So there's a questionnaire in the web that "gives" you a new citizenship based on your values.

Okay, so this only covers European (and some "affiliated") countries, but we have had so much fun at work when we have been comparing our results.

The questionnaire is based on a survey that is conducted every 9 years in Europe (since 1981) and they are about your attitude to society, work, fellow people, religion etc.

So, where would you feel like home, in Europe?

I was a bit surprised to find that I share most of my values with the Danish. :)

So, I've found someone to come with me to Milan and MUSE (she's actually a girl I met through the fandom!!! She writes Twific and I found out through Twitter that she's a neighbor of my brother's). Problem is, we'll arrive at Malpensa at midnight, as we made the mistake of going for a low-cost airline (Easyjet), which isn't so low cost as you'll spend the money you save on a hotel (again, arriving at midnight). So, can anyone help me with the following please?

-No public transportation between Malpensa airport and Milan after midnight, right? Taxis cost like 100 euros damn it. And even if we do find public transportation from the airport to the central station, how safe is it for two single women? And can you easily find a taxi at say 2-3 a.m to take you to the hotel? (see below)

-I'm thinking of staying at Ibis Milano Centro. Any opinions?

-On the 29, the blessed day of the concert (during which I REALLY REALLY HOPE i won't have a migraine) I think it would be better to stay at Turin, right? Does anyone know what time do the conerts finish? Suggestions on Turin hotels are also welcome

-Any recommendations on sightseeings that can't be missed? Esp. outlets!! I'll only spend like 2 days in Milan and one in Turin.

-How likely is it that Matthew will dump Kate Hudson for me?

-Their drummer is dating KatyPerry????????????????

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN. 

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT? 

COME ON IN AND DISCUSS YOUR THOUGHTS IN HERE, CAMPERS.

YOU KNOW THE DRILL. 

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS CAMPFIRE. SO IF YOU CAN'T WATCH IT AT 8PM EST, BE WARE!

Hi all,

Does anyone remember a very old fic where Bella is a waitress in a diner and has a witty sense of humor and Edward comes in a few times, he plays piana across the street, Esme doesn't like Bella because she's lower class and gets Bella to cater an event for her.  I don't remember much else.  I think Success was in the title but for the life of me I can't remember it, hope it's still kicking around.  Any links would be great!  Thanks.

Also , can someone rec a newer Carlisle/Bella fic.  I haven't seen any new ones lately.

Barefoot in Texas

______________________________

I canvassed interest about this on here a few weeks ago, and I think we're ready to roll write!

There is so much talent in this fandom, and we want to see it in action!

So let's do some ...

fan fic flash fic

Get over there, and check out the rules, and get ready to write me all sorts of pretty words.

BelieveItOrNot has picked a gorgeous prompt, and she's super excited about seeing what you all come up with! (So am I!)

Rec for your time ... I'm utterly besotted by this Edward.

Two Weeks: Based on 'One Week' by Barenaked Ladies. It's been one week since she looked at him, threw her arms in the air and said, "You're crazy." Edward is in trouble with his girlfriend and her parents. Will he learn to swallow his pride and overcome his fears? Will helping his sister through troubles of her own help Edward to face his? E/B, A/J This is their Much Ado About Nothing

This is the campfire of Self Promotion:

THE PIMP CAMPFIRE.

Tell us about what you or a friend write. If you beta something fantastic, let us know. If you are hosting a contest, tell us about it.

Don't be shy! Give us a link. Give us a sample. Show us your banner.

We want to read what you write!

I am so excited I can barely contain myself! Not only do we have Byzantium (starring Saoirse Ronan) coming out sometime this year but now we also have this to look forward to:

Tilda freaking Swinton as a vampire and Tom Hiddleston! They play vampires in love in Jim Jarmusch's (Ghost Dog, Broken Flowers, Dead Man) Only Lovers Left Alive. The film also stars Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt, and Anton Yelchin.

From IMDB:

Adam (Tom Hiddleston), an underground musician reunites with his lover for centuries (Tilda Swinton) after he becomes depressed and tired with the direction human society has taken. Their love is interrupted and tested by her wild and uncontrollable little sister (Mia Wasikowska).

I am so excited!!!

To make this interactive: What do you think? Like it? Don't like it? Are you looking forward to Byzantium? Are there any other vamp movies coming out this year? What movies are you super excited about? 

I am writing a scene in my current WIP, and I need some medical advice. Any nurses/doctors or heck, anyone that's had this issue themselves can probably help me. I need to know what the process is to set and cast a broken hand. Any info ya'll can give me, would be enormously appreciated! 

Thank you so Much!

For your viewing pleasure as my thanks:

In My effort to make it more interactive, Tell me about your mishaps- broken bones, crazy things that have happened, or whatever! :D

And my fic rec:

Accidentally in Love by: Missus T 
A personal ad for a fake fiancée leads to something they never expected. Two lonely souls discover that faking it might be the best thing that ever happened to them. ExB AH

EDIT: Ooops! Forgot the rules in my excitement!

In this fic, Edward is trying so hard to get over his hurt and redeem himself in Bells'a eyes. Which is your favourite Hurtward?

Thank you.

I had dessert for breakfast.  There is enough for everyone:

She's back :)

Re-post: Bella's only release comes in the form of distantly orbiting the life of Edward Cullen. As with any addiction, however, she's always left wanting more. "Mad is a term we use to describe a man who is obsessed with one idea and nothing else." [Ugo Betti]
Twilight - Rated: M - English - Romance/Angst - Chapters: 21 - Words: 68,266 - Reviews: 9 - Published: 1-28-13 - Bella & Edward

I love the snippet approach and the slow reveal.  What stuck in my head was the picture on Bella's appartment wall.  (Do you remember?)  What makes you remember a particular story?  The story?  Or a thing in the story?

I have leave this gently simmering, but I'll be back

The New Hunger is Isaac Marion's latest foray into the Wam Bodies universe. A prequesl of sorts, it is set seven years before Warm Bodies and features, R, Julie, Nora, and M. You can read more about it on his blog:

http://burningbuilding.blogspot.com/

I am so excited! Totally going to download this tonight and eat it up.

To make this interactive, what books do you wish had a prequel (or heck, sequel)? Would you guys read a Twilight prequel if SMeyer wrote one? Do you think prequels or sequels ever ruin books? Personally I think Anita Blake has just gone on way too long now.

Anyway, just come talk books and what you're excited to read!

Hello,

I am fairly new to this, this being my first campfire, so I hope I'm doing it right.
I was wondering if someone out there might have a copy of The Plan. I only read it when it was a WIP and would love to reread it. If so, could you please pm me.
Thanks a lot!

My recs are two new stories which I love:

Dancing in the Dark by jaxon22

"You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark. This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark." Immersed in a world of dance, drink, drugs, and women, Edward Cullen is the ultimate bachelor. Until he receives a late night phone call that changes everything. AH E/B

Fix you by chocaholic123

Two lives. Different worlds. The ripples from this twelve year collision course will last forever. ExB, AH, Rated M for a reason.

THANK YOU! GOT IT!
