K, so my hubs has always been fairly indifferent to my Twilight, FF, and Rob obsessions. He pokes fun a little, rolls his eyes, etc etc.  He thinks the reading is "a little overboard" and the writing is "weird."

So, imagine my surprise and delight when he came home from the grocery store this morning (yes, we have one of those awesome "non-traditional" marriages) and gave me this!!!!

I was rather shocked and tickled, especially since this is the only item of Twilight paraphernalia I own.

I think he's trying to get laid... good choice, A+, hubs. 

And YES, the candies FREAKING SPARKLE.

So, tell me/show me what lovely things your friends/sign. others have done to "support" your obsessions, Twilight and otherwise :)

Apparently, guys can appreciate Twilight! At least, fictionnal ones!

Tony Dinozzo is team Edward! ^^

I love to see these Twilight references all over TV shows!

To make this post interractive, you can post some of your favorite Twilight references in TV shows or movies or in anything really!

I have just had a wonderful reply to my review of the latest chapter of

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4978545/1/Falling_Beyond_Redemption by Aleeab4u saying that she has joined as a camper of the forest but has not really contributed yet.

Lets all get behind her and welcome her to this wonderful site by putting her story on your favs and hopefully she will get on and just join in.

Aleea's story is a vamp/canon set after Eclipse it is a great story I have been following and she is such a great writer.

Ok so I got a little crazy after reading the Twilight series and found out that some people in the area had gotten to be Extra's on the movie set when it was filmed here in Portland.  I found out the company they went through and thought "what the heck".  So for my 47th 29th birthday I signed up to be an Extra whenever they needed one.  Well I got CALLED to come in tomorrow to audition!  OMG!  I'm thoroughly freakin'....

So here's a couple questions, (yes these have been asked b4, but not b4 the newbies)...

What crazy fool thing did you do after reading the Twi series? 

How many of you had any idea that you were closet writers? and how did you feel when people started noticing you?

And would you purty pleez have any nerve calming antidotes?  

And let me tell y'all how thankful I am that I get to frolic with such a crazy fun group of campers.

This means absolutely nothing for her because I don't tweet...ever(though I think my first might be about this), but it sure means something to me. Seriously, I'm only on twitter for Twilight related things and the occasional band or two. My only other follower is TK2 from Clipped Wings and Inked Armor(go read).

I know, I'm such a loser, but I for real wanted to freak out when I got the email about it. Unfortunately, I was at work so that would have been a little awkward. I was, however, smiling like an idiot and my coworkers probably thought I was crazy for a few minutes, which, I probably was.

Seriously janco, I'm such a fangirl for you. 

So now my question for everyone, but especially readers is...
Have you ever had a fangirl moment with your favorite ff author? Who is she/he? How did it come about? And anything else you'd like to add.

Here's a musical present for witnessing my crazy.
 

You know, I was shitty this week.  I did not HAVE a shitty week (well I did, but the new transmission in my van will benefit my family in the long run) but I WAS SHITTY.  I'm sorry.  I have been pouting over in the fucking corner like a little bitch, missing it around here.  I feel like, for all my bitchiness, I fit here.  You may wish I didn't, and I am sorry for that, but I like it here.  I will try to not be so fucking selfish anymore.

So.  If I remember correctly, someone around here likes Celine?  or was that the GAZ?  Anyway, she is great.

You Rangers are doing a great job and I would like to say thank you.  I know the "weigh in" post was the other day, but I was especially nasty and this makes me feel better, so if you can sit through some love songs and pics, it would please this camper.

Post cheesy love songs here if you want everybody.

THIS IS NOT RANGER APPROVED. (and I can't post pics because I've already exceeded my bandwidth for the month-so I will post a Youtube vid with pics of BOTH vampires we love out of respect and defference for those that don't like Rob)

The other thing I was thinking was that maybe we could talk about the great charities in the Fandom.  Post links, articles(copies) of information and ways we can give back and make the Twiverse the BEST FANDOM EVAH!

 In one of my stories, Rosalie is a virginal attorney who works on the legal work for porn films. Sounds far fetch, but I know people who do this in real life. I always find it funny when people use porn titles in fics - not as actual fic titles but in fics especially the parody ones like Harry Pooter.

Also, most guys I know in college or were in college or adult are quite keen on the internet porn. Especially free internet porn. Not sure if that is always touched (no pun intended) upon in fics with guys of this particular age.

So, since it is a Saturday night and I am home with my hubs, who is ignoring me, tell me your porn name.

There are two ways to play that I know of

1) Middle Name and Street you grew up on or was born on

2) Middle Name and first pet.

I would be Lauren Trappers or Lauren Mitty. So talk to me about your porn name or the use of porn in fic. 

I've been emotionally stressed out lately, and it has given me moments of compulsion to write, and moments of jello-brain in which I can barely have a conversation with anyone else. So, I've been reading bits and bobs from the Eddies and Bellies list that I'd never been up-to-speed on, and I found a recurring trend in All-Human stories.

I have no idea who these characters are. They aren't Edward and Bella. They're called Edward and Bella, but they have cutthroat competitions over inconsequential conflict, or one of them is somewhat cruel, or they recite entire poems, songs, or movies to each other, or ...or something else. I can't keep up.

And these poems or songs or brands of tea they choose: Some of the references in stories nowadays (see how I date myself?) are things entirely outside my realm.

