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! :)

 This is my first campfire...so here it goes

I have enjoyed being on ADF and find it more accepting and relevant to the content I want to see than a lot of other fansites out there. 

I have been happy to find stories from some of my favorite authors here as well.

I wanted to know what others think about the many twilight sites out there?

What sites do you like and why? What could sites do to make them more user friendly? 

 Expectations and Other Moving Pieces has updated. WOW.

I'm sitting here @ work reading fanfics & surfing the forest instead of working.  I have a fic craving.  Please rec me some Rockstar-ward or Actor-ward.  Nothing corny please.  Nothing where Bella falls in love w/ Edward at first sight.

I've already read Tropic of Virgo and Maybe and am currently reading Rhapsody in B (so good btw) and When Fiction Becomes Reality (which needs an update BADLY).  I tried to read Help Wanted but lost interest because Bella became boring.

Any recs?

Bueller?

So, last night I reported the Literate Union's shitlist forum (if you don't know what I'm talking about, this is from last night's TaraSueMe Pulled STories campfire) , stating that it wasn't really in the ff.net spirit of letting all writers express themselves. This is what I just got sent from their cult-ish leader, Georgasaurus:

I would like to thank you for your report. It's nice to know we're getting to people like you, and that you believe your opinion is worth something. Pity what we're doing is not against the rules in any way at all. :)

George~

I DIDN'T KNOW THEY GOT COPIES OF THE REPORT!!!

So, this is basically a thread to discuss the Literate Union.

I, for one, think it's bullcrap, because on their front page, they have many spelling, punctuation, and grammar mistakes. The same is true for most of their members' pages.

 Some pics from Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene's upcoming movie Warrior.

 Lots of pics being released today. Do I smell a conspiracy????

 I saw this as an ad and I HAD to click it. What popped up on my screen next was too perfect for words :)

In this personalized vampire romance novel, our heroine meets a mysterious hero whose passion is stronger than his bite. Perfect for fans of the Twilight movie and books!    Standard paperback size (4.25" x 7")   ... Vampire Kisses begins with a chance meeting of our heroine and hero at a college library, but their encounter is short-lived as our main man suddenly vanishes... leaving our heroine lusting for more. Their next unexpected rendezvous occurs at a campus alumni party, and after some clever repartee the hook is set, but once again our hero mysteriously disappears. Not to be outdone, our heroine and her best friend decide to hunt for their mystery man.  Little do they know the tables have turned, and they are the ones hunted! Our hero is centuries old and doomed by a vampire's curse. Luckily, his intellect and compassion enable him to control his primal instincts. Nevertheless, he shies away from our heroine, fearing his vampire urges will harm the one he both admires...and desires.  After much intrigue, our couple's paths become entwined and it's not long before cupid's arrows find their mark and they fall in love. The plot thickens when our hero's unnatural habits give him away, and our boisterous beauty discovers that the man she loves has a bite that is definitely worse than his bark. They are forced apart; he by his worry of turning his beloved into one of his own, and she by the unsavory thought of becoming her love's next meal. But will love conquer all? Can our heroine live without her true love, or will our hero make her his mate for life and forever after? Vampire Kisses is full of intrigue and passion!Romantic Tip: For a little extra fun and excitement, include a set of vampire teeth along with this book.

So what do you think? There are personalization offers on the site (even suggesting the heroine / hero as KStew and RPattz if you can't come up with your own!) and you can even put your own photo on the back! Is anyone gonna dew it?? :^D

Long time camper...first time firestarter....here goes:

I'm reading a fic (which I refuse to name so I don't come across mean) which I really like right now, but I'm soooo tired of the damn ILY's every two minutes.  Other then that it's really good!  There seems to be tons of fics with this little problem.  Am I the only one annoyed by Edward and Bella professing their love in every other sentence to each other???  We get it, you love each other, move on!

Okay, Kids.  We've got a side by side.  What's your gut reaction??  Which do you prefer?  Which do you think does Rob more justice?

Hello, JettStew and DakotaCurrie.

Is there anyone but me who feels that everything just plain sucks right now? Why are you upset? If I'm the only one, then tell me something awesome so I can feel better. (LIKE THE NEW ECLIPSE STILLS OH MY FREAKIN GAWD!!!!)(Or tell me of some kickass fanfics!)

IT'S ABOUT TIME, SCUMMIT! NOW WHERE'S OUR TEASER TRAILER?!?!

What's up, Campers?? Happy Monday!! 

I WANNA SEE YOUR TATS AND PIERCINGS! 

I got my nose pierced this weekend. (Cue the quarter-life crisis!)

Please ignore the rough upkeep of myself.... it's normally not this bad. 

And here's two of my tattoos!

Clearly I am a butterfly fan.

NOW SHOW ME YOURS! 

So I'm trapped under over 2 feet of snow and feeling a little frisky. But it's hard as hell to get a little lovin now days. I'm not talkin

about sex...that's easy; I'm talkin about making out! You know, like you used to do when you were a teenager and you're parents

were gone and you didn't want to go all the way, but you wanted to get pretty damn close? A certain person in my house seems to

only have two speeds..1st base and home run. *SADNESS*

So I want to hear from all of you married people...or people in long term relationships...do you still make out with your S/O? Share

your best/funniest/sexiest make out story or just help a sista out with some tips. It's almost Valentines Day, so consider it my early

 gift...plus a bonus...

AND THIS WAS APPROVED BY WTVOC IN ALL HER AWESOMENESS!

SO.....

I need some recommendations A/H and E/B.

Now i know all human, edward bella fics are every where but seriously guys i can't find anything decent to read.

Part of this is my fault as due to my fan fiction obsession I've read all of the usual fics that everybody loves. But I need more!

So I was hoping to pick your brains for those fics that aren't that well known but after reading you can't believe that the review count isn't in the thousands, or newer ones which haven't made it on to my radar yet.

I'll love you forever if you can help, thanks guys : )

Hi,

I'm new around here and really thrilled I've found this place.

I just finished reading an excellent fanfic by nobloodnofoul called Shadowboxer it so inspired me I made a banner

Hope you like

LOOK AT THESE NEW PHOTOS! BRB....AM DYING.

Like what's the age range?  What's the cut off? 

More importantly: What makes something YA Lit vs. just Adult Lit?

SO and I had a heated debate over what our 10 yr old reads last night.

Like "up until you see my point"  heated debate.

To keep it Twilight: She's expressed interest in reading this series however SO saw the movie and feels like the way it plays out is unacceptable, ergo making the book unacceptable.  He felt like Edward's reasoning is just sort of "ok'd" and thinks she needs to be a bit older before she reads it.  I have to say I agree.  But more so because Bella's comatose state is also just glossed over and never addressed.  Another time, another campfire.  

Anyway without getting into the who's and whys and the gestapo tactics I feel like my SO wishes to institute (um, I might be a bit defensive still) how do you monitor what your kid is reading? 

If you're child less - did your parents monitor your reading materials?

TL;DR??

Just tell me you're on my side without knowing all the facts and that kicking SO in the shins is not going to help my case.  : )
