I gotta PM today, asking me if I take fanfiction seriously (it wasn't nasty or nothin', don't worry) and it got me wonderin'....

SO, ADIFFERENTFOREST.COM, 

?

lol, i don't.

 As in, I finally bit the bullet and created a twitter.  Who should I, can I, follow?  I feel so weird just asking to follow peeps.........

I'm @justamirror2  (some bastard has my handle already)

What are your favorite getting ready for the weekend songs?

I always listen to Kriss Kross on Fridays and it makes me so happy. Share with me your favorite Friday jams.

Is there a way to know if a story here on ADF is completed or not? I can't read stories in progress cause i'm just too damn impatient. I'd love to start reading some new ones here, but don't want to hit the end and be all like DAMN that's not finished....

While trolling the net I found this hilarity. I think the saying goes nomen est omen... Well, let's hope not. I've never had any reason to think he was dumb before.  But the one for Jennifer Aniston was kinda matching. LOL

Yesterday I discovered whymusicmatters.org. It's a website that encourages using legal downloading and streaming sites. In order to convince you, they have 8 or 10 videos about artists and their contributions to the world to let us know why music matters. Here are my two favorites.

You should check out the others. Some are pretty great.

For the interactive portion, tell my why music matters to you.

Ok girls, I need your help here...

I do not go out much... I don't have too many friends, and all of them have boyfriends, so there are no wilds nights out... Mostly we go out to have dinner, maybe a bar, but...no action...
This saturday another friend of mine is making a party... The only person I'll know at this party is my friend, so it's a great opportunity to make new "acquaintances" (ifyouknowwhatImean)... My problem is that I'm too shy to start conversations and pretty much an awkward person...

So help me campers... Tell me some tips to loosen up a bit, a good line to start a conversation... Have you ever find yourself in my situation? Going to a party where you didn't know anybody?
And, since we are in topic... Where do you like to go out? A night club? A bar? A concert?

Thanks!!!!

Today is my day off.  Happiness. See my avitar for how I feel today.   It's raining cats and dogs where I live, so I can surf ADF guilt free all day = heaven.   

I'm a federal government drone  employee, and I get to take advantage of what we call an "alternative work schedule".   What this means is that, every other week, I get to take a day off.  It also means that I end up working long (12 hour)  days during my four day week and that I am worthless come Friday.  

Do any of you other campers work for Uncle Sam?

What do you plan to do today if you're not working?

I had planned to go shopping for my husbands 30th birthday gift and to go buy a snazzy dress to wear to dinner.  More and more it's looking like I'll be staying home and reading Sanctuary because my ADF time has been really limited lately and I've wanted to read it forever.  

I may also get a pedicure.  What color are your toes?  What color should I paint mine?

Come inside and chat with me.  Tell me what you're doing today, what you're reading, and advise me on nail-polish and little black dresses.

For your time:

I PATROL THIS FOREST AT NIGHT WITH THE DARKNESS AS MY CLOAK AND THE GENTLE SNORES FROM SURROUNDING TENTS AS MY COMPANIONS.

I PROTECT THE SLEEPING CAMPERS FROM ALL MANNER OF PROWLING NOCTUNAL BEASTIES.

AND I MAKE SURE THE NIGHT OWLS HAVE THE FREEDOM TO ENJOY THEMSELVES WITHOUT DISTURBING THE CAMPERS AT REST.

I COVER MORE GROUND IN A SINGLE NIGHT THAN A LEAF ON THE WIND WILL COVER IN A DAY, AND I KEEP THESE EYES WIDE OPEN.

I AM EVER VIGILIANT FOR THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF ORANGE GLOW ON THE HORIZON. FOR IF IT IS FIRE, I MUST STOP IT; AND IF IT IS SUN, I MUST RETIRE.

I AM WELL AQUAINTED WITH THE TERRAIN, FLORA, AND FAUNA OF THE FOREST. FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANYTHING.

