It's my first post and I would like to greet you with question - would you rather read story placed in the past, present or future? What do you prefer - Queen Bella or Cosmonaut Swan? Have you got any crazy  fantasy with Edward inside the carriage? What do you think about writing a historical story? And maybe some authors can tell us how hard it is to do so? 
I love "once upon a time" and modern fan fiction. I can't stand any science - fiction, so future isn't for me. 

It's mighty quiet in the forest today.

Many of you are probably preparing your Thankgiving feasts, but I celebrated my Thanksgiving last month, so here I sit...at work....bored.

So it's time for round two of Caption that Pic.

The winner of the first round was the lovely Stalle.

Here is her caption:

KStew: My name Peaches and I'm the best, all the DJ's want, to feel my breats. hika hika hika

RPattz: I didn't know you could rap!!

Taycob: She can't

If you have a picture for the next round let me know.

Now on with the next pic...

(thanks to taciturnsblood for posting this one)

itzmegan updated The Cannabean Betrothal last night. You can read Chapter 11 right HERE

If you have yet to start this story, there is no better time than today

Summary: Edward has immersed himself in the Cannabean way to ward off the hurt of a life-changing experience; but an unexpected betrothal teaches him how little he knows about life. There is no abuse in this story.

After you are done reading you can show love in her Cabin HERE

I'm depressed.

I can't seem to find a fic that piques my interest. =[

HELP ME PLEEEEEEASE.

----

Kindly recomend me a fic that meets the following criteria.

1. It's not angst or hurt fics [I'm already depressed and sort of angsty, no need to fuel it more]

2. must be Rated M or T

3. minimum of 10 chapters

4. E/B only. I repeat, EDWARD AND BELLA FICS ONLY.

Chocolates are also accepted. =]

okaaaaayyyy... so it's 6:17 in the morning and I kind of... forgot to go to sleep last night. unfortunately, I have to wake up in 30 mins anyway for a 5 hr road trip to Vermont. Joy.

So to bide my time, I'm looking for a particular fic. I forget the name, but it's about Bella being Carlisle's new young girlfriend, but she ends up falling for his son, Edward. It's really amazing and well-written, even if that summary doesn't do it much justice. Anyone know the name?

 So I don't know if this has been posted already but I thought it was funny. So here ya go.

This is something that baffles me... The obsession with HEAs.

So tell me campers, do you turn in to this:

(I stole this from the lovely DragonsExist)

when a fic doesn't end with sunshine and rainbows? Do you absolutely NEED a HEA to read/love a fic?

Do you think it makes a story less good if there isn't one?

Discuss :)

I've looked everywhere for this and I can't find it, so I thought I'd try asking here.

Does anyone have an animated gif of Jasper running at Bella/flying through the air in New Moon?

I'll love you forever if you share it!

RANGER EDIT: I PICKED AND I WANT TO HAVE THIS PLAYLIST'S HOT HOT BABIES.

Okay so I'm like, really addicted to Twilight and fanfiction. Like REALLY

and at the very rare moments in my life when I'm not reading a fic or doing something Twilight related, I find myself trying to see how it relates to Twilight. I mean its the most random things.

This is my most recent one. I was watching reruns of SYTYCD and I instantly came up with a million reasons why it reminds me of Twilight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg7ScfP8Qyc (link, incase it doesnt play)

*sighs*

I am srsly ill.

And I know all of you are too. So...tell me, (or show me, whatev ;p) What random non-Twilght things can you irrationally relate back to Twilight or a fic?

They did this raw-absolutely no producing or editing on this and they rock as usual. Watch and discuss.

This is my first post so bear with me.

I got this from Yahoo. What do you think? Seems like Miley wants attention.

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" might have opened with huge numbers at the box office and had the biggest November & Friday openings for any movie ever - but teen sensation Miley Cyrus wasn't one of the Twi-hards pledging their allegiance to Team Edward or Team Jacob. In fact, the teen star considers the whole "Twilight" world to be "a cult."
 

"I think it's like [a] cult... I think it's a cult," Miley told Sirius XM's The Morning Mash Up in an interview that aired on Tuesday. "I think it's bad. I think it's like, just people get too into it.

