I apologize if this has been brought up already but personally, I need some at least half decent answers for this. Someone please explain this whole permanent fic pulling business. To be honest, 'I've heard most of the general reasons and they just don't hold up for me. I feel like, if you can't handle the drama that may or may not crop up, don't post your fics to begin with. I'm not talking about published work, just fics that are pulled for [insert reason here].

Yes it belongs to the author, of course. However, well...I could say a few choice things about it but I'm sure it's a fairly sensitive subject as it is and I know we probably have someone here who will get offended if I let my mouth run away with the spoon.

I'll put it simply. I don't agree with it. If you can handle drama, post. If not, don't bother. This may be fanfiction but the realities of writing still apply.

I'm a fan of people spilling their guts, be in negative or positive, so by all means let it flow! I'd like to know people's honest opinions on this if you feel like sharing.

Here is something to brighten the topic for everyone. I adore this goat. I don't know what the hell is wrong with him but if I could, I'd buy him! Goat love <3

We all Most of us saw 10 second Eclipse trailer. Who would you pick for each character (down to the high school gang and tribe members... and dare I say it, Renesmee) if you were in charge of casting the Twilight Saga movies? I am still racking my brain about who I would pick. Show me your's and I might show you mine ;)

Sorry, if this is a duplicate post but I haven't seen it before.

Reese Witherspoon talks about Water for Elephants and getting to work with Rob Pattinson. (she starts around 4:25 if you don't want to listen to the whole video)

I'm reading this book right now and lovin' it. I want to run away with the circus or buy my own elephant. I'm so excited for the movie.

What about you campers have you read the book? What did you think? Are you happy with the casting of Rob, Reese and Christoph Waltz?

So, I'm planning on writing a Murder Mystery fic. But before I start I want to know how to write one well. I have most of the plot and the end of the story planned. Here's where YOU come in. Can anyone recommend me some good (real) mystery books?  Any type will do; Detective, Cop, PI, Cleaning ladies, Single Moms, the guy next door solving a mystery. Pardon my spelling. And for your help, here are some pics.

Thanks.

PS: I Know.... These are not new, but I had to give you something for your help

PSS: WTVOC approved.. That is why I put the lovely David Boreanaz up there

PSSS: Promise I'll shut up after this one. Thank you for everybody who recommended books for me last time. I am reading Lolita and A House at Riverton now!!

 ok so this is my first camp fire and I would really love if people would take the time to read the first chapter of my first fanfic and hopefully give me some pointers for improvements as I seem to really be struggling and my chapters seem to be very short, thank you :)

I'm kind of embarresed to admit that I had never heard most of the Artists and bands. I knew Paramore and Linking Park, for twilight, and that was it.

And I only knew Death Cab for Cutie on the New Moon Soundtrack.

It's kind of sad and pathetic because I like to believe I'm very diverse with my music, and I listen to just about every kind of music but I had no clue who these people were.

I loved the Twilight Soundtrack completely. I know all the songs and have the entire Soundtack on my Zune, though I dont understand what some of the songs mean they are very catchy and addictive. I guess if I really took the time to read the lyrics I would understand better. But I love the songs nonetheless.

I didnt like the New Moon CD as much as I loved the Twilight one. But I still bought it and put it on my Zune

I did like the songs Meet me on the Equinox, Possibility, White Deamon Love Song, and Roslyn. The others didn't really speak to me though.

What I really want to know is did you like the Soundtracks? Would you rather more publicly known Singers?

HERE ARE MY RECS: 

"NM ~ Redemption" by SkyAstrid

And because Remember Me comes out this week... 

"All We Do Is Insignificant - Remember Me" by Vera

Hello, campers.

I am here to beg and plea and then beg some more for your help. I read a one-shot half an hour ago and IT JUST WON'T GET OUT OF MY HEAD.

Wanna know what it was about? Charlie. And Bella. Having sex. And it was consensual.

I'm traumatized.

The author only puts the warning "unusual paring" in her summary and you have no way of knowing that you're about to read about a fucking incest. *shudders*

So yeah, I'm deeply disturbed and extremely irked by Charlie at the moment. And Bella, too. An I know I have no reason to be, but I just keep having this mental image in my brain, and gah... So I need a good (or several?) one-shot about canon Charlie (you know, the overprotective papa bear we all love), and some E/B fluff, too. Any recs?

Please, help a girl in need? Pretty please?

I saw this over on eclipsemovie.org and about DIED!

I've not seen a parody quite like this before...unless of course you count the one with legos...

That is all.

Let's talk about fics that you find REALISTIC.

What fic made you believe it all the way through? What fic did you relate to the characters and the plotline so much that you swore the author was spying on you? Even if not a whole fic, have you ever read some really relistic moments?

I found Unexpected by Ooohlala pretty true to life. Don't ask me for the link. It's been pulled. Sucks, I know.

