Abandoned Fics

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 4:45 PM

I have just been thinking of this and thought I would start a campfire to see if anyone else is of the same thinking.

Abandoned Fics. 

We have all I am sure read fics that have just stopped after a few/alot of chapters and never get updated.

What I am wondering if some of the authors that visit this site have abandoned their fics for some reason and have no interest in finishing them, give them to the Forest for other authors to pick up and run with or if we have friends of the authors of the stories we can direct them here to do it as well.

Simply make a campfire and enquire "anyone want to finish my fic?" or along those lines.

I am starting this as I just read 2 chapters of a story by one of the campers here, not realising it was done a while ago and not going anyhwere, but I really enjoyed the premise of what the story could be.

Please let me know if I am out of line, or have no idea what I am talking about seeing I am a reader and have never written a fic in my life. (I don't count the BCR one! when I was 13). 

 edit:  this was okayed by the lovely Emibella

Requirements

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 3:28 PM

 In an earlier thread Fantasy Mother mentioned 'requirements' in regards to the fics she reads which got me curious.  What are YOUR requirements?  What gets you to read a story or not read a story?  Particularly I'm looking for things outside of content meaning for example what in a summary will get you to try and read a fic or vice versa what in a summary will turn you off.

I'll put my answers in a comment because I'm lame and can't figure out how to do a cut.  Does this thing let you use HTML?

Snow/Rain Update

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 2:40 PM

HOW MUCH SNOW/Rain(for the SoCal kids) DOES EVERYONE HAVE?  We only have like 6 inches, but it is still coming down and will through the night...south central PA got SLAMMED AGAIN!  Anyone hail from that neck o' the woods?

 

(hoping this doesn't get canned, as its pertinent to most campers and is interactive?)

Selecting the right narrative mode...

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 12:14 PM

Hello fellow campers....

I'm tinkering around with a new fic idea, putting together an outline, etc. I'm currently debating on how I want to tell the story.

I'm debating on 1st person, but I also like 3rd limited. I've done both styles in various forms and am comfortable with either one. Part of me is considering a 3rd omniscient, but I'm a little apprehensive of going that route. 

I'm curious what your thoughts are on the pros and cons to various modes as well as selecting the right POV(s). What types of stories lend themselves to what modes? What is more interesting to read? Why?

For fun, here is The Pretty looking all confused and 'Huh?'

Socks.

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 10:46 AM

I was just reading a fic, and it got me thinking: when there are lemon and the taking off of clothes is described, why do they never take off their socks? Possibly Bella's not wearing sneakers, but when would a guy ever not be wearing socks? They talk about taking off pants, shirts, jackets, ties, dresses, etc... but often you're left wondering... are they bumpin' nasties while wearing socks?

Does anyone know CPR?

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 10:42 AM

because the Robsten shippers are going to go into cardiac arrest over this one. Me? I am just laughing. Want to join me?

ROBERT Pattinson will be furious after learning Orlando Bloom has been flirting with his girlfriend, Kristen Stewart!

The Pirates of The Caribbean star — who has been in a relationship with Aussie model Miranda Kerr for the past few years — allegedly made moves on Stewart, 19, at the recent Sundance Film Festival.

“The night before the premiere of Kristen’s latest movie, The Runaways, she was celebrating with friends at the House of Hype bar in Park City, Utah, when Orlando came up to congratulate her,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

The pair then moved to a private table — where, the source says, they were very touchy-feely.

“Orlando grabbed her hand and she was touching his chest,” blabbed the source. “Things were intense.

“They hooked up that night at a condo Kristen rented. She said it was wild and she’d love to do it again.”

Take that Target!

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 10:25 AM

 

Ultimate fans of Twilight have a reason to howl with excitement: a sneak peek at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Walmart announced today it will be the only retailer to carry The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition on standard DVD, and Blu-ray, with never-before-seen footage from the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Walmart also will feature “Twilight Saga Shops” in stores – a dedicated shopping experience for Twilight fans to bite into a variety of Twilight -themed clothing, jewelry, and merchandise, including new items to show their wolf- or vampire-fan pride.