The "Hannah Montana" star goes on to compare people's obsession with "Twilight" to the public's fascination with models.
"For me, I think it's like when guys look at supermodels and they're like, 'That's the perfect girl,' ... That's what those kind of movies do to us," she continued. "They're like thinking that's what girls should be like and not everyone is going to be Edward, hate to say it."
Miley might be anti-vampire, but she's very pro-pirate.
 

"Johnny Depp is way hotter than Robert Pattinson, for sure," Miley said when asked about the actor nabbing People magazine's coveted "Sexiest Man Alive" title.
 

And if the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star hadn't been honored with the award, Miley would have liked to see it go to one of her former Disney pals.
 

"There's not many things about me that are like a normal teenage girl. But the one like normal teenage girl thing is that I think Zac Efron is the hottest person in the world," Miley said. "I really, really like him. And it's weird... it's weird because he's my friend. I think also the reason that he is so sexy is because he and Vanessa [Hudgens] have been together since the first 'High School Musical' and... I think that's really cool."
 

And Miley said she has no problem mixing it up with other celebs like Zac.
 

"No, I'm pretty cool," she joked when asked if she ever gets star struck. "I'm pretty much the coolest person ever... no, I'm pretty cool. I'm pretty much the coolest person ever."

Today as I kicked back with my wheatgrass smoothie for lunch with my free paper, The Shepherd Express (a staple in Emibella's life), I stumbled upon David Luhrsson's review of New Moon.

In general I avoid reviews for anything Twilight related. As someone who studied Literary criticism and enjoys reading about film with a critical eye, I have found that all too often can start to view my guilty pleasures with a narrower lens than need be.

So I cautiously read Mr. Luhrsson's review waiting for the inevitable to find that he did indeed LIKE the movie and I am so glad that I did because it opened up so many themes that popular critics and casual viewers often forget about.

He wrote the following:

"But he [Cullen] demurs, not wanting to take her on a step from which she can never turn back. Romance is the dream of love, compounded by eroticism that can never find release. Becoming a vampire is, as marriage once was, a bond for eternity. And in our essentially unromantic society, the message is clear: there is something to be learned, and gained, from delayed gratification."

I ask you:

Can you justify Bella's desire to die for Edward (either by her admission that she would give her life for Edwards, or by becoming a vampire) against her fear of commitment and marriage?

She says in the books that it is because of her age and her parents. But isn't dying or becoming a vampire much worse?

Do you think this was just a literary device used by Stephenie Meyer or do you think this was really a message she was sending out about the devaluing of marriage as a bond for eternity?

If you are closer to Bella's age than to say, Stephenie Meyer's, is this how YOU feel about marriage?

Is this delayed gratification that the author of this review speaks of the underlying message, then?

GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON COMMITMENT, MARRIAGE, FAMILY, EROTIC RELEASE and HOW IT RELATES TO THE SAGA IN THE BOOKS OR IN THE MOVIES and YOUR LIFE.

It's up on Twilighted.  (This is the lemon one-shot I wrote, which made me concerned that I could somehow land in trouble at work for writing adult fanfic, even if it's on my own time.)

http://twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=9151

It's called "The Handbook for Vampires," and it's funny and sexy. 

I figured I'd link to it because many of you wrote so much great advice and other information on your personal experiences.  You can read what I was stressing over. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

FOR MY STORY- I NEED TO KNOW THE POLICE PROCEDURES FOR ENTERING A HOUSE WHICH CONTAINS A SERIAL KILLER ALONG WITH THREE INNOCENT CIVILIANS. WOULD THEY COME IN WITH GUNS BLAZING, OR WILL THEY SNEAK IN, OR WHAT?

FOR WRITERS- WHAT IS THE CRAZIEST SHIT YOU'VE HAD TO RESEARCH FOR YOUR STORY???

FOR READERS- WHAT IS THE CRAZIEST FACTOID YOU'VE LEARNED FROM FANFIC??

I KNOW THAT IN "IF LOVE COULD LIGHT A CANDLE", I LEARNED A HELLA LOT ABOUT OLD TIME SLANG. I TOOK NOTES DURING THE CHAPTER, AND THEN I USED THEM WITH ALL MY FRIENDS.  THEY THOUGHT IT WAS COPACETIC AS SH*T.

SORRY FOR THE CAPS

AHHHH HELP ME

The house used as the Cullen's mansion in the movies is for sale. Read about it and see pictures by clicking the above link.

