Hey everybody! "An Abridged Account" updated!  Yesterday and today!  If I knew how to link to it I would...help for the internet illiterate, please?

Hi Guys,

So I made it to the Amber Benson signing. She is pretty amazing, if I say so. You can tell, my baby boy is taken with her already.

I have gifts for 3 of you.

One (1) signed Tales of the Slayers graphic novel

Two (2) signed copies of Amber's novel "Cat's Claw"

Please comment and let me know which one you would like.

 Not sure if we're allowed to leave massive love fest posts for particular authors bdays but...

We all gushed in memory of FoG's THE ELITE  a few weeks back and I figure, if we can gush about a fic, why not about one of our FAV Author's Bdays?!

 AND because I'm not close enough to give you a present, I figure some man meat is in order..

LOVE your Cult Of Kellan follower (number one I should add)  Cass xoxo

p.s. Plz to be leaving FoG some love in the way of Thin Mints, Yellow Jello, Kellan, Jackson, Cam Gigandet in a skirt or even random Ryan Reynolds or Hugh Jackman pic spam

I just got back from the MUSE concert, and let me tell you, it was AMAZING.I went to see them in Gwinnett Arena, Georgia. They were just phenomenal. They played Super Massive Black Hole, Knights of Cyndonia, Citizen Erased, Uprising, Blackout, Starlight, Falling Away With You, and Time is running out as well as others. I was unable to hear after the concert, but it was well worth it. I also purchased a Limited Edition Muse Zip Up Hoodie.

hi guys. i have a couple questions about saving backups of the fics you read.  i've read people say they save the fics they like. 

my questions are:

- why save? because you like it so much? you think it may be removed?

- how do you save? copy and paste every chapter in a word doc? i can't think of any other way to do it.

- is it ethical? what if the author later takes it down? should you still have a copy?

I'm sat up waiting ofr my in laws to get in so that Dh can get some sleep. I'm hungry. I grab my FIL's cheerios (honey nut) which I never allow myself but they're delicious and I got to thinking that since tomorrow is Sunday there's a good chance if I were back home I'd possibly be enjoying a delicious British Sunday breakfast (not that US breakfast's arent' delicious, they are)

My favourite part of that breakfast is black pudding (which is a kind of boiled blood), which got me grinning because of my love for vampires and because I'd never made the connection before. But anyway, then I wondered if Rob liked black pudding, since he's British, and if he doesn't what kind of 'breakfast' guy is he? What would some lucky woman somewhere possibly be making him tomorrow morning if they were to stay in for breakfast?

I can see him loving a traditional British greasy fry up - it's the perfect hangover cure.

What do you see him liking? What kind of breakfast brings back fond past memories for you?

Silly thought trail I know, but my tired but always busy mind went down this trail so I thought I'd post and ask.

YUM

AND

YUM

Since it's Saturday night, let's all let our hair down and do something a little different in the Forest this evening. What do you say?

I propose we talk about Robert Pattinson!

Specifically, let's discuss his acting career.

Over the past few months, I've seen various news (gossip) outlets pair him with a WIDE variety of ROMANTIC COSTARS, based on speculation about his personal life and past roles he's taken AND pure conjecture because of random folks he's been photographed with.

In fact, I've spent the past hour collecting visual aides for this Campfire. Feast your eyes on a sample of the evidence:

But first, let's discuss potential Leading Ladies. We've all heard the justification for the racy DETAILS magazine spread that came out earlier this month: This actor's career needs to mature beyond the role of a perpetual seventeen year old. Ergo: sexy pictures, and it follows: sexy roles.

We all know about this gal, and we know he's got one in the can and another (or two) in talks with her. Will Summit take advantage of the sex appeal and forget the fade to black?

... more inside ;)

Missing my man who is away for a week, curled up in bed with period pains feeling pretty damn sorry for myself.

You know what this calls for? That's right a bit of fan fic.

Please recommend me something, God i sound pathetic, lol.

I'm looking for a story with an Edward that you fall head over heals in love, perhaps a rich successful Edward and poor girl Bella combination. Those are always fun.

Anyway whatever you think, A/H please. Just not in a vamp state of mind, lol.

Thanks guys : )

Totally not worth a camp fire, but I hate being a small X. I have the icon I use for most Fandom stuff (Mad Men me, in a blue dress). It won't fit - one is too big and the other is too small. Then I mafe a Conversation Heart one and it's 103X103 and I REALLY want to use it but I can't figure out how to make it smaller. I'm on your standard Vista machine. The "help" in Paintbox ws no help. Advice?

In trade I give you this - Jackson in  "Hurt" with a good old fashioned working man tan *hot*

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!
