Tides, by Lambcullen is completed now, on Twilighted...

Beautiful story!

Summary:

Bella's inheritance - an old house once owned by Granddad Aro. However, she is surprised to find an unexpected house guest living there. He knows her, but who the hell is he?

GO READ NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonjour mes petite amis [end of FRENCH knowledge]...I have just started my diet [again for like the 1000th time this year] and also, my mother-in-law is about to ask my husband to give..yes...GIVE her $15,000 [yup 3 zeros]...which we clearly don't have...but, I will not let that spoil my mood, cause even though, I've just joined the Forest and I don't know any of you [save for those I know through reading your stories - you're all awesome]...I REALLY LOVE YOU GUYS!

So please reccomend some Remember Me type Fics [if they exist]...you know bad boy/rich Edward, good girl [or super smart] Bella...little bit of angst and loads of LURVE.

[I know I'm constantly asking for reccomendations but I'm greedy. Please don't hate me. SERIOUSLY.]

As my lovely pal, GrownAssWoman (paraphrasing Ferris Bueler - that's why I love her even more) said - life is too short. 

If you don't slow down and look around, you might miss something.

Slow down today.  Notice something wonderful and amazing.  Take the time to make a new friend or try something new.  Put the wonder back in today.

Happy Thursday Forest - I hope you have a wonderful, gorgeous day.

<3 Me

can i do this? if not sorry my first campfire. haha

but what i wanna know is where people get emmetts last name as McCarty and Esme's as platt

i have seen in in numerous fics, but i dont remember ever seeing it in the book...

also another random RANDOM question.

Would you categorize hot dogs as delicious?

me and my friend always argue over this. i think hot dogs are good, but i would

never call them delicious. that category IMO is reserved for things like cheesecake, and sweets.

OK, I do not know really how to work this. My name is Gloria and I'm on line with my family right now. Sheila, one of my sisters, has asked me to post something to the "communities" that my sister, Lisa, participated in. I tried to do it at a Forest but I don't know how and this besides a few other places, this is one of the tabs that opens when I am on her laptop.

Message from our family.
----------------------------------------------------
While our family is traveling during this time, we would like to thank everyone for all of the emails, phone calls, and messages that have been sent. My family was not aware that Lisa participated in fan fiction writing and we honestly did not realize that she had such a large community of friends in the virtual world. Lisa had asked me (Sheila) not to share her writing with the family because I think she was worried they would tease her. It was our little secret. Or so I thought. One of our sisters (Gloria) has been going through emails and message boards that Lisa had bookmarked on her laptop and she is putting together these messages so that she can print them for my mother and father to easily read.

Our hope is that you look at your own family and friends today and let them know you care.

We thank you for respecting our privacy at this time and know that you agree Lisa would probably write a huge entry of some sort, full of bad language, chastising me for not responding to each of you personally. That was her thing. Giving each person her full attention and respect.

We pray you do the same in your daily lives. The attention and respect thing, not the post of cursing.

We would like to thank those of you who participated in her daily life with her:

The Gazebo
A Different Forest
Live Journal
Fanfiction

Thank you also to: vysed, greeengoldfish, nerac, lara, em, araeo, and amerymarie for being there for our little sister (Gloria) tonight.

How do I get the owners/moderators of this site to respond? I have tried email to no avail.

My personal blog that has NOTHING to do with Twilight has been posted in a thread without my permission and I would like it removed.

Hey Everyone...

Today is kinda strange, huh?  The day started off kinda silly and funny and I got NO work done (again).  Then things were kind of snarky and a wee bit negative, then we started sharing our opinions ON opinions....this was good.

Then we received the tragic news that our fandom lost two beautiful members today...

LISA, aka LASMKE and KE, aka 4LETTWRD

And everything changed.

Suddenly, we forgot the snark and the pettiness and quickly rallied together offering virtual hugs, thoughts, and prayers. 

We are reminded of the frailty of life and of how precious it is.  We are reminded that everything we tend to take for granted, can be taken away in an instant.

Tonight, when I tucked my children into bed, I gave them each an extra hug and an extra kiss because LIFE is too short to live a single moment without siezing it, without telling the ones you love how much they mean to you.

There's a lesson here.

Do not let a minute pass without telling the people you love how you feel.

Go. Right now, tell you husband, your boyfriend, your mother, your father.... that you love them.  Kiss your children, hug your dogs, send your BFF a text message.  And then come back here, and tell someone, anyone in the fandom how much they mean to you.

THIS IS A LOVE POST

I'll start...

INFERNALHEART... I love you.  You totally get me and I've never met anyone like you...ever.  I'm so thankful for ADF for bringing us together.  YOU COMPLETE ME.

ADF RANGERS... I love you--all of you.  Thank you for this wonderful website where I have met some of the most amazing women I have ever met in my life. And for giving me a forum to be ME without holding anything back.

JANDCO... you espesh.... I've had a girl crush on you forever, but more than that, after getting to know you....no one makes me laugh like you do.

HMONSTER4 ... I love you for all that you for all of us. And I love you for your words, your inspiration and for helping me to become a better writer.

CAMPERS... I love you all.  Your my sisters, my campadres, my friends.  And really, I'd rather be here right now with you....knowing my kids are tucked in tightly upstairs, knowing my hubz is waiting for me in bed...than anywhere else in the world.

your turn....

Ranger Edit (copying from greeengoldfish): PLEASE STOP SENDING MESSAGES TO LASMKE ON FF AND LIVEJOURNAL AND TWITTER AND WHEREVER ELSE.

