Celebrating his birthday Las Vegas style, Jackson Rathbone was spotted at The Bank at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino Resort on Friday night (December 18).

The “Twilight” stud, who turns 25 on December 21, looked to be enjoying his birthday party which was complete with a huge man in a banana suit cake.

In other news, Mr Rathbone and his band, “100 Monkeys,” recently released their new album titled, “Grape.”

Of “Grape” the Jasper Hale actor tells, “We wrote songs as we caravanned cross-country, we recorded songs standing in piles of pillows in the middle of a living room, and we worked with countless amazing people to make it all happen.”

“100 Monkeys” will be setting out for a 100-city tour the day after Christmas.

So its one week before christmas and It is my favorite time because I love all the decoration and lights.

My favorite are the trees. So lets see um campers!

Show me your christmas or Hanukka or other holiday decor.  All of it trees, outside giant santas, menorahs, whatever.

~By the way I know its the last night of Hanukka I would have posted last week when wtvoc approved my campfire but I only just now figured out how to get pics off my camera. Sad, I know

Ok, so there are a few fics that I really like that haven't updated in more than 2 months...

Maybe I'm Amazed

Failure to Thrive

The Porcupine Embrace

Have the authors abandonned these fics or are they just caught up in the stuff that makes up RL?

Do you have any favs that haven't updated in a while??

O_o

This just in from MTV. 

Thanks to author Stephenie Meyer, the once little-known Western Washington hamlet of Forks has become a hotbed for "Twilight"mania. We already looked at how the franchise saved the small town from economic hardship. And documentary filmmakers recently turned their lenses on the logging community for the film "Twilight in Forks," which will be released on DVD alongside "New Moon." So it seems like the next logical step is a Forks reality show, right? Anyone?

A casting call has gone out for Forks residents (yes, you must permanently live in the town!) to try out for a proposed reality show, reports the Forks Forum.

Um, WAT?

By now, I'm sure most of us have seen the teaser trailer for Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning's new film 'The Runaways.' Many of you have asked 'IS THAT THEM SINGING?'

Spin magazine can answer that question for half of the duo. 

YES. 

Kristen Stewart, the sought after 19-year-old actress the world knows as "Bella" from the Twilight series, has a new image: a badass rocker who breaks beer bottles, sings sexual punk anthems, and has a questionable hair-do. Get the first look at KStew -- and a grown Dakota Fanning -- in the trailer for The Runaways below.

But first, a little history for non-music nerds: The Runaways were a short-lived all-girl punk band from L.A. that broke up in 1979 after releasing a handful of successful albums -- including their 1976 hit "Cherry Bomb" -- and toured with bands like the Ramones and Cheap Trick. Stewart portrays Joan Jett, the quartet's co-founder and de facto leader, while Fanning plays vocalist/keyboardist Cherie Currie.

The trailer for the film (out March 19) starts with some hyper-dramatic narration ("In 1975, rock was a man's world. Until…"), then segues into the juicy bits: KStew getting rowdy, throwing a chair and hurling a beer bottle in a recording studio, telling the story of an out-of-control band hooked on rock's excesses (read: drugs and sex). But that's not even the best part. That comes when Stewart sings. Yep: the revamped music of "Cherry Bomb" features lead vocals from the vampire-lover herself.

IDK, it sounds an awful lot like the actual song. However, Kristen DID do some singing in Into The Wild, including one of my all-time favorite songs,  a cover of 'Angel From Montgomery.'

WHAT DO YOU THINK, CAMPERS?

I am bored.

I gave up on waiting by window for Jasper Hale to come and re enact Rapunzel with me only a little more mature and pondering on whether the common cold was contagious via internet because I am always thinking of you guys quite sometime ago.

Now I want to play game with you guys :)

Lets call it....

Twist The TwiQuote For The Laughs

And here is how it goes...

I will name a quote from The Twilight Saga. For example:

"If we had happy endings, we'd all be under gravestones by now."

~Rosalie Hale, Eclipse.

