When to off a character

Wednesday April 18, 2012 at 8:21 PM

So, when do you think character death is justified? Whether it be a main, supporting, or a minor character, what makes  it the difference between bitter sweet or just plain bitter?

Good Deeds

Wednesday April 18, 2012 at 7:00 PM

Yesterday at work, I did something nice for a kid. I'm a high school teacher. The short version of this story is that she turned in an assignment 2 hours past the deadline. Though I would have been following procedure to give her a zero on the assignment, I chose to grade her work, but dock 10% for being late.

Today, I am dealing with the fallout from choosing to be nice. I am feeling like "no good deed goes unpunished," as this student is complaining up a storm about my decision. I have referred her up the food chain at work. It took all of my professionalism not to ask her, "Do you want the zero? That can be arranged."

So... tell me this isn't true, that good deeds are, indeed, appreciated by recipients. Tell me something nice someone has done for you lately.

That Awkward Moment When You . . .

Wednesday April 18, 2012 at 6:46 PM

. . . reread your fic and notice all the fandom clichés you've ranted about in the past.

Oh, dear. I have Vampward tonguing Humanella without caution, Rosalie smacking Emmett upside the head three times in one chapter, the imfamous Alice shopping trips and makeover sessions . . .

This campfire is twofold: One, I want to know what irritates you when you read fanfiction. What quirky little cliché or faux pas do you see all over the place that drives you absolutely batty?

Two, name something you've hated in the past (or still hate) that you've put in your stories. We've all done it! Don't be shy!

And if you're only a reader, you can come vent your frustrations as well. Where are your hard limits? What makes you press that little red X before a story is complete?

 

PS, Is it just me or are there more tags today than their were yesterday? I could swear some of those are new...

HUMP DAY GAMES!!!

Wednesday April 18, 2012 at 3:45 PM

 That's right folks I have permission to conduct a Hump Day's CF! 

I miss it. You miss it. We all miss it! So let's play!

Here's the game:

Guess The Camper!

The rules are as follows:

Someone makes a comment and list all the things about any camper in the Forest but you have to end it with "Who am I?"

Then in return we try to guess who it is!

Let's see how well we know everyone in the Forest! We just had a 'get to know each other' Personal Ad CF so we should all be refreshed.

Now remember we are all friendly here so lets play nice!

Sookie is pregnant !

Wednesday April 18, 2012 at 2:40 PM

 

From Celebrity Baby Scoop: 

"A True Blood baby!

Congratulations are in order for Anna Paquin, 29, and Stephen Moyer, 42! The True Blood costars are expecting their first child together this fall, their reps confirmed to EW.

This will be Paquin’s first child, while Moyer is already dad to 12-year-old son Billy and 10-year-old daughter Lilac from previous relationships.

The couple were wed in 2010 after meeting on the set of True Blood‘s pilot season in 2007.

Paquin and Moyer will return to play Sookie and Bill when True Blood returns for its fifth season on HBO June 10."

So what do you think will happen for True Blood? Is Sookie gonna get magically pregnant? Are they gonna include in the next season or are they gonna ignore it and then send Sookie off to fairyland for Anna's maternity leave? 

I want Sookie & Eric to make pretty blond babies! 

What do you think will happen? 

And congratulations to Anna and Stephen by the way!

Epic flounces

Wednesday April 18, 2012 at 12:53 PM

We had a terrific and extremely funny conversation with some campers about epic flounces on Twitter today. It was decided that a campfire was needed and we could all go down memory lane and remember all the epic flounces that have happened in the fandom. 

So get in here and make us laugh-we want to relive all the drama and rants with you. Remind us of all the epic flounces you remember!

Looking for some pregnant fics <3

Wednesday April 18, 2012 at 11:27 AM

Hello everyone I'm looking for some fics involving pregnant Bella of any age and I'm open to anything :) 

And here's a rec! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6714205/47/

Yes, I Had One

Wednesday April 18, 2012 at 11:15 AM

A dream featuring a Twilight actor.

It's Kristen Stewart. The entire dream is in gray scale on a flat surface, like I'm watching it on HD TV, but in black and white.

b w

Weird.

She talks about how she lost her virginity to a sex toy (seriously, in my dream) while watching Duran Duran on a music video and how she is doing an interview with Oprah.

Oh, and she's acting onstage as an angel in a Broadway play.

Her time with Rob is discussed and she is very gooey about him.  But still, her snark shows through and she discusses how she wants him to shave. His legs.

