Hi All,

Thanks for all your support and kind works re:  Twilight Fan Fic List.  I've decided to continue with the blog / database and have made some improvements to the search tools.  You can now search by 4 primary fields with 6 secondary filters.  Let me know if you have any problems as I am still tweaking things.  I've added a Genre column which I will populate later this evening.  You can now search by number of days since the last update.

To search for one-shots query Chapter equals 1 (along with your other search criteria) and then when those results come up select the secondary filter of Complete.

I will add a recommendation later today as I haven't had time to read anything the last few days. :)

In my search for the latest Twilight Graphic Novel, I came across this little nugget:
 

"A small town... a plucky heroine, a shiny vampire, and a hunky Native American rival with a secret. But all is not as it seems in Lake Woebegotten.

Let Harrison Geillor reveal what lies beneath the seemingly placid surface. You'll Laugh. We promise. When Bonnie Grayduck relocates from sunny Santa Cruz, California to the small town of Lake Woebegotten, Minnesota to live with her estranged father, chief of the local two-man police department, she thinks she's leaving her troubles behind. But she soon becomes fascinated by another student -- the brooding, beautiful Edwin Scullen, whose reclusive family hides a terrible secret. (Psst: they're actually vampires. But they're the kind who don't eat people, so it's okay).

Once Bonnie realizes what her new lover really is, she isn't afraid. Instead, she sees potential. Because while Bonnie seems to her friends and family to be an ordinary, slightly clumsy, easily-distracted girl, she's really manipulative, calculating, power hungry, and not above committing murder to get her way-- or even just to amuse herself. This is a love story about monsters... but the vampire isn't the monster."
 

I am rolling on the floor laughing, spitting out my tea, and waking the neighbors with my cackles, just from the description. If anyone has read this, I would love to know what you thought of the book, if it's funny for all or just those who don't like Twilight.

• What are some of your favorite parodies?
• How about your favorite descriptions, cover work, or titles?

Once a week we open up the HELP DESK so people can ask questions, make requests and get advice.

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.

If you need someone to explain the UV index to you, (someone might know, I am not sure) you can ask!

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

You can ask about anything here, not just questions about fanfic. ALL questions are fair game!

WELCOME TO HELP DESK WEDNESDAY!

Not to replace the normal Self Pimp...

I want you to sell your fic.
 

Tantalize us, intrigue us, make us want to read-read-read!

But I want you to do it JUST using your WRITING.

Rules (pls to follow these):

1. NO BANNERS or graphics

2. Pick ONLY ONE fic to promote. It can be a WIP or Complete.

3. Gimme a 250-WORD MAX snippet to knock readers' socks off

4. Keep the frills (colors, huge fonts, bold, etc) down to a reasonable level

5. You may also include whatever summary you use on ffn (or wherever you post).

6. Include a linksie.

If you aren't a writer... sell us someone else's fic! But you must follow the same rules!

I just came across a link to a story in a completely unrelated article.

Christian Grey’s Face Revealed by Forensic Technology

Some professor of psychology has made a composite police sketch of the infamous Mr. Grey based off of several different women's descriptions of what he looks like. This is the description: 

The resulting picture is a mash-up up Patrick Dempsey's dreamy eyes, Brad Pitt's rugged jawline, and David Beckham's classic face shape, among other features. "While we don't want to intrude on anyone's fantasies," Skelton said in a statement, "This is the image of Christian Grey they have in their heads when reading the novels."

Here is the picture:

What do you think:

1) of the picture?

2) that they even attempted this - for Fifty? for any fictional character in general?

3) are you suprised it doesn't resemble Edward (Rob)?

Rec: This is one of my fave One Shots that I wished  would have been continued into a full length stories...or at the very least a few more chapters. I LOVE this Edward. (If anyone knows any tractor driving Edwards on par with this I"d love a rec!)

The Rocket Man by BellaMadonna

When the family farm is threatened, Edward leaves his job at NASA to aid his sick Grandfather. Bella is a reporter sent to do a story on the crisis faced by the Cullens. Hilarity ensues & sparks fly when Flaky-ella meets FarmerWard. Humor/Romance/AH B/E
Twilight - Fiction Rated: M - English - Romance/Humor - Chapters: 1 - Words: 9,202 - Reviews: 34 - Updated: 4-26-10 - Published: 4-26-10 - - Edward/Bella

You'll have to excuse me for the Armitage tag. When I saw I missed him at ComicCon this year I was utterly heartbroken. I've had to watch North and South a couple of times to compensate. Incidentally, he's also become the picture I have in my head for one of my characters in my novel. So I'm going to stretch it and say it applies ;)

ADF request campfire

hey, why don't you feed a tree before you read this?

now, use this post to request stuff. if you can help out with someone's request, feel free to do so (privately). fanfics, gifs, tutorials, whatever.

alternately, if you have something and wish to share, let it be known.

remember, we don't post links to downloads here on ADF. 

but- i can't stop you from taking care of business via PM, tweets, or whatever. :)

just please do not post a link to anything on ADF, capiche?

if you don't get what i'm talking about, come inside this campfire and i'll try to be more plain.

me at comiccon last week fyt:

It was announced today that Sony has penned a deal with Diana Gabaldon to adapt the Outlander book series into a series for the small screen.  This has been rumored for years, but it appears to be moving closer to reality now.