(okay, first: WOW there have been a TON of campfires started today. I MEAN A TON. I haven't been around so if this has been talked about-sorry. But I sifted through the forest and couldn't find it and it's too big to not post)

PASTICHE PEN HAS PUT UP

CHAPTER SIX OF PRICE OF PERMANENCE

Title Summary: Edward Cullen is marrying the perfect woman - except that she's not his version of perfect. How does he catch the woman who is? EPOV Companion to Sin & Incivility. Mature. All-human. 

 Seriously? I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A NICE LONG WEEKEND AHEAD OF THEM AND SHOULD KICK BACK AND READ SOME FIC.

And after you are done reading, visit Pastiche Pen's cabin and tell her what you think!

A Few Minutes Ago I was craving a creamy snack,
so I went down to the pantry and started looking for a creamy snack like pudding.
Which is what I found. Who else remembers those Jell-o Instant Pudding boxes?

So, I made that and just enjoyed it. But it got me thinking;
In Twilight, Bella does alot of cooking. And in my mind I always link cooking with baking.
So, I was wondering;
What was your favourite snack or dessert as a child?
What is it now?
And am I the only one who remembers the Instant Pudding?
*Hopes its not a canadian thing*

Here's Some Rob For Dessert! :P

 I just found this and thought I should share:

oh, and this, the perfect birth control solution:  

I really want that Count Chocula costume from Yesterday.

 I think me finding comedic articles/blogs about Twilight might be a weekly thing.

The Blogess: Inappropriate thoughts that haunt me about Twilight:

1. Why the hell am I reading the Twilight series? 

2. The Twilight vampires are so strong that they can inadvertently knock someone’s head off if they aren’t paying attention because humans are as softer than butter compared them. So wouldn’t having sex with Bella be like fucking a wishing well? 

3. No, really. Why am I reading these? I’m 35, for God’s sake. This is more embarrassing than that summer I had all those weird sex dreams about Dumbledore. 

4. Wait, I mean Snape. Not Dumbledore. No one has sex dreams about Dumbledore. That would be disgusting. 

5. Okay, fine. It was a three-way with Snape and Dumbledore. Ron Weasley was watching for some reason. That part was weird. 

6. So in Twilight, all the bodily fluids of the vampires are poisonous. Their spit is venomous and their eyes juice is so acidic that it dissolves contact lenses, yet their semen is perfectly harmless. Um…what? 

7. Edward’s entire body is made to be super violently fast and all inhumanly strong. So when he had unprotected sex with Bella, why didn’t his super-semen shoot through her body like a bullet out the back of her skull? 

8. Remember when Edward kept telling Bella that he couldn’t plow her because it was “just too dangerous” and she just wouldn’t lay off? I wonder if he ever just said “IT’S BECAUSE I WOULD BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF WITH MY SEMEN, BELLA! GOD! YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE SMART ONE. I’M JUST TRYING TO BE DELICATE HERE.” 

9. If you’re going to die anyway, I bet death by vampire ejaculation is a good way to go. 

10. Unless the vampire suffered from premature ejaculation. That would be a shitty way to go. Especially if you didn’t even get it all the way in and he just accidentally shot off your leg with his semen. That would totally suck. 

11. I bet the reason why the Cullen’s sit alone at lunch is because they don’t want to get too close to all those girls on their periods. 

12. Wait, did Bella just never have a period, ever? How did she get pregnant then? Why wasn’t shit this covered in the books? 

14. I bet it sucked when Bella was pregnant and living at the Cullen’s house because when you’re pregnant you get super gassy and every time she farted everyone in the entire house would know it instantly no matter where they were because they all have that super-amazing sense of smell and hearing. Except Alice can tell the future so she probably knew it was coming and had some kind of codeword to use so everyone could stop breathing for awhile. Probably, something like “Bella’s about to fart, you guys”. Alice isn’t very subtle. 

15. If I was Bella I’d never be able to use the bathroom at the vampire house. They all know what you’re doing in there, Bella. 

16. You know what would suck? If you were the human girlfriend of a vampire and you wanted to have oral sex but the dental dam dissolved because of his caustic mouth venom and then you got infected with vampire venom. In the vagina. That would be like Chlamydia times a billion, probably. 

17. I wonder if I’m the only person who’s ever wondered this stuff? My guess is “yes”.

I think we should tell her about fanfiction.