With that quote, I will ask you to add a funny twist to it. For example:

Rosalie: "If we had happy endings, we'd all be under gravestones by now."
Bella: "If it makes you feel any better, you might have ended up a pile of ashes in an urn."
Rosalie: "Go to hell, Bella."
Bella: "See you there."

Not very funny. But still. Do you get it now?

Rules:

• The person who originally said it in the books must stay the person saying it when you put a funny twist on it.
• You can bring whoever you want into the funny twist. It doesn't have to be the person who it was said to in the books. They don't even have to be there.
• There is no limit on how long you make the funny spin.
• You are not allowed to make the funny spin AU. For example: Making Edward human.
• You have to state which book it has been taken from.

I think that is just about it. Now. You are allowed to choose any quote you want as long is it from The Twilight Saga.

Are you ready? Go.

EDIT: Thank you jennyfly for fixing the repeat posting mishap :)

So right now outside looks exactly like the background here at ADF......are you enjoying snow today like we are??  If not I will make a snow angel for you!!

Do you have to like a character as a person in order to like them as a character?

I know that I, sometimes, am like "Yeah- this character is complex and interesting and well written, but they're also a total tool. I don't want to read about someone I don't want to have a beer with."

Which is weird. I'd read about Stalin but I would run the other way if I met him in person.

But maybe its just fanfic. Fanfic is a guilty pleasure, and in ff land, I want all my characters to be approachable and awesome.

What do you think? Can you read about a Bella/Edward that you would hate in real life? Are you more lenient with some characters than with others? Like. I can read about a douchey Edward, but give me a slightly bitchy Bella and I flounce immediately.

 Stalin was a hot ass young dude.And look at that sex hair!

Lets share...

TWILIGHT FAN FICTION TRAILERS!

It might be a trailer for your story.

It might be a trailer you have made for a story.

It might be a trailer for a story you like.

It might be a trailer you just like for the heck of it.

Whatever.

Lettuce share :)

I'll start...

All credit for this trailer goes to the ever so awsome SmokeyFizz. Hopefully this will get made into a fic before I explode.

We all know this trailer :) No words can describe its awsomness.

Your turn...

Ok Campers! We have several updates we need to take care of this morning! 

First up is Pastiche Pen with Chapter 8 of her fic Psychotic Super-Powered Vampirism!  (What a cool ass title, right??)

After you check out the update, stop by her VIP CABIN and let her know what you think! (She's my neighbor.)

If you're a Jasper/Bella shipper, then LaViePastiche has a treat for you. Sex. On a Bus. That's the chapter title of her yummy new fic Public Transit! Let her know what you think about this smutty goodness in her VIP CABIN!

And last but not least, is giselle-lx, author of Ithaca is Gorges, with her interpretation of Edward's Breaking Dawn talk with Carlisle in The Talk. Giselle is a newer author in our forest, so be sure to stop by her VIP CABIN for a visit around the fire. 

I want to encourage all of you to interact with these lovely VIP Author's on our site. The forums are blazing hot and so much fun! So go out there and get to know your favorites! 

Title Explains All

Quick question though.

Where the hell is Taylor Lautner?

Or Taylor Swift for that matter.

Neither are featured in the trailer. Interesting.....

Are you reading it? Have you read the last mindfuck chapter? Because I did and that shit fucked with my mind as usual... So is anyone reading this fic?

SOOOOO Campers what is everyone doing on their lovely Friday Night??

I am sitting at the computer drinking tea in a snuggie and reading Fan-Fic!!!!  What could be better than that? 

Well i can think of a few things but my options are limited....so this is just fine for me......plus its FREEEEEEEZZZING tonight and we are expecting a SNOW STORM!!! YAYAYAYAYA!

WTVOC graduates today...I'm proud, she's proud and it's all very nice....

Now...I want to know what you're proud about.  

Tell me of your accomplishments or people you're generally proud of.

I got out of bed this morning and did not burn myself on the coffee pot.  I'm very proud about that.

Your turn.

