simply won't work

and I baked a cake but it died!

the sun isn't out any more, I'm alone in my house and missing my bf and I need cheering!

Any fun films? t.v shows? clips? gifs? photos? anything at all

Share the happy-ness?

what do you do when you're all procrastinating and down and crap?

They're all as sad as me :(

By the way...wtf is this?

 This is my first campfire so bare with me, but I just HAD to tell someone! if this isn't approved, ya'll can delete it.

But I'm sitting here resisting the urge to BANG my head over and over on my keyboard. I might be slowly loosing my mind... and it's ALL HIS FAULT! Yes HIM!!!!

OK... lemmie just quit stalling and get to the point! I did something COMPLETELY out of character because I just got to blinded by all this... I dunno like Twilight/Edward/Rob fic induced coma I've fallen into. I've been home sick for over a week and just reading, reading, reading and I think maybe somewhere the lines got blurred (I also blame enormous amounts of cold medicine for this)... anyways I actually made a RL decision based off my er, fascination, with his man and now I'm too Embarrassed to tell any of my RL friends. But the secret is EATING away at me! The super fukked up part is I would totally do it again! I just know they won't understand, hell some of ya'll would might think I'm nuts too, but maybe someone... anyone... might not I've lost my mind? That would make me feel 10x better!

But really, am I alone in all this? Has anyone else made any kind of RL choice/change/decision based off anything related to the fandom??? Taken piano lessons, played a family game of baseball, apply to any schools in Alaska or even to Dartmouth, maybe meet someone who reminds you of Rob/Edward so much because he's the same height, complexion, with a accent and that messy beautiful hair and he sings and plays piano & guitar, and dropped out of medical school to pursue music and smokes and curses and is completely insane but incredibly brilliant and maybe you actually start to picture Rob/E when he kept talking in that Same accent saying stuff you don't 100% understand and then he's not talking and its GREAT and then your like WTH did I just do? I can't think of any more examples because my incident is the only one blinking in bold neon in the front of my brain... 

Ok thanks for letting me just get that out!

Good morning Campers!!! =D Here's the clip shown on Ellen for Nikki Reed's visit!! 

I don't exactly know what to say about this! ha ha!

Yes, I am in love all over again.  The hair, the hands, the humor so deadpan it's dead (nits?  Oh Rob.).  I LOVE him.   Um, so just maybe there might be a few who feel the same here? One or two?  Everyone but Stretch perhaps?  (That's the interactive bit.)

As I have been excitedly posting, here are some pics from today's trip.

We will go to the local sights tomorrow, and many thanks to those who gave us suggestions and tips!

Just from the drive in, we all started to get a more detailed feel for both the Saga as well as the fics.

We ended up not leaving Coeur d'Alene  until 11 a.m. which put us in  Forks around 9p.m

We are a bit slap happy by the time we arrived.We were hoping to meet up with Wycked Dream in Seattle, but time was short. We will be meeting up on the way back, and are looking forward to meeting her. Any other Seattle takers? We will be leaving Forks Thursday mid-morning. Just pm me so we can coordinate.

Interactive part: Kake's comment on Robs hair: "He looks like a rooster, but I don't hate it..."

I kinda like it.

Favorite Rob Hair?  Show us.

 ETA: It's flippin' beyond beautiful here.

So, since you Campers are not entertaining me enough (build more on-topic fires, dammit), I've been screwing around on Twitter & I found the following random Tweets about Twilight related stuff that made me go "huh?"

Like, what are these people thinking, or not thinking?

I realize people probably think I'm a nutcase because of ADF, but in actuality, Twilight is NOT my whole life.

canwejusthug Oh so his eyes change color when he wants something...is this a metaphor for something else Stephenie Meyer?

LittleLauren OMG! My brother finished the Twilight series while he was away. Said 'Breaking Dawn' was shiteous. WOOO I'm SO proud!!!

Emmairl I know Mr. Pattinson can't help it, but don't the producers know that Edward isn't supposed to age (or buff up)?

RebGillis theres a street in my town called Robert-Stewart. i guess Kristen is more manly than Rob, its only fair he takes her name when they marry.

Let's discuss the ridiculosity, or collect more head-scratching one-liners.

Scurry now. Go get 'em. Thank you.

Have you ever witnessed someone being bullied and just walked away? Have you ever gone out of your way to help someone who was being bullied? How do you think it impacted you and the person being bullied?
