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.

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

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.

OK so I woke up this morning remembering her opening scene....Edward picking up Bella for school, her drinking hot chocolate...blah, blah.  Weird, huh.  Anyway, does anyone of have a copy of this very old (by FF standards) story?   Please PM me....I would be so grateful.

Did she ever publish?

Hi Campers :) 

I need some help :) I'm writing my thesis (yayyyyy!), the subject is Shakespearean's movies of Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles and Kenneth Branagh.

The problem is that I found a lot of material on Olivier and Welles but not so much on Branagh....

I'll try to be more specific. In the first part I talk about the differences between cinema and theatre, then there's a chapter about all of the shakespearean movies that have been made and the opinions of scholars on this subject. The last part focuses on the three directors and the analisis of their Shakespearean movies. As I said before, on Sir Laurence and Welles I found lots of articles and books that will help me in my analisis but not so much on my dear Kenneth..

I only have a book on Hamlet's screenplay and film diary, I need some materials on the other movies and on his career :)

There's some movie geek like me who can help me?

Thank you soooo much!!!

I know it's FFA and I don't have to post a rec but I'd like to reciprocate so here's one of my favorites, it's old but really good (I just re-read it)

THANKS TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HELPED, YOU'RE GREAT!

Let me preface this by saying I love Edward.

But...

I sort of have a thing for Jake. I love him. He's so sweet and I want to read a story of him and Bella for a change. Something sort of steamy would be good.  Can you help a girl out?

Fic Rec: Just a lovely highschool fic I'm crushing on: You and Me by Thimbles. LOVE this

Here's the deal.  My brother-in-law moved in with us August of 2008.  We had gone home (NY) the same time so he house-sat for us.  While we were home we shipped his stuff to our house.  

Well, he moved around Nov/Dec of 2008 and we paid his ticket because he screwed up on his flight to NY.  After he left, we started getting slammed with calls about his student loan (which my husband co-signed for after I told him not to but his mother strong armed him about it).  This ruined hubby's credit and trust me, this made us mad and it ruined what relationship we had with him.

It has been several years where he never asked for anything.  We found out that he and his wife (with a baby) are moving here because she can't separate from her parents...

He made a comment where he'd come here and collect some of "his" movies.  From what I understand, possession is 9/10th of the law; therefore, I shouldn't have to give anything back to him, right?  I don't that we should have to.

Also, we were told that we won't have to worry about being asked for money for his loans. I was recently told this isn't true and that they can come and take money straight from his check if his brother isn't paying them...can they???

TY in advance.

News just in from TMZ:

Liberty Ross has filed for divorce from her cheating hubby Rupert Sanders ... TMZ has learned.

Ross just filed her paperwork in L.A. County Superior Court. She's asking for joint custody of their 2 children -- ages 5 and 7.

Ross, who is repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser, is also asking for spousal support, as well as attorney's fees.

Sanders, who is repped by Lance Spiegel, also filed his response to the divorce petition. He's also requesting joint custody. He is not asking for spousal support. As for attorney's fees, he wants to share the costs with Liberty.

Sanders famously cheated on Ross ... with Kristen Stewart, whom he was directing in "Snow White and the Huntsman."

As we first reported ... Ross and Sanders went to a shrink a number of times trying to work out their problems, but it was not meant to be.

Some people may wonder what took her so long, but it's obvious that they went into counselling hoping to salvage things but it was just not meant to be. I feel sorry fot he kids....5 and 7!

I guess KStew is technically a homewrecker now.

To make this interactive, do you think this news will further impact KStew's (flailing) career? Do you think that Liberty filed for divorce because of the pictures or did Rupert come clean about something more damaging during their counselling?

Yeah, I know that the Krisbians and Robstens will probably be up in arms over this post, but really, I don't care.

My recommendation:

The epilogue was recently posted on this well written and under reviewed fic

Never Bargained for You by SpringHale

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6193469/1/Never-Bargained-For-You

As Edward tries to change his past, Bella runs away from hers. When they meet the predictable sparks fly and a relationship struggles to be born. The road is rough and mostly uphill, but along the way they find what they never bargained for.

Happy Australia Day!

To make this interactive, tell me what you love about the land down under! (Rob being here at the moment doesn't count!)

Have you found any awesome at home exercises to share?

Doing this quickly before I go to sleep :) dont know if Kat097 planned to do it, but I figured I would to save her trouble seen as I remembered :)

Lookie lookie here comes nookie. And I thought the Mormon boys were hot when they peddled up my driveway. Yikes! I hope you gals in Australia appreciate the heat wave that he is causing down under. We're having an ice storm in NC thanks to the global shift in the atmosphere. Thanks.

Come share the hotness of boys on bikes and how they make the girls rockin world go round!

Hey everyone!!!

I got a kindle for Chritmas and it's been going great until I loaded some fanfic. I use calibre to convert my pdf fanfics into mobi. The stories look fine with the exception of some letters missing from words and broken sentences. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you!!:)

Last year around this time, someone had the brilliant idea to invite campers to post fanfic prompts in a CF and have other campers write little diddies around those prompts. Like, you know, a writing exercise. For fun. For the heck of it. For some ADF bonding time. For getting the creative juices flowing. For laughs. 

So, lettuce play that game again.

Pick a fandom. Post a prompt for a oneshot. A scene. A what if.  

Then let's see what our campers can come up with to answer that prompt. Reply directly to the prompt in this CF. 

Are you in? 

Here's an example of how it worked last year. This particular prompt came from Rainygirl1978. 

I would have linked to that old CF if I could find it... :(

I'M POSTING THIS EARLY TONIGHT.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT? 

WILL ELIJAH EVER COME BACK? (please say yes!)

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN HERE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN'T WATCH THE SHOW AT 8PM EST.

So, apparently this article among others is claiming that they're broken up again. There's buzz on Twitter too...

ok, I tried waiting for a helpdesk for the past couple days, and I scrolled all the way back to last week looking for one, alas- I cannot wait any longer. This is driving me nuts. Searched through the entire master fic list as well but no cigar.

Yes, this is another annoying "help me find this fic" fire.  If it makes you feel better, I'll never break up with any of you via post it note?  

So basically, Edward  was dating Jessica who died in the WTC on 9/11. He lives out in the woods and has an answering machine with jessica's last vmail for him on it.  Ring any bells?  I'm pretty sure Bella booked a hiking/camping tour with friends but they all bailed, and she still went, and Edward was the tourguide. but I could be combining fics. In the event that is the case, if you know either fic that would be splendid.   I feel like this story was pulled...I could have sworn I had favorited it and it disappeared...  also I feel like it was a one shot. or maybe a two-shot. ahem. anyways

I cannot tell you how much I love this story.  I normally read stories strictly for the E/B romance/sex and am not as interested in the character development and backstory- this is not the case with this.  Chapters regularly make me cry. I just love it so much. That being said, it's 23 chapters in and E/B haven't kissed, let alone..er.. banged, so if that's all you're interested in.... you should still read this you perv!! lol srsly though. it's amazing.
