EDIT : Thank you! <33 I did it. So much better. :)

Hey guys, I know this is like my second post, but I just wanted to steer your attention to this really great fic that I've been following for a really long time. It's called Unraveled Knot by twistedcoincedence. This really isn't like anything I've ever read. Its got this really unique and quirky Bella that speaks her mind, but is also damaged by her relationship with her mother. And the many relationships that her mother has had with men. Its got this PencilNeck Edward that is living this mundane lifestyle because its safe and doesn't require him to acknowledge his problems. Its got a Carlisle that is obsessed with home shopping and snuggies and an Emmett that you just want to kidnap!

I really love this fic because it really touched my heart, and I know that you guys will love it too. Its gonna make you feel emo, but the humor is gonna having you lulzing like crazy!

So I just want you to give it a chance. The author has been kinda down bc her co-author bounced on her, but she's been encouraged to continue. So show her some support!!!

Here is the link: UNRAVELED KNOT by TWISTEDCOINCEDENCE

And here is a little excerpt of the lulz:

“Esme! Did my snuggie come?”

“Dad, this is Bella,” Edward offers. I straighten myself and offer my hand, but am pulled into an embarrassingly hard chest. God lord is that muscle definition genetic? “Izzy,” I mumble lamely into Papa Cullen’s shirt.“I like you already. Did you want a snuggie? I got a two for one offer.” he asks. I feel my face screw up in confusion. Is that code for a hug?

And some Candy:

Well my fine campers I have finally caught up with everyone else it seems, I am finally reading Hydraulic Level 5.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4931075/1/Hydraulic_Level_5

This fic is frigging awesome.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS AND LEAVE LOVELY REVIEWS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL GONDOLIER

Ranger Edit: I bet you all already know this but you can read Hydraulic Level 5 RIGHT HERE at ADF in the storytelling area and leave thoughts with Gondolier in her VIP cabin. Go ahead. Make her day ;)

Ok, so second campfire of the day and I kinda feel like an attention whore.....

Anywayzzzz....

Where would I go to find someone who would want to colloborate with me on a fic? I've never written one before, so I kinda want someone there to help ease me off the first time around. And I feel like errbody has a BFF on here but me (I know I'm probably wrong, but *sniffle*).

So, directions?

Howdy Campers. I haven't slept more than 2 hours a night since Christmas. The reason why is inconsequential but to make matters worse, I just received news that will only contribute to my insomnia rendering me even MORE useless.

 I sincerely apologize for not putting up the pimp post this week and for not giving our VIP authors who posted here this week proper recognition from myself (Campers do just fine without me, though!)  I will make it up to you in spades and promise bigger, better posting in the future. YOU ALL deserve time in the spotlight because you are ALL so amazing;  authors, readers and the campers here for the candy alike.

This is what I would like from you if you could please indulge me:

Your best remedy for insomnia

Your ultimate dream

A FIC REC, specifically one that I could THINK ABOUT A LOT. One that would really get inside my head and make me want to live in that world for a while. I don't care if it's sad or funny or what, I just want something that will make me feel something other than what is keeping me up at night. Get it?

I will be eternally grateful for your help and promise to pay you back someday :)

On our way to dinner tonight to celebrate the kiddo's 2nd birthday:

Here is my birthday boy (I'm a proud mama...sue me :))

So anyways...on the way to dinner, we saw this car stopped in front of us at a red light.

So I ask the question...to what extremes would you go to show your love for Twilight? Is this person dedicated or is it too much? A friend told me it should be on a black Mercedes.

BTW: this was approved by Jandco

OMG first campfire....

So, authors/writers/geniuses/whatever you call yourself, I was curious about something...

When you are writing a multi-chaptered fic, how many chapters do you usually write before you start posting? Do you write a chapter and immediately post? Do you write a handful, and then post on a schedule, but stay ahead? Or do you write pretty much the whole thing before posting?

I ask because I'm slowly realizing that I need at least a few chapters' worth of buffer time... you know, just in case rl blows or in case my imagination gets stuck. This is esp true now that I'm managing more stories than I really should be.

Just curious about what the rest of you do... educate me!!!!  

And for your time and effort, Rob has agreed to give you hugs and kisses:

Sry if been posted before. I'm new, mmkay? 

THIS IS UNUSUAL REQUEST.

I AM ASKING FOR IMPRINT STORIES.

BELLA WITH ON OF THE PACK.

PREF SETH & JACOB.

BUT OTHERS WILL SUFFICE.

PLEASE?

I was thinking about how all the Bella's are written in fics and in Twilight and I've come to the conclusion that I'm am just a lazy pig.

