Day One...

You will soon see a test run of our BIG AUGUST PHOTOJOURNAL CONTEST!

The test run is RANGERS ONLY and will go for ONE WEEK.

This will serve a few purposes.

1. It will allow us to work out the bugs in the Rules before we post them.
2. It will provide real examples for future contestants that might be more helpful than our explanations were.
3. It allows the Rangers to let off some steam and have some fun, since we never get to participate in the Forest Games.
 

WHAT YOU WILL SEE:

Participating Rangers will create daily campfires with a minimum of 5 photos each for five days.

The front page post will have a banner, and the photo content will be inside the campfire, where anyone is welcome to comment.

I have no idea if there is voting on this or anything yet... Ask EKSmith.

About the actual contest for Campers:

FULL RULES TO BE POSTED ON JULY 30.

CONTEST TO RUN FROM AUGUST 1 THROUGH LABOR DAY (SEPTEMBER 3)

CONTESTANTS MUST POST A MINIMUM OF 5 PHOTOS PER DAY.

IF ANY CONSECUTIVE DAY IS SKIPPED DURING THE CONTEST, THE CONTESTANT IS AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED.

CONTESTANT MAY NOT POST PHOTOS OF SELF, FAMILY, PETS.

THERE WILL BE THREE WINNERS WHO EACH RECEIVE A $100 GIFT CARD.

ONE WINNER IS CHOSEN BY CAMPERS.

TWO WINNERS ARE SELECTED BY RANGERS.

ALL WINNERS ARE ANNOUNCED ON SEPTEMBER 10.

We're sorry for the delay, AGAIN.  And we're getting our stuff together... probably. :) :)

And the Plot Thickens...

A cooking ground for writers

What we’re cookin’...

• Plot Bunnies! Ever have a plot bunny that needed some spice? Who said anything about too many cooks? The more the merrier, here! Bring your undercooked plots or ideas, and help others hash out their stories, too.

• Your Characters! Feel like your characters are just skin and bones? Come chat with your friends and see if they can help you create the perfect recipe for meaty greatness.

• Basically anything related to your fic that you need help with!

Allergies...

• We’re allergic to negativity! Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome, but please try to stay positive and productive!

• And pilfering, too! There will be plenty of story ideas being discussed, so please stay respectful to your fellow authors by not using another's idea as your own - unless given explicit permission by the author first and then giving due credit, of course. No eating off someone else’s plate unless they say you can!

Food Bank...

• Donations! Have some untouched plot ingredients that have been sitting in your cabinet for far too long? Come drop them off at our Food Bank and help another hungry author!

• Pick up! Need some ingredients for your writing? See what ideas have been left for a good home.

You’ve given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time.

So, come on in and share your ideas! Maybe someone will have that perfect plot point that pushes your story from good to great, and hopefully you’ll be able to do the same for a fellow author!

I'm going to Macon,GA this Saturday for the music festival, especially to see Dead Confederate. If any of you local girls in the TriState area are intererested in going or meeting up PM me.

To make this interactive and compliant to the rules I'd like to know of any "ontheroad" fanfics. Especially the girls, Bella alone or with a friend, out exploring and having a great time. No stories of murder and mayhem, I don't think that would help the my mood for this weekend's adventure.

My ontheroad reading suggestion:

Their trip to New York was great, especially the "Art show". Fanfics have a way with cookies.

Edward Cullen - to most, he's a boring book editor but he's really an elusive romance novelist with an erotic flair. When he's not writing porn, I mean romance, he's just a guy who's married to his high school sweetheart and father of three teens. Rated: M

So Campers....what do you think?

Hey hey hey!

It's me, subbing for Halawia.

Well, you know, substituting. Yes, that.

Fashionably late...

Here's the SNEAK PEEK of THE WEEK!

What're you writing?  ANY FIC IS WELCOME!

Twilight? Hunger Games? Supernatural? True Blood? CROSSOVERS??

Let us PEEK!

Bring it!

Share it!

Link it!

He exists, right? I mean, we all know Sanctuary, it's posted right here on this site.

However, my going-straight-to-hell-brain is currently jonesing for another dose of Priestward. Do any of y'all have suggestions or recommendations?

I'll just leave this here for your time. Thanks!

I just got done watching last nights episode, and my mind is reeling. I feel like maybe I'm just a bit confused. Am I the only one?

Come inside and chat about Ture Blood, what you think of it so far, and where you think it's going.

I'm sure there will be spoilers, so beware!

Well, he's done a video about 50 Shades of Grey, and I found it hilarious, so I thought I'd share :D

I hope this isn't breaking any rules, if it is feel free to delete it :)

Ranger Edit: Putting the video clip inside due to Not PG rated title that I can't get rid of.

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.

So come on in and see who won the crown this week!

**Tags Aren't Loading**

So Ranger Approved/Hotties

no cf on this? Is it because Kristen's clothes? Rob's scruff? Teens?

Loved the introduction though. And very cute montage from all four movies (mainly the first one. Ha). Starts at 2:20

Post pictures, review her clothes, express your desire to shave/lick his scruff etc.

R: - Gee, there's Nutella stuck in here? But didn't I have that like three days ago?

And November 21st 2008 really did change sth (a lot) in us, but did it really change the entertainment industry forever? I still can't find anything else to like

btw, can't add tag

Reviews are what make the world of fanfiction go 'round or come to a screeching halt.

They have the ability to incite or destroy a writer's creativity...

Share your best and worst--no names though, please.
This isn't about assembling a mob because someone didn't like your story.

Don't know if this is alright, but just to let you all know:

Hear no evil, by bluesea14 is likely to be pulled soon. Her reasons stated have been made clear in her profile.

In case your wondering, it's a twilght AU story with a deaf vamp Bella. It was mentioned in sri's I SHOULDN'T HAVE BUT I DID campfire and is frickin' AWESOME. I highly recommend it.

Here's the summary:

Hear No Evil Author: BlueSea14 PM
After over a hundred years alone, a deaf vampire Bella finds the Cullen family. With no memory of her human past, and no way to communicate with the world, how can they help her? Canon.

How do YOU feel about an author pulling their work? Especially if it's an awesome story? Not for P2P, but just because they've moved on? Have you PM'd them? And if so, what did you say and how did they respond, if they did?

Hi everyone =)
So, I have a question about a scene in New Moon. If this isn't the place to post this type of thing... I'm sorry! It's not even really significant to the book, but I have to know. On page 78...
"The doctor nooded, thoughtful, his fingers probing gently against the glands under my jaw. Charlie's face hardened."
Why was he feeling her neck? Why does this make Charlie mad? Is this a stupid question?

Ranger edit:

Discuss the BD II clips that were shown at CC here.  

Did you like 'em?  Not so much?

Just don't link them here - we can't have that.  Carry on! 

-EK

sorry. I really didn't know it was illegal to post links to them. Here's a link to a fantastic Rob tumblr 

Is there a 

FIC

that makes you 

IMMEDIATELY 

think of a 

SONG
? 

Or vice versa.

AUTHORS:

Was there a scene that you have written

that was directly inspired 

by a song?

I would like to know. 

What is *your* link, if any, between the music you listen to and what you write and / or read?

I find that certain songs have scenarios go through my mind, but I have trouble pulling the scenes into a coherent narrative. 

How do you make music part of the reading / writing experience?
