So, ill admit. Imma major Lurker. But I just found a supernew story, that I think might be promising. Maybe.  I guess its just because its totally gross, and includes Bella as a thick girl, im kind of excited. Its called Soft Girls, just check it out and see if you like it. the author is not very well known. But I love looking for the unknown spectacular fics. Hopefully this turns to be a good story. (:

Hopefully this is accepted.

Thank god christmas is over! What did yall get, anything twilight related? I got a handmade purse from my mother with a stiched Emmett face . Its hideous, but I cant help but wear it everywhere. Even though I'm a closet Twilight fan. And I got an amazing kindle that I have uploaded so many fanfic to it.

Seriously.  We haven't seen or heard anything about this guy in what seems like a long time...A whole week or something like that. 

Tell me...where do you imagine him to be?

I'd like to think him in my bed, wearing muddy tennis shoes and sullying my pillow with cigarette ashes and dandruff.

It is up at Live Journal-I haven't gotten it yet on ff.net.

Here is the link to AG's LJ-

 Now that Christmas is over thank god I was wondering. Since everyone has opened their presents, I think, if you celebrate Christmas what fictional character would you have wanted to greet you under the tree?

I would want Mr. Darcy. Both the P&P and Bridget Jones adaptions. Just because uhh unf. Also, Georgia Nicholson so she could be my best friend because she is made of awesome.

I totally can't remember any more.

Because this song fits:

Oh, and to the people who don't celebrate Christmas, Happy whatever! I am not up to thinking today so it's a bit blah.

but actual book recs. I got a gift card to Books a Million yesterday and was wanting some recs from my fellow campers. Is there a book you have read that you think is just great and that everyone should read? What are you favorite all time books? I need some help spending my gift card!

Hope everyone had a good holiday!

So now that the big day is over

what are your plans? Are you taking the tree down? Rushing to the stores to buy that half off christmas gift wrap? Just spending the day in bed reading ff? (boy I wish I could)

me, well Dad is going to be in town and then going to see the movie Avatar in 3D with my cousin. Probably hit a sale or two on the way home.

I hope you all had a great Christmas!!!

and cause a campfire also needs a little HC love

Rangers: I wasn't sure if the forest was still a free for all, so if its not...please do what you must to this campfire! Thank you :)

Hey everyone...hope your holidays have been fabulous!

Fanfiction is failfiction right now:  the story alerts aren't working.  I checked my favorites and several had updates, so if you have any fics in particular you've been waiting for, you might want to log in.

Also, if you're looking for an excellent new fic, let me recommend this one by philadelphic:

www.fanfiction.net/s/5125499/1/La_canzone_della_Bella_Cigna

Bella is a voice student in a renowned music conservatory; Edward is assigned to be her accompanying pianist.  Great writing with lots of twists and humor. The couples are canon, but I won't say more than that because it's among the surprises in this fic.  I love all the musical references, too.  

It's not angsty or heartbreaking, but I wouldn't call it a lighthearted fluffy romp, either.  And the lemons are reeeeaaaaallllyyyy good.

 eta:  fixed the link

While the holidays are usually very happy and festive for me, this year we had to put down one of my pets. :(  Needless to say, it's been a difficult holiday this year...

So... I need something to cheer me up.  Post anything funny that is Twilight related.  I don't care if it's fic, graphics, videos, gifs, whatever, as long as it'll make someone laugh b/c I really need that right now.  (Bonus points if you can make it Holiday related too). 

Thanks everyone and I hope you all had a great holiday! 

(ranger approved by pixievamp08)

What do all of these things have to do with Twilight?

Nothing.

We're still on a free for all.  Post whatever you wish!

Hi everyone!  Well, I hope y'all  "survived" Christmas with your sanity intact!  Mine was kind of embarrassing; I had thought my Twilight obsession was fairly well hidden but apparently I was "outed" by my well meaning but diabolical sister...I ended up getting 2 twilight calendars, a 6 ft. tall Edward cardboard cutout, a teeny tiny Edward action figure and an Alice bracelet...and I'm middle aged, not 14!  You wouldn't believe the things my family said about the 6 ft. tall cardboard Edward....Needless to say my husband is not a happy camper!  Yay...more marriage counseling in my future... Did any of you get "outed"?!

.

This is Mazy the dog. She wants to wish everyone in the forest a very Merry Christmas!

She didn't really like the hat, but sacrifices must be made in the name of holiday merry making.

I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

 So I know this is not technically related to Twilight but I hope you Rangers are still in the Christmas spirit and will allow this post.

Well, my husband, being the wonderful man he is, bought me a Amazon Kindle for Christmas. I was super excited when I opened my presents this morning and I've already bought all the Twilight books for it. I just wish he would have been here for me to hug and kiss and thank for this amazing gift. 

So I wanted to put my fav fan fics on there but I'm not exactly sure how to go about that. So give me advice if ya got it and if not just rec me your fav ones.

