SOURCE (If you'd like to buy it, of course)

 ETA: OMG, PLEASE tell me what other weird Edward stuff you can buy on Etsy. I want PICS, campers!!

 OK So I read a fic ages ago and for the life of me can't remember what it's called.

NOW CONSIDER THIS A CHALLENGE

Here is the only thing i do remember is that it was

Edward/Bella.

All human

And....

The last chapter I'm sure had the song '5 years time' by Noah and the Whale as the song suggestion. 

The last chapter was set a few years after the original story and they were sharing a dorm room or apartment. Something Like that.

Each chapter had a song to go with it  I THINK one of them was bright eyes 'first day of my life' But might be wrong.

So yeah not much to go on apart from the last chapter, lol.

I would be shocked if anyone knows which fic this is from my terrible memory. 

But i thought I would give it a try, fingers crossed : )

I was just debating whether to take this off my Alerts list last night, and lo and behold she updated tonight!

The Tortoise and the Hare  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4849205/17/

There may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge". Edward and Bella, both with pasts that haunt them, meet at the worst possible setting. Will they ever see the other clearly? AH Canon pairings.

Yes I know I'm shocked too. In the NME awards here in the UK votes for Hottest  male are coming in and I'm afraid our Rob is not doing well. He is number 5. Shock, horror, mhm I get you.

Above him are Thom Yorke, Brian Molko, Billy Joel Armstrong, Dom Howard and Matt Bellamy at numero uno which I think he deserves even though he does look like a meerkat but the sexy voice is all I need.

But seriously THOM YORKE?! higher than Rob! As much as I love Radiohead (not very much) Thom Yorke is not hotter than our Robert Pattinson. I mean I'd get it if Brandon Flowers and Julian Casablancas were higher but they are not and I just think its TRAGIC. Capital letters and all.

So ladies and some gents go and vote for Rob here http://www.nme.com/rate/hottestmale2010/75/last/89/rate/4 and the beauty of this is that you can vote a gazillion times if you like :D and yeah you can vote for Taylor if you want as well

Also for hottest female http://www.nme.com/rate/hottestfemale2010/52 *cough* Zooey Deschanel *cough*

You can also vote for New Moon for best movie http://www.nme.com/awardsvote/11/ 

Winner announced on February 24th

Hope this doesnt like break any rules *fingers crossed*

Interaction wise Who do you think should be on this list?

Do you write fan fiction?

Want to show a peek of what's to come in your upcoming chapters?

Post excerpts from your story and don't forget to include a link! :)

Does anyone know any good fics that are set in the early 1900's and have Bella as a pin up girl? Please give me the links and I will send you twilight porn of whatever Twilight guy your heart desires!

— and so would Bram Stoker.

Trolling around The Rolling Stone site I found this review of the New Moon Soundtrack; I liked it and it got me thinking about how the music saves the movie in several parts.  

So, which song would you have included in the soundtrack of either movie or fanfic?  

I like this for New Moon.

And every time I listen to this I want to re-read Suicide King.

I know this had been done before but I am bored.

And the title of the campfire comes from said review.

Some twats tweets had me wondering... Have any of you met up with anyone from the fandom in RL? Who, what, when?

Personally, I haven't. But hey, anyone in the NY area is welcome to see boring ol' me. :P

For your time:

First, wait! My puny brain is still processing...

Lurkers out of the shadows. New background for the forest. Stories updated. So much has happened! I've missed so much!

Anyone wanna fill me in? I've lost count of how long its been since I've been here. I've missed it so much. I promise never to let university get in the way like this again. But right now I have no idea how I'm gunna catch up. So please fill me in...

And, the point of this campfire, my brain has been working. And I was just wondering...

Fic authors: When you make a character OOC, is there another actor/actress that you would choose to play said character instead?

I just got thinking after seeing how forevergold came up with Harry Treadaway for Demetri and Luke Grimes for Edward because they were different and OOC.

Let the talking commence...

Required:
Techie- based sort of person. Website designer, if you will.

Job Spec:
To design and teach my techtarded ass how to use a pretty blog site where I can post This Mortal Life without fear of FF pulling it or my Twilighted beta taking 6 months to validate each chapter.

