Twilight Collectibles

Monday February 20, 2012 at 11:10 AM

 

My 13 Y/O Step Daughter collects the Barbie Twilight Dolls (minus Jacob LOL). She inherited this from me, as I collect dolls too.

Do any of YOU collect the Twilight stuff?

So, list your top three most favorite and least favorite characters from th saga.

 

Mine...

Most:

1)Edward (The only reason I had read the book and I read fanfics!)

2)Seth(I like that kid!)

3) Esme

Least:

1) Jacon (Do you need any reason?LOL!)

2)Jasper(I just can't stand him, may be, because I can't stand Jackson Rathbone.)

3) Bella(I couldn't relate to her at all)

 

So, what are yours???

something Hall

Monday February 20, 2012 at 1:39 AM

Help, I need to find a fic. Supernatural and the title is "something Hall" (Renfield hall, Weinfield hall ???)  I was reading it but must not have saved it properly. It is complete, I think and quite old.

 

And now my rec. Heaven help my heart by Jmolly. It is a Leah fic, she has imprinted on an Inuit vampire, Ivo and after trials and tribulations they are about to marry. The story is a side spill of the author's wonderful, totally AU, rewrite of BD. She has finally updated it and this last chapter is wonderful. Ivo has a nap (in her mythology vampires, ethical ones and only the males, have - rarely - a nap, that helps them to cope with the stress of their inhuman situation.) Ino relives his experiences first as a human, and then as a vampire (non veg, until he meets Leah). The reconstruction of life in his tribe some 300 years ago is stunning! The story is T rated but the first time between Ivo and Leah is told in an outake and it is awkward and delicious.

One funny aspect, when the wedding wil be celebrated, is that Jmolly has put actual readers in the story. I am Camilla, event manager, LOL

Written In Blood - In Defense of Depression

Sunday February 19, 2012 at 11:16 PM

 

 

October
November
December
January


Despite my very vocal criticisms of Stephenie Meyer's shortcomings as a writer I still find those chapters from New Moon to be some of the most brilliantly written ever. It took me a moment at first to figure out what she was doing. I thought perhaps I'd bought a misprinted copy. I flipped back and forth a couple of times, checked the table of contents, and then went back. Then I realized what she was doing and a huge smile broke out across my face. It might seem odd to smile about such a thing but you see, I felt like I was part of a secret, part of an inner circle because I knew exactly what she meant and how that sort of emptiness felt.

The Walking Dead

Sunday February 19, 2012 at 7:37 PM

How's everybody liking the second half of season two so far?

In last week's episode, how many of you recognized Michael Raymond-James and how many (besides myself) immediately thought of him as Rene from True Blood?

Also, one last question:

Any Dixon's Vixens out there? ;-)

(Apparently this is what Daryl Dixon ladyfans are calling themselves...?)

Time for a Book Post!

Sunday February 19, 2012 at 12:59 PM

Not only have I gotten some truly wonderful fic recs from fellow campers, but you lovely ladies (and guy[s]) also have terrific taste in books.  

I need some new recs folks.  I like just about anything but prefer YA, historical fiction, non-fiction, suspense, and dystopian novels right now.  I'm currently reading this and thoroughly enjoying it.  The world building is excellent.  There is romance, but it's slow burn and (so far) seems believable.  

(click on photo for summary)

 

So campers, what is everyone reading?  What has you transfixed these days?  What do you love and, more importantly, tell us WHY you love it.  Thanks!!

 

A rec for your time.  I am loathe to read non-canon pairings.  I am solid E/B girl all the way.  That said, this is Bella/Jasper and I LOVED IT. 

Long Way Down by forthelongestday

When Edward confesses his motivation for leaving Bella she realizes she cannot offer him a second chance. Her insistence for closure is met with the realization that one member of the family has no intentions of leaving her unprotected again. AU

fanfiction addiction

Sunday February 19, 2012 at 12:50 PM

Writers: Why did you start writing fanfiction? Was it simply to explore the characters your own way, or something more? Was it to improve your writing and get some feedback? Something else?

Betas:  What made you decide to beta?

Everything is done for free, so I'm curious about why everyone started.  

