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?

Hey everyone! So I recently joined Twitter and I just wanted to know which celebs from the Twiverse you guys are following. I have a few, but I feel like I am missing some peeps.

I know there's David Slade, Charlie Bewley, Jamie Bower, Tinsel Korey, Alex Meraz, and Chaske Spencer. I can't think of the rest. So, please share!

Also, aside from the Twiverse, who else are you following? I also follow one of the co-creators of LOST Damon Lindelof. And Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev (of Vampire Diaries). So share some cool celebs with me!

Oh, and if I don't alread have you as a friend/follower/what ever, then add me (or I'll add you, I'm still confused by this thing)

My Twitter

Oh, and Rob says HAI:

So well... Real life is sucky at the moment,

I'm snowed in. (Well... I say I am not  fit enough to go wading through the artic tundra right now.) Plus all the busses are off, so no visiting book shops and Starbucks (sob)

Also. All the christmas glitter and joy has gone. :(

Now that I have buttered you up with pictures of mah baby lolcats, I ask this one favour. I am in some seeeerious need of a new fic to read. Since RL sucks AND blows atm, I want some awesome vampire goodness, I heart me some sci-fi pleeeease. If you have an awesome fic with magic Bella and werewolf sixpacks, I'll take it! If you rec me some AU gems I will be your slave for ever.

Rangers: Please feel free to delete this campfire if it breaks the rules and sounds too needy. Fanks.

I want this movie to be here....NOW!

Hello Rangers and Woodland creatures!

So I was thinking that we were having all these posts looking for actors to play the parts of our favorite vampires, wolfs and humans, it would be interesting to know what if the current actors were unfortunate enough to be forced to leave the goldmine of a franchise also known as Twilight. What if they were all fired, and you could keep only one member of the present cast? We will remove Rob from the competition, because its just not fair to have RPattz running up with all those mere mortals. That and Summit would sooner find a way to reanimate his corpse than let him go, obvi. So who will survive?

The gruff Chief?                                                   Wig ridden Jackson?                             The Jock?    

The pixie?                                                                    The human?                                   The bitch?

My choice would be Michael Sheen. Not because the others are bad, but because he was so brilliant, dominated the movie for those five minutes, maybe even stole the show, and made us remember that vampires are actually supposed to be scary.

Choose wisely for there can be only one!

 Don't worry, see he's safe and happy about it!

i wake up to the best gifts sometimes.  :`)

tell me what's made your day or discuss tonight's episode of bones in which you can twitter with the cast, live- whilst i go edit the next chapter of dear isabella.

What a tough life for Up in the Air Golden-Globe nominee Anna Kendrick – jetting between film sets with a two-time PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive winner and with one of the world's favorite vampires.

Shedding light on shooting Up in the Air with George Clooney and Twilight with Robert Pattinson, Kendrick, 24, tells Ellen DeGeneres on the TV's host's Jan. 8 show, "George gave me such a hard time about shooting Twilight. Whenever I came back, it was like, 'Oh sorry, this isn't the Twilight set. You're not working with Mr. Handsome.' He called Rob 'Mr. Handsome.' "

But Kendrick admits she helped egg on the pseudo-competition, bringing back a GQ magazine that she had Pattinson sign, "To George, Best of Luck. Hang in there. Love Rob."

Clooney's response? He signed his Esquire magazine, "Dear Rob, Thanks for all the inspiration. I'm a huge fan. Love, George, two-time 'Sexiest Man Alive.' "