Or at least thats what I feel like sometimes when I read a fic. Bella walks the dog, runs ten miles, scrubs the bathroom floor, dusts, grocery shops, changes the goddamn oil, all of this stuff before 11am on a saturday. At 11am on saturday Im not even woke. If I am, Its only cause Im debating on whether or not Im gonna get up and take a piss or wait for one of those niffty tubes they'll put in my body at the hospital after my bladder explodes.  She's like a friggin robot for cryin out loud. I've never read Edward doing tons of stuff before the crack of dawn, further proof that he is with the wrong woman.

I am I the only one who noticed this?

My best friend and I spent last night on facebook posting different pictures of Jackson on each other's walls.

Here are the favorites:

 My personal favorite.....(look at that tattoo, how freaking sexy is that?)

And then, I just had to post this, even though it has nothing to do with Jackson...

  Care to share any more funny vids or smexy Jackson pictures? I love Rob more, but I feel like I've seen them all....

so fox is often ahead of everyone else as far as social media outlets are concerned.

personally, i think this thing they're doing tonight is pretty effin' savvy.

a tweetpeat- a rerun of bones airs tonight, and they're having the cast tweet/twitter/'ev-the-fuck-verb along with you during the airing.

i think this is genius.

bones tweetpeat

so come play.  i plan on being pretty inappropriate.

Rob porn candy. I meant candy. Until recently, I never saved any pics of Rob, but now I'm starting up my collection. Spam me with pictures, please!  :) 

I ran this by WTVOC prior to posting.

Howdy Campers!

I need a quick favor! I have a reader, Itaranu18, who contacted me on December 6th. She told me I made her laugh until she vomited which got her Mother’s attention. She had the swine flu and fanfiction was keeping her company while she recovered. She said reading fanfiction, "has truly improved the quality of my life as of late."

I wrote her back that while I liked it that I was amusing her, perhaps she should hold back on the puking part, and told her my brother had the swine flu and said it was the most painful thing he’s ever experienced (and he is not a whiner). So then I didn’t hear from her for a few weeks. I received this on January 2nd:

I'm doing much better (sorry for not reviewing and getting back to you) and thanks for your concern. Your brother was right. H1N1 is worse than pneumonia pain wise. It's so painful in fact that it masked the pain of my appendix rupturing and the subsequent pain of the bacteria from my appendix eating holes in my small intestine. Two surgeries and your wonderful story has me feeling right as rain. And the morphine clicker the doctor gave me is just the icing on the cake. Please keep writing. (Sorry for typing so much about myself lol)

She wrote me today. She is still in the hospital. How much does it SUCK to get sick and be in the hospital with not one, but two surgeries over the holidays? I told her about ADF and what a nice place it is. 

I wanted to post a campfire here to wish her well and hoped you all could do the same and give her story rec’s or cool pictures while she is recovering. She told me today she will be coming over online to check out ADF and I thought we could welcome her. She needs a lot to read.

So welcome Itaranu18! Feel better soon!

I’m recc’ing Dear Isabella by WTVOC and Jandco which is posted on this site.

Best,

Books

 Okay, well I just finished a one-shot. My first attempt at slash. Well, femslash.

It's not too bad, I guess.

I feel elated though. <333 I've been writing that thing for days. 5k. I'm pretty proud of it to. (The link has poofed away. :))

So, what do you do when you finish writing a one-shot or chapter?

Spam twitter with links? Hide away? Spam people on Skype? (Maybe that one is just me.:) 

Anyways, pictures are away nice. Here ya go :

Sorry, this boy owns me. <333

I read this fic last night about a less that physically perfect  teenage Bella.

Not maimed or anything - she just wasn't physically on the better end of the attractive scale, for High School anyway. 

And see all the stories I've read, whether he's in denial or just a bastard or incredibly shy or whatever, Edward always feels an immediate physical connection to Bella and of course the way she looks.  She might find herself average but Edward never does. 

Yeah it wasn't like that in this story.  As a matter of fact he tormented her pretty much her entire life. 

Of course she still loved him and had a crush on him from afar.

In the end that did end up together and while I was sort of cheering for it and some moments were very sweet...It just felt...false.  

So here's what I want...something that feels a little more fleshed out than this....

Recc me some stories in which Bella has to strive to overcome physical barriers to win Edward over. Barriers like weight and pimples and Edward's apparent need for physical perfection.  

Are there other such stories?

Rob's wondering too...

Or we can dish about the FF I just read...

Or other stories you've read in which the ending just kinda rang...Huh? to you.  The ending didn't quite seal the connection. 

Let me hear it people. : )  

Campers, our darling Jennyfly is horribly ill.  She has a fever and there is a blister in her throat due to some nasty infection (she claims it's not THAT kind of infection)

Please, rally together to wish her well...

or just start claiming her stuff.

I've dibs on Sanctuary.

Everything else is up for grabs.

This is my get well offering.

What's yours?