I am elated and terrified at the same time.

Casting this well will be HUGE.  I'm not sure anyone can do justice to our beloved JAMMF.

And so help me God, if they stray as far from the books as HBO did with True Blood ...

I'm also a little more than frightened by the fact that they got a sci-fi guy to take the helm on this project.  THEY DO REALIZE THAT AT ITS HEART, THIS IS A LOVE STORY, DON'T THEY? 

So, what do you think fellow Jamie fans?  Are you:

or are you

Hello campers ! I know there are some helpful ladies who can give you great advice..I seriously need some insurance and lawyer advice (in America)..details inside.

This CF is approved by amazing Wtvoc( love you ! ) 

Hi All,

Recently Fanfiction.net made some great changes to their search options.  Since many of my blog readers at Twilight Fan Fic List are members here at A Different Forest I wanted to let you know that I am considering discontinuing my blog because of the changes at Fanfiction.net.  Please let me know your thoughts by commenting on my blog post.  Thanks!

ETA:  Clarified blog post

ETA:  Update Post http://twilightfanficlist.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-search-options-coming-soon.html (Testers Needed)

I am reading this Twilight Horror/Romance story at the moment called Haunted, by author Cestlaviesuckers. Has anyone else read it?

I've really been enjoying it and have been finding myself getting fired up over the questionable things that this Edward does! It is very entertaining and I recommend it, I think if you like reading Twi fanfics, you'll enjoy it- so if you think you will, do check it out and leave the author some appreciation. :-)

 This Edward is a little dark and jealous, too.

Summary:

When Bella accepts a ride home from Edward Masen one rainy afternoon, she feels an instant attraction to him. A crush. But as they start dating, Bella soon learns he has a deadly dark side to him, one where he won't let her go, and will push aside all boundaries to be with her. What is he hiding? Obsessed Edward. Lemons. Inspired by the movie Fear.

AvengeRanger Edit:

To comply with the rules...

Share which DARK AND/OR JEALOUS EDWARD FICS ARE YOUR FAVORITE.

Hey Y'All!

I just moved to Boston, far away from where I was before, and because I have been lonely a lot more than before I am looking for something to read to fill my time. Specifically something of the Hermione with Draco variety. 

ALSO... So I haven't seen one of these before. But are there campers out there of the SERVICE INDUSTRY?

Aside from sharing your Draco Hermione stories, can I hear your worst customer service stories? 
Whether serving like me, or just selling things.... what are your worst serving moments?

Thank you for the DxH fill up, I wish you all the best. I'd missed your guys. 

Rec: . All There Is 
George disappears after the war. Hermione is sent on a quest to find him and help him heal.

Suddenly I am worrying that because I have been out drinking tonight and have not posted in almost a year I might be breaking the rules. I don't think I am, but if so, I am sorry Rangers!

PS. I used to be an active camper but have been merely lurking for a year so thank you so much for chatting with me, it means so much! And if there is there anything you wanna chat about at all I am here for you. Especially if it's boy problems, I have THEM up the wazoo. 

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!

Happy, happy Monday campers!

How was your weekend?

Come on inside and give us a peek

at what you've been working on :D

~Don't forget to include the link to your fic~

HAPPY MONDAY, CAMPERS!! 

LOL JK

I MISS YOU GUYS AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE LOOP, SO COME SAY HEY TO ME AND TELL ME WHAT I'VE MISSED...

He wants to be POPULAR so persuades the popular girl to be his GIRLFRIEND.

She needs to make a good impression on her boss or family and hires him to be her FIANCÉ.

Or maybe it's all arranged by a third party. 

In any event, their relationship begins as plastic as, well, Barbie® and Ken®.

I received a request for the MASTER FIC LIST to create a list for FAKE RELATIONSHIPS.  Now, I know the stories are out there somewhere...have you read any really good ones? 

Care to share?

They might be AH or AU. Canon or not, any pairing, any rating.

So long as they're keepin' it fake. :)

Remember the rules of the Campfire:

1.  Keep it simple. Title, Author, Summary, Link.

2. No discussions. This is a list, not ComicCon. ;-)

ETA:  LadyinRed13 and Lippert1000 are killing me over here. :)
