From Twilight Lexicon:

You can help the victims of the Haitian earthquake and win a New Moon costume at the same time.  Eric Moro, the Editor in Chief of IGN Movies writes,

” I wanted to let you know that we are hosting a very special eBay auction – all proceeds from the auction are going to Habitat for Humanity to help those affected by the earthquake in Haiti. The reason why I’m writing is because we have a cool piece of costuming used in NEW MOON that’s being auctioned off. It’s one of the eye-popping red robes worn during the shooting of the San Marco’s Day Festival in Volterra, Italy.”

That is right, it is time once again to PIMP YOUR STUFF. Same rules apply as always, but since we seem to have so many NEW campers every day I thought I would take a moment to explain what the Pimp Your Stuff Campfire is for.

You see, campers, sometimes we feel the need to share with those gathered around the burning wood holding their sticks and roasting their weenies. And when we feel this need we may want to start a campfire of our own. But isn't it much nicer to join in to one big warm campfire of awesome?? Yes. I thought so.

So HERE, yes right HERE IN THIS CAMPFIRE you can:

• Tell us what you write and what it is about (be sure to link that baby up
• Share with us something that you read that made you go "WOW, NOW THAT IS A GREAT FANFICTION, SIR"
• Comment on the stories that others put up there to read
• Pimp your upcoming contests or challenges LIKE THE AWESOME EMMETT VALENTINES DAY FIC CHALLENGE SPONSERED BY YOURS TRULY AND THE LOVELIEST HMONSTER IN THE WORLD (MAIL YOUR FFN LINKS TO emibella@adifferentforest.com by Friday, February 12)
• Show us your art and tell us if you are taking on any new "business" and how to contact you
• Pimp your friends who you don't think are getting enough attention.

I mean, this is just the place to BE so GO FORTH AND PIMP

Emibella is under the influence of whatever cold medications she believes might cure her all consuming horrible illness. Please be aware that she is not responsible if this Pimp Post makes no sense. It's the meds, campers, the meds.

18 Days til Valentines Day....

16 Days to get your Happy Valentines Day Emmett entry in...

We've gotten 3 so far, and some fun peeps saying they are going to play...

Did you start yours yet?

Come on, load Ranger Emibella and I up!!

last night, the cast & crew of bones celebrated their 100th episode!  this is a major feat in the tv world.

and look.  a place to watch all episodes online!  how lovely!  now you get no excuse.

itt, discuss all things angelus booth, bones, sweets, hart hanson, et al.

alternately, tell me to shove my bonesian agenda where the sun no longer shines/in angel's bed.

So, I've read probably 87650289372 fics in the past few months or so.

As you all well know, many fics include Bella losing her virginity. Here's my beef(heh heh): in the majority of these scenes, Bella experiences little to no pain, or even if she hurts, she proceeds to have multiple orgasms at Edward's command.

See, this is not something I can read and relate to.

My experience consisted of having my head bonked repeatedly into the corner of a waterbed while I was plowed into by an unskilled teenage boy who had little awareness of any of his surroundings...other than what was surrounding his johnson. Not only did I not have multiple O's, but I waddled around for the whole night. That shit hurt. And ugh...that damn waterbed sloshing sound will haunt me for years.

Are there any ladies in the forest who have had the wonderful experience Bella seems to be having in Fic Land? Or was it just as "I cannot wait until this is over" as it was for me?

Just wondering. Talk to me, sex kittens.

Oh, and this down here is a little candy for WTDBOC, for her approval of this post. Guh. On a washing machine even.

Forks Documentary.... REALLY?

The definitive DVD documenting the town of Forks made famous by the Twilight books and movies. This is a fan's opportunity to see the town that Stephenie Meyer based her epic teen romance books on. Hear from the real people living their lives in the town fans know and love, including the Chief of Police, the Forks Outfitters' employee who gets mistaken for Bella, and the vampire transplant who plays the real-life role of Alice. Visit Forks High School, hear self-described Jacob's grandfather tell the legend of how the Quileutes descended from wolves, and see many more of the people and places that make Forks and La Push the perfect setting for The Twilight Saga.

Runtime: 84 minutes.
Pre-order @ Amazon.com.

With the approval of the Rangers, I've decided to create a weekly fan video post to add to our wonderful forest community!  Every Wednesday (hopefully) I will make a post for all of us to rec/pimp our favorite Twilight fan videos.  If you make videos, post your own!  We want to see your work and the work of others that you really love! 

Let's  those talented video makers in the fandom. 

Ok, so I've searched high and low, but I can't seem to find a really great Emmett/Rosalie fic. Anyone have any recommendations. As angsty/smutty/dramatic as possible. It can be realistic or not, doesn't really matter.

One of these days, I'm gonna end up writing one myself.

can someone rec me a fic where bella is mute and/or mentally retarded and edward tries to help her, then she regains her voice by the power of love, etc?? i was having a memories day and i remembered the first couple i ever loved was like that, so...  i need a fic now :3

What are you reading or  have been too lazy/busy to take off alerts?

Page 2 inside..

Now show me yours!!!

Haha, so a tweet from Twilight Awards leads me to this lovely story :

Bella's REAL True Love

I'll let you go read it, it's only three chapters.

Please.

Read it.

