I'm sure some of you have seen.. but just in case you haven’t Eternally Damned just updated.... the author put up the outtake for how Edward was changed.... I thought I would let the people that had read the story know, just in case you were interested....  :)

Eternally Damned » by twiXlite
Edward is THE ultimate vampire. The original. What happens when a visit to the Volturi causes him to pay the Cullens' a visit? Will he find them a threat to the world he's spent an eternity shaping or will he leave them be and let them live in peace?

to make this interactive... what did you think about the outtake... did you enjoy it or were you disappointed in how he was changed....

Warning - Spoliers inside
 

We're looking for fic writers who...are really kind of shy.

You know who they are. 

They have a cute story!  One-shots!  They may have entered contests!

But only Alice knows who they are.

So...take a few minutes and share some hidden fanficking gems. Authors who don't get a lot of press time. They have stories with very few reviews per chapter, you don't see them pimping their fics here, but they keep writing away for their handful of readers, good entertainers, all.

Maybe we can jump 'em and surprise them by reading their fic!

If you DO do this, please consider encouraging these authors!  

So....who's a hidden delight?

Let's show those authors who hit the complete button some major love!!!!!!

I was looking for a new story to read and came upon one that looked interesting. It had a great summary and I thought...AWESOME...something new to read. I saw the authors name was highlighted so I had read something of theirs before. I clicked on it and was majorly disappointed. This author had 20 stories under their profile..and the only ones that were finished were one shots. Going back a few years..none of the multichapter fics were ever finished.  The one I had been reading from this author before hadn't updated since Oct., and yet there were another 10 stories going on after it. I have seen many authors do this. These stories that were never finished all had very very high review counts .(don't worry..I checked...none of the last chapters were the end or an epi and they just forgot to hit complete...these were just abandoned) My favorite excuse I have seen is the ..."OMG I have been sooo busy with RL and just do not have the time...but read my one one shots I have just finished and the other kabillion stories I have recently started ...oh yeah...my story is up for an award so don't forget to go to blah blah and vote for me."  It's disheartening to see authors that are highly lauded for their prolific writing when they haven't actually finished a damn thing.......soooooooo

Give a shout out to those guys and gals who actually cross the finish line. And we all know how satisfying that can be (insert your own inuendo here)

I'll start..in no order...

These lovely people have not only gotten our attention with their stories, but they have actually finished what they have set out to. For that they should be held in a higher esteem..and in my book they are. Give a shout out to those you think should be lauded for not only being prolific, but for crossing the finish line with what they started. These authors will not let you down.

My rec:   anything by any of the authors listed above.

You know what time it is!

Come on inside!

Show us what you've been working on!!!

Your challenge this week, should you choose to accept

Chapter Eight is here :(

Summary: In the aftermath of her divorce, a heartbroken Bella Swan looks for danger to give meaning to her life. If only her hot ex-husband would stay out of the picture. AH BxE

Oh good God! Please say someone else has read the update?

Tell me I'm not alone in my heartbreak?

There will be spoilers.

So a little more than a year ago, I read this deliciously angsty twilight/Harry Potter crossover that I can't for the life of me remember the name to. Here's what I do remember:

-With HP, it was post-book 7, but still in 2005, when Twilight takes place. The author I think made it so the aftermath of the war coincided with Eclipse or something like that.

-Harry was suffering from pretty severe PTSD.

-Basically the the wizards were trying to forge new alliances among everyone in the supernatural world (vampires included) so they could ban together and track down the rogue death eaters, something to do with preventing another war or something. I remember a scene where the Cullen's and wolves are watching Harry train a new batch of wizards for dueling and what not.

-The ptsd put a big strain in Harry and Ginny's relationsship.

-Harry had joint custody of Teddy, who couldn't sleep whenever he was in Fork's because the wolves kept him up at night with their howling (Yeah, I know, sounds weird.). I think Emmett and Rosalie were quite attached to Teddy.

-I remember one point where Carlisle and Edward got to step into Hogwarts.

Hope someone knows what I'm talking about...

 And my Rec:

ETA: Found it! It's "When will this war be over? by misscassiebaby. Thanks to chinagirl for the link!

HBP Missing Moment. Remus recognizes similarities between Harry and James, including taste in girls. The Weasleys end up wondering if Harry could ever be suave or a model and ask questions about him, Cho and who he wants now. One-shot. Pre HG - Christmas.

Anyone watch this week's, yet?

Shane and Rick came to blows. So, that was fun.

A walker got his head blown off and you could see the barrel of Rick's gun from the back of its head. That was grossly awesome.

Who wants Andrea to disappear? Besides myself, of course. I mean, yeah, she got Beth to realize that she didn't really want to die, but was it really her place?

And where the eff was Daryl?! I missed him this week. :(

Also, anyone enter the 3-word code phrase of the week to try to win tickets to next season's red carpet premier?

Hi everyone! So I just finished watching the first 2 seasons of the Vampire Diaries. I have been watching this season but now I'd like to rewatch since I know what's everything means. My question is what is a good site to watch online episodes for free. (and legally) I don't want to have to download if possible. I have been able to watch episodes 1-4 but now I'm having trouble with the rest.

Thanks I found one that worked and I'm all caught up now.

So, I've been thinking about it for months, and I'm finally committing to my decision: I'm getting a pixie cut. This will be my first time getting such a short hair style (I've danced around over the years with various semi-short styles, and after getting a cut yesterday that is painfuly similar to something an aunt persuaded me into getting in the past, I'm standing my ground this time.).

This is kind of huge for me, because I've never done something this...extreme. Know what I mean? I'm scared, but man am I excited. I feel as though I'm doing something that is actually what I want. I plan on getting the cut in a week.

So, to make this interactive, share your big left turn moments/decisions. Those times when you decided to be a daredevil, take a chance, and leave your comfort zone.

