When I discovered that Dyedinwool had removed Lust on a Deathbed, her unfinished Miss my Lion and her whole account, I was really, really upset. I think that if you are going to publish your fic mainstream it makes sense and it’s acceptable (particularly if you finished it first), but this is a vamp story so rooted in Canon that it would be difficult to publish it. So, why? I looked on her (almost empty too) Livejournal and it made me think that religion has something to do with it (I may be wrong), but I just don’t see any contradiction with posting Twilight fanfiction and being a believer. Of course, content has something to do with it, but in this case there was nothing objectionable.

So the first question is: why would you pull a story, thus disappointing your readers, who might have reviewed, recced and pimped it? What demon moves you?

Now I was so lucky to get a copy of Lust on a Deathbed from a nice camper here and therefore I come to my second point, thus making this campfire interactive:

Would you share the best pulled stories you have copy of with other campers? If you have them in PDF or Epub please make a short list (between 5 and 10) of your faves and let’s share them. Ah, please be particularly nice and add a short summary and – of course - if they are AU/Supernatural or AH).

My list is posted inside.

(Free for all hasn’t been officially declared (?!?), but since this is all about sharing fics, I suppose my post is OK.)
 

Welcome back!

Come on in and share your losses, gains and anything else!

I'm too exhausted to think of a challenge, so pop your ideas inside.

OK so it's no secret that I'd marry Grabadietcoke if we were 

A) on the same coast

B) not already married to some fabulous men

BUT she is my soulmate, regardless, and she is busy busy busy with real life crap that's all good. There's nothing for anyone to worry about.

She is, however, unfortunately unable to really participate in the fandom lately, and I think she needs a pick me up!

SO that being said, let's throw her some fandom love. PICS, GOSSIP, STUPID THINGS, things she might be missing.

She needs them right now! 

Show her anything to make her smile, as she makes me smile everyday.

Whatever you got, as I know we all love her. 

Hey Forest! 

I've been MIA lately and I've missed being around.  

I'll save you all the boring details, but I've been up to my ears in work.  I've also been dealing with some big stuff regarding my middle son.  

He's almost 5.  He's been in a preschool program all year for children with all kinds of special needs.  He started attending for a noticable speech delay and lisp.  He's been making big strides with his speech - we've noticed great results already.  

To make a long story kinda short - his teacher asked to have an Occupational Therapist come in and do a motor assessment on him.  This seemed like a great idea as he's always had a hard time sitting still (he fidgets and wiggles), and too short of an attention span for a lot of concentrated fine motor work (like coloring - he has no patience for it, but will do things like manipulate playdough).

He "failed" the test.  Miserably.  

I have an appointment scheduled with our family doctor, and will be following up with the OT.  His teachers have been working with him on yoga and other activities that provide practice of "quality" movements (balancing, moving carefully and slowly). 

The thing that has me most concerned was the mention of the possibility of ADHD or other neurological problems.  It's all been really overwhelming.  

I normally wouldn't bring this stuff here, but I know there's some knowledgable ladies around that have discussed learning disabilities in the past here(moms, teachers, etc etc.). Any campers have any experiences with this stuff that they're willing to share?  I would love to hear from you. 

xoxo

My son, Jon the amazing, is moving out of our house...or at least he's looking at houses with a realtor, already having been approved for a loan of a certain amout.  It's been a long time since I bought a home and I was wondering if those of you who have been through it recently could shed some light:

1.  What is a short sale and what are the problems associated with it.  I've heard they are more difficult to navigate than regular sales.

2. What are the pitfalls of buying a foreclosed home?

3. What if you've been approved for a loan of  x to xxx amount by a mortgage broker.  How much does one have to struggle if your buying price was closer to xxx than to the lower amount?

4.  Jon has a bedroom set and that's it.  What furniture/equipment is necessary and where can he get good value for his buck in buying such?

Thanks.

Moms have to be informed, don't ya know.

Hey Campers --

Do you have time to send a quick postcard or note to a sick kid? Full story inside. :)

ETA: Thanks to everyone who responded. Apparently the internet works wonders and the family has been quite innundated with mail, so I won't be sending the address to anyone who replies after crashed jewel. However, please let me say that I appreciate each and every one of you who has responded and please, do feel free to send something if you've got her address already. The Forest is such a lovely place!

Okay, I don't know about you, but while I am reading or watching movies, I sometimes think to myself, 'that guy's a Slytherin', or 'she would make a great Hufflepuff'.

I am might be crazy.

So let's have a little fun and sort some of our favorite fictional characters into one of the four Houses. Support your decision. Feel free to agree or disagree.

Mine will be inside.

