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

Special Assignment:

What story do you think could/should be adapted as a movie?

Would you wait in line to see it at the theater or would you wait for the dvd/download?

Who would star?

Would you have to wear a dark hat and sunglasses when going, you dirty dirty girl?

But, as always,

ANY recs are GOOD recs in the WEEKLY REC!

even though it is aDitL time I am going to sticky this for a few hours... be sure to read them all!

Edit: Interview Magazine has both Stewart and Theron on the cover. There is a great interview inside. The style of the photoshoot is ... interesting. My mind went to a  "vampire" photoshoot. What do you think about the concept?

ranger edit: thank you.

I (not so proudly) present

una giornata noiosa: a day in the life of a boring university student

I don't have cute kids, adorable pets or a hot boyfriend to show you... BUT I'll show you lots of food (I eat pretty much all day long). Here's a teaser:

you'll probably fall asleep before reaching the end

So i am one of the aprrox. 0.01% of the planet that has yet to see the Avengers. More to the point i haven't seen any of the origin movies (actually that's a lie i saw about 10 minutes of Thor and loved it but couldn't watch the whole thing at the time. #omgthorissohotwithhistightfineass. *Ahem*)

I want to change this shocking situation before i watch them assemble but i don't know where to start.

That's where you lovely fan guys/girls come in- is there a particular order i should watch them in? Whether it be an official order, you're personal preference &etc.

Thor and his biceps for your time.

i know, i know, it's an update cf, but Sherbs made me do it!

Chapter 14: Music

ETA: Author gave interview HERE

Today it's the birthday of... my (writing) partner in crime.

Happy Birthday, Camilla!

I began to write thanks to her encouragment and enthusiasm. She's always the best source to find good stories (she's read almost everything in this fandom). She's a strong, passionate woman. And she always teases me because I don't like lemons. So... here are some lemons.

Hugs!

Raum and your Vampward

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!

Hey there campers!!

Most of you know i'm quite boring a person, my day was equally boring don't worry....it was a lazy sunday which involved a movie in the morning which was pre-planned, and fic reading and lots of cuddling with my mom....

no that's not my dog, thats just a cute snuggle...the puppy is snuggling the thumb apparently....

so comeon in, and have a peek at a day in my life...

its not that interesting, consider yourself warned...

Rangers: i love tags, i don't know if i'm over tagging this post, please lemme know if i am, i'll remove them...i just tagged them according to my day activities...

This morning at 9 the earth trembled again in the Po valley, near Modena. (5.8 Richter). In Rome we have not felt it, but it was felt very well in Milan, where my son - at home with a cold - felt the wall he was leaning to "moving out". Fortunaltely his wife and child were not at home. Anyway this is nothing, while the areas near the epicentre, barely recuperating from the earthquake of May 22nd, are now affected even worse. There are victims, as many little factories went down. Two priests died in their church's collapse.

The worse aspect is that geologists are saying that there is a BIG rearranging between the Appennines and the Alps and it might continue.

I just wanted you to know that I am OK, if very worried, and Raum too, as where she lives and works is far from the epicentre. But she too might have felt it.

Sorry, I could not find a tag for this. Nor I think I should post a rec.

we hope all of our italian campers are okay.

Come spend a day at the beach with me, Hubs, the 13yo, and....

a giant statue of Finnick Odair!

So... hi guys. Long time no see. I kind of got absorbed by other fandoms, in particular by a blog I run with my friend. Haven't written fanfic in ages.

I always felt bad because I left my lengthy WIP without finishing it - 'If You Twist And Turn Away'. Anyway, it's kind of ironic, because yesterday I dug out the chapter I'd been writing and decided I'd go ahead and try and finish the beast off... and then today I got an email from fanfiction.net saying my story had been pulled as it didn't comply with guidelines and I'd been blocked from uploading new material. My story was rated M, but it sure wasn't a porno like so many of the fics on there are. Anyway I'm a little miffed because, well... bye bye all my reviews :(

I was just wondering how this happens? It seems so weird that someone came and took offense at my fic given that it's been up there for years and untouched for so long. And it's not exactly the highest profile fic, either. Over 26 chapters it only had 800 reviews or so. Anyway, I guess it could be the expletives in it?

Sigh. Jacob really shouldn't get so upset and resort to cursing.

EDIT - I didn't just get an email, my story is actually gone. And I've received no follow-up email telling me it was a mistake. Alas :(

EDIT - I emailed support@fanfiction.net and they put the story back up :)

“I’m excited about the last book coming out because it’s quite different,” Pattinson said.

