can we discuss the wonderfulosity, please?

then go share the love here

I need ya'lls help on this.

I have a very dear friend who has recently gotten into Twilight. e.g. when I dragged her to see NM for my bday.

She just watched Twilight for the first time and has some SERIOUS Edward love. As in drawing hearts on her paper with his name in it. Fo real. And we're in college.

I told her I would rec her a fanfic (actually I told her I would link her somewhere and didn't explain further than that). Last time I tried to get her to read FF was with HP, and she laughed at me and called me a loser.

So, I need a good first fic to give to her. Not smutty (keep it PG-13), with a have to love Edward. Well-written, not too long (maybe a OS?).

I've been here so long that I can't think of anything...isn't that sad?

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

Plus:

And one for me...

So... tonight is a super sort of sad night for me. I'm not one for sharing personal business on the internet... but sometimes you just gotta get shit out, ya know? So... my brother was in a severe car accident almost three years ago. He suffered major brain trauma and is supposed to be in a wheelchair the rest of his life. He has multiple things wrong with him... including grand mal seizures. And plenty of bad crap is always happening to him. Today he ripped out his gastric tube and ended up giving himself internal stomach lacerations. If that wasn't bad enough... his lung collapsed and his platelet level dropped so he's back on a respirator.

The point is... Hal's having one awful sad night in light of this info.

So... I could use a pick me up. I'm willing to take anything you throw at me. Funny gifs, youtube videos... ANYTHING. Just something to make me smile and bring me out of this sad funk.

If this post isn't allowed, please feel free to delete.

Thank you.

So there I was reading a fantastic one-shot rec'd on the Parkaward campfired called A little Crazy http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5343033/1/A_Little_Crazy and I loved it, but it got me thinking which is always a scary thing...

I instantly fell in love with this Edward like I have so many other FF Edward's and it got me thinking are there men out there like this?  These romantic, sweep you off your feet, confess their love, bring you to orgasm not once but multiple times with in the first 5 minutes of sex after knowing them for a week!  Not that I am looking for a man, I am a happily married woman and I love my husband dearly, but he's not Edward.  I was just curious if things like this happened to people in real life.     

Which brings me to my question have you ever experienced an "Edward Encounter" and had a mind blowing connection with someone who was interesting and wordly and swept you off your feet, someone you would consider an Edward??? 

SICKNESS HAS DEPRIVED ME OF ADF AND FF FOR A WEEK. WELL. IT SHALL RULE ME NO LONGER.

I AM ASKING BEGGING FOR REC'S. AND I WAS HOPING YOU BITCHES WOULD HELP ME OUT. IT MUST HAVE:

BELLARINA
ALL HUMAN
SMUTT

APART FROM THAT. I'M COOL WITH ANYTHING.

PLEASE.

Has there been a post about this yet? If there has, I donut care. Cause I'm posting again. The bidding opened last night at midnight.

It's for a good cause, guise.

Do it for my fragile ego.

No but really, do it because it's a good cause.

(The other is an outtake from A War of Cynics. But you can make the second one an outtake from A War of Cynics if you want. And yes, I realize most of you probably donut read my shizz, but I need to get some bidding going, otherwise I will cry.) Here's the links to my auctions:

First campfire! Wow, two cherries popped in two days: campfires AND Bones.

I was up in the attic the other day looking through my dad's old records from his 70s 'hippy' days and it got me thinking about Twilight, well specifically Edward (what doesn't)

We all know he has loads of CDs but what artists are in his century worth music collection? I think in the book he likes the 50s, despises the 60s and 70's and tolerates the 80's.

I'm thinking some Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, defo Beatles, I mean you can't have a good collection without the Beatles and I'm sure he loved Joy Division and Velvet Underground.

Whatcha think?

For all we know he could be seriously into Spandeu Ballet :D its very him. Not

So....

I don't know if this is allowed, but I'm going to take my chances. If it's not, then let's let the rangers tackle it down.

HOW DID YOU WIND UP HERE IN THE FOREST? OR IN FANFICTION?

Me, myself, I was randomly searching the web and came across a site... the name of which I cannot remember, that had fanfic on it. Now, eventually, the site closed down, and I was directed over to ff.net., which then linked me to THE WONDERFUL FOREST!