 

Hey, it was just a dream.

 

I woke up disoriented and snorting. Truly. And it was time to get up to make my husband's lunch.

 

What odd dreams have YOU had recently? Dreams you do not normally have?

Any with Twi-actors?  

Spill!

Minor Character Fics

Wednesday April 18, 2012 at 8:26 AM

I was just having a discussion with a fellow camper about minor characters and the fics that are written about them.

As an author of 2 minor character fics, I'm curious as to what draws people to them, or on the other hand, what keeps them away.  I love E/B, but sometimes I find it fun to explore the possibilities with characters we don't know much about. 

What are your favorite minor character fics? 

Have you ever considered reading or writing a minor character fic? If not, what keeps you away from them? 

Who is your favorite minor character in the Saga?

Minor Character Fic Rec:

Like Winter, by Kyilliki (who also has many other minor character fics on her profile)

 

A story prompted by the question: Can you imagine Caius falling in love?

 

If you haven't tried a minor character fic, I encourage you to try one today! There are many on the Master Fic List to chose from!

Today's Weekly Campfire: The Rec

Tuesday April 17, 2012 at 6:55 PM

BEFORE WE HAVE OUR WEEKLY REC, THE RANGERS WOULD LIKE TO RE-ACQUAINT YOU (OR IF YOU ARE NEW, ACQUAINT YOU) WITH THIS CAMPFIRE:

ACQUAINTING YOURSELF WITH ADF AND THE RULES OF THE FOREST

Points to remember:

  • We are a SUPERNATURAL website. We allow anything supernatural at any time without ranger approval or rec. We also allow a handful of other topics that can be seen by viewing the TAGS in the search bar.
  • We have weekly campfires to help keep the forest tidy, these are Monday through Thursday. If you need a refresher on these, just ask me.
  • If you start a campfire, make it interactive and make it pretty. Include a rec ONLY if you are asking for something in return or if it is a special rec campfire.
  • Ask Permission of a ranger to post off topic campfires on weekdays.
  • Everything else should be covered in the linked post. If you would like to ask a question, you can do so when you rec a fic in this campfire. We love having you here, but are rules are just good manners and you are dining at our house. 
  • omg, this post is NOT aimed at any one camper. It is just a reminder that we have to post once in a while when the forest fires seem to be getting out of control. Don't be sensitive. I don't mean you.

Now on with the show:

Tell us what you are reading RIGHT NOW!

Books and Fanfiction alike

It can be supernatural or not, it can be a copy/paste of your reading list, it can be a flyer for the local supermarket. We don't care. 

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!

New Story by JenEsme!

Tuesday April 17, 2012 at 4:35 PM

My good friend JenEsme has finally taken it upon herself to post this gem of a story she's been working on for over a year.  It's entirely pre-written, and I have to say, as a married, thirty-something woman, this story REALLY spoke to me.  The difficulties that both Bella and Esme face in this story are ones I think many of us... especially those that are married with children, can relate to.  JenEsme posted her prologue last night, and she will begin posting the story tomorrow!  Check it out!

 

Summary:

What happens after the happily ever after? This is the story of two women, two generations, two marriages, both on the brink of breakdown. It follows Bella who is struggling with the throes of new parenthood, a new house, and a new attitude from her once-attentive husband who is now more focused on his job and his image than his wife, and Esme, who lived through much of the same 20 years ago. Can Esme's advice about commitment, communication, and (gulp) sex help Bella save her marriage, or will she be written off as a meddling mother-in-law?

POSITIVITY and reading fun

Tuesday April 17, 2012 at 3:38 PM

So, In light of all the P2P dramz, I wanted to do a POSITIVE post about a p2p that's getting some good reviews.

Sempre, formerly Emancipation Proclamation, is making its way to my ears, and the stuff I'm hearing is phenomenal.  I never read EP as a fic (mostly because the length scurred me), but I have heard the author did beaucoup rewrites to the original version, switched it to 3rd person, and the final product is Sempre.

On Amazon, it has 56 reviews. 50 of them of 5 star, 4 are 4 star & 2 are 2 star. The summary looks really great and interesting. While it's not 56 thousand reviews, they all look substantial and positive, even the ones that remark about the books origins.  So, I'm wondering if anyone has read it in THIS incarnation and is it worth my hard earned dollars and cents?

