Driven to Desire – A Twilight Anonymous UST Challenge

UST or Unresolved Sexual tension – a social phenomenon that occurs when two people interact and one or both feel sexual desire, but the consummation is postponed or never happens.

So many obstacles can stand in the way of two people coming together (figuratively and literally) – maybe they are co-workers, best friends, from rival families, even teacher and student! – That’s what the judges want to read.

We challenge you to make us squirm, beg for relief, toss our computers out the window in frustration – build up the tension till we can’t take any more.

Make us wet...

As with the Tales From The Void Contest, we offered some awesome prizes, and Driven to Desire will not be an exception. We will soon be announcing some SEXY products  that will be awarded as well as original story banners and awards banners by SoapyMayhem, as well as features on various blog sites!

Entries will be accepted beginning April 13th through June 8th

Check us out!

Dusty update!

Come back and discuss once you've read!

XOXO

Come tell us what you're up to!

Let's discuss plots, characters, anything related to your fic.

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!

Reading Roll Call!

Tell us everything 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!

The last few weeks I have limited the campers to specific types of fics so now is the time to just let loose and give us your reading list.

Over the past few years there have been many dramatic readings presented on youtube of our beloved twific - some well-loved stories and others, that unfortunately for the author, did not display the best writing our fandom has to offer.

So, I was reading through some recent posts and came across one linking to a rather scathing review of Fifty. I'm not going to lie - I thoroughly enjoyed it.

In the comments under the review, someone linked to a youtube video that I will post inside:

A Dramatic Reading of Fifty Shades of Gray by The Cookie Monster

...and it's that scene that shall not be named. I had a good laugh and I hope it brings a few tears to the eyes of some of my fellow campers.

Recs - two of my all-time faves:

A topical recommendation:

On the Air » by izbels

Bella is a lawyer sent to supervise DJ EC, Seattle's favourite and least favorite shock jock. He is English, brash, a misogynist and absolutely atrocious. She can't stand him...Mmmm or can she?

The Vampire in the Basement by michellephants has been plagiarized by teamedward4life on Booksie. The thief goes as far to say that she thought up the story while changing the kitty litter. o.O

As of right now, the only way we know of to report her and the plagiarism is to email Booksie at contact@booksie.com. Please use the FFn link to the original story in your email to prove michellephants as the original author.

Are you a fic reading wimp? Is there a fic you'd love to start but you're scared and need someone to hold you and tell you if it's safe to go ahead?

This is the campfire for you!

Here's how we'll do this. Make a post asking about the fic in question. If you have any specific issues, go ahead and ask. Then those of you who've read can answer the wimps. ;)

VERY IMPORTANT RULES

Rule #1 - This is for completed fics ONLY.  Please no public spoiling of wips, it can mess up the flow of a wip, so yeah.  This is for the completed stories only.  

Rule #2 - POST SPOILERS IN WHITE FONT.  If your question about a fic contains anything spoilerish, white it out too.  Don't know how?  Type out your request/answer, highlight the text.  Then go up to the little button at the top of the text box that shows an "A" with a grid of colors.  Click on the button and select "White" at the bottom right.  

If you do not white out your spoilers, I will harass you.  ;)  Yep.  

Have you read the VERY IMPORTANT RULES?  Are you ready? Set? Go!

My first request will be in the comments.

'Twilight' director Chris Weitz to publish young adult trilogy

Chris Weitz, director, writer, and producer of films like The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Golden Compass, and About a Boy, will publish a post-apocalyptic young adult trilogy through Little, Brown, due spring 2014. The publisher notes that his work on film adaptations of young adult titles makes him especially plugged into the genre. Here’s a plot description of Weitz’s The Young World:

• The Young World is the gripping first installment of a trilogy set in the not-so-distant future in a post-apocalyptic New York City following the catastrophic destruction of the world as we know it. An unknown trauma has left every child and adult on earth dead, but, for unknown reasons, teenagers are spared. Anyone between the onset of puberty and the age of twenty-one are in a world with no authority figures. And while that world would normally be a teenager’s fantasy, this world has no heat, running water, television, video games, phones, or Internet. Teenagers are the heirs to a world brought back to the Stone Age, and now they must learn to master it in order to survive.

