Anna Kendrick has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Up in the Air.

So tell me campers... of the cast of Twilight who do you think will have staying power beyond the franchise? In ten years, will any of them be among the elite of Hollywood or will they be relegated to 'Where are they now'?

Umm….this is my first time posting…so here goes….

So in the last few days I’ve received a few updates in excess of 10K words.  I love these fics but I sometimes wish they could post more often and with fewer words.  As a reader, I tend to like chapters that are between 3500-6000 words.  I’m not exactly sure why, but ever since FF started telling us how many words are in an update, I’ve noticed that this is my preferred chapter size.  So…..

I know there are a lot of authors as well as readers out there.  If you’re an author, tell me if you try to ‘size’ chapters and for readers do you like longer chapters or shorter chapters?

Kellan Lutz has been hired to fill some very big underwear at Calvin Klein.

Fox411.com has learned exclusively that the "New Moon" hunk has been signed to a modeling contract with the fashion giant, and will be featured in a very familiar ad campaign.

"He’s going to be their new Mark Wahlberg," the insider told Fox411.com. "Kellan has been signed to Calvin Klein for a huge campaign that will feature him in his skivvies all over billboards and in magazines."

That’s right, 17 years later after his ripped abs ad campaign, Marky Mark finally has a worthy stomach-muscled successor.

“The executives have a plan to model the ads very similarly after the famous Mark Wahlberg campaign in the 90’s," the source said. "They want to recreate the look of the hugely successful ads, and who is better than Kellan Lutz to fill out those little underwear?”

Ahem. Moving right along...

The 1992 campaign was shot by the late legendary photographer Herb Ritts. No word yet on which lucky snapper will get close to Lutz’s vampire abs of steel.

Reps at Calvin Klein were not immediately available for comment.

SORRY, BUT KELLAN CAN'T COMPETE WITH THIS:

 Earlier today, I tweeted this: when bella is a vamp, and you know how in every fic "she's so tight" what about when she clenches? would edward's dick break off? especially when she's a newborn.

And, at Isle Esme, since she's still human, wouldn't Edward's penis stick to her? 'Cause he has to be pretty cold.

And there are a lot of things that the twilight series made me wonder about. I can't actually remember them right now, but I probably will later.

So, what do you wonder about the books/characters/etc in the twiverse?

Another sneak peek at "Remember Me" has been shared through a new trailer. Though shorter than the previously released snippet, the new video still manages to give a look at many never-before-seen scenes from the film, including how Robert Pattinson's Tyler gets into trouble by being involved in a fight.

Set in New York City, the film follows Tyler, a rebellious young man who tries to break every rule. Having a strained relationship with his father, he thought no one could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally.

As they begin to fall in love to each other, their newfound relationship is threatened after Ally witnesses her mother's murder and Tyler deals with the suicide of his brother, causing his parents to divorce. Moreover, hidden secrets are revealed and the circumstances that brought them together slowly threaten to tear them apart.

Starring opposite Robert Pattinson is Emilie de Ravin who plays Ally. Taking the roles of his on-screen parents are Pierce Brosnan and Lena Olin. Beside starring in it, the "Twilight" actor also serves as the executive producer alongside Carol Cuddy. Directed by Allen Coulter, the film will open wide in the U.S. on March 12, 2010.

I don't know, it's shorter than the other one.

What's your definition of blackwater?

Do you like it? Do you think it's stupid?

What blackwater situations do you want to see written about?

Are there any recs you have for me?

Bella just isn't a great role model.  Or a great heroine.  But then again, most of my idols aren't either.  For example...

I love Edie.

Campers, who do you admire?  Mom?  Grandpa?  Fictional character?  Celeb?  Bella Swan?  Angela Weber?  Aro?

Please, show me who and tell me why!

First off, I am not good with words, I HOPE I get the message through.

We, the hosts of the Mentalward Contest, apologize to the people who have been offended by the contest tagline and description.

[I know, its kinda late, but communication between the hosts was a challenge and yeah, its late]

We have been told that the issue was not with the contest itself but with the wordings we used..

It's really just that your contest requests characters that are mentally unstable, insane, crazy, but characterizes those traits as violent and dangerous (i.e. obsessive, stalkers). I don't think the contest itself is really the issue, but rather the wording. If it was a Stalkerward contest, I doubt we'd be hearing anything negative.

we were not as sensitive as we should have been, and we're sorry.

Sooooo we need help..

PLEASE help us make the wordings so that they would not be offensive.

“Mentalward” Contest

Exploiting the minds of those that are sick, twisted, and demented…

Presented by: Yanxxx, YellowGlue, DurtyNelly, and Rparkerp

Everyone has seen “Darkward” contests. We know them, we love them, but sometimes you want a little more. So we have decided to create a contest that focuses on what happens when Edward (or other characters) is a little insane. We are looking for characters that are mentally unstable, obsessive, stalkers, or any other term that would define them as insane or crazy.

=====================================================

while our favorites ARE twisted, sick, demented, sadistic, stalker-ish people..this is NOT all that the contest is about.. so yeah. Help us....

oh, and here are stalker manips

lol

Ok I just have to celebrate the update because I LOVE this fic and this is an Epic chapter! Go read, come back and discuss!! Wake up and DEW IT!!

What do you do?