“Even the posters. I just saw the posters the other day and . . . suddenly there’s a different look. Because all our posters have been exactly the same, until the last one. It’s crazy. I kind of like them.”

Breaking Dawn—Part 2 breaks new ground for the series, too.

“The movie is funny as well, which is weird.

“It’s strange. I guess the first one was quite body horror-y (and) creepy.

“This one is so odd, that it becomes kind of funny. Now that Bella’s not human, they’re just on Mars now. Everyone in it is a lunatic!”

Meh, i didn´t think the posters are that different from their previous efforts. Scummit´s still in desperate need of a good graphics designer. They could learn a thing or two from AG for instance

SOURCE

I was looking for an ´All Twi posters´ image and found this, made for poor husbands/bfs

Anyone catch the beginning of this new miniseries? It's a post-civil war drama based on a real family feud, and I think it is the History Channel's first forray into Drama.

Meet "Douchebag Jasper", who's actual character name I can't remember and is henceforth irrelevant:

The overabundance of guns tells me this is a promo picture for the new show, but the peacoat screams vampire.

No, but srsly guys, he is the physical embodiment of Civil War-sper. Such nice long legs!

In episode one, he falls in love-at-first-sight with Crystal Meth from True Blood, because they have the same Garnier Nutrisse haircolor (#91 Very Light Ash Blonde), and make their "fancy" clothes out of tablecloths.

She is the Juliet to his Romeo (feuding families, remember?):

Spoiler Alert Below, highlight to see:

They have sex pretty much immediately, and he proposes marriage even though he is a womanizer, because he is totally serious about this one. She gets pregnant. He gets shot by her brothers, then bones her cousin, Lydia Bennet:

The real question is, HOW DID BELLA AND TANYA SWAP BODIES?

You guys have to check this out. Im 95% certain it was originally a Twilight fanfiction.

REC: Yellow Rose, by IdealSkeptic.

AH/AU. Set in the US in 1865. Alice Brandon is alone when the Civil War comes to her. As a volunteer nurse, she helps heal many soldiers. One in particular, Major Jasper Hale, stands out. What does life have in mind for Alice & Jasper in the 1860s?

ETA: Perhaps this needs to be more interactive. What are your favorite Civil War fics? (could be featuring Edward as well.) Also, I have been meaning to ask for a while, does anyone have any Jasper/Alice recs? The one I posted above was my first forray into the ship, and I quite liked it because Alice was not some superficial shopoholic.

 I think she's the only Indonesian woman whose lucky enough can sit in front of Rob @ canes. Hiksss ... all Indonesian girls is super jelaous wit her at the moment. They still talking about her @ twitter.

What you will do if you are lucky enough can sit in front of Rob? Until now I still cant decide what will I do hihi... maybe I will just drooling over him or stare at him as long as I can.

My fanfic rec :

It was written law in Revolutionary France, "Should a man be convicted of a crime and sentenced to hang, he may be saved by a virtuous maiden who agrees to marry him." E/B, AU, AH

This is my family. It's the last family photo we've had taken - last year at my #2's Pre-school graduation.

LtR: My oldest - Daniel (He's only 8 but he's already trying to get away from me.), My youngest - Mark (That's his usal pose. I can't keep his finger out of his nose.), Me in the center (I look so happy to be there.), My #2 - Brodie (I had to hold him down too.), Then there's Mr. Kitten (He's apparently not really with us... He's even happier to be there than I am!)

I'm going to take you through my day - today -  even though it's not as typical since the kids were out of school. Come on in and see what I do all day!

Come inside to find out what my day

was like with my 

twin nephews:

and late night fun with my sisters.

Holy freaking crap, how is this not up yet?

I just watched Blackwater. Oh. My. God.

Tyrion is my favorite, so for me this was the best episode yet.

Please talk to me about it! So much to gush about, and so many questions! I would love to hear some speculation for the finale, and favorite moments from this episode as well! What storylines are you dying to see continue?

Spoilers for the episode inside... and lets say that book spoilers must be in white font, highlight to read...unless they are about book/show differences that have already occured.

ETA: Anyone want to play Kill/Marry/Fu--er... make love, Game of Thrones style?

I went to school for twenty-four years (yup, I counted twice to make sure) and went through training for three and a half years.  Then, a little over five years ago, both of my roommates convinced me to quit my job and Roomie No. Two became my boss.  Now I have two bosses--roomie number three is in charge while Roomie No. 2 is at school.

Come see what A Day in the LIfe is like for a pediatrician-cum-stay-at-home mom.

My roommate has taken up planking:

PS I hope to get all the pics up now as the boss is taking a nap....no promises in case she wakes up.
