Sorry I know some people don't want to hear any more about this but I am so damn excited that I cannot stop myself.

Although movie critics have had to sign an embargo stopping them from publishing full length reviews for this movie, it hasn't stopped them and other people who have been lucky enough to see the film tweeting their initial thoughts.  Here is a snippet of just a few:

Also, The Hunger Games has been deemed to violent for a 12A rating in the UK.  That means that some of it has had to be cut.  I think this is probably a good thing, it means that the violence will be pushing what is acceptable for a 12A rating (just like the Dark Knight, I still have no idea how that got a 12A rating)

 So what do you think?

Do you think those review snippets mean anything?

Are you more or less excited by this?

Are you going to see it or miss it?

Also I was wondering about Fanfiction.  Do you think there is going to be a massive influx of Hunger Games Fanfiction?

Are any of you planning or thinking about writing some? Or have you written some already? (if so, please link!!)

Have you been reading Hunger Games fanfiction? and if so are there some hidden jems out there that we all need to know about?

(I have to go to the cinema now, but will be back later to chat...if anyone replies in this CF.)

Hello! Okay so this is my first campfire that I've ever started so yeah..its just about as awkward as I thought it would be.

I was wondering if anyone had any pregnant bella fic rec's they could send me? I have a friend who is obsessed with them and is looking for new ones to read. 

Thank you so much for the help :)

Fic Rec: The Only Exception

*thanks to maplestyle for helping me

I know that a lot of us here LOVE The Hunger Games... I am watching the red carpet show of the premiere right now via the mtv movie blog and they are showing some EXCELLENT interviews! 

I just thought I would share that you can watch it RIGHT HERE

Discuss what you see and what YOU hope to see on the screen when we finally get to see the movie! Yay!

Hey guys... has anyone out there heard of this contest?

http://ifelthopecontest.blogspot.com/p/rules.html

I entered in December, e-mailed a copy of my one shot but am afraid the thing was a scam.  I can't remember if the contest was rec'd here or on TwiFic Central but I sent the mods of the contest a PM after the winners were supposed to be announced this month and have heard...crickets.

Has this ever happened to anyone else, where you entered your story only to realize it was a hoax?  

Hopefully I'm mistaken about this but I have the sinking feeling I'm not.

Anyone got a fic recs that make you BAWL tell tell please 

Here's a rec http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7557706/1/What_I_Wished_For

Well YES, and NO. 

It's no secret that the E.L. James (f.k.a. Icy) trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey (f.k.a. MotU) is going to be re-edited and re-published by a division of Random House or that the author received a 7 figure sum for the privilege.  We've debated our feelings about Icy, the fic, the books, P2P et. al. nearly to death.  OK, not nearly to death. TO DEATH.  That's not what I will be talking about in this CF. 

I find it interesting that a lot of the criticism about the books mirrors the criticism initially leveled against Twilight -- (The rest inside the comments, share your thoughts if you feel like it.)

This is my first cf and i am not sure how to do it! If i am not doing this right, feel free to delete it.

So, i have been reading really agsty fics, and i'm looking for some B/E high school love, with some shyella or shyward, but i am not picky, if you have a good one you want to share, but they are not like that, just post it here =)

Please, no extremely long fics, a little agst can be included but i need the HEA.

My rec:

Royal Rebellions 

Bella Swan is no stranger to hard work, but everything changes when she is forced to work in Cullen Manor, the home of America's royal family. Her encounters with a certain prince cause her to wonder if the rules are worth following. MODERN DAY. AH, OOC

I'm sorry if this is not an appropriate campfire, if so, please delete.

This link is being passed around on twitter.

Apparently MANY fics have been translated and are also charging people for the downloads.

If these are any of yours, I thought you'd want to know.

ETA: This explanation of the site is now floatin' around. Again, something I came across via twitter. 

http://mssdare.livejournal.com/864.html

It's SPRING BREAK, y'all!

