Who here has no idea what author's are talking about when they say AU, AH, OOC, etc.?

I mean, I can give you the basics, but I'm still a little lost on some of the definitions, and I've been writing fanfic for a year and a half now.

AU=Alternate Universe

AH=All Human

OOC=Out of Character

But what about crackfic? I seriously have no fucking idea what that means.

Shall we compile a list of all the definitions in the Twific world? Yes, I think we shall. :)

This is approved by wtdboc. 

Hi campers,

I'm going to be visiting London for the first time in May!

Camper Littlestar300 (who I met through ADF) and I are planning on having a twi-fandom meeting there!

It'd be super cool to meet more people, so we're inviting everyone who'd like to come to join us!

              Date: Thursday, May 20th

              Where: London

We haven't decided all the details yet, so thats where you come in:

              Have any idea what we should do?

              Or where we should all meet?

It would be really great to meet some of you guys in England, so we hope you can make it!!!!

Thanks to all of the WONDERFUL Campers who have sent in postcards SO FAR

LOOK AT ALL THAT WE HAVE COLLECTED WITH EVEN MORE TO COME!!!!!!

If you would still like to send a postcard, the deadline for arrival is May 14, meaning that the postcard would need to be sent by the beginning of that week so there is PLENTY OF TIME. Just PM me from my icon on the front page or email me at emibella@adifferentforest.com for details!

I am AMAZED at all of our FABULOUS CAMPERS from so many amazing places.

If you see YOUR POSTCARD, Tell us which one it is! We are still finding out a better way for me to take a picture and you guys to lable it. I will probably wait until after the project has finished before I lay them all out nicely. I took these pictures as I took them out of my mail.

Also, here is a map of the USA. If there is an orange dot on the state, I have a postcard from it, if there is no orange dot, I don't (no making fun of my map)...so if you are from a naked state, I really do need your help! 

eta: A MAP OF THE WORLD is coming, I need to get out my markers :)

I am still trying to collect AS MANY AS POSSIBLE so if you want to help see how BIG ADF's POWER IS, drop me a line!

Good Afternoon Campers

(or evening or morning where ever you are!)

I just wanted to take a minute to tell you a little about someone I LOVE.

There is a camper whom I met here in the Forest.  For the last 7 months or so we have been talking/chatting/texting almost daily.  She has woven her way into my heart and has become one of the best friends I have ever had.  She's SMART, FUNNY, CREATIVE...and she INSPIRES and ENCOURAGES me more than I think she even realizes.

And today, Campers... she's feeling blue.

So I just wanted to take a minute to tell her how much I love her.

INFERNALHEART...  I ADORE YOU!! 

When you are sad, so am I.  When you are in pain, I feel it too.  Please know that where ever you are, whatever you are doing, I'm here with you and for you!

I LOVE YOU!!!

***

Now Campers... your turn...

TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU!!

It could be a fellow camper, a lovely Ranger, a favorite author, or a special reader who left you the one review that made you day!

IT'S TIME FOR SOME AFTERNOON LOVING!

this campfire has been approved by the lovely Emibella <3

Ok, so I feel stupid asking this but I have no idea how to make an avi.  I don't have any fancy picture software, just a couple basic programs.  I tried messing around with a couple pictures but couldn't seem to get them to be the right size, etc.  Anyhow, if you know of any good tutorials on the web or can give me simple instructions I'd really appreciate it!  Thanks!

Help me find this fic. Pretty please with a cherry on top.

I've been MIA for a while. I'm taking a 21 day break from the internets. I know, what am I doing here then? I'm breaking my fast for a little while only, I PROMISE!

Anyhow.  This story is about Edward ( They all are) who impersonates people for a living and steals their money? His new assignment is Bella of course. Its a new story but I can't remember the name.

For your Time : )

 He'll come get you if you don't help me!!!  Never mind that is a bad incentive. 

I got this pic from Totallylookslike.com...and.  Every square inch of these two bods are EXACTLY alike.

seriously.  look at this.  closely. 

