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

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]

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:

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!

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.

i was wondering could anyone send hands open and the outtakes featuring bella and edward from twilight as granny pants and fire crotch

I dreamed about RPatz the other night. I really did.

I have to say, sadly, that it wasn't one of those dreams. But it was still really nice!

In my dream, I was staying at some hotel somewhere, and I'd come to the dining room for breakfast. 

I sat at a table with a couple of guys I didn't know and got into a conversation. They were really amusing and we were laughing at each other when Rob joined in from another table, adding to the funny, and then he came and sat with us. He was relaxed, even though we all knew who he was.

And that's all. It was really nice, and I was smiling all the next day, remembering.

So.... it wasn't anything over a G rating.... (come on brain, you can do better than that!!)

But - have you had any interesting dreams lately?

Hey Campers!

Since it's still FFA, I thought i'd pop over here and maybe do a little gratuious pimping of a new little venture I have going on!

See inside for rambling of epic proportions.

(This gif has absolutely NOTHING to do with what's inside, I just wanted to use it because of Simon Amstell reasons)

My Rec: 'Operation: Break the Dawn' by katinki

An experimental weapon, one of the most lethal chemicals ever created, has been stolen. Its final destination is unknown, but there's no doubt the powerful faction behind the theft is intent on one thing: War. But they didn't count on a fight. A team of Marines, led by Capt. Edward Cullen and accompanied by Spec. Dr. Isabella Swan, isn't about to let the world go up in flames. AH.

For those of you who are looking for an awesome mystery fic, Horizon77's "Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost" just got updated!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5826201/1/Not-All-Those-Who-Wander-Are-Lost

Seriously, there's a dearth of good Charlie fics around, and this one's easily one of the best. I suppose we all kinda know what happened, but given that it is canon to Eclipse only, technically the events after the wedding can be REALLy different.

So go read! This story should be getting a lot more attention than it currently has.

btw, it is FFA weekend, right? if not...

Fic rec: see above.

Hey guys...

I am finding myself in an odd and very unexpected (and unwanted) position with a guy at work and I need a little help.

Please come inside and tell me your thoughts and give me some advice...or something.

I'm finding that I'm needing my girls a lot lately.  Let's have a girly advice post!

Hey there!

Hydraulic Level 5 had been on my to-be-read list for months. I had saved it before it was pulled... then, last week, I finally began to read it. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it.

But...

The last chapter I have is n. 38, "Life Vest," and I discovered that there are one chapter and an epilogue left.

So this is me right now:

PLEASE.

Would you send me the last chapter and the epilogue?

Thank you <3

A rec for you:

Dodge and Burn

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8222551/1/Dodge-and-Burn

He assumed Isabella Swan was eccentric, yet that very fact intrigued him. He hadn't dealt with a compelling person, sensible or colorful in quite a while. She just seemed ripe with possibilities to be anything but mundane

It's almost complete. Very good, excellent writing. The author is very, very kind.