This means I am sitting in a reclining chair with two cups of coffee, a carton of Pall Malls, a bowl of cereal, a bag full of pills, two televisions, a box of vintage German pr0n, and some brownies.*

I'm all yours!

But please don't ask me where [insert name of lost fic here] is. I have no idea. I also don't care where it is. Stop losing things.

fyt:

jennifer, i am shocked, shocked. i thought you smoked marlboro reds!

  I'll smoke your purple face inna minnit.

*All statements may not be true

Have you read the update?  What did you think? 

Monday is my favorite day of the week.  Come enjoy it with me!

And bring shoes!  

For example, these Kate Spade sandals are what I'd love to wear if I could:

But what I would actually wear (because I'm a huge klutz and always falling over my own feet) is more like this Robert Clergerie pair I found on Zappos.

For the record?  The Clergerie cost about twice as much as the Spade and I can't afford either! ;-)

What about you? Bring your favorite shoes you DO wear or the shoes you wish you COULD wear and join us around the bondfire!

Okay, I don't know why I decided to post this, I just did. I'm a bit...feisty today so please forgive my horny school girl post.

With that said...

If you could bang any vampire (preferably with fangs because they're sexy) who would it be?

There's only one that matches this criteria for me and that's Lestat as played by Tom Cruise.

Damn he's sexy as hell!

The hubs and I are going to Comic Con here in Memphis in November, and I'm cosplaying as an Anne Rice vampire with those awesome double set fangs.

It's actually sad because I will totally go for a guy with those double set fangs, if they're the dental professional kind that attach perfectly to your teeth.

Since this has to be fandom related, let me also say that I'll jump on Edward Cullen if he's the not so traditional man in a lot of those AU stories that I love to read.

Actually, there is one other for me...

While I'm not a huge fan of the single set fangs...I could get over it for Eric Northman. Something about a viking vampire just gets me all hot and bothered.

So what about you? Male commenters are incouraged to post. I'd love to see some sexy female vamps posted here.

So what did you think? Who else do you think will die before the season ends?

The Walking Dead

Thank you to all that participated in the contest! ~ KeyeCullen

It's still free for all for me. And since it's sorta quiet around here. I thought I'd start another campfire!

We're watching some reruns of Jersey Shore and it got me thinking, what are you're top five "passes" to the "motherland"?

Let's assume you're single, at a bar (or wherever you'd choose to meet someone), and everything about the night is great, you're in a great mood and you meet a person that you're mildly attracted to, whatever your tastes/styles are, what are your top five things that'll push this person from "midly attracted to" to D.T.F. (Down To F*ck). You can only pick five!

AND, as an extra bonus.

Let's say they meet those top five, and you're so ready to go back to your/their place, what's the ONE deal breaker you have once you've reached that point of establishing that someone IS D.T.F.? You can only pick one!

It's not 6PM where I'm at, so I'm hoping it's still free for all. If it's not, then I'd like to point out that Spartacus did become the slayer of Theokoles in Blood and Sand, and thus became a god, thus making the show have an element of supernatural! 

See, something for everyone!!!

Get in here and talk Spartacus with me. I'm dying that there are only 3 episodes left this season. DYING. And the last one was amazing. We can share gifs and squeels and tears and ALL THESE FEELINGS!!!!

Hi everyone *waves*

I'm a long-time lurker, first time poster.

I was reading my local paper online this morning, and nearly choked when I saw this article :

There are so many factual inaccuracies in this story that it makes me mad!

Seriously - how can they just ignore the fact that it was originally a Twilight fanfic? Sloppy journalism? Or does it just not matter anymore?

This part in particular REALLY annoyed me:

Early last year Hayward noticed that E. L. James, a London television executive, was attracting ''a lot of readers'' with the erotic adventures, posted chapter by chapter, of a young student, Ana Steele, and ''dashing but damaged'' entrepreneur Christian Grey.

That's not true! They were called EDWARD and BELLA.

I'm not sure if I need a rec, but if I do, I'm going old-school with a beautiful fic by the wonderful, but sadly quiet, Oxymoronic - We were Nomads Bathed in Concrete