Fans can pre-order The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition on DVD or Blu-ray, as well as the national two-disc Special Edition DVD or Special Edition Blu-ray today at
Walmart.com. With the new movie and 50 minutes of extra footage and interviews, The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition also contains an exclusive, 7-minute sneak peek of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. It begins with an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the production of the newest film. New interviews with stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, as well as with series-creator Stephenie Meyer, are integrated with revealing on-the-set footage of some of the key scenes and sets from the upcoming movie. This first-look at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse concludes with the world premiere of an actual scene from the upcoming film.

With the movie release scheduled for March 20, 12:01 am, fans can be among the first to own the DVD, joining friends nationwide at midnight release events in more than 2,600 24-hour Walmart stores. The midnight release last year of the first Twilight movie brought hundreds of thousands of fans together online and in stores, becoming the most pre-ordered movie and most successful DVD movie release event in Walmart history.

do over

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 9:46 AM

here's my beef with the vamps:  if you have the opportunity to repeat high school/your career over and over and over and over again, OF COURSE you are going to be good at it.  If i could repeat high school twenty times, i'm sure i'd be the effing prom queen by the end (i was very anti school spirit at the time...).

My question for you is - if you got a do-over, what would you change?  or if you've had one already, what was it?

I studied to be an architect for a number of years before i belatedly realized i was terrible at it and hated it.  Now i'm working at a brewery and in the process of saving money to go to art school.

question???

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 7:43 AM

ok...... i have never done this so i hope im doing this right and i hope its not already been discussed.......

I know everyone is probably tried of hearing bout FF.net, so i apologize, but i have a question....i have always used FF.net to find and read fics because thats just what i know...(i found this lovely site from a link on FF.net and LOVE it).

So my question is....besides Twilighted, ADF,livejournal and FF.net what are some other sites that have Twilight FF thats pretty user friendly??

Thank you everyone!!!!!!

Such a sad day...

Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 2:15 AM

Hiya! So this is my first campfire.....I'm kinda nervous!

I just wanted to put it out there that Emancipation Proclamation has been taken off fanfic! So sad! I nearly cried! Luckily the author has a blog to continue on!

So, to make this more interactive, what fic disappearing would affect you most?

Need to Know

Tuesday February 9, 2010 at 11:08 PM

(First campfire, squeel)

With FF.net pulling a buttload of fics, I've heard some people are just pulling their stuff all together and going to a new site to post their stuff. What about you? Are you sticking with ff.net or are you going to jump over to Twilighted...or the Writer's Coffee Shop, or Blogger, or any other place?

And if so, why are you choosing to go there to post your work?

Will it be one film or two? 

When is it going to start filming?

Any targeted release dates?

I can't keep up with the latest. 

TIA, wandb

Alright People, Enlighten Me!

Tuesday February 9, 2010 at 9:03 PM

 Sorry for beating a dead horse but since it's come up SO much lately I'm dying to know.  It seems like quite a lot of the campers have a strong dislike for fanfiction that contains sex/smut/porn/erotica and I am honestly surprised.

So what I want to know is why.  Why do you dislike it so much?  What about it specifically bothers you?  Are you convinced that any fic with sex just simply couldn't possibly be good?  Does this dislike of sex (whether it's PWP or porn with plot) extend beyond fiction into the 'real' world?  Do you also harbor a dislike for sex in the regular fiction you read?  Or in movies?

And conversely if you like fics with sex, why?  Besides the obvious unf factor what draws you to it whether as a writer or a reader?

Inquiring minds want to know.

yesternight

Tuesday February 9, 2010 at 8:51 PM

Since I've been Pastichey's cheerleader all day today, I'll keep going.

Pastiche Pen, one of the VIP authors, started a slash fic. A vamp slash fic. An Edward/Jasper vamp slash fic called Yesternight.

Are you excited?? 

You should be.

It's in storytelling, and this first chapter is fantastic, so go read.