Now tell me, how did YOU get here?

ranger edit: this is the kind of post we like to see!  but dude, i mellowed the intensity of that blue font.  ye gods, some of us are old broads.  be kind to our rapidly degenerating rods and cones, por favor.  :D :D :D

edit: My apologies. :-)

Do you read fanfiction outside of this fandom? If so, what's the weirdest one you've ever read?

I just discovered the existence of M-rated solitaire FF... O.o

What i want to know is why....

why has this particular story captured our imagination like this...

i dont normally do this...get obsessed over a story like this..

i mean for pete's sakes...im like thirty something and a hardworking well employed single mom and im not even sure i have time for this...

and yet here i am every night reading these stories like they are my very lifeline that i am clinging onto...

is it because i am too old to believe in love anymore, yet too young to be able to let go of the fantasy of true love?

is it becuase edward represents some kind of imperfect yet utterly desireable male ideal i know i will never find in real life and ive given up on looking for anything close to that....so ive decided to immerse myself within his universe

twilight and twihards are a bit of a pop culture phenomenon...its like we've joined a cult of some sort....

and ive noticed we dont have a particular profile (other than female)

like some of us are maried with kids, older kids who also read twilight, some of us are totaly in love with hubbies and boyfriends...some of us are chromically  single , there are single moms out there....some of us are in our early teens and some of us are in our late thrities and beyond

but whyyyyy? philosophically, spiritually, practically....why?

is there a profile to the typical twi-hard?

tell me why YOU are here, help me to understand my obsession!!!

HELP!!!

naked pictures of rob needed

i want naked pictures of rob

r there naked pictures?

RANGER ETA:

know how i like to innundate this twilight world with my love for bones?

well, i thought i'd rec some bonesfics that i like.  not my own lol

brief note: a lot of bonesfics are of the "what happens when they finally admit their feelings for each other" oeuvre.

Pie omg the angst :`(

Sensate Focus pop your bonesfic cherry with this multichap

SSJL she's a peach of an author, and every one of her stories is amazing (and M-rated) (and omg woman, family man pleeeeeease)

Good Vibrations omg i've never laughed so hard while being turned on (and all of her other stories are seriously well-written)

Silent Surrender a fascinating collection of interrelated oneshots

I dare you omg i need this to update like whoa.

k, enough to get you started. and if you have a good'un, give it up.

DB/ooth for your time:

omg just waiting to get that extra-special "your bandwidth has exceeded, asshole" email any minute now

He is still looking good. I love him in "24"

How have your first celebrity loves held up? Do you still love them or are you embarrassed now?

Ok...just a quick one tonight.

I am so totally obsessed with this story, I have to share.  If you have not read Volition by Rochelle Allison, you MUST go read it now!

www.fanfiction.net/s/5115662/1/

There's no summary on ff.net, but it started out as a one shot for the Age of Edward contest and I fell in love with it then.  Edward and Bella live in Ireland during either the 60's or 70's (not sure on the timeframe and I'm not up to par on the dates for Irish history) during the time of the IRA/Provos.  LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! 

Be sure to read it and show Rochelle Allison some lurve!

My friend and I started reading Twi fan fics a few months before Eclipse was released.  We've been scratching our heads trying to remember the name of one of the main sites with Twi-FF at the time.  The site was in a blog type format (and we both believe the background was a green color) and one of the only tags we rating.  We don't remember being able to sort by author or even title, only date and rating.  I think the name was Evergreen or something like it but my friend doesn't think that is correct. 

Does anyone remember this?  Whatever happened to it?

I've run across a certain term used in the Twilight fandom -- specifically pertaining to Edward/Rob -- and I'm not sure what it means.

I've put it in the comments because I'm too embarrassed to have it hanging out on the front page, so to speak.  *blush*

I'm sure someone here can explain it to me....

Cut and paste this into your comment and give us your worst! ;)

Worst TV program-  Small Wonder

Worst movie-  Gigli

Worst book -  See image below!

Worst meal you ever had-  KFC-I found a bug in my mashed potatoes.

I don't like a lot of fics. I like some fics. This is one that I like. It's different. Charlie's not a reserved cop. Edward isn't an over-confident doctor. Mike is still a douche, but in an interesting way. I happen to think the characters, especially Bella, are really well developed. 

It just hit 500 reviews. I'd encourage you to check it out if you haven't already.