I don't know what picture represents things that are realistic. When I google imaged it, it was gross. So thank me for just posting this instead (and thanks to patsy robinson for making it):

I should be working on my CV and a job application right now but oh procrastination how I love thee.

We see a lot of requests for fic suggestions on ADF and I just had a sudden flash of inspiration.  

What if...there was a site which worked like a database of good fics which made it easy to search for what you wanted?  It wouldn't host the stories, just link to them, and readers could suggest them as they stumbled upon them.  People could also add 'tags' to each story to make it easy to find similar stories.

So, fr'instance, you fancy a rich Edward like Lara79 a few campfires back.  You pick a tag closest to that description and see what comes up.

I'd love to make it reality but I don't think my technical knowledge is anywhere near good enough to create this (I can use HTML and CSS and systems like Access and Excel...and I do tend to pick things up quickly but I've never gone anywhere near database code like PhP before).

So...is there anybody technically minded out there that would want to work with me on this?  OR can anyone suggest free/cheap software that would actually make this a piece of cake to create?  Like I said, I learn quickly.  I've used things like Sharepoint before as well (also have access to Dreamweaver and MS Expressions Web).  Maybe it's not as complicated as I think it would be...

Let me know if you think this is a lame idea as well so I can get over being all excited about it and go back to doing what I should be doing.

To inspire you

P.S.  This Page a Ranger business...I was going to check this fire was okay to post but didn't know how to go about asking.  Do I just pick one of you from the PM boxes next to 'Start a Campfire'?  Cause you all scare me a little (I'm a yellow-bellied coward) and I had no idea who to pick.

Edit: I'm in the UK and it'll soon be time for my beddy-byes, so I may not be able to respond for a while (I can't seem to reply to ADF threads on my phone).  However if you PM me I should be able to read any genius ideas and if you leave an email address I can reply directly.  I'm not a crazy psycho stalker I promise.  

Remember Me

1 hr. 53 min.
(PG-13), for violence, sexual content, language and smoking

I thought maybe The Grove would be a good idea because...

1. Look! lots of showtimes to choose from :)
2. There's parking ($2 with validation)
3. It's a crowded public place so we don't have to be too afraid of meeting strangers.
4. We can pop over to the Farmers Market for beer/wine/milkshakes afterward if we want to socialize.

Let me know what y'all think & what TIME looks good. We should buy a block of tickets ASAP, I think.

EDIT: okay, so the 4:15 or 7:05 show at the ARCLIGHT.

me, prefer brunettes, O'Hale, and ericaL...

and everyone else is LAME, right?

EVERYONE WHO'S DOING THIS LA REMEMBER ME THING SHOULD PM ME SO I CAN BUY A GROUP OF SEATS TOGETHER.

 Hey,

I know you guys must get fed up with suggestion requests. But I have no where else to turn due to the fact I'm in the fan fic closet!!!!!!

So please take pity on me  pleeeeeeease.....

I'm looking for a rich successful edward and a Bella that's not a super business woman or an heiress, just a normal girl getting by. They can be set in high school too cos i love those fics, ha ha. Yeah I know, but I can't help it.

Also happy for Edward to be a bit of a player but please no bitchy player Bellas cos I've already read two fics like that today and i need a change. As you can tell I'm having one of those 'I can't stop reading days'.

Anyway I'm happy for angst/fluff whatever you guys think.

Along with my desperate begging I'll add this as a little thank you : )

Now that we've seen the teaser trailer and aren't afraid to say we're more than a little disappointed with the outcome is there something that your worried about?

Like what if the book wasnt honored like it should be.

The director choice. This guy has only created 2 movies, not including Eclipse, and they were thrillers. Other than that all he's directed have been music videos. Couldn't they have picked someone with more experiance and someone who knew more about this specific genre of the movie? Jesus they know millions will watch it they could have tried a little hard.

Or my biggest Complaint.

That god awful wig of Kristens. That damn thing will surely bug me throughout the movie.

I love Kristen till death really, but honestly her acting in the series hasn't been that great. Could have been worse but not great.

So what are you worried about?

Hello! I'm wondering if someone can help me locate some fics that went "poof" from my fanfic list....What happens in vegas follows you home, and The live in position, both from the same author (and i'm embarrased to say i don't know the name)...Anyways, does anyone know if she's posting at another site? Thanks in advance :)

lolll

XXX

So, if you're just as curious as I am and can't wait to know how the official trailer is going to be, I brought you this! But please remember, it contains spoilers! Well, not really if you've read the book, but anyway, better safe than sorry, right?

Check the comments for more! :)

ETA: I don't know if this information is true or where did it come from, I just wanted to share. And please, forgive me for my bad english!

So, I'm here to shamelessly pimp my new story, A World Away.

This was originally a one shot for the Officer and a Gentleman contest, put on by the PPSS, but I'm continuing it. Chapter 2 just went up today!

I hope you'll take a look!

Betsy (wandb)

Fics that own me right now are below...So what fics own you at the moment?
I started with 10, but a couple extras found their way on the list ;)