It's going to be a long weekend for some of you in the Northeast. Have some fun before Nemo hits.

BTW, WTF Weather Channel? Nemo?

Nemo is this

Not this not even remotely cute mass of clouds

So let's say that, hypothetically, you live in the Northeast US states and are about to get pummeled by a massive blizzard.

Assuming that you have everything you need- family is safe, basic foodstuffs, electricity, and heat- what is the one thing you want or need to help you cope?

Be creative or be realistic

Show me or tell me

I'm posting the watchalong tonight because Bexi asked me to.  And also she pays me in Damon.  ;-)

COME IN HERE TO DISCUSS TONIGHT'S EPISODE "INTO THE WILD!!!"  WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT?  WILL THEY FIND THE CURE?  WILL KLAUS ESCAPE AND FOIL ALL THEIR PLANS? 

Shirtless Damon, fmt and because there hasn't been enough of this lately

And a little Elijah because I miss him

AS PER USUAL THERE WILL BE SPOILERS! 

Hi :)

So me and my friend just started a book club :D it's a very casual, online, once a month-ish thing, but I'd love it if other's fancy joining :)

(image is a link to the blog)

Even if you don't post anything, there'll be book reviews and things :)

Anyway, to make this interactive, is anyone else part of a book club? Even something as small as this :)

Here's a rec (in case I need one), which I think I found on here actually, but it's so good. She writes all of her characters so well, and thinks of things that I'd never even imagined. Very, very good.

In the Blink of an Eye by thatwritr 
New Moon AU. Bella went cliff diving but it didn't turn out well. She broke her back. A decade later, Edward reappears in her life on the same night she loses her best friend and husband to a freak accident. She's not thrilled to see him. Eventual E/B

'Want to play  a game' (in War Games Robot Voice)

I realized this morning that I'm 3 degrees from ROB! My brother worked on The Time Machine with Guy Pearce.

Cherry Jr met Peter Facinelli (and got his autograph) at the Twilight Event they held at PetCo Park a few years back. It was prior to Eclipse coming out + they ran Twilight + New Moon back to back

Are YOU any degrees from any of the cast?

Rangers: If this isn't interactive enough, let me know, tx

I had to post this. I'm laughing so hard.

I'm sorry for the film maker but I see Mike Newton transformed into a vampire and this is the banner a girl did for her fanfic. Like Mike Newton, The Van Helsing of Forks.

I don't know about you guys but this morning I wanted to have news about the cast of Twilight, so I checked Twilightish and I found a beautiful picture of BooBoo Stewart and one of Billy Burke. Come and see them inside.

It's Thursday (well, kind of)!

And that means it's time for Fan Fic Flash Fic!

WEEK 2.

Head over, check out the prompt, and get writing!

Rec for your time:

Why not read what this week's judge -- Veruca Darling -- is writing?

All That We Are: Three generations of women under one roof, each going through life the best they know how. Change and love and loss and learning. Told through each of their POVs. AH, Romance, Drama, Family, Angst. M for language and adult content. Bella/Edward, Renee/Phil, Marie.

FilmNation announced that "Hold Onto Me" has gone into pre-production.

I hope this means that this movie will definitely get made, because it sounds

like a great fanfic  like it has potential!

Which of Rob's upcoming movies has you the most excited?  What do you think of this pairing?  Personally, I love Carey Mulligan and I think there is some potential for great chemistry here.  And Rob as a heartbroken, vengeful criminal?  Swoon!! 

Once a week, unless I fail, we open up the HELP DESK so people can ask questions, make requests and get advice. There have been LOADS of people starting campfires looking for fics lately so I expect this to be packed with amnesiacs and lost souls.

If you have amnesia about a fic, this is the place to ask about it!

If you have a request for a type of story or a book, this is your spot.

If you are unsure about something that has to do with ADF, ask here.

And, for the upcoming holiday, If you want to know the best way to tell the boy you are crushing on that you love him, we may be able to help!

If you have requests, questions or amnesia about any other areas in your life we like to answer those as well. I don't care if you want to know about trimming your puppy's nails. If it is bothering you, here is the place to ask. We won't judge.

This is your campfire. Ask away! Many people like to answer!

WELCOME TO HELP DESK WEDNESDAY!

Hey, girls, it's my first campfire so be nice to me, please. I'm a little shy and don't know what to write.

I'm trying to find a fic with no success, so I thought you could give me a hand... it's a story of Bella pretending to be a boy to land a spot on Edward's boy band. He falls for her thinking she is a he (Billy) and soon he finds out the true, but the couple continues to hide her true identity from the rest of the band.

It´s a sweet story... Does someone remember the name or the author?

Any links woud be great, thanks.
