Oh Emmett, What's up with your hair?

So I updated my story today (um, go read it, thanks), ate half a burger (they forgot the cheese - ew), read a real book (hah), and thought - what can I do to become even MORE unpopular? Why, a shippery R/K campfire on ADF, of course! What else? So I came here and decided to ask you all to join me and argue, giggle, squee, or whatever it is you choose to do. Let's talk, let's talk a lot. I love campfires.

SO I ASK YOU - IS IT THEM?

Now, I love Robert, and I love Kristen. I love Kristen more. I love her so much. I kinda don't care if they're together, but if that boy hurts a single hair on Kristen's head - omg I will personally cut his balls off. That said, I LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON. Anyway, as I was saying - I don't care if they're a couple, but A PICTURE OF KRISTEN IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED RIGHT NOW, so if these are her ass/legs, Ser is a happy, happy girl. I've missed her so much.

Let's watch the video, shall we?

Now - let's take a better look, because that camera was shaky!

AND

Okay - now, I know Kristen's legs, and i think there's a good chance that that's her. Also, there's a bunch of alleged eyewitness report shit on some site somewhere. Anyway, I don't know. I don't care. I'm enjoying myself. How 'bout you? Thoughts? Oh! I leave you with another pic of their very famous backsides to stare at as you ponder:

 I got a plot bunny this week - a one shot is in the works.

Tragedy/Angst

Yeah - from me.  Little miss fluffy bunny.

So tell me - is there something you'd like to write, but aren't sure?

Something you'd like to see?  A crazy idea or something?

Someone writing something totally out of their genre?

Let's hear it.

i declare today appreciate a VIP author day

so, the forest voted in several new VIP authors last night.  congratulations!

now, i'd like to see more camper participation in the VIP cabins.  see that icon up there?  with the 3 little cabins?  it takes you here where you can go interact in the VIP forums, the artist tents, joe's place.

so why don't you get in there and leave some love for your favorite authors?  drop them a line to say, "hey.  i appreciate you for taking the time to post in the forest.  now enjoy this picture of ______."

then get in this campfire and tell everyone to read your faves.

Okay bb's, I have a free house, chocolate, alcohol and a ravenous two month withdrawral from FanFic that is now DEMANDING its fix!

Some serious Reccing is needed.

I'm thinking AH, College setting, Sex, Drugs and outrageous circumstances. A no BS Bella.  I wanna Laugh, I can handle some tears. Complete prefereable.

But if there is anything out there that MUST be read, send em over.

I'm shaking with anticipation!

You guys are my only hope! (does anyone else get bummed that their RL friends don't read FF?)

Thank you : )

Just got this PM on ff.net:

Hi. My name is ***.   I loved your story, The Best Man. Before you think this message is just to praise your story, please give serious consideration for what I have to say. I love writing. I may be young, but the more years that go by, the more spoiled a mind becomes. I really want to discuss if you would let me use your idea and turn it into a real book. This story deserves more than just fanfiction. The characters should become real, have personalities of their own. This story has such a great plot, humor and love and laughs. I'd like to write a story with this main idea from you: a girl comes back to her hometown to be with her best friend, competes to be the Best Man with her best friend's brother (secret crush), and ends up with him. It is entirely your plot, but I want to make it into a real novel, and add more personality to the character. Of course I know that you may not give this a second thought, it is in fact your story, but please think about it. I loved reading this and I'd enjoy writing it as a book. If you happen to agree, which I understand if you don't, I'd of course credit the plot to you. Please messsage me back to talk about if you would let me take on this wonderful opportunity. Thank you so much for the amazing story (I still tear up listening to The Time of Your Life, I'm such a softie), I hope to hear back from you. Yours truly,***. (P.S. I am a girl, alot of people mistake the name for a guy, and I am pretty young, but like I said, age is but a number)

Now... she said she's young.  I am NOT trying to bash this person.  (I even removed her name.) But honestly?  I mean... come on!  Or am I really making too big a deal about someone asking if they can take my story and make it their own?

If you are a writer...what is the most whacked out request/comment you've received in reviews/PM lately??? 

(My response to the girl is in my cabin, in case anyone is interested.)

 This is what Smosh think Roberts abilites would be if he was a Pokemon.

 Met Jackson Rathbone!  100 Monkeys did an in-store appearance at FYE in Boston.  They did a free acoustic set and then a signing.  They were all super nice.

Pics and vid for you:

Hey, I'm in pain, so humor me.

In TWILIGHT, Edward asks Bella a bunch of questions to get to know her because he can't read her mind, and his curiosity is therefore insatiable.

So, aside from "What's your favorite color?" which SM let us in on, what other questions do you think he asked her?

I would have asked her if she'd ever done anything rebellious and ended up grounded or in detention at school.

What did he ask? What would you ask? My favorite color is green.

COME ON!

