Ok, so I just finished Dark Side of the Moon, by Blondie AKA Robin, and now I have two things to ask of you campers.

One, what is your favorite Twilight book written in a different POV

Two, what do you think of the concept in general. Do you enjoy seeing things from a different standpoint or do you think of it as defiling SM genius work.

And some eye candy for the campers

Fill in this sentence (it doesn't have to be about the picture-can be about anything)

When I think of ___________ I think____________

I will do it first.

When I think of this picture I think of how isolated Robert has become.

I was just over on facebook avoiding my studies, when I decided to pop by the Team Joe page.  Team Joe only has 64 fans.  WTF? WTF?  We all love Joe.  You know this.  I know this.  Let's at least kick it over 100, hmmm?

For Joe.

www.facebook.com/home.php

Now pop inside to comment on Joe's awesomeness. Or facebook. Or why you did or did not add. Or anything vaguely Joe related (GI Joe, Joe Jonas...)

EDIT:  since this post went up we've had 12 new members of Team Joe on facebook.  good work campers,  keep it coming!

Since it is still the free for all, I’m gonna take advantage and talk about my newest obsession…The Hunger Games trilogy. There was a post about this a little while ago, but I just jumped on the bandwagon and had to share my love. Plus there is no such thing as too much Hunger Games.

what are you happily and anxiously awaiting?

FAME: Robert Pattinson Comic Book

Robert Pattinson will be featured in an upcoming comic book by Bluewater Productions titled FAME: Robert Pattinson.

Millions know English actor Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, the vampire with a conscience in the films Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the fantasy/romance movies based on Stephenie Meyer’s famous book series. 

But there’s more to Pattinson than fake fangs, faraway looks and tousled hair. Pattinson is an accomplished musician, a former model and an actor who’s played both a wizard at Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School and the artist Salvador Dali.

Bluewater Productions in May will ship FAME: Robert Pattinson to comic book shops and retailers across the country. This 32-page comic will trace Pattinson’s career from his first performance in Tess of the D’Urbervilles at London’s Barnes Theatre to his star turn in the Twilight movies.

Writer Kim Sherman said that she is eager to introduce fans to the many sides of Pattinson.

“I love having the ability to introduce high-profile people to readers through an unexpected medium that is both written and visual,” Sherman said. “These biography comics are designed to illustrate interesting tidbits to fans about their favorite figureheads, and inspire them to learn more. I chose to conceptualize A-lister Robert Pattinson from a unique perspective, immersing the reader into the life of the talented actor beyond his most famous role.”

Count interior artist Nathaniel Ooten as one reader who’s gained a new appreciation for Pattinson’s career since reading Sherman’s script.

“Working on this book has opened an entirely new level of Rob Pattinson for me,” Ooten said. “Before starting, I was only aware of the ‘teenage vampire’ Pattinson. After reading the script, studying the subject and listening to his music, I not only became very interested in Pattinson’s future work, but also discovered a new appreciation for this ‘teenage vampire.’”

Bluewater president Darren G. Davis said that he expects Pattinson’s biography to be as popular among Twilight fans as was the comic biography of writer Meyer, which Bluewater published in November of 2009. That particular biography has sold out of several printings.

“Twilight fans want to know everything about the talented people who have brought them the story of Edward and Bella,” Davis said. “I’m pleased to be able to bring them Robert Pattinson’s story. It’s our hope that even the most devoted fans will discover a fact or two that takes them completely by surprise.”

I LOL'd at the picture:

ok...this is officially out of hand now. 

YES!  "The Blessing and the Curse" has been updated!

Gossip Cop has new details to the upcoming premiere of Remember Me starring Robert Pattinson, Emilie deRavin  and Pierce Brosnan.

There has been a lot of Internet speculation about the premiere of “Remember Me,” starring Robert Pattinson, Emilie  de Ravin, and Pierce Brosnan.

The film, which revolves around two people who fall in love as they cope with tragedy, was shot last summer in New York.

And that’s precisely where the premiere will be, Gossip Cop can confirm.

Gossip Cop is told that the stars will walk the red carpet in New York on March 1.

“Remember Me” opens nationwide on March 12.

Generally, premieres are closer to the film’s release date, but because Pattinson is working on “Bel Ami” in Europe and can’t go back and forth, “Remember Me” will have it’s big red carpet at the same time he’s doing its press junket in the Big Apple.

PAGING NEW YORK CAMPERS!!!!

There are many forms of dealbreakers.

This one is particularly sad. Sometimes, the story is lovely, the characterization amazing, blah blah. Then something happens to the romantic lead. Or he does something revealing. Suddenly, he aint sexy anymore. He's just  pathetic, or just too damaged to fantasize about.