Desired Qualities:
Sense of humor. Fondness for slash and general boy- love style fun. Endless patience would be useful. I'm a writer! I can't handle anything more complex than Ctrl Alt Delete or right- click save! (If my problem isn't solved by one of those two options, I unplug my laptop at the wall and go back to a pen and paper.)

Pay:
Pffft. Negligable. As in, none. However I am willing to share my Rathbone pics file which is extensive and yummy.

..... Now that the fun bit is over, I'm begging someone to help me out here. I'm genuinely scared that every time I log in to FF it seems like 5 more have disappeared out of my favourites. This is a dark time to be a fic writer as well as a fanfic lover! If someone is up for this please let me know. I really will send you JR pretties as thanks ;]

*sigh* 

First things first.

Did Jandco's bday story for Jenny complete somewhere?

Here's the main camp fire about it:

http://www.adifferentforest.com/Campfire_Comment.aspx?ID=2620

I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

Next! The Mortal Instruments Series.

My first thought when I finished the last page was: 

When will I fall in love again?

It's a good series, lots going on, UST, a bit of mystery. 

BUT. 

I just don't care to wonder what happens next. 

And I know it's not all about the pretty because this is who I pictured as Jace: 

Who is now this hottie!

So pretty's not the problem...

I just can't seem to move on....

Have you?  Has any other book captured your devotion like the Twilight series?

Let's drool some more...

I've been one a bit of a poetry kick lately, as the people on my lj friends list know (ahaha sorry) and I was wondering if any of you write pretty poetry or what your favourites are?

bad grammar is bad. I'm in a rush. excuse me.

So, uhh, share some poems.

Also, my frand wrote this for her uni class and I rather like it.

Lily - Minori blahblah lastname blah.

blots of eyeliner and
cigarette ashes sway in the
haze, only echoes that remain
lonelily.

the moments, they’re
buried, burned into memory.
memento mori. deeper into reverie.
lonelily.

a mere afterglow
you are
a shadow, shadow
echoing in the dust
and then blink.

the right words esc-
ape me, formless thoughts
whiz by like binary, binary
tie them clumsily onto a word doc-
ument, suffocate.

an ode to love. suffoca-
-ted by the grime between kitchen
tiles silence of the words
unsaid drowned in the pyres
of ashes, ashes.

vague impressions
you leave
roaming, roaming
cling onto signs
and then blink

the bouquet of lilies, they’re
dying, dying, petals are falling.
esprit d’escalier. nothing to keep you here.
lonelily.

chipped nail polish
nicotine fumes prance into the
days, a daze that remains -
lone
lily.

omg you're lucky that 1) i adore you 2) i'm not feeling 30 pt. today

next time get approval first, or i'll turn your post into an autoplay of sk8r boi or some other avril song, making you adf's new pariah

thank you, oh goddess wtvoc, for your lenience. ily.

 Good Morning Campers!!

I bring you your well wishes for the week...

We had a VERY interesting week here in the forest and an AMAZING weekend...wouldn't you say? There's nothing like a little RPatz overdosing pic spam :)

HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?

Mine was great!

Hubs and I got a new (used) car that is super nice and we really needed....and we also picked out some NEW kitchen appliances that will hopefully be delivered by Thur or Fri.  I can't wait!  My dishwasher is a piece of crap, I can't wait for CLEAN dishes that I don't have to re-wash!!

IT'S PRESIDENT'S DAY!!

(here in the US)

actually, it's not... the holiday is technically called WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.... but why leave the other 45 President's out, eh?

This means my kidlets are home and are going to drive me nuts.  Right now, one is asleep still, while the other two are quietly watching tv :)

DO YOU HAVE TO WORK TODAY?

A Few Random Facts:

CHECK THIS OUT...

Kristen Stewart talks a bit about Eclipse.  Some of you don't like her, I personally love her.  Here, she stumbles over her words (as usual) but I find that endearing.  It's like she thinks faster than she talks...

Blame @AngryBadgerGirl for this one but she inspires me to do crazy things.

See how an "innocent' conversation about Rochambeau'ing leads to this.

For future R-P-S  (Rob-Pattz-Sex) emergencies keep this handy reference card in your lady purse!

Now lets play...ballz?
