the VIP cabins are sadly lacking in attention.

see the icons above?  click on the one marked "VIP cabins".  go.  i dare you to post in at least three different cabins.  go show the artists/authors/rangers how much you love them, and leave them a picture or a music video or something.

and in this thread... tell me what the hell you're doing home on a friday night.

I just saw this and frowned:

Robward: noun, This is when the obsession of Edward in Twilight is transferred to the movie hottie Rob and the line of reality is dangerously blurred.

Ummm, last I checked...didn't Robward simply refer to Rob as Edward? I think our friends at E!Online need to be schooled.

So This Spawns off of my Change One Thing camp fire comment
Warning It's going To be A Rant more or less.
I wrote that If I Could Change Anything It Would Be;
Kristen & Rob's out look on the fans.
Im going to Elaborate on that more.

Kristen and Rob have been good actors and everything, But It's obvious they are getting annoyed.
Yeah, sure, okay they get followed by paparazzi, and fans they have reasons to be annoyed,
they have no privacy but hey! that's called being Famous.
You dont go into that kind of buisness truely believing
"Everyone will love me so much that they will leave me alone"
And if they did then they need to quite the drugs. <_<
Alot of people complain about the acting, the books, the editing, etc.
But no one ever notices the other things.
Like that fact that our OH SO WONDERFUL celebrity icons are staying distant from the fandom.
Why is this? Because they dont want to deal with the fans or the hype. Only the money.
Not ALL the actors are like that. Kellan Lutz & Peter Facinelli are examples of this.
They love the fans and if you've watched their interviews and stuff, they clearly care.
But Rob & Kristen are the ones Im singling out here.
Yes, they do say they love the fans but what they say and actually feel are two different things.
An example of what I mean is;
The Fandom can say we want to kill Nessie but do they actually mean it?
Most of you will say yes but when you look at it like what if it was your child or even your friends child;
demon spawn or not, would you kill it because of what it is? Because it ruined the book series?
Some people would say its just a book series and that she isnt real.
Exactly but does that make the morals any more wrong?
Kill a baby because its not the way you want it?

Summit Is bad too. Im not buying the 'we didnt expect how big it would got' bull!
If it wasnt going to hit big in the box office then Summit wouldnt have made it a movie.
They knew it would hit big, that's why they took up the saga - for the money.
It's clear, Im taking a broadcasting class
and when I complained about the media my teacher said 2 things:
1. That because I do my school news that makes me the media - which I responded with well them Im clearly the only one in the media that gets it.
and
2. That the media is full of money hungry wolves. They look pretty from a distance but get to close and you will realize they want nothing but the thing they crave from you - the thing they are hungry for.
Now I truely love this teacher because he A) is super awesome and crazy and B) is completely true in that comment.
Whether he truely ment it or was just fueling the fire and just mocking me - i dont know
but all I know is that it could be my bad mood or just how I actuallty feel,
But at this present time I truely believe everything Ive written.

Now The Interactive Part.
Most People add random activities onto the campfires
to make them follow the interactive guideline in the ranger station.
Me, What I want is for you to discuss what I wrote.
Do you believe Im just in a bad mood?
Do you see where Im coming from?
Are there any actors that are doing what Ive written?
Do you think Im looking for the bad in the situation?
What is your opinion on this?

Yes I know it's a contraversial - or will be - topic
but I want us fans in the twi-verse to jump out of our fan-girl skin
and look at it from a non-fan or even a buisness person's point of view
and see what out love for the books may have blinded us.
Now I'll shut up because Im probably a Debbie-Downer Right now.

Rangers feel free to delete this. I wont be upset <3

 so a friend sent me this pic, saying it was a leaked shot of the Newborn vamps...not sure..

it kind of goes along with this pic from the set :

has anyone seen this yet? 

i'm uncertain if it's actually from Eclipse....

If you could ask any one cast member any one question, and get an honest answer, what would you ask and to whom?

If you could change ONE thing in the Twilight world what would it be?

Casting? Imprinting? Bad Wigs? the existence of Renesmee? the outcome of your favourite fic?

For me, it's a toss up between eliminating the use of the word chagrin and improving the fashion sense of the characters. I would love nothing more than to dress Bella in something other than a khaki floor length skirt and stop Edward wearing beige turtlenecks. But I'm shallow.

Fellow Campers, please share what you would change!

I was content to just read the campfires here and comment every once in a while but this just needed to be shared.  If you need a laugh or just want to share in the OMGWTF-ness go to My Life is Twilight:  http://www.mylifeistwilight.com/

Read the Top 100.  You'll find gems like this there: 

In the ninth grade biology class I teach, there is a boy named Ed and a girl named Bella. I have paired them up for every lab assignment we have had so far in this year in hopes that they will get together. I even asked my supervisors permission to hold a blood testing day. MLIT

I sincerely hope this hasn't already been posted.  If so, you can vote me off the island or out of the forest, rather.

Do you have any MLIT moments?

Hi Campers!!!

Guess what we Rangers are doing right now..........

A new ADF VIP authors vote!!!! Yup-that's right-the nominees are in and the voting process is underway.

Stay tuned for the winners-we will announce them this weekend!

To make this interactive-tell us about

YOUR WEEKEND PLANS!!

 'cause my stupid computer won't let me do accents on my words, it is now cliches.

Aaaanyway, what do you roll your eyes at in fanfictions?

If you see them, do you flounce?