Sometimes, it can be as simple as a line of dialogue.  The guy says something so icky, so baby-talking, that he is totally redone in my eyes. He was once romantic and awesome, and now he's infantile and ridiculous. And then I have to abandon ship.

So tell me if this happens to you. It'll be an awesome story, but Edward just does something that makes him completely un-sexy in your eyes

Ok, I needs help. Quick status. Just kidding...semi quick status. Only because I'm drizzunk in tha hizzao on soju&lime and my perception of time is exponentially compromised. Well.....I have a fic brewing in my current haze of euphoria and I've not a clue of the process of fanfiction writing. Clearly I'm a noob. I've never written a fic before and I'm sure I'm going to need a beta to assist me through the process of literal clashes and such. Now this is the part that gets me baffled. Is it the fic writing before the beta or the beta before the fic writing? I still need to work on the plot.

Guh, am I making any sense right now? If not, forgive me please with this delish Jawporn of Rob in Rome pic and my yummylicious wallpaper.

So I've been wondering for a while about this.
In a TON of hs fics I've read, it seems to be no big deal to our favorite kids(especially Edward) that everyone is so willing to screw everyone else.

I don't get it.

So it's got me thinkin...did I just have a super unusual high school experience?
Having lived on both sides of the country, I know that a lot of things are kind of gerographical. I've never understood it, but it's true. Teen pregnancy is VERY common with kids in the north east(or at least the PA/MD area). But it never seemed to happen a whole lot in AZ, where I went to high school.
I knew all of two girls who were pregnant through my years in a school of about 2,000, and most of the people I knew who were sexually active were in pretty serious relationships.
Maybe it has to do with the fact there's such a huge Mormon population. I don't know.

So, authors and readers alike, lettuce discuss.
I want to hear about your high school experiences.
Do you think some of this is exaggerated for the sake of the story, or is this really how it is?

Here's some pretty for your time


 

What is the most bizarre or hilarious CHILDRENS book title you have come across?

I'm Bella.

I enjoy reading, staring at my darling Edward and reading about Edward.

Here is my picture.

Now show me yours.

 Lettuce play a game.  Can you correctly match the quote to the fic?

H. OMG WILD CARD!!!

The Quotes:

1. When I left the bathroom, I walked back towards where I’d heard Edward’s voice earlier in the day. I reached the end of the hall where a door was closed. I could hear soft mumblings coming from the other side. Unsure whether I should knock or just enter, I waited a moment and then turned the doorknob silently before pushing it open just a crack.

As it turned out, opening the door had been highly unnecessary as the next words that came out of Edward’s mouth were shouts. “I don’t care what this entails! I want her gone! I won’t allow someone like her to come in here and destroy my family!”

2. She brought the marker to my cast and began to write.

“’When all else fails, love remains.”

It was one of her favorite quotes, I knew it well, but somehow now, the words had new meaning.

I felt…hope.                       

We stared at each other until Emmett scoffed.

“Well, now he just looks like a pussy.”

3. “Wow,” Bella finally muttered.

“Is that a good wow, or a bad wow?” I laughed a little and squinted one eye open. Bella was studiously looking at my penis. I looked down too.

“It’s…” Bella bit her lip and scrunched her face. “It’s actually kind of…”

Manly. Enormous. Intimidating. Yummy…. I waited for her to pick an adjective.

“It’s pretty,” Bella finally said.                                                 

“Pretty?” My eyebrows shot straight up. Bella smiled and giggled at my reaction while she nodded. “Did you just call my penis, pretty?”

4. He finished the piece and swiveled on the bench toward me. “I’m Edward Cullen,” he said, holding out his hand.

He really didn’t remember me, not even one whit. Not even a glimmer, a wrinkle in his brow, a ghostly feeling of déjà vu across his face.

I started to reach my hand to press it against his but stopped halfway. “I’m … I’m nobody,” I said, and I turned and ran out the church, leaving, I’m sure, a very puzzled Edward Cullen in my wake.

5. “I don’t know how to feel,” she whispered sadly. “I want to be angry and tell you to go to hell, but I can’t. I don’t want to be anywhere near you, but it hurts not to be. I can’t survive like this. I want to have a say, but I can’t. I want to hate you, but then I want to love you. I want to run away, but then I crave you…”

I wrapped my arms around her shoulders, my hand running up and down her spine. There had to be some way to let her know that I understood, that I was sorry, that I wanted to make it right. It was a fine line to walk, for I didn’t regret my actions, merely their outcome.       

6. “Good fall?” I asked innocently.

“Dork,” he shot back with my usual rejoinder. “You are wicked, wicked woman. It was bad enough that I had the staying power of a sixteen year old, but my god Bella, I will always let you be on top if that’s the way you are going to be.”