I'm pretty sure most of you have youtube accounts (if not sorry for presuming), even if you don't, tell me who your favorite youtubers are.

DEAREST CAMPERS

Just thought I would share this with all the Edward lovers out there who are like me and just think this pic is simply beautiful.

Please don't flame and tell me how bad he looks, I know I am in the minority and am not really a Rob fan.

This is my idea of a spunky vampire!!!

edit: thanks callikisses for the new avi, just love it to bits

don't even act like you don't know the words

OK CAMPERS. IT'S 1:30 EST-YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS...................................

FRIDAY FREE FOR ALL!

I HAVE A FEELING THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EPIC ONE!

[First Campfire... YAY!]

So I have been wanting to ask this for awhile, but I only just got the nerve to post. 

I am kinda new to fanfiction and I was hoping you lovely campers could rec me the Need-to-Read twifics. For example, I have read Wide Awake, but for a while there I had zero idea what WA was (I also know of MOtU now, that abbreviation confused me for a LONG time).  So, yeah, any other fics that MUST be read? THANKS!


For your time, my all-time favorite:
(I hope this works)

So you guys know me and boredom and youtube are like real tight friends so i found this video and i want to share it with you all i really do but befor it do

**Spilor Alert** If you haven't seen remember me you might not want to click this video or maybe you do who knowz

Umm i didn't see anything in the rules that says i couldn't post this but if it's not allowed I want to say now i'm sorry i didn't know

i'm probably going to get purple fonted for this.  maybe.  i don't know.  i don't start campfires, so i don't even know what the rules are.  sure, i could read up on them now, or i could just go ahead and tell you all that out of 1327 fandomy people who responded to a survey about fandom sites, a little site we know as ADF was among the favorites.  here's how ADF placed along with some of the comments we received:

#1 favorite Fanfic site that does the most to promote its writers
"These ladies personally ask authors to post on the site and then they tweet every single time one of their authors updates.  I don't know of any other site that does goes to those lengths for their writers.  And to tell you the truth, I feel more appreciated on ADF than on any other ff site in the fandom."

#2 Favorite site on which to read fanfiction
"I love the choices of different backgrounds, the 'cabins' where I can leave pics and message for the writers, and the quality is top notch."

#1 Site with the highest quality fanfiction
"The best authors in the fandom are invited to post at ADF which is pretty much a guarantee for a good story, no matter which one I click on.  I'm also really amazed at how different all the authors are.  It's clear this isn't just a club for friends or who's the most popular.  They really seek out the authors that lots of different readers love."

#2 Favorite site for Twilight and fanfic discussions    

#1 Site you recommend to everyone you know    
"I don't even read a lot of fanfic, and I love this place! The forest is so much fun!"

#1 Site with the best, nicest, or most active admins/mods     
"The best thing about ADF is the mods.  They play in the forest with us, make everyone feel welcome, and really make an effort to reach out to everyone.  Without the mods at ADF, I think it would be just another typical fanfic site instead of the amazingly different place that it is."

Do you like music AND fics? Well so do we!

community.livejournal.com/fanfic_mixes/

So a few months back, camper Kimvi and I made a mix for Dear Isabella. We realized that we had no place to post it and wanted to make a Comm on Livejournal. 

We suck at all that tech stuff so we never got around to it.

I recently told camper Erica_Lopeezy and she jumped right into it!

Thus, it was created. And we are now able to invite all that would like to join to come along!

We are moderated as the ficmixes are downloadable and we just want to avoid any problems that could cause.

All you have to do is follow the link above or here and post a comment in the post for it so we know who you are and click the request to join and we will approve you!

Hope to see you guys there.

For your time:

For mine:

 I'm totally new of the site and I'd like to know how to get around the "forest" :)  I have been ready a lot of the fics.. Which I love to do.. I'm more of a reader than a writer. I'd still like to know how to get around. If you could help that would be great! :)
