For over a year, Twilight’s Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have shrouded their romance in a mystery befitting the stars of a vampire saga.

They’ve met in shadowy bars, snuck off on secret getaways and sidestepped inquiries from the media about their love life — that is until Oprah Winfrey started asking questions.

At the May 6 taping of The Oprah Show, she asked them the million dollar question: Is talk of a relationship true? Oprah got a doozy of an answer from Rob: “Kristen’s pregnant.”

Plus, check out a rundown of the most recent startling confessions from Oprah’s celebrity guests and a sneak peek of some scenes from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at this crap.  Give me a break people.  

Whatever happened to responsible journalist?  

Thoughts?  Rage?  Anything?

I haven't been around much in the past couple of months and I've missed this place so much! Life is giving me a LOT of ULAL!

I wanted to start this fire to say HEY BB'S!! and to get some feed back on the other side of the review coin.

There were a couple of campfires about the need for readers to review more and I totally agree that writers need and want to know what you think and feel about their stories. It takes a lot to put yourself out there and it's very necessary to know that people are actually enjoying the fruits of your labor.

But what about the need of the reader to get feed back from the authors? I know that some stories have such a high review count that they can't respond to each and every review...but is that really true? I know that as a reader, I won't mind waiting an extra day or two...or even a week for an update if I knew that the writer was putting in time responding to reviews.

I think this is especially important when a person leaves a review about how your story may have had a personal impact on their lives. Some people really put themselves out there when they review and that shouldn't be taken lightly.

So lettuce discuss....

If you're a writer....how good are you at responding to your faithful readers?

If you're a reader...how important is it to you to get feedback from the writers?

This Forest is downright dismal. NIGHT RANGER is bored.

The following quiz has taken literally HOURS to prepare, so you must participate or SUFFER THE WRATH OF NIGHT RANGER!

The answer key will be posted in comments in one hour, but it will be upside down, so even if you're not done by then you needn't worry.

WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE?

NIGHT RANGER TWILIGHT SAGA TRIVIA!

And by "saga" the books are indicated, not the movies.

So, inside this campfire is a challenging quiz covering all the books of the saga, which you fine overnight Campers will answer solely for the amusement of the NIGHT RANGER.

And because night time is better with coffee, a Starbucks girft card goes to the first Camper to get the answers one hundred percent correct BEFORE the answer key is posted.

Get down with your Night  Moves.

I'm reading The Lost Boys by hwimsey

www.twilighted.net/viewstory.php

Three young woman, three young men, a potentially haunted Victorian that's falling apart around their ears, unrequited love, and an up and coming band. Take all that, shake it up, and set it in romantic San Francisco. All human (except for the ghosts, of course), usual pairings.

I am in need of some help from my fellow fanfictioners. I really like Jasper/Bella, Emmett/Bella, Carlise/Bella, Peter/Bella stories, but I need to find some happy ones to read right now. I love my angsty stories, but with the stress of school right now I need some good recs for some just happy smutty stories. PLEASE HELP!!!!

1... 2... 3... 4...

I DECLARE RAGE POST

If you're in a good mood then sit this one out :p

RANGER WOLVESNVAMPS APPROVED

Alternatively, post video to your favorite angry songs.

After reading Emibella's post below, I'd like to put a challenge out to all campers.

First, post your review count from your FF.net profile.

Then make a point to review the stories and chapters your read over the next seven days.

Finally, come back next Tuesday night, and post your new review count. Let's see if we can't all significantly UP our review count in that time frame- and get into a new habit of reviewing what we read!

Come on, readers! These writers put themselves out there to entertain us for free. They're not making any money or proceeds or royalties from these stories that we enjoy the hell out of. So let's pay them back and show them our appreciation with the one thing we can give them- REVIEWS!!!

Seriously, you can spend anywhere from 3 to 20 minutes reading a chapter (depending on the chapter length & your individual reading skills & how many times your kids/pets/significan other interrupt you). Can't you spare a few minutes and write a review???

And I'd like to up the challenge by encouraging you to leave more than just 'Great chapter' or 'Update soon!'. But if that's all you can make time for then I guess it's better than nothing.

Don't limit your reviews to new chapter updates. If you are reading a completed story or start a WIP with several chaps already posted, leave a review for AT LEAST every other chapter.

I'm only posting ff.net counts here, but if you read at Twilighted or ADF, PLEASE still leave reviews there, even if we're not counting them for the challenge.

In case you don't know where to find your ff.net review count, here's whatcha do:

• Log in to fanfiction.net
• Click on the TRAFFIC tab
• Click on USER STATS
• Copy your review count under the GENERAL USER STATS
• Paste it inside this campfire

Here's mine-

You have submitted a total of 3939 signed reviews.