“I may be a dork, but I’m your dork, and you love me for it.”

Edward was quiet for a moment before pushing me back gently. His hands went to my face, one cupping my chin, the other pushing a bit of matted hair off my forehead.

“I do, Bella. I love you.” He leaned in to kiss me. “And I’m not just saying that to get you into bed.”

7. I stared at my bare feet, forcing myself to resist his gaze. I didn’t know what to say; I had nothing to say. I wanted to run. I wanted to stay. I wanted everything, and I wanted nothing. But if I looked up, if I saw his emerald eyes and bronze hair and crooked smile, I would want it all.

“Do you remember the first time I saw you in a towel?” Edward asked, his voice a shade lighter than it had been. I did remember, of course. I was remembering it now.

8. But a part of me, a struggling screaming fighting part of me knew this was all bullshit. This—this, right here—wasn’t about his mom. This was about him. This was about avoiding the subject and not dealing with the crap he more than welcomed in. This was about keeping his scary wretched façade up to keep people out. This was about punishing himself.

And I couldn’t help it—my fists closed with a rush of anger I wanted to forbid myself to feel. Because all I could think was—coward.

First one to correctly post the answers wins this:

(Psst, authors and ADF!  No infringement or stepping on toes is intended!  Fics were randomly selected from my ff.net favorites.  (As in, I closed my eyes and pointed.) )

(Also guise, are these easy or difficult?)

ETA: We have a smartass!  But don't worry, Kimvi has posted a new challenge in comments!!!

We have another smartass!  

Who wants to post the next one???  Don't be shy...

Okay, it's Friday, so I thought I'd share this random bit of silliness I came up with.

Some quarters of the fandom have had an epic debate about lemons and what they're good for. I decided that in this fandom there are different kinds of lemons, those that fall into the genre of literary fiction, and those that fall into the genre which would normally be published in the magazine below:

Just to note: I'm not talking about any fics in particular, I came up with the "article" titles by considering the extremes in the fandom. And I spent only a few minutes making that image while giggling hysterically, so I know how bad it is.

What do you think? What other "article" titles can you think of?

Well hi there, I think...I'm tjbaby aka TJ, Newbie to ADF (no shite) and I'm a total dork when it comes to learning new sites. I think I'm posting in the right place anyway. I got lost to Twilight, much to many a IRL friend's disgust, and well, you guys got me instead - lucky you huh? Sorry, I'm a tad snarky, sarcastic and oooh a smidge cynical, but I'm real nice and I don't ever mean to offend anyone!

I read a lot of FF. Never been so thankful in my life that I got a little obsessed about FF all those years ago. That knowledge literally saved my sanity after I finished the TS books... now I write a little fanfic here and there, a few one-shots (Walking the Dark Street, Taint, The Shoes, Meld the Great Divide) and one multi-chapter (After the Storm) that was supposed to only be 500 words that ended up being a hell of a lot more.

I paused reading FF when I started AtS back in Nov and have jst restarted reading and have literally inhaled my updates. Sooo... please please would people point me to some nice lengthy novel-ish length fics 40k+ words. I like all sorts and I read fast. But no thanks to Bella/Jacob?

Well, I've had a truly crap week that islooking to turn into a truly crap weekend (having said that, it's 3 am and just got in from the local club, so I've had a decent night at least) so I'm needing a few giggles.

Who is your favourite comedian?

My offering is this fine geordie fellow, Ross Noble. Seen him live 3 times, his shows are almost entirely improvised and he relies a lot on audience participation. I once got to be involved with one of his shows, whilst sat in the front row, and still get a happy feeling from it!

So, who makes you giggle like a giddy schoolgirl? Share share share!

Hi all, saw that a newbie did a getting to know you post and thought I should follow suit.  My name is Amy and I've been immersed in Twifandom since last summer.  I got into the Twilight series November of 2008 and couldn't read another book for months on end.  The series truly was/is my drug.  Then around June some friends pointed me to Twific and I was back to reading nothing but that.  Oh well, it makes me happy.

In August or thereabouts some people pushed me to write my own story and Sacrificial Lamb was born.  It's a canon fic that picks up with the Jacob kiss in Eclipse but Bella doesn't find some magical heretofore unheard of love then.  I'm getting close to wrapping that up and I'll be starting a new AH fic soon as well as continuing my Darkward Taste of Innocence.  I'm on ff.net under Nolebucgrl if anybody is interested.

I'm a Rob girl, totally ridiculously hot for a guy that's 12 years younger than me.  That's okay though, right?  I live in Florida, have 2 cats, like to read and write obviously, am crazy about TV shows like Lost and Glee and many others.  I look forward to getting to know you guys and hope to be around here a lot!
