So I sent my Mom, Breaking Dawn Pt1 for her birthday and when she called to say Thanks, she also told me she would be having  a Twilight Movie Marathon next weekend.

I shoulder this blame with my stepdaughter as B turned me onto the books (and my mom)The movies for her bday became a MUST after I learned mom liked the books.

Even though she' s a Jacob fan, I still love her.

So, who in your family have you turned on to the books or movies?

** I would have used the YourMom tag, but they won't load for me past the letter A**

Iwan Rheon cast in Game of Thrones
By Winter Is Coming on July 20, 2012
Filed Under: Casting, Rumors, Speculation

Misfits alum Iwan Rheon appears to have been cast in season three of Game of Thrones. A photo posted on Facebook of Iwan Rheon hanging out in a Belfast bar with some of the cast was the first clue. Ours is the Fury did some digging and turned up Rheon’s CV on his agency’s official site. The CV has him listed as being cast in the role of “Boy”. Given his age and looks, I am willing to bet that he will be playing Ramsay Snow, the bastard of Roose Bolton. The Bastard of Bolton was mentioned a few times last season, but never shown. He was sent by Robb Stark and Roose to reclaim Winterfell from Theon Greyjoy.

We have reached out to HBO for official confirmation as well as a possible clarification of the role of “Boy”.

Winter Is Coming: Assuming Rheon is our Ramsay, I am very excited about this casting. He was my favorite of the four we put forth for the role a while back. Either way, it seems certain Rheon has joined the cast, so, welcome Iwan!

ETA: to make this interactive, who do YOU think would make a good Ramsay? I may be biased but I'm pretty sure Iwan would own this role lol
 

all my feels will be inside

also, we need a welsh overlord tag

Tell me about your weekend plans!  They can be boring, exciting...I don't care!

For those of you who need something to do this weekend, ask for suggestions!

What am I doing?  Well, it's state fair time where I live.  Tomorrow I plan on seeing how much beer and saturated fats (HELLO CORNDOGS!) I can consume.  And tomorrow night at 8?  I have a hot date with these guys:

And Sunday I'm two-timing them with this hottie...

'''

Monday is for sleeping off hangovers chillaxing.

Here's some tunage to start your weekends off right!

So I've recently discovered the amazing series Sons of Anarchy, and I'm completely addicted to it. In that vein, can anyone recommend any good bikerward fics, where Edward is an outlaw with a heart of gold who wants Bella to be his "old lady"? I'll also accept any good badass, tatted-up Edward fics — and the angstier the better!

Here's one of my all-time favourite stories (sadly never officially completed, but it doesn't leave you completely hanging, either).

Bleeding Love by zgirl 21

Edward, Bella, and Jacob are childhood friends who are now college roommates. Edward, who only seems to care about one-night stands and his band, and Bella, studious and responsible, are always fighting...and Jacob? All-Human. E/B. Not for Jacob lovers.

YOU KNOW HOW SOMETIMES YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG BUT YOU STILL DO IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T CARE IF ITS WRONG...

I FEEL THE SAME RIGHT NOW...I KNOW I SHOULD'VE POSTED THIS ON A HELP DESK CF, BUT EH!!

I'M A LITTLE DRUNK RIGHT NOW, TRYING TO MAKE NO SPELLING MISTAKES (ADD DESPERATELY TO THAT)

"I WANT TO READ A STORY WITH A MUTE BELLA AND A MIND READING EDWARD"

IF NO ONE HAS READ SUCHA STORY, PLEASE WONDERFUL WRITERS IN OUR COMMUNITY, WRITE A STORY WITH THAT PLOT BUNNY...PLEASE!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL...

TO MAKE IT INTERACTIVE(I'M NOT DRUNK ENOUGH TO NOT FOLLOW RULES): TELL ME SOMETHING YOU KNEW YOU WERE DOING WRONG BUT YOU STILL DID IT ANYWAY....

FIC REC (BECAUSE I'M A DARLING AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN QUID PRO QUO): STOLEN SECRET'S AND SHATTERED DREAMS

ETA: okay so its the morning now, and god i'm so embarrased i can't believe i made a caps lock serious CF! *hides underneath a rock*

Hey Guys!

It's been almost two months since the last time I was here, you guys missed me right? probably didn't even notice I was gone but still ... LOL

So .. I've been reallllllly sick lately, like can't get out of the bed, can't walk on my own kind of sick ugh .. it feels stupid to be me, I'm telling you.

But ..