What is it exactly about RPFs that people find so taboo and/or offensive? Almost every author I've spoken with about them has a serious dislike of them. Why? I'm the writer of an RPF so I'd just like to know for my own sake.  Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated!

I've posted a bit, but this is the first campire I've started. Hi, all.

So maybe reality is a ludicrous concept when we're talking fan fic based on a story about vampires, and many of said fics include vampires, but bear with me.....

Does it bother you when parts of a fic are impossible or in some way inaccurate... besides the appearance of the vampires?  Like with the main characters, do you have a problem with Alice and Edward's gifts being intact in an AH story?  It doesn't bother me for some reason that Edward can read Bella's mind in TB&TC, but I read another fic where Alice was psychic, and it did bother me, because it seemed to be there as nothing more than plot convenience.

Moving away from the characters, what about other details?  Is it a problem for you when the writer thinks you can drive from Chicago to Forks in less than a day?  Mapquest says this takes 34 hours.  Does it bother you when someone in the story can easily commute from Forks to Seattle for work or school each day?  Mapquest says this drive is 3 1/2 hours -- one way.

Does it bother you when a 9-months pregnant woman is allowed to fly?  Or a trial is moved OUT OF STATE due to the publicity?  Does it matter if it's a relatively unimportant detail in the story, or if it's a major plot point? 

If you're a writer, would you appreciate a review that pointed out inaccuracies?  Or since none of this is real, would you be offended by being corrected?  Am I completely OCD to want everything in the storyline to be plausible, except for the vamps, of couse?

I know weird question but really, Have you?

I get so tickled when I see people I know on TV, even if I see Kristen Or Rob on a movie.

I'm like Oh! Oh! I know them.

I know its so corny and dumb but I can't help it.

A lot of my friends have been interviewed by the local news if ever something goes on and they are there. Or the high school I went to before I started home school had a fine arts program and they were constantly holding fashion shows and such.

Also that movie BandSlam was filmed in my old High School, McCallum, and a good number of my peers were extras.

So I wanna know if you've ever been on TV or a friend of yours has.

I have, I did a documentary for TLC a few years back at that damn thing is still haunting me, I cringe whenever it comes on or someone asks me "Aren't you that girl from that show?" It painted me in such a bad light, and even I think I look bad.

And if this is against the rules feel free to delete it.

This is probably a dumb post to a lot of you but I'm immensely bored and watching the Fourth Kind (Creepy shit)

purple font ranger approved, despite the lack of DB photoshopped goodness

Hello everyone! This is my first campfire here but I've been lurking for a few weeks. I've loved the fanfic recommendations, discussions and of course the pictures that are posted. 

I decided to branch out and post tonight because I could use a good fanfic recommendation. I have discovered a recent love for reading fanfics where Edward is a dad. However, lately I keep stumbling upon ones where Edward doesn't know he's a dad at first, because it's been kept a secret from him (normally for no good reason other then Bella is ridiculously insecure/stupid). And somehow in the stories, this is always justified and easily forgiven. 

Anyway, I want it to make Edward angrier (somehow he always seems ok with it).  So, does anyone have any recommendations where this storyline happens and Edward is justifiably irate about it? If so, I'd like to read it. Nothing like angry dad Edward for me, apparently. Thanks. :)

Please join the Rangers in welcoming the newest VIP authors to

A Different Forest!

It's Saturday Night...Let's show them how we PARTY!

I've been obsessed ALL DAY LONG trying to figure out the title of a story and it's driving me insane!  lol

All I really remember was that Esme owns a restaurant (French, I believe) and Edward takes Bella there to 'woo' her on their first date (I think I remember she loves French food) and they eat in the kitchen with the fantastic chef. I remember that Bella makes Edward eat snails.  :)  I think Kate is the bartender at the restaurant.  I also seem to remember them (B & E) getting busy at the restaurant at some point.

That's seriously all I remember, except that I really liked the story.  HELP!  Please?

You know what I like.

Let's put our ipods/playlists/zune/radio/whatever on shuffle and post random songs, then we'll come up with a fic that relates to said song.

For example, I post this:

and you would say: OMG RIVER DAM! ok?

oh yeah,

big purple font approves of this suck-up image <3

It just ended and so sad about it, it's an awesome story, tell me your thoughts on the ending (if you read it), and if you haven't go read it.

This story brings so much emotion out of you is ridiculous.

Summary:

Bella and Edward are happily married, or so Bella thought. What will happen when Bella discovers that Edward is cheating on her? Rated M for language.

I'm having a prom dress nightmare-story. And, while it's still FFA,  in honor of the horror - I'd like to do two things.

One: ask you all for an honest opinion (I'm going to hold my opinion until I hear some others) of the dress I'm ending up with:

 Obviously, the hair and stuff is NOT done...but... the closeup of the beadwork looks like this:

And two: ask you to cheer me up with your horrifying (or happy) prom stories/photos. With all these lovely women here, I'm sure I can learn a thing or two about prom. :)
