Have you seen this?

Okay chicas, some of us have finished it, and some of us *cough cough yanxxx cough cough* should be finishing it soon, so let's talk about it! 

Get on in here and talk about the latest book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series with me! Expect Spoilers if you come in here :)

Do you think this book was better than Unleashed?

Did you like the Band of Bastards?

Did you miss all the Lessers, like, really what role do they even have now?

How did you feel about No'One?

How about the fact that Qhuinn and Blay's book is next?!?! Or about that super crazy twist in their story that happened this book?

How do you feel about the fact that the author has 10 more books planned? Are you a Cellie for life or have you finally decided to seek parole?

AND get in here and give me ideas of who YOU think should play these characters. Like for example I see my dearly loved Viggo as Xcor, who do YOU see as one of the characters?

Entertainment Weekly did me a favor and collected a few of the funniest lines of this great novel. Share your favorites if you have any. I'll never pick this book up (or the fanfic) but hey one-liners are good for laughs.

whoops got the day wrong and thought it was FFA! here's a rec if I need one:

 Brighter » by Rochelle Allison 
NEW FICTIONISTA WORKSHOP WITFITS: APRIL 2012 - JUNE 2012
Twilight - Fiction Rated: M - English - General/Romance - Chapters: 4 - Words: 8,003 - Reviews: 397 - Updated: 4-5-12 - Published: 4-2-12 - - Edward/Bella

ETA: actual excerpts taken from the book so SPOILER

It's another update!

It's the not-so-long-awaited EPOV.

Get in here and discuss this. Or read first, discuss later.

Either way, this is what this campfire is for. Talk about all the feels you have.

Or, y'know, use gifs if you can't find the words.

Okay, so tomorrow is FreeForAll but I'll be on my way to Chapel Hill to see Alabama Shakes (weep your envious hearts) and won't be able to bring up Jack White's new album. I know I've got some equally rabid fangirls out there so I wanted to share this. To make this interactive give me some music based stories or music that reminds you of a good storyline. Myself, I've always wanted a FF based on The Black Keys song, Sinister Kid. I've actually written the beginning of a beginning chapter myself. I have the ultimate respect for ALL writers, that stuff is hard to do. Below is my rec. TxBirdie is a wonderful writer, has a playlist for her storyline and if you read the previous campfire about big breasted Bellas this one is a mother of two and a body to prove it. Updates are slow but the story is so worth it. And after trying to write myself, I have no problems waiting.

Ok- I have to go to the dentist and physical with my 11 year old.

I would like to know that I have something to look FW to when I get home other than laundry...

My friend and I do this thing ever since Twilight where we decide if a hot guy is Edward hot or not. Just fun girl stuff..

"Yep. He is an Edward." If I tell her that someone is Edward hot, she knows then that he is off the charts.

SO... Rob aside-which is a perfect Edward to me...

Fill up my campfire with men that fit your idea of Edwardness.

It can be celebrities or models. They do not have to fit the physical description of the book exactly, but try to come close if this is possible.

other Cullen men welcome. :0)

Below is William Levy- A Cuban actor/model- He even has the eyes!!

In pretty much every fanfiction I read, Bella has either no boobs or a perfect handfull. At first I thought it was just because Kstew has a real nice ironing board, but then I noticed that a lot of stories really rhapsodize about how perfect Bella's tiny perky tits are, and how gross big jugglies are.

As a large-titted woman, I call discrimination! There is a ton of fic hate toward fake boobies-- which those Denali whores inevitably have. When Jessica Stanley is a minor character, her only defining trait is her melons and her bad personality... is this on purpose? The only time SM mentions Bella's breast size is in an outtake in her website, so that detail is really up to the authors. The only fic I can think of in which Bella has a hell of a rack is UoEM... which was written by a man.

Please rec me a fic in which Bella is just plain unapologetically stacked!*** Or explain to me why big breasted women are so villanized in Twilight fanfiction! Give my your favorite breast euphemisms! Or just post pictures of your knockers!

If there are any men lurking around here, this campfire is for you!

***(Nothing against chubby Bellas, but weight is not what I am going for here. I think it's interesting that many of the fics in the Curvaceous and Bodacious contest centered around Bellas with weight anxiety rather than the "bombshell" part--most of the "bombshells" were Rosalies.)