To make it interactive:

Have you read any of the p2p books? Did you like them better as fics in the Twi-verse, or do you think the book is better outside of the Twilight fic world? Which ones have you read were heavily re-worked? Which ones did you read AFTER they were pubbed? Did you love them?

My rec:

Crushed Seraphim, by Debra Anastasia
How does a foul-mouthed angel end up as the last hope for all of Heaven and Earth?

When Seraph Emma is maimed and tossed from Heaven by a rogue angel who's taken charge, she fears she'll never be allowed to return. Tasked with the impossible job of showing the self-loathing (and not even human!) Jason his worth, Emma is sure she's doomed to fail.

Meanwhile, having wormed his way into Heaven, the corrupt Everett has trapped God in Hell and has designs on unleashing evil everywhere. Fortunately, if there's one thing Emma can't do (in addition to minding her language), it's give up. Determined to save Jason and get back to Heaven-even if it means going to Hell-Emma's plan is simple yet impossible: trick the Devil to save God.

DISCLAIMER: I don't want this to be a post bashing P2P and its authors (and plz not to be discussing the you-know-what-book). In the interest of full disclosure, I'm generally not a fan of p2p but as the debate has gone on, I've softened a bit, especially after reading my above recomendation (Crushed Seraphim).  I have my stance on it, and my opinions are still there, but that doesn't change the fact that some of these works are quality, regardless of where they originated. 

So, come inside and share with me the p2p's you loved more AFTER they became books. =)

Stop Killing the Lemons!

Tuesday April 17, 2012 at 3:04 PM

So I was sitting here behind my lappy (that's how I not-so-fondly named my laptop), stalking Twitter minding my own business, when a friend of mine sends me this:

now, before you read, a warning: this is disgusting. seriously. I hope you aren't eating at the moment.

Rather than a verbal answer, he proceeded to show me by lifting me off the floor and sliding his happiness into me Cupping my breasts, he continued kissing. “Your tits are definitely mine and so is your stomach.” Frenching my belly button, he added, “And this is mine, too.” I started giggling as he slid down further. “This is my honeypot; mine. I make it get full of sweet juice that is just for me. Like now. It’s getting all wet and full of honey – just for me."

Didn't I tell you it would make you gag?

Now that we have that piece of crap fine work of art, I'd like to say that I have been writing and reading lemons for more than 10 years now. I know how a crappy one looks, feels, reads, and writes, and let me tell you -- this is a new low for me. 

I asked if this was a crackfic, but my friend (who's stuck with betaing this) told me that the author was completely serious. Next thing that came to mind was, "Is this a perverted version of a Winnie the Pooh fic?"

This is monstrosity example above shows pretty much how you should NEVER ever write a lemon.

Let's get one thing straight--in case anyone had doubts about this--women don't have honey flowing from their pussies. They don't. No matter how much sugar you feed your girl, or how many bees you swallow, no honey. Though I think you have bigger problems than your inability to write lemons if you start swallowing bees, but that's another matter...

Naughty Edward...

I'd like to leave you with a rec for something that will get you licking your lips like our sexy Rob up above, so here is a short story (two-shot) that is properly lemony and with a nice HEA: Forgotten Parties by EnchantedSailorBella:

Summary: Bella wakes up with her first ever hangover and a big hole in her memories. She can't remember much from what happened the night before. She rushes into class, and that's when things get a little...odd.

Here's a taste:

Biology, I reminded myself. I was learning about Biology, not Anatomy. Especially the Anatomy of the infuriating man sitting next to me. The one who's bold hand was now resting between my crossed legs. It was getting harder and harder to ignore the part of my brain that told me that I needed to open my legs and allow him access to the point where I was dying for him.

And yes, this one has a good lemon. More than one *smiles*. Leave her some love when you stop by.

Before we part, I am curious to hear what's the worst you've ever seen in a lemon? What's the worst lemon you've ever read? Don't be paranoid shy about brining quotes and links!

Alley Cat.

Vamp Books

Tuesday April 17, 2012 at 2:50 PM

I am thinking this campfire is ok because it is somewhat related. This CF is very okay! ADF welcomes anything supernatural, no permission required :-)  *ranger edit

What other vamp books/ series have you read?

 

Would you rec them?

 

 

 

Book Rec:  Not a vamp book, but it did have bloodsuckers...

Under a Never Sky by: Veronica Rossi

I really enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would.  This is mainly due to the fact that I loved the protagonist, and that rarely happens to me. I didn't like her at first, but she really develops into a strong woman by the end of the book.