Thanks loves.

And Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and all that good stuff. :]

Oh, I can't forget. Happy Festivus. :]

So, I confess ( are you listening Father Edward? If not get Jennyfly on here)

I haven't read any fanfiction in nearly a month....NEARLY A MONTH!

I've been on my feet all day. I've concocted my best Xmas feast to date in 20 years of cooking Christmas dinner - thought tomorrows turkey may top that, TY Grown Ass Woman fro th brining recipe - and I'm going to get into bed and start a fic.

Pre-requisites/

E/B pref canon or AU vamp

Angst, lots of it, I want heratfail, I want tears, I want palpitations, but I do not want melodrama. Quality writing only please.

Does not have to be HEA.

Okay, give it to me....and.....MERRY XMAS

i have decided. i am going to live half the year in austraillia and half the year in england. the walm halves of the year. this way i do not have to cope with snow. or, in my case, ice created my freezing cold and a downpour of rain. resulting in me falling on my ass ALOT.

where would you rather be?

So...I spent a good hour of my Christmas Day stuck in a snowbank.  Thankfully I had a warm house, a good dinner and lots of wine to go to when we got unstuck. 

Is there anyone that is stuck out there in this Christmas hell that was stupid like me and went out in this?

What did you guys do today?  Was the weather nice for you all this Christmas?

There was a contest.

And Beckaboo won!

She won some gr-r-r-reat things...and she also has to now deal with this.

Trainwreck presents Beckaboo's song.

Camping in a Different Forest-land            

Fan girls squee, are you listening,  
On the screen, Edward’s glistening 
A beautiful sight, 
We're fapping tonight. 
Camping in a different forest-land.

Gone away is the fighting, 
Comments made, never slighting 
You’ll feel you belong, 
You just can’t go wrong, 
Camping in a Different Forest-land.

During Trainwreck Joe gets mighty upset, 
Jess is always there to calm him down

He'll say: Are you kidding? 
She'll say: No man, 

They even haveA BK New Moon crown.                                                                      

Come and roast SMeyer, 
In a new campfire 
And face unafraid,  
The comments you’ve made, 
Camping in a Different Forest-land.

Storytelling has the best of authors, 
There are updates mostly everyday 
Don’t forget to stalk your favorite author, 
And visit other cabins on your way.

When you dance, ain't it thrillin, 
Jenn and Tor always chillin 
The Canuck and Aussie, are mighty saucy 
Camping in a Different Forest-land.

Camping in a Different Forest-laaaaaaaand!

I dont know about you campers but, I for one am so glad that the holidays are over. New Years isnt that big of a deal for my family. We by a few bottles of alcohol and watch Dick's balls drop...er something like that.

Any who, I'm kind of excited about the coming year and what it could bring.

What about you?

What are you most looking forward to in the new year?

Got any resolutions, prediction, goals. Come share.

Because I love food almost as much as I love Twilight/Rob....

I made a prime rib roast, green bean casserole, sauteed asparagus, sweet-n-savory potatoes, regular mashed potatoes, rolls, Yorkshire pudding (which I forgot to get in my picture), and CANNED cranberry sauce :-P   A fuck-ton of food for just 3 people, we'll be eating good for the next week. So what did YOU have for dinner???

RIGHT NOW I ONLY WANT TO DISCUSS ONE THING...

THE DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL :)

I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING.

Was you left screaming at your television when they finished on the evil, yet undeniably good, cliff hanger?
Are you excited for the second part on New Years?
Are you freaked out by the site of The Master in a dress?
Are you dissapointed and didn't like it?
What do you want to happen?
Do you think the Ood are cute?

ANYTHING. I JUST FINISHED WATCHING IT AND I AM ON A HYPE.

Oh. And most importantly. Who is going to miss Dr McHottie?

And who is not looking forward to Dr McTurnip?

I WANT TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS.

OH. AND...

MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

A GIFT?

I know you can't copyright fanfiction, but I went and found a website that explains more (A Brief Introduction to Copyright for Fan Fiction Authors), and it says something about the more a character deviates from a copyrightable character, the more copyright an author is entitled to. It also says "You can certainly copyright your own literary expressions." And also:

In analyzing the various factors, the courts have used:

• "total look and feel approach";
   
• "subtractive approach" or "analytical approach"; and
   
• "verbatim similarity" or "fragmented literal similarity".

   

"Total look and feel approach" is basically what it says. The inquiry is whether the copied work and the allegedly copying work look and feel the same overall.

"Subtractive approach" is the same as the "analytical approach". The courts would look at the different levels of abstraction, through filtration and comparison, and take out the non-copyrightable material to see if there's infringement.

"Verbatim similarity" is the same as "fragmented literal similarity". The courts would compare the work and see whether or not there's a finding of copying of actual expressions.

And now I'm so confused. Does this OOC fics can be copyrighted? Please help me out here (even though I have no plans of copyrighting anything).
