As always, the weekly help desk is your place to ask questions:

Did you forget the name of a fanfic?

Do you have a request for a special kind of fanfic?

Do you want to know what happened to an author or a story?

Do you have a question about ADF's rules and how it works?

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

Honestly, you can ask about anything here. It is most fun when we can help lots of people!

WELCOME TO HELP DESK WEDNESDAY!

I loved the pic in the campfire yesterday of Edward, Bella, and Renesmee.  

But what do we think about the album of pics on EW?

More pics inside... (Thanks to NeverSleep and hummingbird for figuring out my technical difficulties. :))

How about a little game, eh?

Today we're going to play

FIC TITLE METAMORPHOSIS

(or just re-title really...I just re-titled the old title)

Take a fic, and give it another title. It can be something where you use synonyms for the major words (this is tougher imo), or something where you just give another appropriate title.

Here is 2 Examples:

Title Metamorphosis #1:

Hurt Officer of Mine

Answer:

My Wounded Solidier 

Title Metamorphosis #2:

The La Perla Ripper

Answer:

The Office

Let's have some fun!

*ranger edit* Psssst! Tomorrow is the helpdesk campfire- that would be a great place to post this request!

I seem to have misplaced this and can't find it....It's a very intense story, and a vampire Edward.  If anyone happens to have a copy of this I'd really appreciate it!!

My attention lately has bee taken over with a wonderful story called:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7771737/1/bHigh_b_bFidelity_b!! Most amazing story!!  Thanks ahead for any/and all help!!

I don't know if anybody has already seen this pic but I just saw it and I really love it :) 

(And it totally made my day 'cuz I've been in a pissy mood)

So what do you think?

First, I'm sorry in advance.

Second, I never thought I'd be one to add one of these CFs, buuuuut . . .

EL James may rewrite 'Fifty Shades of Grey' from perspective of novels’ billionaire Christian Grey.

Hey, does anyone remember that one time a certain fandom author had to write an OS for charity and it was a seriously great, big thing for her to do, y'all, because she never wanted to write the EPOV?

Yeah, me either.

You know the drill. Discuss. Cry. Feed my reaction GIFs addiction. And holy Hannah, someone go create a "Christian's Inner Goddess" sock puppet account right this second.

No, I haven't been drinking ;)

Tell us what you are reading RIGHT NOW!

Books and Fanfiction alike

I have been reading so much lately that I need new stuff!! One week into my summer vacation and I am totally depleted. How is that possible? 

Please link if you are reading fanfiction or give us a nice summary if you are reading a book. We also LOVE reviews and discussing stories, so tell us what you think of what you are reading!

Special Assignment:

Give us a story that has a character that you didn't like at the beginning but grew to love. It can be a snarky Bella or a haughty Edward. It can be a character from a book that you used to hate but over time grew to love (omg, Jessica in the Twilight series. But that could be more because of the movies.)

But, as always,

ANY recs are GOOD recs in the WEEKLY REC!

Reminder: Tomorrow is the Help Desk. Why do I need to put this here? Just think about it. You'll figure it out ;)

I'm positive that I'm not the only one around the forest who is infatuated with this guy - 

Lately I've been trying to edge away from Bella/Edward to Emmett stories. I quite like the idea of Emmett/Bella but him and other people are fine too. I just want some Emmett Lovin' fics!

So have you read any Emmett fics?

If not then just post whatever non Edward/Bella stories you've enjoyed.

If not even that then just post some Emmett eye candy....!

Thanks x

FYT (even though I'm not anywhere NEAR a dog person, this is just too hot to keep to myself!) - 

Rec -    I was very surprised by this story! Don't judge a FF by its summary and all....

Hey Fellow Campers!

A group of lovely ladies recently organized a meetup in Las Vegas that was held this past weekend.

There were workshops, fic discussion groups, other fun stuff.

They have started to plan for a meetup next year and there's a poll to decide next year's location and date.

Here's a link to the poll http://t.co/0YyluQFK

They also have a website and twitter account @TwificMeetup

So to make this interactive:

Have you met any fandom friends in Real Life?

Where are some places you've traveled to for a Twilight Related Event?

Approved by the lovely Purple Ranger!

Stuck on plot point? Having a timeline issue with your story? Question about a character? Come talk to us about what you're writing and those nagging little problems that are preventing your awesome writing!

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 NEED HELP, OMG

Okay, so: I was given an amazon.com gift certificate. I live in Canada, and when I tried to buy something, and entered my code - it didn't work. I ended up clicking the "redeem now" button, and now the funds are stuck on amazon.com. The gift ceritificate was intended for a playpen. I went to buy one through the american site, AND THEY WON'T SHIP TO CANADA.

I called amazon, and they basically said that I have to unredeem the funds, get the person who purchased the gift certificate to begin with to call and get a refund, and then try again.

I know ADF sends amazon.com gift certificates ALL OVER THE WORLD. So, I'm baffled as to why Im having such a hard time with this.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

twi-mom!!!

Happy birthday sweetie!!!!!

Campers...come on in and wish twi-mom on her birthday...

Bring Chocolate Cake and Eye-candies if you want to...

This is for you darlin'

eye-candies inside....

P.S. her eye candies are brad pitt, rob and gerard butler (shirtless preferred)

So I completely forgot that True Blood started tonight.  What an excellent surprise to open my DVR and see that it recorded!

So....what did you think of the season opener?

Needless to say, there'll be spoilers inside :)  And super NSFW gifs, lol (it's the first gif, so just scroll real quickly if at work).  Campers beware.

Oh, dear Lord. I read (and watched) This Article, and I am so, so angry.

Now, I haven't actually seen Snow White and the Huntsman, yet, but I do know the story of Snow White and how she is supposed to be a pure spirit. Why, oh why, would anyone want to ruin that character by corrupting her through her rightful place on the throne. To destroy her character in such a way is to say that no person can be in a position of power an not succumb to temptation. What a load of crock!

How about you guys:

Have you ever seen/read a sequel that completely ruined the theme of the first installment, or heard of a sequel that you are glad didn't get made for that reason?

Side Note: Kudos to Kristen for standing up for Snow White. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but she does care about the characters she portrays.

Week three auditions! Get on in here and talk about the show? Your favorites? What you're looking forward to. Anything SYTYCD!!
