Hey there my lovely camperoonies!

I'm in a fic reading slump :(

None of my alerts are updating.

SO, does anyone have a nice o/s rec they fancy hitting me with?

Any genre, any characters etc

Eternal gratitude up for grabs. Thanksalot!

Since the FFA is still on, I'm gonna share something with ya. Post a snapshot or something of your city conditions right now. Lemme see how bad awesome they are in the cold weather, or hot for the southern hemis ppl.

I'm in New Delhi right now, and it's fucking freezing! The fog is making everything look haunted, killing the visibility up to a few metres only. And the cold breeze never lets up. We don't have central heating systems here, so my home is chilled like a brick and my teeth are clattering. It's early morning and I can't sleep. (There is a joke around here in local parts, that the people from my city are the toughest in the country, because they go through all extreme types of weather- be it freezing cold winters or toasty hot summer time. Or monsoon rains.)

This is my city right now.

Now show me yours. It doesn't have to be a pic taken by you, but a somewhat latest pic anyone taken by anyone.

Fill in the blanks! THIS IS FANFIC GOLD I'M TELLING YOU.

I Have A Random Urge For Some Carlisle/Bella Fic.
One-Shots or Multi-Chaptered.
Are there any good ones out there?

Reason For My Sudden Urge VVV

Hello there! I'm Nielle, and I'm new here. I'm a huge fan of fan-fiction. I have a million different ideas for stories bouncing around in my head however, I'm scared to try to write one. I'm looking forward to reading your stories and chatting with you all. Happy New Year!

Hi there. I'm new here, and I thought I'd perhaps do a little introductory wave. I'm hankering for something new to feed my shameless addiction to fan fiction. (Feel free to ignore the weird rhyme.) So I have a question for y'all:  Are there any obscure stories (as in with a low review count) you've been loving lately? Example: quothme is amazing, and Awake in the Infinite Cold is amazing, but her review count is sadly low.

If you happen to remember a post from a few months back, bratty_vamp and myself have devoted time and liver function to come up with a Twilight series of drink recipes. You may also recall the "Edward"...which is simply a shot of Goldschlagger and a self-loathing comment. Well now as a NYE tradition for the both of us, we up the game with a giant block of ice to suck the delicious poison off of. Get it? It's funny because, its cold and hard and....

 Anyway, for your visual pleasure, here's the pictures of us *ahem* sucking Edward.

Me (hawatcha)                                                                                          Kat (bratty_vamp)

So fellow campers....care to share any awesome NYE stories? Twilight drinking games or adventures? 

uhhmmmmm....

 RANGER EDIT:

Saw this and thought I'd share. :)  

Last one! comment comment comment!

Come on-you have to help!

Hello Campers! I hope your second day of January is a great one!

I have just two questions for ya

1) what fanfiction you do currently have open on your computer right now? Not your favs, just what are you currently reading.

2) What "real" book are you reading currently?

ME:

I currently am reading Daedalus in Exile http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5379739/1/Daedalus_in_Exile,

I know you  http://twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=8635

She Speaks fear and Truth http://twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=8821

My real book is

She Went All The Way by Meg Cabot. I am hoping to have it finished by this weekend so I can start my reading challenge of 75 books this year.  I did 50 last year!! :)

oh and if you want to add any challenges you have for yourself this year..add those too!!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to ADF and a raging obessesed fic fan. I followed jandco and wtvoc over from fanfiction.net. I got into fanfic about six months ago. My best friend and I were talking about Breaking Dawn and wondering if there were any fanfics to fill in the blanks of what happened the wedding night (we're a little pervy like that...hehe)

Anywho, I literally Googled "Twilight Fanfiction" and came acrosss fanfiction.net and thus began my unhealthy, drug-like obessesion.

I've never actually written anything, but am in the process of toying around with few ideas. It's just a matter of me getting the balls to actually write it down and share.

I look forward to getting to know you guys and reading some more amazing fics!

<3,

This is a Campfire to think up a new term* for pictures of this man:

The banner ads on A Different Forest have been less than appealing lately. I kind of miss the ones for Twilight related merchandise and music and books, myself. I clicked on those ads and visited those sites. These new ones, no. Which got me thinking...MOST ads are generated by the content of the site. Word frequency can lead to banners that may appeal to the user of that site. (This makes sense for the advertiser to want to buy space when they are told that their ad will be seen by people who have an interest.)

BRAINSTORM A TERM FOR ROB PICS 

Maybe this will help, maybe it won't. But it'll be fun just the same.

*hopefully you all know which old term I am thinking of  ;)

So.

I was chatting with my peeps over at Edwardville and we were discussing why we hate Bellas so often in fics.

We all had similar reasons, and we listed some of our liked Bellas and some of our least likeable Bellas.

Bright like the Sun Bella

A Rough Start Bella

Master of the Universe Bella

I like The Antidote Bella-she called Edward on his Hyprocritical way of trying to control Bellas future.I loved that!!

These were among our liked Bellas just to name a few..becuase there weren't many to choose from..

Since so many authors hang out here, It got me thinking....Would one of you Powers that Be like to make a contest about a Likeable Bella.

I guess the fic could be about anything, and the goal for the winner to write the most liked Bella out of the lot?

Do you guys think this would be a fun contest?

I have no clue how to do a contest or set up a poll or voting link or anything...I wouldn't be able to do it. I would be more than happy to be a judge, though.

Tell me what you think and if you are a savvy author and would like to do this contest..let me know or just do it.

I really don't care if I am not involved. I just want to like a Bella every once in a while dammit!

I am off to Zumba to work out and when I get back I want lots of responses!! :0)

Please tell me it is a pic from a founder of this site's location!  Because it is so not what the upper West Coast area looks like.  I'm in Victoria and  two hours away from Forks even with the ferry over to deal with, and it is still raining tonight!.  Like  ALWAYS!!!!!!!  That snow on the trees is really pretty, but scary as well since we don't get it  except on rare occassions. I like it rare.   Like really rare.  Or never. Pretty trees though.  But where is the RAIN pics? That Forks has?  It is going to rain all week long.  Like normal.  Cry with me!