 OK. I KNOW THIS CREEPY GUY AND HE THINKS HE IS A VAMPIRE. BUT NOT THE SPARKLY HOMOSEXUAL TWILIGHT VAMPS. A REAL VAMPIRE., FANGS, HUMAN BLOOD, BURNING IN SUNLIGHT (YET HE STILL GOES OUTSIDE ON SUNNY DAYS BECAUSE HE IS BRAVE) AND GARLIC HATING VAMP.

HE LINKED ME TO THIS WEBSITE WHERE HE BOUGHT HIS FANGS FROM. HE IS ONLY A NEWBORN, SO HE HASN'T GO THIS HUNTING FANGS YET. HE'S ONLY GOT NUBS.

SO, HERE I WAS, LAUGHING. AND THEN I CLICKED ON CLOTHING, TO LAUGH SOME MORE.

I FOUND THESE:

 THE APPLE SAYS "BITE ME" AND THE BACK SAYS "OFFICIAL I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN FAN CLUB MEMBER"

BACK: OFFICIAL I LOVE JACOB BLACK CLUB MEMBER FRONT: HOT DOG

FRONT: I BET SHE'S TOUGHER THAN THAT. BACK: SHE RUNS WITH VAMPIRES.

FRONT: TWILIGHT. VAMPIRES ARE FOREVER. 

THESE ARE DESIGNED BY THE STEPHENIE MEYER HERSELF. ISN'T SHE GOOD?

just updated. anyone else reading this?

anyone else think Michael is it for a mayjor mind fuck?

the way the author describes Carlisle "physically here but a million miles away".

I would be afraid of what this Edward would do

 There are lots of genres of Fanfiction out there.

Mystery, supernatural, western, angst, hurt/comfort, drama, humour, parody, and so on.

What's your favourite? If you have one.

Mine would be...crackfic. I think you might've guessed. I wrote one, too. I don't mind angst or drama, I just find that it bores me a bit. But with crackfic, you don't know what's going to happen. I know it can be like that with angst and mystery, but with crackfic, you really don't know. It's called crackfic because it makes you think "Was she high when she wrote this?!" And that's why I love it. It's, truly, like crack to me.

But, nowadays, it does feel like I'm flouncing the fandom as I don't read too much twific anymore.

The indie flick Kristen Stewart filmed before Twilight has been showing up more and more online lately. 

Check out the latest clip to be released.

Her little Southern accent is kind of cute. 

AKA Random Twilight Musings.... 

~ Has anyone seen the commercial for New Moon that claims someone called it, "The Most Romantic Movie of the Year!" Like really? Romantic? Weird. 

~ Why do people post their stories on Twilighted vs. Fanfic? FanFic vs. Twilighted?  Why just one? Why both?

~ Do you think book Alice has hair under her arms and on her legs?  I mean she was in an institution, I doubt shaving was a priority to them.   

~ You know how Rosalie and Em's relationship is defined as "Physical?" Yet I see them wholly as unsexual, like Barbie dolls.  Isn't that strange?  I mean maybe it's something about untouchable perfection. 

~ I was just reading Cullen's Island in Storytelling and while it was cute and sexy, all I could think about was sand lodged in uncomfortable places.

Lol - So it's Friday, and there's NO ONE in my office and I'm bored.  What's on your mind lately?  Are you done Christmas/Holiday shopping?  Hoping for any Twilight goodies under the tree?       

Remember that contest where you take two holiday songs, and change the lyrics to anything about Twilight, A Different Forest, and the Rangers?

Where you could win a $150 gift card? And the wieners song will be sung on Trainwreck?

WELL, HURRY UP.

CONTEST CLOSES MONDAY NIGHT AT 11:59 PM EST.

ALL ENTRIES MUST BE SENT TO

torsstupidmouth@gmail.com

I am easily swayed by Billy Burke, Henry Cavill, Gerard Butler, and Backstreet Boys. Oh, and Def Leppard.

Bonus points if you record the songs yourselves.
