I'm sitting here, watching Jackass, drooling a bit over Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O (yea i think Steve-O is kinda hot. so what?)  and wondering where they come up with this stuff and how they got the balls to do it. 

Have you ever done anything Jackassed? If you have, why? What was your motivation? Was it a dare? Were you drunk? TELL ME. 

I'll share mine in the comments. 

btw, remember when Brad Pitt was on Jackass? CLASSIC

Hello, all.  This was left in my inbox, and I have been instructed by the other rangers to go ahead and post it for Anonymous, whoever they may be.

You ask, "what is a kink meme?"

Two Steps:

1. You request a pairing and a prompt/kink anonymously.

2. Someone else (or several someone elses for that matter) will be able to fill that request--also anonymously.

This is a fun way to get fic, a fun way to find fic to write, and good if you're embarrassed to post! This is fun for everyone who is over your-(respective)-nation's-you-can-read-porn age. That's right. Shit is dirty here--and fun. We play fast and loose 'round here. We have a zero tolerance kink flaming rule.

Don't like? Don't read.

Example of prompt: "I'd love to see some Jasper/Bella/Edward threesome college kink! All human is preferred, and I'd need for it to end E/B. Not opposed to slash." We've already got five stories posted!

Come and check, play.

For all our married campers out there...

This is a spin off from the Music Rec thread earlier. I want to know the songs from your First Dance at your weddings! And if you're not married, post the song you'd like for your first dance if/when you get married.

Here's mine: When You Say Nothing at All by Alison Krauss

EDIT: Tell me how long you've been married. I've been married 10 years this July!

 Ok, so I know a lot of us campers are reading or have read Water for Elephants. And we've recently learned that Robert Pattinson will be playing the main character Jacob. Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz will be playing Marlena and August. 

Here's what I want to know:

Are you happy with these casting choices? If you could change one or all three, which would you change, and to who (whom? whatever, my head hurts)? Any one else you have in mind for the smaller roles?

And how much did you rage every time August stepped within 3 feet of Rosie?

My opinions?

Personally, I don't think this is a role I'd like to see RPattz in. I mean, yeah, he could pull it off (I think), and he certainly has the good looks, I just struggled to picture him as I read. But I'm not writing him off completely, yet.

And Reese, as much as I adore her, I think needs to GTFO. Marlena was married to August very young, and was only married to him for 4 years. In my mind she should be 24 at most, and Reese is just a little too old for the role, imo. 

Christoph can stay just where he is. No one could play this role better than him. 

My choices:

marlena:

jacob

Ever think about a fic you read in the past and you just can't remember the name for the life of you, and then you go to look it up by summary and you can't find it because its either:

A) been deleted.
B) been moved.
C) Your just a loser and the world is out to get you anway because you suck.

Happens to me all the time... Like right now.. again. So this is a campfire for discussing those fics that have slipped your mind or been lost in the ether. Maybe we can help each other.

Hello all! So nice to be here again. So I've got another one for you and it's a doozie. Here we go...

The fic I'm looking for this time was about Bella coming to live with Alice in North Carolina? Or was it Forks? Seattle? Idk.. not important.. Anyway so she goes to live with Alice because Charlie just passed away and she is greiving. She has never met Alice's brother Edward before but she finally does the first day she gets there. So yea they see each other and you know how it goes.. the clouds part, angels descend from heaven, fireworks, sparks of chemistry, the works. Anyway... somehow Bella ends up chipping a tooth or something but oh! lucky her, Edwards a Dentist! She makes an appointment to see him and falls asleep in the exam room and has some erotic dream about him, so when Dentistward goes to fix her tooth he finds her moaning in her sleep. Ever tried to cap a tooth with a boner? Dentistward can assure you it's very hard. So after she leaves he goes into his office for a wank, and it's some hot shyt let me tell you. Then some unimportant stuff happens and then finally Dentist/Wankward asks Bella out. He takes her for pizza at someplace that also happens to be a brewery and they drink beer, and eat pizza, and discuss their lives blah blah blah. There's a magical, fantastical kiss at the end of the night and the he asks her out again. On the next date he brings his motorcycle and takes her to like a touristy waterfall place in which she precedes to tell him about her greif for the death of her father. He comforts her, of course,and then they leave. But Dentist/Wank/Bikerward didn't account for the rain and the wind, so now he has a cold, wet Bella *snort*.So they get back to his apartment and he makes her take a warm bath while he dries her clothes and orders chinese food. Then he heads on into the bathroom where there is some salivation and a possible boob grope, and it would've gone further of the cockblocker/delivery man hadn't showed up. Anyways she changes back into dry clothes and after they eat their food they proceed to have an epic dryhump fest on the couch and then they fall asleep all cuddled together... the end.

Whew... lol.. that's like really long...I'm a horrible summarizer... oh well... if you know the title or the author please help me. I'd like to know what happened to it.