Readers: How were you introduced to fanfiction? Do you prefer AH, AU, or does it matter? Is plot more important to you than writing style? Is there any writing style you will not read? Or plot, for that matter?

I remembered to tag. :D

The Darkest Part of the Night

Sunday February 19, 2012 at 11:35 AM

is anyone else reading this? What do you think of it? ... Im still if-y on the plot but I thought it was pretty well written...

 

Title: The Darkest Part of the Night » by Xavier2163

Rating: M for graphic violence, blood play, vampire feeding, sexual situations, lemons, hot steamy angsty vampire lovin', underage drinking, smoking, drug use and overall bad behavior.

Premise: Edward left Carlisle to live the vampire lifestyle but he didn't leave his family behind. They left with him, feeding off the dregs of human society. What will happen when they finally meet a certain human girl? No Vegetarians Allowed AU OOC ExB Lemons

Alternate Universe: This story uses more traditional vampire canon as opposed to Twilight sparklepires. Canon pairings eventually although Edward and company get a lot of play in this story until things settle down in later chapters (Obviously Bella won't be in the story until after she's born), pretty much OOC, ExB of course.

POV: EPOV (Edward) Edward tells this story. Any commentary from Rosalie, Alice or Bella will be posted as outtakes in a separate story.

Rated: M - English - Drama/Romance - Chapters: 12 - Words: 120,435 - Reviews: 72 - Updated: 2-18-12 - Published: 12-2-11 - Edward & Bella

Only You Can Prevent

Sunday February 19, 2012 at 4:42 AM

lung cancer, apparently.

So, long story short, I need to quit smoking, like, yesterday.

Let me say, I'm smoking while I post this, I understand it's an awful habit health wise, I take full responsibility for the medical consequences I have for smoking, and please let's not make this moral or political. 

I really want to know how anyone else has quit. What works? What should I do? Chantix, electronic cigarettes, patches, gum, cold turkey? I'm up for anything that works.

I've been told by the doc: don't drink for at least 21 days after quitting, don't try to quit anything else like caffiene or fatty food while quitting (except somehow don't drink and don't quit normal habits are fighting eachother here, lol), and don't try to pick up a new habit, like exercise, while quitting.

So, bascially, screw the doc, do you have any advice on actually quitting smoking. It's a priority for me at the moment and I will love and welcome any response.

 

It's free for all but I'm gonna rec a fic anyway: Water Landing by camoozle.
High School's a lot like a plane crash. You check for the exit. You secure your mask. And if you're lucky, you survive. AU, AH, All EPOV.

She gave us "For the Summer" so you know her writing is good and you trust her. So try this, Alice is on 16 and pregnant, Edward has either a head injury or an epiphany, Bella plays twister and wears fun socks. Just get on board now, it's an awesome fic. 

 

ETA: Thanks everybody for the advice and the good luck wishes. I've alread changed my smoking avi to a different kind of smoking avi, so that's one small step completed. You are all warming my grumpy little heart with the kind thoughts. Thank you.

Fanfics on Fanfiction.net vs on ADF?

Sunday February 19, 2012 at 1:36 AM

I'm not a writer, but I was wondering about why do you post on both place? Is there any difference in content or it's the same?

And question to readers, where do you read it? Here or on ff.net?

My Dad is taking me to Prom!

Sunday February 19, 2012 at 12:27 AM

I'm so excited. This would be a major step for him in the daughter department, cause he wasn't around much when I was growing up. And since my ex is out of the picture.....

 

If you went to Prom, who took you? Did you go with friends? Your bf? A really good guy friend?

TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS.

Everlasting Why update

Sunday February 19, 2012 at 12:13 AM

Edward looks older. That's all I was asking.

 I We were btching, but this is an author who knows what she's doing.

Chapter 21: Vast possibilities

I'm supposed to be making these cfs interactive, but I'm not sure how. I've already asked if some people can't get into it, and whenever there's an update post it goes without saying that readers it are asked to discuss it, no? How about this: "Is EW the With Teeth of AU?" a. Yes. b. No. c. stfu aren't u over that ancient story already (No. Can't) d. Is WT a dentists' association

Or you can replace WT with your favorite AH? Or with your least favorite AH if you don't like it? God this cf is all over the place. Show me your cfs and I'll tell you who you are.