I'm completely out of touch, and the stories go over my head, and then I think to myself: Well, Hell. I've got plenty of tidbits in every story I've written that can come off as pretentious or outlandish or bizarre or ridiculously off-base. And then I iget paranoid about alienating people the way I feel alienated by these stories.

And so I've formulated a theory that is exactly why we find ourselves in the situation we're in now... as a "community" as a "fandom"... Whatever you choose to call this rag-tag intercontinental herd of DARING, INTELLIGENT WRITERS who've demonstrated exceptional bravery in exploring their passions by writing and then DISPLAYING their produce publicly for all to see and dissect... Whatever you name us, we have recently come to a crossroads where we snipe and pick as much as we support. Sometimes the scales balance too far in the negative, and I really do feel a cold twist below my chest when I see slights. But I acknowledge them.

Plenty of times I’ve heard that no other fandom has the flounce-pull-and-publish issue like the Twilight fandom does.

Do you think it's because twific isn't based at all on Twilight anymore? Do you think we’re TOO out of the realm of twilight and THAT’S where our issues are stemming from?

If we’d never so vastly veered from canon, would we be where we are now with all of the fuckery and flouncing and hissing?

I'm going to advocate vampire fluff from now on. Canon all the way.

tl;dr: have AH fics made us all into bloodsuckers?

smoke and mirrors:

Passion Fish is the new book that Omnific is presenting. 

Was this a Twilight FF?  If it was, can someone tell me what it was about?

TY in advance!

Hi. I'm sort of new...

Anyway, can anyone rec me any good multi-chap EdwardxJasper stories? I used to only read ExB and then suddenly out of nowhere, I started getting into slash. Not sure how it happened... Has this happened to anyone else? Do you think it's just boredom with standard ExB stories?

So yeah, recs please? I prefer slow-paced stories but I'm not picky. I'll read pretty much anything if it's interesting and once something catches my attention, it takes a lot before I give up on it completely.

Thanks :)

just updated.  GO NOW.

ETA:  And um, please come in and talk to me about it cause I've been stuck at home in bed for a week and I'm so bored I could cry. 

Okay, so I'm all down today because some of the sexy men from Twilight are in my town this weekend - yep Nashville, TN - and I can't be there. I didn't think I'd care about not being able to go, but turns out I do.

So, I'm asking everyone to recommend their favorite humorous fanfic. I'm not really picky about pairings as long as they make sense.

Please help a girl get out of her funk!!!

high school....the place that i'd wanted to get the hell out of, but almost missed it when i was in college....almost..

Just curious. Any male campers out there? Roll call time. Because I know many guys who like Twilight, and I know of at least one guy on ADF. Anyone care to let us know their gender?

If not, then anyone know of any male writers in the fandom? Because I think it'd be interesting to read how they write Edward.

Im In A Food Mood Today
And The Reason for that Good Mood Is The Icons!
The Campers On ADF Have Such Creative Icons!
They Make My Day.
So Let's Give Our Favourite Icon Some Love.
Who's Icon Just Makes You Smile Or Laugh Everytime You See It?
Mine's Definately
'Serendipitous'
&
'shouvley'

Does anyone know what happened to the real life fic that featured Rob and a teacher named Priscilla/Cilla that was on Twilighted? It's missing from my list of favorites, and I can't remember its title to look to see if it's on FF.

Okayyyy, so we have I think 5 people arguing on Twitter about it. XD

I just want to do a quick survey of our ADF people.

When you're writing a fic, what do you use?

COLOR or COLOUR?

To make it more twi-related, giggle at this picture. It still makes me giggle. XD

Oh, and are the trolls still here? Bella, Edward, Jasper, come play! XD

And, for Doodlecake, IT'S COLOR.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Check this out.

So this is really a three part post...

1.  Is anyone getting update emails for ff.net?  I saw that The Blessing and the Curse had been updated from a previous post, but I haven't received any emails for any stories in the last 48 hours at least.  Just wondering if fanfic is having fail time again, or if it's just me this time.  If so, maybe we could list which stories we know have updated recently as we did when ff.net failed last week...

2.  Does anyone know what happened with the story The Cygnet and the Strigoi by CapnSureYouAre ?  It hasn't been updated in for-ev-er.  The author seems to have disappeared from the fandom.  Maybe she just flounced - but I was just wondering if there was some other explanation.

3.  Yeah, so this is my virgin post.  I was a dedicated lurker until recently, but conversations with the rangers on the discuss ADF post have really made me want to get more involved.  So...hey!  This is me, particiapating and loving it!

So my self-esteem is at an all time low. It's not like I had much anyway, but it's just gone now. Like me and anything I do isn't good enough for anyone. It's to the point where someone I really like unfollowing me on Twitter two days ago sent me even further into a tailspin (meanwhile the people I wish would unfollow me just continue to torture me). Anyway, I've noticed a lot of people around these parts either having somewhat similar self-esteem issues - even though I know they are fully loved, I hope the responses they received showed them that - or people have been having a tough time lately and that makes me =( for them. 

So this is a Cheer Up, Buttercup post! Post things that cheer you up and make you smile. Pictures, videos, fics, anything. If you know any of the people to whom I'm referring, post things you know they like. However, DO NOT say anyone's name. I repeat, this is NOT a love post. Those are awesome and fun, but they also add to the problem for some people.

Here's what makes me smile:

This movie period, but also how it's almost always on when I want it to be.

This videos always make me giggle.

And, of course, pictures of this dude.