If you want to find the name of a lost story please post or even just stop by and read over to see if you know the names of any of the lost fics that are being sought....

thx all!

p.s. Also I want a rec.. I'm looking for a fic, preferebly o/s, in which, instead of Edward being a cockblocking prude, he doesn't stop at the leg hitch but proceeds to give Bella the good stuff. Now I know that this would be considered OOC for Edward, but thats the only OOC I wanna see... Meaning I don't want Edward or Bella to channel pornstars all of the sudden and start moaning like one or spouting out dirty talk. I want as canon as you can get it. Also If its beta'd that's a bonus.Thanx.

p.p.s.
THIS!

Hi there campers!

We all know how the author of "The Workshop: a tale of edible delights" pulled her story off of FF.net; well, for those who are interested, I just discovered that she created a blog where you can find it.

http://theworkshopstory.blogspot.com/

Since it is still FFA Friday, I have a request.  My daughter is getting married in six weeks.  (I was a child bride and mom. Don't hate.) 

We have to do a song list for the event  and I am asking for your help.  My  friend said, "It's sixty songs from start of the seating to the end of the thing.  There's so much good music and so little time. We don't want to listen to crap."  My problem is that I spend way too much time reading and not enough time listening to music.  This is putting too much pressure on me.  HELP!  Please rec me some music.  We need recessional music.  We need cocktail music.  We need reception party music.

I know there are lots of musical opinions in the forest.  Help me with some magic!

So here's the deal people: ADF is supposed to be exactly what it claims to be - different.  Different from all the other mindless Twilight sights out there.  The lovely ladies who started ADF have worked really hard to make sure it's a place where people feel welcome, no matter how they participate in the fandom, and you only have to look as far as the VIP authors to see that.  Our writers pretty much run the gamut of what we have to offer in the fandom: All Human, Vamp, AU, OOC, Team Edward, Team Jake, Team Switzerland, Team Jasper, hell, even Team Rocks Fall - Everyone Dies.  Basically you name it, we got it.  And I love that about this site.  The inclusiveness of ADF is to be admired.

That being said, with the HUGE influx of new members we've gotten recently, and with the premier of a certain trailer, I've noticed a trend that's very popular on almost every other Twilight site, creeping into ADF: Jacob Hate.

Bear with me here.  As a lifelong member of Team Jacob I have come to accept that there are some areas in fandom where we will just have to agree to disagree.  Different strokes for different folks, and all that jazz.  That being said, it's one thing for someone to explain how they like one character over another.  It's an entirely different matter to have to read umpteenth responses to various trailers exclaiming how "the dog" got too much screentime, or Gaylor, or Failcob.  It's not like there's a lot of wolf girls walking around her referring to Edward as "The Sparkly Pussy".

So I get that people will always disagree over characterizations, and characters, and the various books in the series.  I for one love dialogue, and welcome a healthy discussion or debate.  But the sheer amount of irrational hate is starting to make some of us around here feel like we need to go back into hiding until Eclipse debuts, and that's not cool.  That's how a lot of the other Twi-sites operate, but not ADF.  If you want to irrationally bash, there's lots of other places on the web that will receive you with open arms.  Livejournal is clear full of them.

I guess my point here is this: SMeyer created the characters, she wrote the books, and in them she envisioned a love triangle.  Summit is doing exactly what they were licensed to do in brining that triangle to the big screen.  So unless you expected Rosenberg to re-write the series, then Edward and Jake are going to have to share the stage, and their fans are going to have to share the internet as well.

In closing:

Okay, so judging from my previous post (Small-Time Fics?) there are a lot of Twilighters out there who root for the underdog.

I originally posted because a friend and I are working on a blog dedicated to Indie fics and pimping them. From the positive response I received, I'm hoping that a lot of you would be willing to contribute to such a blog.

So what do you think? Do you want to help us pimp the little guys?

Is it just me or does the use of present tense make some stories SO much better? I'm not saying it's right for every story, but I'm finding myself getting bored of past tense. Present tense just makes the story feel... urgent but detached at the same time.... Gotta love the freedom of fanfic to experiment with tenses and povs.

Does anyone else have a preference or are people indifferent? Does anyone know any good stories written in the present tense? ExB or AxJ preferably. My recs would be Uncomfortable by Savannah-Vee (multi-chap; slash) and Deviation by Kyrene (one-shot; really beautiful and emotional). Both are awesome. Links:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5806681/1/Deviation

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5526868/1/Uncomfortable

I used to read Apples and Oranges and Frenemies when they were up on FF and I think both of them were in present tense too, but I may be wrong...