I'm going through a strange phase in my life. I have a few family secrets to handle, and sometimes it gets too much to hold in. Anyhoo, other than family drama, I have no love life... Not even a fleeting moment or two, and I kinda feel resentful lately. Esp reading fluff fics. I CANNOT HANDLE FLUFF!

All this happens because I'm a hopeless romantic, meh... I have this little fear of ending up like Austen. EEEP!

The last guy I was really seriously interested in, is basically a mamma's boy. He told me firmly that he won't date anyone, and that he has entrusted his parents (esp mom) with finding a good bride for him. He has no intent of finding love himself. FUCKER! LOSER! ARRGH! (sorry, but I'm pissed...)

In other words, he was not into me at all... yeah I was, and it HURT LIKE HELL . One sided thingies suck big time. We were great friends, but I had to distance myself. whatever. That had me a jolted for a while, because I had this strange belief that similar thoughts and view and opinions help forming a bond. I was so fucking wrong. We had the same views on almost all the things, just not on relationships.

(And now I hear he's going out with one of my friends. His mamma approves, of course. haha, well...)

Why am I ranting? Because I have to study out of blue for an exam for a job. I'm drunk, and my life basically sucks right now. I freaking see couples all around me, and I read Twifics to lick my wounds. I'm going a little insane I think.

My life feels like a crackfic, or worse, like a bad!fic, with bitches and lame dudes in it. Has it happened to anyone else?

I'm unable to write at all, because I have hit a roadblock of sorts. I thought I'd finish the chapter this week, but its just not coming out well. I feel like a good-for-nothing writer because of this shit.

Pardon my typos and rant...

I joined Twitter. I know I am going to regret this but what the hell.

I am @barelybreath

Barelybreathing was taken (I already hate the bitch who has my name!)

Please add/follow me. I promise lots of insanity.

What is your twitter name? Do you tweet alot? Do you like Twitter? TELL ME IF I AM GOING TO HATE IT!!!

So, this is directly inspired by a gazebo post.

Let's pretend you wanted to publicly and dramatically flounce the fandom.

Write your goodbye Tweet. That's about twenty words. Think of it as a epitaph that would go on your fandom tombstone.

For example: "Killed myself doing auto-erotica inspired by MasterofUniverse. Jennyfly,  you get my nipple clamps. Sterilize em first."

 Imma gonna follow wolvesnvamps with announcing another fabulous update.

WHEN FICTION BECOMES REALITY updated!!!!!

This is one of my absolute favorite fics. Without a doubt.

Go read and show Bittenev some love!

BELLA! YOU GO GIRL! COME & DISCUSS WITH ME IMMEDIATELY. THIS STORY CONTINUES TO BLOW ME AWAY!!!

I believe you guys are getting the hang of this. This is all about YOU pimping STUFF. No, it doesn't have to be your own stuff..but no one will judge you if you do. This is all about you getting the word out about something that might not get the attention it deserves.

Maybe you are a writer? An Artist? Maybe you craft little sparkly Edwards and sell them on Etsy? 

It doesn't matter. we accept ALL.

This week, instead of pimping out anyone on the home page HERE..I am giving you the opportunity for ME to PIMP YOU. Are you shy? This may work. Do you want me to read (or see or experience) your stuff? This is your chance for me to give you props right here in the SPARKLEZONE. JUST POST IN MY CABIN your pitch and NEXT PIMP THREAD YOU COULD BE THE FEATURE.

As for me, I am working on this years Christmas Mixtape. For those of you who know me, you know it'll be awesome

(and that is how you pimp)

I dont know what you celebrate, but I just lit another candle on the Menorrah and put gifts under the Christmas Tree.

Yeah, I live in one of those households.

Anyhoo...

I was thinking about all of the wonderful ladies I wouldn't be able to get gifts for and wanted to show them some love.

So use this post to wish your BFFs a Happy Holiday.  Post a pic/gif of what you would give them.

This is my gift to all of you.

Frankly, I don't really care about Bella so reading about her and other male characters in the books hold zero interest for me, but I was just wondering if there are any of any well-written fics out there where Edward has a meaningful relationship with someone other than Bella. (That means not one of those slutty bimbo's who always seem to be his only other option.) It's okay if he ends up with Bella in the end, but are there any? I mean.. it's kind of weird that guys are apparently lining up at Bella's door but Edward gets to choose between Bella and some slutty/cheating girlfriend.

Often times we hear from the Twilight cast "It's not me they love...it's the character I portray..."  right.  And while it's true most fans have become familiar with the actors because of the Twilight saga, I don't know if I agree with the above statement.

I prefer mismatched buttoned, bearded, greasy Robert pics to Bouffant, Lipstick wearing Edward Cullen pics.

                >        

and i definitely prefer Rathbone to Jasper

Tell me, Campers... for purely aesthetical reasons only, which do you prefer?

Actor or Character?

Show Me Pictures!

Lately all my Darkward fics have either finished (Emperors of Washington ftw!) or they havent updated in a while so as I was scrolling through my fic list I found myself just...meh. 

 I want something new and I want it in the form of a dark Bella.

Does she exist? Is there any fics out there where Bella is a stalker, obsessive, a murderer, just plain bat shit crazy?

That is the type of fic I am looking for and if any of you know of any can you please let me know?

Thanks!!

Robporn?