Edward Cullen in a white shirt FINALLY LOOKING NOT AS A TEEN FYT

ETA: How about I make this more interactive with a new Rob airport pic? Suits the new chapter too

Skyrim, Anyone?

Saturday February 18, 2012 at 11:45 PM

Ok, so I'm not normally a "gamer". The longest I ever played a game was for Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. Then one day, I was trolling Youtube and came across this:

I want it really friggin bad! This has got to be one of the best games I have ever seen. I love everything about it. Now the problem is saving up the 60 dollars to buy it. The PC version, because I won't go out and buy an X-Box 360 JUST for that.

To make this interactive, what are your thoughts about the game? Do you like games like this? Are you a "gamer"? Or do you hate video games all-together?

All opinions are welcome!

Help Finding A Fic

Saturday February 18, 2012 at 11:30 PM

First of all, my fic rec:

The Procrustean Bed by gemini13me  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6991264

A Procrustean Bed- a standard or set of conditions, determined arbitrarily, to which everyone is forced to conform. But the question is... are there really any rules when it comes to the affairs of the heart?
Twilight - Rated: M - English - Drama/Romance - Chapters: 24 - Words: 156,984 - Reviews: 1835 - Updated: 2-14-12 - Published: 5-14-11 - Edward & Bella

 

I can't remember the name or author of the fic I'm looking for, but, this is what I do remember:

* Bella's mother left or died when she was young, and she is left with Charlie, who is her boss. She never seems able to do enough to please him. He seems to have more faith in Mike.

* Bella has some sort of anxiety/self-esteem issues. She's very aloof at work and doesn't socialize with her coworkers. They never call her Bella, only Ms. Swan (except Emmett, I think). She does start to join her coworkers at a bar after work due to her interest in Edward.

* Edward also works for Charlie, but, in the IT department. She has a thing for him, though she has trouble interacting with him. Edward is very patient with her. They go on a date at some point and it doesn't go well. They go jogging together after the date because jogging is kind of therapeutic for Bella. I think she ends up tripping and falling into mud.

* Alice is her roommate and tries to keep Bella from going completely into her shell. Jasper, a graphic designer, is her friend and dresses a little strangely (ie: a top hat).

That's most of what I remember. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

Loaning Kindle books?

Saturday February 18, 2012 at 10:35 PM

It seems like there was a place mentioned in a previous campfire where you could go and offer books up and request a loan and I can't find it! There is a book I want to read, but I don't really want to shell out $9.99 for it. It's The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer.

Beta's....

Saturday February 18, 2012 at 7:32 PM

So...Mine has had RL drop a bombshell on her, which has effectively taken her attention away from fanfic and by extension, all fanfic related junk. I've been in contact wth her, but haven't heard a word from her in almost a week. Meanwhile, the latest chapter of my main WIP is ready to go  (in my opinon. I've been working on this thing obssessively for months), but I'm torn whether or not I should wait for her okay on the twilighted site, or just upload it straight up on ff.net.

Anyone ever been in this situation before? Is there some sort of unspoken rule about uploading without your beta's green light? I'll provide more details about the situation as this campfire goes on....

Spartacus Vengeance

Saturday February 18, 2012 at 5:45 PM

Are you watching?!?!?!

I've been wanting to talk about this season for the longest, or look up some juicy info on the web, but I've been without internet and way to busy to find time to hit a cafe or anything like that. SOO get in here and talk this season with me!!!

And if you're not watching, what are you waiting for?! It's no season one (RIP Andy Whitfield) but it's holding it's own if you look at it as a show having to face unbelievable tragedy, and look the fans in the face and acknowledge that no other man on the face of this earth could be Spartacus but Andy Whitfield, so the man who replaced the character is someone completely unlike him in every aspect because he could never *be* him. I, personally, like that they didn't try to "one-up" Andy, or find someone so completely similar. It's impossible. And facing that massive obstacle, losing it's main actor, the show is STILL going strong and drawing it's viewers in, both strict fans of the past, and new ones.

CHECK IT OUT. Here. And Here too.

And chitter-chatter about it with me!!