Thanks for the recs :)

I was wondering if some one could make me a gif of kristin stewart playing hanky panky on the jay leno show

thank you

Own a Piece of RPattz!

posted by Rebecca Detken - Fri Mar 12 2010, 1:02 PM PST

Wanna own a piece of Robert Pattinson? Although it doesn't come cheap, now's your chance! Premiere Props is hosting an auction on Saturday, March 13, where you can bid on a few of the costumes RPattz wore while filming "Remember Me," which coincidentally hits theaters today. Items up for bid include a navy wool three-button Prada suit, a Ralph Lauren white dress shirt, and a pair of tortoise frame Ray Ban sunglasses that Rob's character Tyler Hawkins wears throughout the entire film. Fans can even bid on his swimsuit! 

Although the auction is scheduled to take place at the Premiere Props warehouse in El Segundo, California, it's not limited to only those living in the SoCal area. Fans can bid from anywhere in the world online at icollector.com o rLiveAuctioneers.com starting at 11 a.m. PT.

Okay, I think this is totally the third time that I'm posting this question today, but I really need the feedback ASAP.

Yes, we all know the big-time fics, and I have to admit, writers like LolaShoes and AngstGoddess003 are DA BOMB.

But, then we also have to remember the 'indie' fics. In my opinion, small-time fics need a bit more love than they usually get.

So, c'mon...sock it to me:

What is your favorite small-time fic that you think needs a little more sugar?

 ok, so we've decided the ArcLight for sure, but...

WHAT TIME?

there is 4:15 or 7:05?

erica-lopeezy and I are fine with either time, BUT I know that Jennyfly is sick again :(

So would the 4:15 showing be better so she can be home and in bed earlier, or is that too early for everyone?

Pleeease let me know asap. 

Thank you <3

I saw it. Just got back and couldn't wait to post (after imming Kake of course)

The movie is....

RANGER EDIT - THERE MAY BE SPOILERS IN HERE, SO PROCEED WITH CAUTION

^^^^^^^^^THIS ^^^^^^^^^

 My bad. I forgot that others might post them,lol.

Via MSNBC:

SEATTLE -- Seattle police arrested a man who alarmed people downtown Friday morning by walking around with a suspicious device strapped to his body and making threats.

I am sooooooooooo tired of looking at this crap outside my window.

I would much much rather be looking at something like this. 

Please recommend your favorite FF stories that help you escape to a beautiful/fun place (doesn't have to be tropical persay.  I've read Tides of Fate so please recommend something different.  Thanks so much for helping me beat the end of winter blues.  :) 

i have this song going round and round and round my head like my brain is on repeat, and it's even more irritating than the most irritating thing in the world.  i just danced down the stairs and my dad was like ugh willy wonka again? and i was like yeah. and i have bieber fever. this is a PROBLEM. stupid fecking sky hd and its stupid promotions.

so there you go. i've infected you all with this stupid bordering on ethereal song and i hope you all enjoy the next twenty four hours of seemingly endless HELL.

(ireallyhopeit'sfreeforallfridaycosotherwiseiminatonofvirtualtroublefromsiteadmins)

SO, I was watching 16 and Pregnant the other day and it made me pretty upset. Some of the guys are just horrible (i know that the girls can be irresponsible too but this post is about dads, i have  a point. just stick with me) Some of them on that show seem like they're heartless! One boy called his baby an it. One boy wouldn't pay for his baby's birthday cake and even said to the baby something along the lines of  "No f**king cake for you, bentley". So pretty much, this makes me really sad. And it got me thinking. I know the main reason that these guys act this way is because they're immature. They're young and they don't know any better. It's not an excuse but it's a reason.

So now, on to the connection to Twilight. One type of Edward typically found in fanfic is the player who, because of Bella stops his player ways and becomes a better person. Or an Edward who has done horrible things in the past. One prime example is the Edward in Emancipation Proclamation (LOVE this fic, btw). Some people flounced because they thought that the things Edward had done were unforgivable. **spoiler ahead if you haven't read University of Edward Masen**  One other one is the Edward in UoEM,. Even if he was addicted to drugs, he kicked out Tanya who was pregnant with his baby. **end of spoiler** Now personally, I forgive Edward for anything immediately because I love him and because he's fictional. But then I was watching 16 and Pregnant and I think, these guys are obviously pretty heartless to act that way.

So my point and my question are: Can you forgive someone of ANYTHING if you're in love with them? Is anything ever too much? Does anyone ever COMPLETELY change or if you had that inkling of hate in you, does it never fully go away?

tu show ma gratitoodé:

The campfire on cliches got me to thinking, Bella representations in fanfiction are all over the map.  There are cliches on both sides -- too clumsy and shy, or too strong and confident and thus "out of character".  There are Bellas we love, Bellas we hate, and Bellas we love to hate, Bellas we would want to be friends with, and Bellas who are in character but make us want to slap them.

So tell me about your Bella!  If you're writing something right now, what is your Bella like?  If you aren't writing right now, how would you characterize Bella if you were to write?  What's your all time favorite Bella?  (And give us links!)  I'll post mine in the first comment.