Since it's FFA I wanted to put a request out there to my Southeastern fellow campers. A few weeks ago we had a campfire about getting together to do fun stuff. Well, I'm making my good weather plans and getting ready to plan my time off requests at work so wanted to see if any of you are up for some Thelma and Lousie goodtimes, but with more Brad Pitt and a good ending. Hell, Thelma, Louise, Megan and Harriet sounds even better. I'm a music lover but basically any fun experience is great by me. I've got my nissan versa, (Iwas going to call it the RedRocket but was told that was some kind of sexual term and decide against it) and it likes long drives. So to make this interactive tell me what your plans for great adventure is, maybe a great roadtrip you've already taken and if your interested but not into the campfire thing PM me. Just one of my fun adventures will be in my inside post. Ah, to be born in a more open and innocent time.

"Oh Bella, I miss you. I am not whole without you. I hope you can forgive my foolish behaviour. Knowing that I hurt you has wounded me far deeper than any rash scheme of deception ever could. We will talk more on this when we are together, which I hope will be soon"

Plight Thee My Troth has updated!

Come and discuss!

For interactivity purposes, what do you think of Edward's more playful side?

What do you think Black was up to?

And do you think Edward and Bella's relationship will change with the events of previous chapters and the announcement in this one?

SPOILERS ABOUND IN THIS CAMPFIRE

Rangers - I am really sorry but ADF is not letting me tag this post. I would otherwise!!

EDIT: Thank you to whoever added tags for me :-)

What you done this week that has made you pat yourself on the back?

Did you finally clear out all the crap in your garage/spare room?

Have you finally plucked up the courage to talk to that cute boy/girl from the coffee shop?

Were you generally just winning at life?

I have been super proactive in finding work experience/internships and having a positive outlook on the perils of job hunting.

Treat yo'self to some luuurve.

Hey guys,

I wanted to find a really good fanfiction where edward and bella both have dogs/puppys and thats how they meet or something along that line. Or even just a story where they have a dog. To be honest though i just want a really good fanfiction to read thats not incredibly over dramatised (like glee is now days), and nothing where u want to hit them cos ur now up to chp 36 and they still haven't sorted out their s**t.

Thanks.

Love,

Ambersun

Ranger Edit: Please do not post your email address for public viewing in the Forest. Contact via PM for any swapping of info. Thank you!

So, I'm new to this whole fanfiction writers/readers discussion thing. I'm really loving what I'm learning from all of you. And of course I've noticed all the wonderful fanfic art. My question is, do you make the banners yourself, does someone else make them for you? I am not talented in graphics, nor do I have the time to try to figure it out, but I want a pretty banner, too! lol, whine.

Maybe we can try a request post? If you need some art for your fanfic, request what you're looking for here. And if you are an artist willing to make graphics for fics, maybe you can comment here as well. 

I hope something like this is okay here at the forest.  

Noone's seen this yet?

Guten Morgen Campers!

....

as you can see I'm from Germany. I love fanfiction and I have no problem understanding them. (I only read them in english)

anyway, yesterday I outed myself and told my friend about my addiction!!!!!!

and she said, that she too would like to try it.

but you see, the problem is that she's not that good in english.

so I wanted to ask you lovelies, if any of you have some of their stories translated in german

or do you know any good german fics?

thanks for your help ♥

and here's my rec

an absolute favourite of mine

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5399084/1/Evading_Edward

Bella's first encounter with Edward instantly leads to a mutual dislike. She is the new girl in town that has attracted more than one admirer and he's the boy who usually gets what he wants. So how will one evade when the other is set to conquer? AH

Since it's FFA, let's have a I hate men Campfire. Or I hate women if you're a man or a lesbian. 

Let's complain about our love relationships. 

I just got dumped (by text message no less) and I feel really sad but mosty really pissed off. Apparently the guy I've been seeing for a little while suddenly decided he didn't want to be "trapped" in a relationship anymore. Translation: he wants to to f*** everything that moves. I don't know what wrong's with me. I always end up with idiots, jerks, guys who lead me on or break my heart. 

Apparently, you only find what you search for.  It worries me about what I'm searching for because my love life has been a long list of disappointment and catastrophic relationships. I have never been with someone who hasn't cheated on me. 

Obviously, I have trust issues and I seriously think that this time is the last straw. I'm done with love and all this s***.  What's the point if I'm just going to be so unhappy in the end? I want to be happy. 

I hate men right now. I don't get it. I'm not asking for the moon.

A French poet once wrote that there is no happy love. I think I agree. 

What's your opinion ? Help me wallow.

AvengeRanger Edit: 

We love the men in the FOREST and we think VERY highly of you and thank you for sharing our enjoyment of the different fandoms!!

I'm very excited!!  Its been soooo long!!

Okay wapa's, I need something real juicy!!  I have maybe 7hours of uninterupted twiverse to break back into and find some gems... but I need help, please?

I need some serious hilarity and lemony goodness, with a splash of drama of course =)  I'm happy with any concept but I'm feeling AH this sunny sunday.

I can hit the heavy stuff another day.

I'll be forever grateful!!   I'm returning after, hmm...... Jebus! - 8months!

lotsa Love

xo

I'm stunned!!! I had posted under the "devasted" campfire below how happy I would be if the final chapter of Breaking Points would post... and I'll be damned, it did.

The ending of the previous chapter left me breathless. I'll be honest, I'm terrified to read this final one. I know I will cry within an inch of my life, and not just because its over. Bex just has a way with the written word that can wring the tears right out of me.   

Ever wonder why Rosalie and Edward are so cold towards one another? Their story from the start; in keeping with the books, but based on the idea that they're both masterful liars. Love, lust, betrayal, desire, lies, darkness and breaking points.