SEE YOU IN A WEEK!!!

...Yea, I'm going there.

So, my boyfriend has this cologne, that whenever he wears it...dear God. Life stops. I just want to sit there and smell him for the day. We don't even have to be intimate (although I get a little excited), I could just sit there, nose to his neck and breath in that beautiful scent.

Yes, in this little bottle is everything that smells good and wonderful in the world.

And being the dork that I am, after I'm done smelling him (I usually can't think much when I am), I think "wow...this is what Edward Cullen smells like". (Not Bella, that would be like your favorite food or something)

Am I the only psycho who does this? Whose with me!

What's your Edward Cullen smell (or Jasper, or Jake, or whoever)?

 35611/9 = 3956

For every 3956 times someone opened Chapter 2 of my story Independent Variables, one person reviewed it.That is almost 4000 views for each review!

I bring this up because I am not sure WHY we review SOME stories and not others.

Do we like reviewing popular stories to be part of a crowd? Why DO we review at all??

Do YOU tend to review a story more often that has lots of reviews? If so, why? 

Here is my goal: I ONLY post Independent Variables on ADF. I understand that a lot of people won't read it because of the subject matter but for those of you that do, I want to cut my ratio in half. Yes, that's right. I want to get one review per 1000 views. So, If you read me, review the new chapter that I just posted. Anything, even just a grade. I figure if I ask people I may be able to get my review ratio up to 1 review per 2000 views. At least that is my goal.

I just have no clue how to go about it.

Do you think that some stories just more reviewable than others???? 

 I'm a new camper, so I thought I'd start a fire to say hi.

Hi!!  

So, we all know Rob reads fanfiction.... he's admitted it. But what do you think the rest of the cast reads?

I'm thinking Nikki rocks the D/s fics like MOTU, I think PFach would definitely be into Ithaca is Gorges, and I can see Kellan eating up (pun intended) The Misapprehension of Bella Swan. 

From Entertainment Weekly:

Last week, we learned that British rock lords

Muse

will return for a Twilight three-peat on the upcoming third soundtrack installment in as many movies for that obscure little book series (is it about werewolves? vampires? hobbits? We really can’t recall).

Anyhow, MySpace tells EW exclusively that they will unveil the full soundtrack roster for Twilight:Eclipse, beginning Wednesday, May 12, at 11am EST/8am PST … and continuing on for many hours, at the rate of one band reveal every half hour. (We will do our best to update you in real time here; you can also get the updates on Twitter via @MySpaceMusic).

Last chance to place the bets of your Twi-lives and tell us: Who will be keeping musical company with Muse by this time tomorrow?

Let's Make This Interactive: what songs or artists would YOU like to see on the soundtrack?? Do you have an "Eclipse" song?? Post youtube videos!

So I was just getting ready for work and tripped over one of the millions of children toys around my house. And I threw out my back, again. So im laid up in bed for at least the next two days.

So I want some stories to read while im trapped in my room on my bed by myself for the next 48 hours (at least).

What Im looking for - Complete, E/B, little to no Alice, Angsty but not ridiculous.

Think that covers it. Thanks for any help.

FYT:

This post is fairly self explanatory.

Thoughts?

Let's hope I don't become a pyro....

This weekend I'll be without any interent, since I'm forced to travel to a very rural area for a high school graduation.  (I know!  I'll take the sympathy!) so I feel the need to download some FF..Can someone please rec a downloader.  I THOUGHT I saved it the last time this was brought up..but I'm not sure where I saved the info! 

Thanks in advance!

I AM DONE!!! with my freshmen year of college that is and this excites me greatly because I will be doing absolutely nothing this summer, yay.

But let me get to the point, this end of the year celebration means one thing. I need fics to read, I don't care what they are, angst, fluff, anything. rec me your favorite stories, anything goes, I just have one tiny request: that is complete, that is all I ask for is completion (some one shot wouldn't hurt either)

I think I just came.

I used to read this fanfic... it was about Bella and Edward- and they both had a lot of tattoos- Edward was a Tattoo artist- and Bella called him E----- he called her B.

They had a lot of crap happen to them etc etc... and then moved to Cali- where a new story began. Can anyone decipher what story that was and what happened to it? Was it pulled? Did it go to live somewhere else?

I  miss it!

Thank you for your help. 

I could be wrong (it does look very similar to the kissing scene by Bella's truck in NM) but I think this is a new still from Eclipse.

Rob looks constipated again. :/

Thoughts?

It's what ya'll have been waiting for.  HBIC - Sookie, Tara & Lafayette
