This totally has something to do with Twilight, er I think but....

WHO THE HELL IS TOMSTU??

I keep hearing things about this guy and I don't get the deal. All I know is that he's part of the Brit Pack (another anamoly I have no clue about, seriously I live in Britain and I've asked everyone around me if this is an exclusive club, I just get funny looks- what is it?) and since Robsten have been hanging in London, he's been mentioned all the time.

Who is he?

Are there times when the pages on ADF are wider than other times?  If not, then I need to get my compter serviced.  (Right now, the home page is so wide I have to scroll to the right forever.)

Go with me on this one because it's going to be entertaining. Anyone who grew up in the 80s, watched 80's cartoons, listened to 80's music, and/or happens to have a uterus is almost guaranteed to go through several levels of denial while being sucked into this...

If anyone hasn't played this game, do it now. http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-twitchy-online-game.html

Honest to god, Robot Unicorn is my new hero. I want a t-shirt with this mechasteed on it!

Then i sat back and though, "who is more awesome? Rob or Robot Unicorn?" I had to look at it this way:

Rob might very well be a unicorn, but he's not a robot nor is he rainbow. How do you compete with that?! If anyone hasn't caught on yet, this is for pure lols.

Go play and tell me who wins your vote. Gimme your high score, tell me where you're getting married... Just remember, Rob might not be as cool about the whole riding thing as robot unicorn. Another reason he just rocks!

 Edit: The song in the game is called Always by Erasure. The version in the game might be a custom remix.

I normally keep my favorite fic list up to date, however with all authors pulling fics and the FFn smut persecution I've managed to lose track of a completed story I really enjoyed.  Obviously I don't know the name of the story or the author but I can give a basic plot summary.  Edward must get married before his birthday or lose control of the family company as dictated by his grandfather's will.  He meets Bella through Emmett and Jasper and eventually they get married.  At the beginning of the story Bella is working at least two jobs to pay for Charlie's heath care as he is very ill back in Forks.  The story reminds me a lot of the movie The Bachelor with Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zelleweger.

Any ideas?  Thanks for your help.

Ok. If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I'm kinda obsessed with the Olympics. I spend pretty much every moment I'm not in class watching skiing or skating or people just being awesome.

Myself and some other people last night (cough pwtf cough) got kinda angry last night about a questionable call that was made, and it sorta destroyed my Olympic high, so to speak.

What I'm asking for here is to post pictures of your favorite Olympic athelete. Past or Present. Even better if they are attractive :)

Or if you want, tell us a story about the Olympics. Or post pictures if you've ever been (OMG, I NEED to go)

I need to restore my faith in the Olympics!

Mine are inside to avoid extra long post ;)

 What motivates YOU?? Is it a picture? Music? The feeling of success? 

Fill In the BLANKS:

This morning (or over the past few hours) I SHOULD HAVE _______________.

BUT instead I ____________________.

WHAT MOTIVATES ME MOST IS ___________________. 

I really need some ideas.

This morning I SHOULD HAVE

1. Finished my new chapter of Independent Variables. (I want to post chapter four this weekend)

2. Did about three loads of laundry

3. Went for a run (like Kellan up there)

What actually happened?

1. I put in one load of Laundry

2. I watched Ned's Declassified with my kid

3. I hung out on Twitter/LJ and A Different Forest

Hai everyone! So this is my first campfire and I thought what better way to start of a Satuarday than with a Rob and Tom picspam?

yumm. More of mine are posted inside. Didn't want to rape the front page

annnddd GO!

p.s. Manips are also welcome :)

It's going to be a wild week in NYC!  Lookie lookie here-Robert, Kristen and TomStu have arrived!

Hey fellow campers,

So my man has abandoned me in rainy old London for a week whilst he swans off to New York for business.

As I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself trying to find something to read, I had a thought.

What is your favourite twilight fanfiction of all time ever?

Let me know, I'm curious to see if there is a clear winner or if it will be mish mash of lots of different fics.

I'll go first, for me it's gotta be 'Wide Awake', I know that some people really don't like this fic, lol. I've gotta be honest a couple of Jandcos are tied neck and neck. But Wide Awake was my first, so I'll be sentimental. 

Different strokes for different folks and all that. Everyone has such varied taste and maybe some fics will come to light that other campers haven't read.

So let me know I really am curious. Can be A/H, Cannon, one shot, whatever. But you can only pick one Mwahahahah. I know tricky.

And please no trashing any fics, don't want to hurt anyones feelings. Just thought It would be a bit of fun.

Happy Saturday everyone : )

EDIT: As everyone else is picking more than one so am I, lol.

Thanks for making the forest such a vibrant, exciting place to be!

For those who have no idea, my birthday was this week.  I'm not one for big birthday blowout extravaganzas and since I work, I'm celebrating tonight with Hubby and several friends at a lovely, hole in the wall Indian Restaurant.  I have been craving Indian food and curry for a while now, so this greatly pleases me.

I know a lot of people have a type of food that is their favorite, but honestly, I don't think I could ever make that distinction.  I love good Mexican food and I'm missing that something fierce (German's idea of Mexican food is like yogurt sauce and honey mustard and white rice mixed with tomato paste.  My friend and I ordered enchiladas and tacos once, and my enchiladas were like some kind of deep fried flour stuff wrapped around strips of chicken with-yogurt sauce, honey mustard and v. strange guacamole, and the white rice-tomato paste mix.  Her 'tacos' were sloppy joe mix with jalepenos. I rest my case.), but at the same time I've discovered great things like döner's, European pizza, jagerschnitzel (Pork with mushroom sauce...mmm), knudel (potato dumpling) and many different types of brats.  Not to mention there is still Indian food, South American, Sushi, Chinese, Greek, and some of the most amazing Italian I've ever had.  The ice cream is to die for as well.