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH HER SISTER.

IT IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO SORT THROUGH AND FIND WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN HER CORRESPONDENCE RIGHT NOW.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5790884/1/

you can leave messages there for lasmke and her family.

Hiya! :)
So, I just finished reading hunterhunting's new one shot called 'Varying Shades Of Difference" and now I'm craving some good, hot & sweet Skateward. Does anyone know any good story like that? Also, how hot is Edward with a Mohawk? *sigh*
Oh and I know I'm always asking for new fic rec's, but what can I do? I'm an avid reader and instead of reading the books I'm really supposed to, I'm here doing what I do best: procrastinating. *shrug*
Well, thank you for your time!

Hey is there anyone who can send me the link to the quickest and easiest place for a FanFiction Downloader? There are so many choicest and I need some help. Please and Thank You!!!!

FYT:

"NEW New Moon Teaser" by RaggDollish

Angrybadgergirl just tweeted this:

this is horrible. I'm speechless. RT for vysed: not sure who else followed her. LASMKE passed away due to injuries sustained in car accident

I am horrified!

Okay so I'm not really good at remembering the names of fics or saving them, but there's this one fic that I really really can't remember what it's called and if someone could help me out...?

ok it starts off with Bella and I think she's just moved to Forks and its hot so she goes and sunbathes on the front yard in a bikini and a popsicle? She sees Edward and starts flirting with him..Charlie warns her about him and and tells her to stay away from him..
and um..Edward turns out to be a piano tutor to young kids... dammnit I can't really remember the rest..
It reminds me heaps of Resisting Edward and for a while I thought it was but I remember R.E starts off with Bella going shopping and meeting Rose and Alice.

If someone could lemme know what it's called would be heaps appreciated.

Everyone, if you want someone to read something

THIS IS THE PLACE TO PUT IT.

People tell me every day that they peruse this campfire to find new things to read.

So tell ALL of our Campers what you write, tell us what you read, tell us anything that you want to tell us that NEEDS attention!!

This is how you self pimp

I JUST updated. My fic is ONLY on ADF and I'd love for you to give it a shot. Click on the banner if you'd like to read it!

AND THIS IS HOW YOU PIMP SOMEONE ELSE:

This week you should read THE LONG WAY HOME by TheHeartofLife

She is one of our Campers, she is AWESOME and this story is INCREDIBLE, I LOVE IT.

As you know, I love me some Emmett. This is an Em/Rosalie story from Rosalies POV and it is fantastic

Read it here: THE LONG WAY HOME

Popsugar's Interview with the New Moon director revealed something that I think most of us campers agree with.

When you go back and watch it again, are there things you'd like to change if you could?

 I would like to never have shot Rob and Kristen running through the forest and Kristen's just turned into a vampire. Because everybody always laughs and it makes me feel terrible. [Laughs] I would have shot it a different way so it wouldn't get that response. But otherwise, I'm very happy with things.

So, The Fic Bridge is doing a beta love day on March 7th. Everyone should go check that out here:

http://theficbridge.blogspot.com/2010/03/beta-love-3710.html?zx=bd18ae0ea155170b

We have a lot of posts talking about how to find a beta but my questions for you are:

Who is your beta?

How did you find her/him?

My betas are xsecretxkeeperx and acciodanrad9. xsecretxkeeperx is one of my favorite authors and it took a lot of courage for me to ask her to read the first two chapters of my story. I completely fangirl'd when she offered to be my beta. acciodanrad9 is my RL BFF.

I want to hear them - awful lyrics, gag-worthy songs related to vampires.

Here's mine -

 Can you disagree with someone without worrying about hurting their feelings?

Can you say what you feel, even if it is different from one or many and have it not come across as "mean"?

Is it possible to have a real debate without that debate getting personal, especially when you are talking about opinion?

_______

I ask these questions because I REALLY want to know your thoughts. Often times we have campfires here on ADF where someone posts a fic that they are angry about or they post that someone looks good or bad and others come out and disagree. All too often these disagreements can seem personal, but in a way, a disagreement on your opinion IS personal. To you, is that okay?

I OFTEN don't agree with people's tastes in fanfiction. I like different ships, not loads of sex scenes and I hate wordy chapters. But that is my opinion. Should I be able to share it without the camper who posted getting upset?

I think Robert Pattinson can look awesome in some pictures but look terrible in others, often in direct opposition to others feelings. Is that okay?

If I didn't like Breaking Dawn or I didn't like the Remember Me Script or I don't ship Rob/Kristen, is that okay?

_________

This is a campfire for your philosophy on voicing opinions. I have been thinking about this all day. I am not taking sides, but I would like some serious opinions. I have a feeling if we are honest, we will find that there is a broad spectrum of sensitivities, right or wrong. 

I understand these Cullens want to stay inconspicuous and things (despite the huge houses and fancy cars and clothes)  but--with all of their resources, like infinite money and knowledge, you'd think they'd be DOING something.  I don't know, philanthropy of some sort or curing diseases or creating a plan to end world hunger. 

Or, maybe not.  I'd probably just be ridiculous and flaunt crap, too.  Anyway, to the point, Campers.  If you had Cullen style resources, what would YOU be doing?

It doesn't have to be anything charitable--it could be, like, buying ocean front properties and diamonds.

We've heard snippets and rumours about Twilight being spun as a tv series (mostly in other countries and sans the current cast)

What I want to know is what is/has been your most favorite vampire series on tv?

Doesn't matter how old it  is either.

So let me know if I have missed something good!