My version of a fanfic cliche would have to be Alice who is a pixie that runs around spreading everyone in hypnotizing pixie dust that makes everyone think she's awesome and takes Bella to got torture her shopping and play Bella Barbie, an Edward that must be Edward because he uses big words, Jasper that is a stoner/hippy and knows no other word than darlin', Bella that is confident on her beauty to do everything (in the books she was stated as plain and the men in Forks only saw her as beautiful because of her "good" personality and were blinded by their love) and a stupid as shit Emmett.

Just because I'm wearing my top with him on it and I really want some chocolate milk:

Here's a great take on New Moon:  LOL!Moon.

http://microsuede.blogspot.com/2009/11/movie-review-twilight-saga-new-moon.html

(Scroll down for the series of pics.)

Here I go. Please don't kill me, or throw tomatoes at me, because I not very fond of them

I have to admit that twilight is not my first love. I'll also admit that I haven't even read the books. I really like Vampires, but not I did not start with Buffy, The Vampire Diaries or any other TV show you can think of, I started liking Vampires when I read a little book called 'Dead until Dark.' Yes, I know, kill me now I'm spy for the other team.  The Southern Vampire Mysteries/Sookie Stackhouse Novels are so intriguing to me. She is a quirky and Loveable heroine. She is not soapy or in need of a man to complete her. She gets staked, stabbed, beaten, raped, trapped, deceived and many other things you can think of. But she is not shy, she tells you when she makes mistakes and sometimes she makes decisions I don't agree with. She is loyal and hates the thought of becoming a "kept woman" But on the other hand, there doesn’t seem to be soul mate in her life, and that my friends, is what attracted me to TWILIGHT.  So by now I have read at least 50 or more twilight fics, ranging from AU/AH/Cannon pairings/Non-Cannon pairings, Jasper and Maria, Bella and Peter, Edward and Rosalie and anything else you can think of. Basically I have fallen in love with Romance stories.  I have seen the movies (BTW the first one sucked) a couple of times. I love TLYDF, among other websites. Is twilight your first love? I leave you with some pictures of my favorite Viking. I hope you like him and become entralled by him as much as I am.

PS. I told you I was a spy for the other team ; )

.

So. I'm reading The Elite by Fate of Gabriel. I'm going through my older "to be reads."  

And. Well.

I'm not anti-non canon pairings so I know it's not that....I think I just don't like the characters that much.  Which has nothing to do with the writing or the material, I just can't seem to get behind anyone and that includes Alice. 

My question to those that have read it...I'm on Chap. 10...and I'm just wondering if it's worth sticking it out?  I know, I know that's subjective but... 

Like does Rosalie get hers in the end? Does Alice wake up from the "fitting in" spell and stand up to her? 

Is it icky when/if Edward and Alice get it on?  (this is probably the only pairing I find a little...ew.) 

What did you think?  

I guess I could read the reviews to see what others said, but nah. I like y'alls opinions. 

Today I found out that the boy (I call him boy 1)  who loves my friend is also trying to help another boy  (boy 2) to win her over. That's just weird. Well, honesty this boy 1 is the one I love. And I help him win over my friend. But my friend loves boy 2. How mad is it? It's just... life is so funny sometimes. I wish everything was easier and less complicated.

And how about you? What's your maddest situation in love life? I mean, it doesn't have to be your life, but your friends, maybe? Do you know some fics about really complicated situation like this? With web of people that love the certain person who love another etc. 

The Emperors of Washington is an amazing fic by the lovely Miss gallantcorkscrews and if you haven't read it yet I suggest you do because its creative, innovative and something completely different. 

I just wanted to discuss the notion of the HEA.  I've read some other fics out there that don't follow the Bella/Edward plan of falling in love and being together forever and I enjoy them just as much as one's with HEA.  But, when reading reviews (I like to see what others have to say) it seems that a lot of readers feel cheated and dissapointed that the writer dose not grace them with a HEA, even if the writer states there won't be one.

So, it just got me thinking, do you require a HEA?  And if the author states there won't be one will you continue reading?

I found this while clicking around McSweeney's Internet Tendency, and subsequently loled. Now I shall share the yucks.

www.mcsweeneys.net/2009/11/20quatro.html

In conclusion, if you're not reading McSweeny's you should be.

Sleighbells ring! Are ya listening?

In the lane, snow is glistenin!

I'm so over this autum backdrop. Let's get in the seasonal spirit.

Campers, submit your HQ desktop size pictures of snow covered trees to be the December background for A Different Forest.

At the end of the day I will personally pick one. My decision is final. I will not be bribed or listen to any whining.

Post reasonable size copies for viewing in the comments along with a LINK to the full size image. Thanks.

Ready? Go!

Kristen Stewart isn't the only girl in R-Pattz's life...

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has kept us all guessing over his relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart, but we can reveal that, in reality, he is closer to his agent Stephanie Ritz.

While his on-off romance with Kristen, 19, has cooled since the summer, Brit hunk Robert has strong feelings for thirtysomething Stephanie.

‘Whenever he needs advice, Stephanie's the one he turns to,' a source tells Now . ‘She's very supportive of his musical aspirations and is helping him to get that off the ground.'

Kristen dumped her boyfriend Michael Angarano to hook up with 23-year-old Rob, but things have never been stable and they've had screaming rows about Rob's wandering eye and, in particular, his closeness to Stephanie.

Kristen's furious that he spends so much time with her and seems to hang on her every word.

‘Rob and Kristen never talk about their relationship publicly because they're not sure there's much to talk about. They ham it up for the cameras to help the movie get publicity, but other than that they find it a difficult subject.

'There's a real chemistry between them, but they're so young they don't know what they want. It's a bit of a mess, to be honest.'

‘Rob's always been a troubled soul and left the UK for Hollywood so that he could escape his demons. That doesn't make for a great boyfriend.'