I just got some shocking-slash-great-slash-nice-slash-scary news that made me laugh like a crazy and cry at the same time I donno why ..

Still ..

I want some more laughs! I'm bored of being ill, I need a break!

So ..

MAKE ME LAUGH!

Aaaaaaand ..

Yeah ..

*sigh*

Show me some funny pics .. but not so funny 'cause I don't have much clean panties LOL .. no JK

Post some funny pics about twins, babies, fails, celebrities, anything Twilight .. I don't mind some Eye Candy too *wink*

Get In!

So, I was trolling through the cheap and free Kindle books last night and found this review that had me laughing so hard, I was crying.  Whoever this lady is, I say we should make her an honorary member/reviewer/whatever.

Okay, so I found her reviews when I saw a link to this story "Bared to You" by Sylvia Day, and since I rely heavily on reviews I clicked on it to see if was any good. One thing led to another, and I stumbled across the review for another of Day's stories called "What Happend in Vegas".  (I've included that one and another for a book called "The Best Man" inside)  The reviewers name is T. Smith "Weena" and she has written 16 reviews for different stories. I've since begun corresponding with her and have turned her on to the Twi-fic world via fanfic. I also invited her to pay a visit to the forest. She had never checked out the fanfic site before, and was blown away at this whole new slew of stories.

So, can you remember any reviews that either turned you on to a story (or chased you away)? Have you ever read any that were better than the story itself?

What is your favorite story (or 2, 3... 50 million? ;) featuring Non-Canon couples?

Jasper/Bella? Emmett/Bella? Alice/Edward? Emmett/Alice? Carlisle/Bella? Jacob/Alice? Embry/Bella? Leah/Charlie? Any pairings will work...

Don't forget to tell me why you like that story so much! :) I need some new material to read!

My recommendations for you:

LJSummers Mating Imperative Series: Feature Bella/Embry in The Hardest Part and some other original pairings... ;)

And The Lists by Shirleypositive72- Jasper/Bella-    Just write a list, Alice says, to know what to look for in your ideal   man. But I have two lists...

I could go on for a while, most likely, but.... I'd rather hear your suggestions!

Has anyone seen this yet?  Another shooting in Colorado.  It was at the Dark Knight Rises screening in Aurora, Colorado.

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/20/12850048-mass-chaos-as-12-shot-dead-at-dark-knight-rises-screening-in-aurora-colorado?lite

The report said that their were 50 injured and 12 killed.  They have a picture of the guy who shot them, James Holmes but I cant figure out how to post the picture.  He was a med student that had just dropped out. 

I am just incredibly sad about this and my thoughts are with the families.

FREE FOR ALL!

Just a reminder:  During FFA, your campfires do NOT have to be "on topic" and like that. 

BUT

Do make them INTERACTIVE so that the rest of us are invited to participate!

AND

Keep it CLEAN on the front page (i.e. the original post should be family-friendly)!

That means:

No Nekkid People and No Swears!

But inside the campfire? Get down and dirty if you've a mind to!

Topic for THIS Campfire:

What music do you think of when you think of the weekend?  For me, it's this song:

jandco highjacked re: pattinson in a backward hat: 

Sooo I'm Dancing around my house right now in pure excitement.. TMI The City Of Bones Now has their Jocelyn, Hodge and MAGNUS BANE The High Warlock of Brooklyn himself.. Check Them Out

Magnus Bane Being played by Godfrey Gao

Jocelyn Fray Being Played by Lena Heady

And our dear friend Hodge being played by Jared Harris

So what DO you guys think? The right choices? No where close? what about people not cast yet who do you want to see play those parts? I'll add mines inside later.

also i know i might get a little annoying with all this because i'm so excited about this movie being made but really i promise after they cast Valentine, Alec and Luke i will pipe it down

Ask away the spoilery details you've wanted to know about fics. But yeah, there are rules-

• Look in the banner, you'd see that this particular CF is open for WIP fics only. You cannot ask about COMPLETED fics here. (Worry not, there will be a Spoiler CF for completed fics the week after next, i.e., on 2nd August 2012.)
   
• You can not only ask questions, but start spoilery discussions here as well. Example- If a plot twist excites/annoys you, you can come out and talk about it. That way we can keep the spoilers in one CF only.
   
• White out the spoilery part of your post.
   

NOTE- This CF is a regular feature on ADF. It will be posted on every other Thursday, alternating between Completed fics and WIP fics. See the banner for which one it is and you'd be clear, like the current one is for WIP fics.

Now come out and ask away. I hope someone eases your curiosity.

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!