Right down to the shadow in the belly button...this is the same image.  I think.

Thoughts?

I just saw this on Edwardville...

From TIME Magazine, the 2010 Time 100 issue where they name 100 people who most affect our world, Chris Weitz writes:

I have to be careful about what I write here because it will be tweeted the moment TIME hits the stands. And if I say something bad about Rob Pattinson, I'm dead meat. That's the devotion the Twilight films inspire. It's certainly not how he planned it. And though I am continually impressed by the aplomb with which he handles the hysteria, I occasionally think he would take it all back if given the chance. Because essentially, Rob, 23, is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who'd rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.

So how to write about someone who seems to answer Freud's rhetorical question, What do women want? Perhaps it's just worth pointing out that it'd be fun to have a beer with him even if he weren't Edward Cullen. That we haven't seen a tenth of what he can do onscreen. And that important things, beyond the veil of Hollywood, occupy his time too — music, conversation, ideas, a sense of the absurd. Which, maybe, explains why he never gets to my e-mails. I love you, Rob! Call me!

Hello Ladies (and Men?)

I have a question for you, as I do not want to bother the authors with annoying "when are you updating" questions.

It's been quite some time for "Into the Grey House" by pdd912 and "Subject: Edward Cullen, AKA The Womanizer" by ericastwilight.

Just wondering if anyone knew them/knew if they were still planning on finishing?

No one deserves a specail day quite like my dear friend STACEYGIRL aka JACKBAUER.  She's brought me so many laughs both with her writing and with her friendship, so let's bring her some happy and funny!

Bring on the gif's, the jokes, the sayings, whatever you got! 

I'm lame and I need to go find them yet, but you get started without me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

This local (Kansas city) IDIOT radio D.J. Blabbered on the air a few days ago about how plain and unattractive our darling KStew is. That's right ladies, the hobbit man pictured below doesn't find the incomparable Miss. Stewart's looks to be up to par.

That's terrible Natalie, you say, but what are we going to do about it???? SPAM HIS ASS! I say, spam him good with your sexiest KStew! Your hottest bitchfaces! Make this man sorry that my husband listens to his derelict radio station and reported his blasphemy to me!!!

Oh, did I mention that he is only the sidekick D.J. on the afternoon show, and that his "handle" is Slimfast.

AND that above stated blasphemy occurred during a discussion on how to get more female listeners, b/c they are failing in that portion of the demographic. (Duh, I can totally hear that level of ugly through the radio. *shudders*)

Here are his Myspace:   and email:  ***** No one asked me to delete this, but since so many of you were offended, I have removed the contact info from this post. Please feel free to SPAM me with hot KStew photos, which I will respectfully pass on. thanks****

 Come back and share your messages after you have spammed his ugly and clearly vision impaired ass, my lovelies!!!!

My dear Twife, adopted child, etc, Kake87 will be bravely getting aboard a train to cross the country to come from Ohio and visit me and my girls here in Idaho.  She is a professional lurker/occasional poster so I am lighting this fire for her with her permission.

She has a 4-hour layover in Chicago.  Is there anything she should see while she is there? (That won't get her lost or be unsafe obvs) 

Are there any campers that might want to go and help keep her company while she is between trains? 

She will be in Chicago on  Rob's birthday-May 13  How funny is that? (pm her for the time because we want to play safe in the forest...) 

Post or pm her with your recs!  

On another note..

Some of you know that I have been dealing with a bad shoulder the last few weeks and whined about PT. (I would now marry the therapist if he wasn't already-he can zap me with that shock machine any day.)

My MRI showed a small tear on the rotator cuff.  They did a cortisone shot... no dice. So my surgeon called me yesterday.  I am having surgery tomorrow~needless to say, I'm not happy about it and am a bit nervous.

After talking to my PT it boils down to the color of the sling I have on when I wake up.  If it's blue, that means they just 'cleaned things up'  (a repeat sub-acromial decompression) my shoulder and didn't find much damage. 

