Mmmkay. So, I didn't know if this has been done before, but I thought it would be fun and therefore decided to do a campfire post for it. I was listening to music yesterday and had a bunch of songs where I went, 'oh my gosh! This song would have been perfect for the nm soundtrack!' So... i wanted to do a post dedicated to it. What song/songs would you have picked for new moon? For which scenes? Me? I've got a couple!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmREF37eh-4f Breath by Breaking Benjamine for sure. During Bella's depression time after Edward leaves her.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDmnG9uTEfk Breathe in, Breathe out by Mat Kearney for the renunion in the bedroom.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RRbMpowe1g Greener with the Scenery by The Used for the plane ride back from Volterra.

Show me some of your picks?

I'm surprised that this hasn't already been posted here (or maybe I missed it), but Ms. Kathy is hosting a fundraiser for Haiti Relief.  All you need to do is donate a minimum of $5 to the charity of your choice and send her the reciept.  In return, you will recieve a copy of a series of one-shots from a whole slew of authors.  She's already raised more than $5,000!

Are you bored?

Looking to play a game?

Well, look no further.  It's time to play...Fic.  Prompt.  Post!

It's simple.  Simply post a picture or a group of words and a lovely camper will come along write a little short ditty (can be longer than a drabble, just not War & Peace, k) using your prompt.

I'll go first:  a formica table, bottle of coke, birthday cake

And for some inspiration:

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW EXCITE THIS MAKES ME?

 I'm a very quiet camper, I like to pop in and see what's going on a few times a week, catch up on the chatter in the Cabins and Read what new fics the beloved VIP's have given us..

BUT

my favorite thing of them all, is reading through the Campfire posts and the comments that come under them.  The Banned Post has given me the BIGGEST case of the giggles and I'm actually still wiping the tears from my laughter!

So what's your favorite part of ADF?  

For me.. these.. gifs and silly youtube vids are UTTER WIN! - 

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE READ THIS RIDICULOUSLY WONDERFUL SERIES???

The rights to the first film have been bought by Lionsgate, but casting has yet to begin. 

So, if you've read these books, come play with us. Cast the film with your dream actors/actresses. 

My dream Katniss looks kinda like this:

But forget the boys... they are just too specific in my mind. But they had better be GOOD. Damn good. 

this post approved by me and the other campers/Rangers discussing this series in the love post. 

 Ranger Edit: Like me. I approve. But only if your Gale is SMOKING HOT. Others need not apply. Love, E.

miss me?

drama brings me out of my study-induced haze.

lettuce move on with our lives and discuss our favorite distractions.

like really great fanfiction.

crazy damned gifs:

and the gorgeous people who make me marvelous macros/david boreanaz (obvs):

Always looking for new and exciting ways to spice things up for our Campers, A Different Forest held a contest across high school journalism departments to find up-and-coming writers to feature on the site.  The winner is Jessica Stanley, from Forks High Herald in Forks, Washington.  ADF will be syndicating her weekly interviews with notable folks from her hometown.  (We are sure you’ll recognize many of their names, as well as appreciate an inside look into their stories.)  
 
We hope all you Campers enjoy them. The feature begins soon, so to get you ready, here’s a little more about Miss Stanley in her own words:

Hi.  I’m Jessica, a senior here at Forks High.  I like hanging out with my friends, talking on the phone, tweeting, texting, and shopping.  One day, when school was cancelled for an ice storm, I spent the day on my couch watching daytime television.  My life changed when I watched Oprah Winfrey interviewing Chace Crawford.  I remember thinking like “oh my God.  I could totally do that.”  Because, let’s face it.  Oprah makes more money than anyone could ever count.  Plus- it would be like my ‘in’ to meeting and interviewing like really cute, famous guys.  And girls too.  Whatever. 

So I looked into the whole journalism thing, and here I am, writing an article for the Forks High Herald.  You gotta start somewhere, right?  I’ll be spending time interviewing interesting characters who got their start right here, in this area.  They might not be famous… but who knows?  Hopefully this practice will help ME to be famous, someday! 

Helen_ice will no longer be with us here in the forest. And we have your IP address-so don't try to come in again.

How do you get a gazillion young people to help earthquake-devastated Haiti?

Have Robert Pattinson talk to them.

As you may have already heard, George Clooney is heading up a telethon on Jan. 22 to raise disaster relief funds for the Caribbean nation.