I do miss southern food, but luckily there are enough army wives from the south that can make some awesome comfort food.  I do miss me some cajun-German's aren't big on anything spicier than ketchup.  And home cooking...lol.  My parents came out with my brother and sister for Christmas and the first thing on my list was to learn how to make my mom's meatloaf.  I missed that so bad.

Now that I've gone and made myself hungry about 2 hours before we eat (so getting lots of garlic naan and saffron rice...omg!), what is your favorite cuisine?  Any food you love in particular?  Is there something you can't go without?  Or, even better...weirdest thing you've ever tried?

(my answer for that last one would have to be escargot.  I wasn't too sure at first, but it wasn't bad at all!)

Though y'all would want to know that Mistyhaze420 is moving all her fics (including Lessons Learned *fangirl squeal*) to http://www.rougefanfic.ning.com before they get deleted by the unmentionable ff.net mods.

What word processing software do you use?  How do you back up your writing?  Do you only use one computer to write?

Do you have any tricks that help you increase your productivity or focus?

I was using Google docs, since I love being able to work from any computer.  But, I recently realized I'm a lot more productive if I'm not writing in a browser, with all of those tabs to distract me.  Now, I'm looking for a marriage of the two.

I'm trying to restrain myself from looking in your post about what happends at the end of remember me. "SHOCKING TWIST!" ... Im dying here. Im going to see it on the 12th, just 13 more days. I really want to peek inside and see but I dont want to ruin the moive for myself.

To peek or not to peek? is it worth it? will it totally ruin it? he dosent die or something crazy like that dose he?!?

Edit: I peeked... and Im glad I did.

Okay, so I was browsing gossip blogs as I sometimes do and I stumbled across this piece on Perez Hilton's site (don't judge, I know he's a famewh0re, but he's funny). I don't know if many people knew of this, I certainly had no idea:

So You Want To Know What Happens At The End Of Remember Me???

Okay, so those who don't/didn't know and have no intention, DON'T READ THE COMMENTS! I really don't want to spoil the experience and revealing this info could do exactly just that, and I really don't want to get flamed, so proceed at your own risk.

I WARNED YOU! ^__^

 The Yellow Handkerchief comes out this weekend and I would love to go see it. Are there any campers who would like to join me at an LA theater on Saturday? 

To make this interactive....lets all make plans to meet up with campers nearby to see the movie:-)

Okay so, you all are the best writers/readers I know. And it takes Soooooo long for My beta's to contact me because they have so many stories. Also, hardly anyone Beta's Non Fan fic stuff. And I need help!

I'm writing a little love story; classic bad (ish) boy, Good (weird) girl with a pinch of humor, angst and drama. BUT I need Beta's! And since all of you are so funny/non-judging-silly folk, I'm thinking "Ah-Ha!"

So, if I post a chapter a week, could you guys go over it and maybe give me advise and helpful criteria? But most importantly, will I get in trouble for it?

Any way, tell me what you think of my idea!

Title: Strawberries

 Summary: Sydney Greene, a recently graduated high school student with dreams bigger than her bank account and a never ending love of strawberries, is finally on her own. Juggling a small job, her apartment rent, and finding time to make art, a relationship is the LAST thing on her mind. But when Zach Morgan, maker of good girls going bad and son of Seattles most notorious mobster, literally crash's in on her life, Sydney just doesn't know what to think anymore.

Zach would rather get shanked in the shoulders blades then be in a commitment, but Sydney's quarky attitude and inspiring paintings somehow have a hold on his wild life style. Can they forge a loving relationship? Or will Zach's lack of Charm and Sydney's hesitance in physical contact break them?

Please PM me if you need more info or if you can come by.

(Rangers, please let me know if this is not ok. I'm not sure who to PM at this hour...)

All I can remember about it is that it starts with Bella going to a coffee shop where she is going to give her wedding dress to Jessica because Even though I think Tyler and Bella were supposed to get married he cheated with Jessica and He and Jessica were going to get married when Bella and Tyler were and Jessica wanted the dress.

Then Alice and Rose, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward were at the coffee shop because they were going to interiew Bella for the roommate position. So when Jessica was trying to make Bella feel bad Edward stepped in and said that he was going to the wedding with Bella. I remember they went ot the wedding and had fun and started dating. Then I can't remember anything exept the last chapter I read I think Edward proposed to Bella after they slept together for the first time.

I had a really, really, really bad night. 

And it come on the heels of a really, really, really good day. 

I read dryler's "Bright Like the Sun," and it made me ridiculously happy today.  I also recently discovered "An Introduciton to Swirl and Daisy." 

Now, understand me.  I don't read "fluff."  I like angst.  Jandco is my hero.  When she pairs with wtvoc?  Nirvana has been found.

But I had a really, really, really bad night. 

So, does anyone have any fluff?  I mean, really, really good fluff.  Perfectly written fluff.  Ala "Bright like the Sun" or "Swirl and Daisy?"  (and seriously, if you're not reading those two fics?  Why?  They are both fucking brilliant!!  I prefer Jella or canon couples, and while I usually love slash, not tonight. 

Help a girl out?

THANK YOU ADF!  ILY!!