If it's black, that means they had to repair the rotator cuff and will be in for a much longer and painful recovery (months vs. weeks). 

And yes, this all comes down the week before finals!  (But,really, I'm ok there.  Heck, I plan to be back in class next Monday...)

So I come home to clear my answering machine and found i've missed a call-from the surgeon's assistant.  They found 'something' that was 'not a big deal' in my lab work and he wanted to talk to me about it today.  Of course I discovered this at 8p.m. A bit upsetting...after my initial freak out and panicked im's to Kake, I figure that if it was really something big, they'd have kept calling me until they reached me OR cancelled the surgery.

The point of my secondary rant (outside of venting of course) is to ask that you keep me in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow. 

*purple font approved*

I like to read completed fics, because I'm impatient.  Is there anyway there could be a master list of completed fics on ADF?  It takes me forever to search out what fics are completed sometimes I just cut and paste authors names into ffn because the list is obvious there. 

Maybe I'm just missing something that's already here and if I am point me in the right direction.  Has anyone created one on their own because I know some of you are horribly organized with your fic reading, I've seen links to spreadsheets. If there isn't such a list because it would just take too much work maybe a way to indicate a fic is complete without a bunch of drop down menu scrolling would be awesome, color coding perhaps?

Hi!

So we talk about everything here and the monster peen talk in Emibella's Weekly Rec post got me onto this idea.

Let's talk about the peen.

Not the sparkly peen.

The other peen.

Let's discuss it all- What size, length, girth is "just right" for you

Are you a fan of cut or uncut or just don't care as long as they know how to use it.

Share all on your perfect peen. What do you absolutely hate about it? What is the deal-breaker for you?

(We are sending this entire post to SM btw)

hey campers, take my mind off the world for a few minutes.

i'm as low as Bella Swan in November of her senior year.

spam me with pictures of GOOD THINGS.

There was alot of talk the other night about Bella being an Eve character & it got me thinking about this Hebrew legend where Adam had a wife before Eve named Lilith. She ran off because she was tired of Adam trying to control her (the legend tells of one time where Adam tried to have sex with Lilith missionary-style & she's all "MALE-SUPERIOR POSITION IS FAIL!" and refuses to have sex with him if he insists she be on bottom). You can learn more about the legend here in the response to the inquiry. It's not necessary to read beyond the links--after that it's just explanation as to why the legend is wrong.
Anyway, I'm thinking of doing a fanfiction based off this idea. Obviously it won't just be a re-telling of the tale with Twilight character names inserted into it, but I'll be using the idea as a loose outline for a storyline and using the characterizations. It'll probably be AH, though I may be able to an AU story with vampires. Bella would be Eve, Edward = Adam, Tanya would probably be Lilith because I could see her being opposed to lying under a man. Would you read a story like that or is it a lame idea and I just shouldn't bother?

 hello everyone!

im finally getting on here. probably not long, but come on give me some credit..... Anyways i met Jennfly this past weekend! She is total-awesome-rad-to-the-max. Jess and I got the pleasure to get drunk with her. 

I want to play a guessing game with everyone......

Question: What was the drink Jennfly had concealed in her flask that night? (no cheating)

Since Bella is one of the biggest self insert characters ever created in modern fiction-I ask you this.............

Should Stephenie Meyer play Bella in Breaking Dawn?

She wants it to be all about her and wants to live the dream  (even though she destroyed Edward Cullen in BD)

 Girlies, gawd I feel like im doing something wrong 

Does anyone have Frenemies by the artist formerly known as McVampy now known as angrybadgergirl?

If I had known she would remove the story I´d have tapped that shizzle a long time ago ..

what do you say?

uuu bribery?

What are you reading RIGHT NOW THAT YOU ARE LOVING???

Give us a link and tell us why

WE SHOULD love it!

What fic are you writing and WHY SHOULD WE READ IT??

What fic are you DYING for an update because you love it so much??

Again, we don't want fics with a billion reviews, everyone knows about those.

Wow us with your recs!!
