UK Twilight Fans Get An

Unusual Thank You

Some of the biggest Twilight fans were invited to London. They were told to sit on a bench where they would receive a thank you for their on going support of The Twilight Saga. The world of Twilight was unleashed upon them . . .

(Was that supposed to be a "Thank you" or a "*&^% you?")

So fellow campers, would this have made you happy?

 (I apologize if this has already been posted here, it's the first I've seen it).

Wouldn't they rather have had the Edward Cullen Barbie?

Or Nude Bondage Neck-Brace Edward?

Other "more better" gifts inside.

Welcome to the Monday Morning Hot Guy Campfire. What better way to start your week than a hot guy?

Every Monday, I'm going to dedicate a CF to the Hot Guy of the Week. The catch? The CF can ONLY be about the current nominated guy.

We all have different tastes in men, so please don't yuck anyone's yum. If you have a man you'd like to see crowned for the week, PM or hit me up on twitter (@ffcherry) with his name.

I'm not sure how many of you have been tracking the Stubenville Rape trials but they've held my interest for quite a while.  I was very interested to see how this would play out knowing how the town initially treated the case.

Little history if you need it, a girl went out, got way to drunk and key members of the football team proceed to rape her, take her from house to house where she was continuously assaulted and video taped it.  Put it on social media, bragged about it etc and in the meantime every single other person stood by and did absolutely nothing.  They were the football stars in a town that had little less to be excited about.

Disgusting.

Well, this weekend they were found guilty and CNN went on air talking about these "poor boys" and what this would do to their "futures" and how now they'd be "forced to register as sexual predators" etc etc etc.  The achors specifically were Candy Crowley, Poppy Harlow, Paul Callan

Beyond disgusted... outraged...

This being a community of women (mostly) I think it's time that we as a group had a serious talk about "slut shaming", "victim blaming" and just the absolute negativity that is thrown on us as a group, why do we allow it?  What can we do to change it?  Why do we participate it in?  

BTW, I highly encourage you to go and leave a nasty comment on CNN's Facebook page or anywhere else you think they will get the message that this IS NOT OKAY.

Not sure if I need a rec because there are appropriate tags and it's interactive but I'm going to put one anyway: (goes to look in inbox for recent updates...."

Caged: Summary: This is not made for TV. This is the raw, brutal underground of no-holds-barred combat. Inside the cage there is nothing but me and the pain I inflict on those who dare enter. In the cage, I never had to worry about anyone but myself. When she started standing outside of it, everything changed. I was no longer fighting for the money or the glory – I had to fight for her.

Do you write fan fiction?

Any plans?  Celebrations?  

Cheers to our irish campers and everyone else who likes to join in the festivities - POST IRISH THINGS HERE.

Hello, 

I am beyond excited to find out today that Hydraulic Level 5 will be release this Fall. It might be old news but I wanted to share since I think ADF have a few campers that are big fans of this story, too. Check out the status update...www.sarahlatchaw.com. I realize P2P is a very sensitive topic but in my opinion, HL5 is very well written with a great plot and strong character developments. I can't wait to get an actual hardcover book for this story....and rediscover the story with the reworks.

"While it hasn't been confirmed by Watson, her agent, or the movie studio, the infamous hacker collective known as Anonymous has some pretty solid proof that the star will take on the role of Anastasia Steele in the upcoming Fifty Shades Of Grey movie". Article here

ETA: She denied it

Thankfully, I'm not in the HP fandom or else I'd be pressed. Not that I'm all rainbows and sunshine today. As some may have heard, in Cyprus we woke up this morning only to find out that while we were sleeping EU and our new president hammered/stole a great deal of our deposits. Even the deposits of those of us who have a huge morgage, but still saved money just to be on the 'safe side'. Apparently it's the first time something like this has happened

ETA: Since EW said she won't be cast and this cf ended up being more about the banksters in Cyprus, good article on why it affects people wide:

This crazy Cyprus deal could screw up a lot more than Cyprus

Thank you, Beccad86, for helping me out this week!

I'm guessing many of you saw this video, of a monster trying to kidnap a seven year old girl at Walmart (she fought him off)

Ok, this is quite funny and pretty darn cute.

The set-up: three very young, very enthusiastic Twihard girls are absolutely thrilled because they think they're on a TV Twilight saga trivia show to compete for tickets to the red carpet premiere of BD: Part 2.

The twist: just when they're about to begin the game, they find out that they won't be competing at all; that it will be their Dads who are going to have to answer all the trivia questions about Twilight and compete for them.

The looks of horror and fear on the Dads' faces - and the looks on their daughters' faces as well - are priceless... and the ending is actually really sweet.

BUT LET'S HAVE A CANDY POST.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE CANDY?

Welcome back!

Or welcome for the first time, if you're new!

Come and share your gains, losses and victories!

(I can't think of a challenge right now, so let's just have a catch up inside ;) )

I just had a funny Twi-Fan run-in. 

I went to Qdoba for lunch, and as the older lady at the register was ringing up my order the girl next to her was telling her what I got.  At the lunch rush, it is complete chaos so it was loud and noisy.  The lady at register asked me what I got, and her friend said, "I just told you what she ordered!"  All flustered, the register lady said, "I feel like Edward." (I'm wondering who Edward is.) She continues "You know, when he and Bella are at that restaurant.  I'm hearing everything right now!"   I was chuckling as I left.

Tell me about your random and odd Twi-fan run-ins!

I came across these yesterday on Youtube. Never seen anything like it before, but I laughed and laughed and laughed. I thought these might make a good CF topic for a few laughs we might all need every so often. 

[Guy with a pedo mustache, LOLOLOL]