SOURCE

Despite the fact that I wasn't particularly crazy about New Moon (but hey, I didn't really care for the book or disappearing Edward), I got a good vibe from Chris.  The premise of his story sounds a bit ridiculous -- but also very intriguing.  YOUR THOUGHTS?

Hi All!  I just went to open my California Waiting .pdf by Teambella123 and the file was corrupted :(  Can someone email me a .pdf?  I would like to read the sequel to Closer. Thanks much!

Rec:  Just finished With the Lights Out by cherry.blossomz this weekend  and I loved it.  I loved the way it made me not hate reading about Bella/Carlisle, which is a tough feat. 

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6865875/1/With_The_Lights_Out

This pretty lady turns 22 years young today! Come inside, see the birthday videos her costars released and let's celebrate!

Tell me something you like about Kris. Share your favorite Kristen gif/pic/fanvid etc. Tell me what would you gift her if you were invited to her bday party. Generally just...rainbows and unicorns and lolipops and all these awesome things...just like her :)

Just found these book recs for Hunger Games fans on Huffington Post. All of them are dystopian novels with interesting plots, female protagonists, and romantic elements. I've never heard of any of them, but they look so awesome that I might finally take a break from fanfiction to read them! Pretty sure they are all YA novels as well.

Has anyone read these? Are they as good as they sound?

A spin off of elana86 CF...what was the first fanfic YOU fell in love with?  What got you hooked?

The very first stories I read were the series by LolaShoes.  Which blew my mind because, Edward and Bella having sex?  In detail?  I didn't think that was possible!  LOL

But the one that really hooked me was this one -

The Ties That Bind by NicoleTwilight
Edward's POV of Bella's pregnancy, burning and awakening in Breaking Dawn. Covers all the missing moments with Edward, Bella and the Cullens, and what they went through. See what happened after Bella ran into Rosalie's arms at the airport...
Twilight - Rated: T - English - Drama/Romance - Chapters: 30 - Words: 213,569 - Reviews: 1018 - Updated: 10-29-11 - Published: 5-7-09 - Bella  (This story IS completed even tho it's not marked as such)

This story was Bella's pregnacy in Edward's POV.  I swear, this is SM in disguise.  This author just nailed it.  It starts on the plane on the way back from the island and ends when they bring Nessie to the cottage for the first time.  I so wished she had continued on thru to the confrontation with the Volturri, but she didn't.  :(  But what she did give us was amazing. 

She didn't alter the story line one bit.  It was like she wrote with the book open next to her.  It filled in a lot of wonderings I had about the book.  It even made me despise Bella for a while to read Edward's torment thru the pregnancy.  LOL  That poor boy was in hell!

This story still remains my #1 favorite FF after 3 years.

What was The first story you loved?

===

My rec, I have 3, actually.  They are all by the same author and are all tied together.  They are a bit dark and twisted, but oh so good!

I found this on the web this morning and really liked it. A fan made it using pics from Berlin. He looks so gorgeous in this video-even sans hair and sporting a bit of scruff. Enjoy! (I really hope this hasn't already been posted and also that it is okay for me to share this with the campers. I've never posted a video cf before!)

Edit: To keep this interactive, why not share some other wonderful Rob videos? I don't care who he is or isn't paired with either-ship away if you wanna. Just as long as he is well represented!

Need a rec? Huh. Soooo many out there to chose from. What to do? Okay. Here's one flying under the radar that is completely wonderful. I love this chill and bohemian Edward and so will many of you!

Edit: Okay I think the grammar police would arrest me for the word "hid" but hiding wouldn't fit and I am too tired to come up with a better word.  So in lieu of perfect grammar... I give you a perfectly handsome man instead. Okey dokey?