Pattinson, I'm told, is on the top of everyone's list to take part in what will likely be an A-list effort…

Organizers, a source reveals, are aiming high and will be asking for Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to take part.

It's too early to say what—if anything—the world's most famous vampire movie stars will do, but a source close to Stewart tells me, "She'd jump at the chance to do something to help."

That something may have to be pretaped. Stewart is scheduled to be traveling to the Sundance Film Festival at the time of the telethon to promote Welcome to the Rileys and The Runaways.

Clooney first told my old pal Roger Friedman at the Hollywood Reporter that the telethon would take place on MTV. But as of this afternoon, I'm happy to report ABC, NBC, HBO and CNN have agreed to air it, too.

I am not supposed to be back on here again.

In light of the last campfire on procrastination, I began to do my dishes. I had to use a little music to motivate myself. Which got me to thinking:

Which author has been responsible for introducing you to a band that is now a solid favorite/can'tlivewithout?

For me it was Oxymoronic8, who introduced me to The Appleseed Cast in Innocent, Vigilant, Ordinary. They get the dishes done, baby...emotionally.

Thank you Oxymoronic8! (BTW, you made me fall in love with The National too.)

I hope my Youtube thingy worked. I'm not technologically advanced in any way.

Yeah, so I'm a techno tard...I've been a silent camper here for quite a while now and I've fianlly sat at a few campfires...

I'm a naked square, I tried uploading of of my regular avi's like the one I use for FFn...but it just wont work.

So, anyone care to help a naked square?

Le sigh....

What are you putting off?

I've been sitting in Starbucks all day enjoying the interwebz, since there is still no 21st century technology at my dad's new house. Since I'm only online every 2 or 3 days, I have a HUGE to-do list that needs to be addressed anytime I get web access.

So far today I've been working on a certain story whose title begins with the letter S, and I've been ignoring absolutely everything else like paying bills, answering e-mails, and taking care of general business.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW & WHAT SHOULD YOU BE DOING INSTEAD?

to make it easier for you to answer, you can use this handy format:

i'm jennyfuckingfly

i should be fixing camper log-in issues for ADF

instead i am writing Sanctuary.

here is eye candy:

i'm __________________

i should be _________________

but instead i am ____________________

Okay, so I'm already SO done with winter and need something to get me out of my cold weather funk. You with me here? Well, the HLF in me decided what better way than to endulge in some shirtless men... And, why not the Cullen Clan? Here are my faves....

Care to share your favorites of the boys??

*Note* HLF refers to the endearing nickname "Horny Little Freak" given to me by bratty_vamp.

Ok, I found this doing my round on fanfiction.net for new fics to read

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5665275/1/Pedophile

GROSS GROSS GROSS

Pedophile: Edward is 36 years old and a pedophile. Bella is 10 years old and innocent. Edward and Bella do the dirty deed. OOC RATED M Not suitable for minors WARNING Perverted AU AH

EWWW EWWWW YUCK! GROSS

I thought she was kidding at first so I skimmed through the first chapter. I nearly threw up!

FOUL! HORROR! SICK! EWWW! BLEURGH!

I'm not shocked easily, but this is going way way too far! Pedophilia is a real thing that is happening out there. An horrible disgusting and unforgivable thing. There should NOT be any sort of encouragement or praise for that kind of thing.

VOMIT HORROR DISGUST !!!!!!!

I've reported it. Please do too.

ETA JENNY SMASH

THIS IS HORRIFYING!

also eta: let's keep it clean, folks.  ADF does not tolerate any sort of personal attack, be it against the campers themselves, or writers of questionable fanfictions.  this is obviously a hot topic, so discuss away.  but keep it clean, yo.

questions about our rules/policies?

forest rules

or you can always private message one of the rangers.

carry on.

Well... I'm without words. Anyone care to comment?

I need some rec's for some seriously good 'pick-me-up' stories without ANY heartfail. I dont care the pairing or length just as long as they're completed stories...

This is my first campfire on here and I am doing it mainly because I am going through real life heartfail right now - My husband asked me for a divorce this week after being together for 8 years. Complete heartfail and I need something to make me smile whether it be a damn good story or some smutty pics of our favorite Cullen men. Please!

Oh, and for those who read my story Engine 17 on ff.net.....yeah, I apologize...it might be a while for an update....