Rec: 

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet. Includes a hot girl with big boobs that do not defy gravity.

Though Hayley Atwell's defy God and Country.

There have been a lot of amnesia campfires this week so I figure this weekly help desk is just in time!

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 and how it works?

In addition to this, ask about ANYTHING YOU WANT! Ask about party snacks! Ask about frothy things! Ask about knock-knock jokes!

THIS IS YOUR CAMPFIRE FOR ANSWERS!

Ask away! Many people like to answer!

Better late then never.

So, what are some suggestions of things I should try to make?

Do you guys have any favorite recipes or treats you want to share or you love to eat?

Or do you guys want any recipes?

(Trying to find good recipes is feeling like my own personal hunger games lol)

((sorry this isnt a post about twilight or hunger games…just wanted to spread this wealth of yummies))

purple edit: next time, please ask for permission from one of the rangers. i'm only allowing this because it looks delicious. find me a recipe for cookie butter and all will be forgiven.

 My First Campfire in honor of the Series Finale of the greatest television show ever (imo), One Tree Hill! A Two-Hour Event starting in less than 2 hours, EST!    I can't wait!

First let's reminisce with the Series Premiere Promo: (http://youtu.be/7zjKBrkvhuA)

Now go cry over the Finale Promo: (http://www.cwtv.com/shows/one-tree-hill)

So I came across this article on LJ today that has an author stating that adults should read adult books.

Basically no Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, etc for those of us over 18.

A friend of mine said she hates Rowlings writing style so it would make her happy if they just abolished the YA genre all together.

So what are your thoughts, Forest? Should it be okay to read a YA book, as long as you include other reading in your book diet? Or should we just get rid of YA all together?

(My thoughts are inside.)

I'm not a writer but I'm just wondering about it.

I'm coming across a lot of stuffs like,  'If the writer begs for review, I won't review it'', 'I don't read WIPs. I will wait till it gets completed and then I'll read on my kindle' , 'OMG. Did you see her grammar? I wonder why don't she just use beta?'' 'It's not easy to put a review, okay? I'm using iPad or I read when I'm at my work okay?

Give me a break. I hate it when I read stuffs like these.

We readers owe these writers A LOT I think?

What do you writers think when you come across stuffs like this?

So sorry this is late... AGAIN... but here you go!

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!

So, my students are knee-deep in the annual English-Language-Arts Fair at school right now, which is the much less popular version of the Science Fair with books and poems instead of stinky chemicals, explosions, and physics.

One of the elements to this is that the students will dress as a character from the book they are presenting.

I am super intrigued by this.

I can picture them dressing as a Cullen:

Or as a character from The Hunger Games:

And then I wondered what I would do if I were participating, and I thought... "Could I come up with a Jane Eyre costume?"

What do you think? What book would you present? Show me your ON-SOM-BLAY (ensemble).

After hours of waiting and after the poor authors reposted, still the two updates I got today cannot be seen. If I click there is a message Chapter not found. Please check to see you are not using an outdated url.

They are Ch. 25 of story, Full Circle, by JenRar and Ch. 14 of Crimson Edward by Mrs Cope

Is this happening to others too? I have written to ff net, because it is happening very often. I tried to go to the authors profile but there on the summaries the number of chapters posted is respectively 24 and 13. Grr.

My rec, of couse will be of those stories, that I like a lot.

Full Circle

Summary: Edward left Bella in New Moon to keep her safe. Not all monsters are
immortal, and fate usually gets its way, no matter how hard you fight it.
Rated M for language, lemons, and adult situations.

Crimson Edward

Summary: At last, Edward has his Bella. Why, then, is he experiencing bouts of
high anxiety and seeing red? Rated M for lemons, this AU story follows the
canon pairings with some unexpected twists from Edward's point of view. Sequel
to Blue Edward.

Hello Im looking for a fic I read a bit of last year I just know its a bella/edward pairing except bella is a widow and emmet is her son and he damaged Edwards property I think and has to work for edward to pay for the damages. Edward has a brother who'se wife is beautiful and I think she has lavender eyes and the brother might be in the military or live on an army base. If this rings any bells please post. I'm off work sick today and this story has just been  nagging at me for awhile.