Then discuss here. :)

Twilight” fans rejoice: Fangy Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson may be descending on Ithaca this summer to film a big-screen book adaptation at Cornell University.

Rumors are rampant that a production team for Fox 2000’s Depression-era drama “Water for Elephants” will be on campus in June to film scenes for the movie, which centers on a Cornell veterinary student who drops out and joins the circus after his parents are killed.

Pattinson, the 24-year-old British actor who shot to fame portraying brooding vampire Edward Cullen in the blockbuster “Twilight” series, is said to have signed on to play the role of central character Jacob Jankowski.

Cornell University press officer Blaine Friedlander said he was unable to confirm whether the school would be used as a film location.

Bruce Stoff, marketing communications manager for the Ithaca/Tompkins Convention and Visitors Bureau, said it would be a big economic boon for the area if it was.

Stoff is not sure how much filming would take place nor how long it might last, but said his office gladly would work with the studio to help arrange permits and other logistics. His staff does have some experience working with film crews, although most have been of the TV variety, as few big box-office productions have occurred here.

What fics are you embarassed to admit you love?

WHAT IS YOUR DIRTY LIL' SECRET?

www.fanfiction.net/s/5383757/21/The_Naked_Guy_Upstairs  CLICK IT, you KNOW you wanna...

Go on.  DEW IT.  TO IT.  Mountain DEW IT.  Click it like a preteen boy clicks on the free pron site.

I used to be friends with this chick that writes this, but she flounced for some unknown reason and so well...whatevs.  I can still LOLZ at her writing and let her entertain me, RIGHT?

Urm, I heart this fic and I came up with this banner for greeen goldfish. I hope you like?

One of my best friends who never read fanfiction in her life before decided Twilight fanfiction was worth giving a shot. She asked me for a rec for a first read. I told her that she HAD to read Caracol's fanfictions: A Rite of Passage and The Way Back. Caracol's fanfictions were the first I read and they have a dear place in my heart.

What about you? If one your friends who never read Twilight fanfiction asked you to giver her a rec and you could only choose one fanfiction (or two, I'm being nice!^^), what would it be?

As I just said, I told her Caracol first and then I told her to read all of Jandco's. =)

You know how you storymark a story? Or like, 10 stories? And then they disappear? And it's really annoying? In my case, it means I forget most of what I've been reading and end up flouncing by default.

WELL, I think I figured out what makes them disappear.

I think it happens when you bookmark something you've already bookmarked. Same story, same chapter. They don't disappear when you bookmark a DIFFERENT chapter of the same story. But if you duplicate, you'll only have that one storymark you just duplicated.

I think this might be related to the fact that you don't even need to be signed in to storymark. Like, ff just knows your IP or something and is using that??? But when you duplicate, maybe it thinks you are somsone new at the same IP? (When really you are just stupid and storymaked the same shit twice?)

I have yet to solve the mystery of why you don't need to be signed in to storymark, or how my browser remembers them even though i am ALWAYS "private browsing" when I am on ff. It kind of creeps me out.

I donut know what to tag this as. I guess it is a PSA more than anything. Cause disappearing storymarks are annoying as fuck.

Now I'm just throwing in a little Hank Moody just because:

(Thanks patsy robinson. :) )

Reliable sources claim that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are planning to go public with their romance when Breaking Dawn filming starts.  The on-screen couple have driven fans crazy with endless speculation about their real life romance.  But UK media reports suggest the celeb couple are finally ready to confirm they are an item.

Robert and Kristen had a romantic weekend in the small town of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight over the New Year, only being spotted by a darling young fan.

Marie Claire in the UK reports:

Robert Pattinson is shopping for a UK home for the pair, as they look to escape the American spotlight.

‘Rob is a reluctant star,’ one insider said. ‘He just wants a quiet English life.’

This is starting to spread throughout the fandom. I don't believe it-thoughts?

Warner Brothers is expected to announce this week that it will release the two-part movie adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 3D. These will be the final two movies in the Potter franchise, with part 1 due out in November and part 2 expected in theaters in May 2011.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, official confirmation of the 3D Potter movies is expected by the end of the week.

The previous two Harry Potter movies have included scenes in 3D (about 20 minutes of Order of the Phoenix and 20 minutes of Half-Blood Prince) -- but if confirmed by Warner Brothers, this would be the first time an entire Harry Potter movie was released in 3D. The studio would have to factor in the added cost of converting the films to 3D and covering the costs of 3D glasses for distributors.

SQUEE! SQUEE! SQUEE!

What movie would you love to see made in 3-D?

I am going to see 100 Monkeys (Jackson Rathbone's band) play this friday at the Viper Room in Hollywood.  Has anyone else ever seen them?  I haven't even heard them but got talked in to going with some friends.

I'm still deep in the heart of Texas, where I had to drive 19 miles to the next town just to get teh interwebz.

It seems lots of people had the same idea. See? Downtown is bustling:

But damn, I'm wishin' is wuz Friday.

My behavior's not weird is it? You guys would be missing ADF like a severed limb as well, right?

Have you ever gone to great lengths for a technology fix?

(I can't tell you how relieved I was to get here today & see the ROB CANDY.)

Share with me your horror stories of tech-withdrawl.

Edit: Also what fic update would you go to extremes to get?
