Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter trailer.

Someone asked permission to translate one of my stories into Russian for a Twilight fansite.

Does anyone have experience with this?  Pros/Cons

I'm skeptical about this. (Maybe I shouldn't be?) While this story is about 10% Twilight, it's 90% original, so it means a huge amount to me.

Should I be skeptical? Share your thoughts please and thank you. :)

And here's a rec. I'm sure you've seen it here already, but it's the only story I'm reading right now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JENNYFLY.

BESTOW UPON HER MONTGOMERY CLIFT AND ROBERT PATTINSON WITH HAIR ONLY, PLEASE.

ALSO, CATS AND BATMAN.

For Jennifer on her birthday...we all know her writing is stunning and she set the bar entirely too high here in fic land. We know she is adorably cranky and we know she is always, always fair and level headed. She is hard working and loyal like crazy.

But did you know she's funny?

And she's actually one of the sweetest, kind-hearted people I've ever known?

Happy Bleeping Birthday to one of the most supportive, endearing, gracious, intelligent, strongest and best friends I've ever had.

I am blessed to know you, and know you well.

APPROVED BY JANDCO. AND DOUBLE APPROVED BECAUSE WE'RE SO PROUD OF OUR OWN LJSUMMERS.

Water Landing updated last night and it was cute and hilarious and there were sweet moments and vulnerable ones and possible revelations and regular revelations whose possibilities weren't questioned. Come inside and discuss its awesomeness with me to prove how cool you are that you read this.

Here are some non-spoilery discussion questions to get you going (which you probably won't need and are not obligated to answer):

What do you think of how Edward acts toward his peers and family compared to how he acts around Bella?

Similarly, what do you think about how Bella acts toward her peers compared to how she acts around Edward?

Did your thoughts/opinions of Bella change in this chapter?

How much did you wanna marry the ending?

Join me, friends.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a season 2 of "Terra Nova"?

Does anyone else even watch this?

Okay, I need people to talk to about this. Seriously. Something's going on and I have no idea what!

Chapter 12: Life Goes On

Thoughts?

I don't really have much to say; I just wanted to start a campfire for discussion.

Anyone have any clue as to what is happening with FFnet? 1st it was down from late Thurs til Friday evening. Now you can't log in again.

I tried looking everywhere on the site to find some kind of note to its users, but found nothing. I did come accross the TOS and laughed when I realized that if they really followed it that they would have to remove about 80% of the stories on there. Posting song lyrics and using published poetry is a no no.  Oh, My. Aaaaaanyway...what the hell is going on with it? Any speculation?

My guesses from left field:

1. They got a cease and desist order from a few major publishing houses and are trying to figure out what to do.

2. They switched servers to one that was cheaper...(ya get what ya pay for kinda thing)

3. They like %&($ing with us.

I am computer challenged.

I know enough, but there is so much that I am unaware of.

I hear about people watching movies online all the time and I want to be able to do this as well.

We have a Netflix account, but they suck. HULU hasn't really worked out for me either.

Tonight, for example, I am on a Fassbender kick. I want to watch the Jane Eyre movie. 

Couldn't really find it on Youtube; Netflix doesn't have it online, of course.

Hulu only has a preview.

I have Xfinity, but I do not subscribe to the channel that has it available.

I want to watch it! and I really want to watch, Shame.

What do you guys use? What is safe? I am scared of viruses and I do not want to deal with a lot of ads either.

I want free, easy, and uncomplicated.

Can you hook a girl up?

ETA: If you can't help me, feel free to post yummy Fassbender pictures. ugh.

THERE IS NO FASSBENDER TAG!! For shame!

They are a collection on one-shots. Some better than others. Good for a slow update night, like tonight.

purple edit: just to be clear, WE'RE LOOKING FOR LEGAL WAYS TO WATCH MOVIES, RIGHT? NONE OF THIS NEWFANGLED ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING THAT IS CURRENTLY GETTING WEBSITES SHUT DOWN BY THE GOVERNMENTZ, RIGHT? RIGHT.

If you havent read this ... do it now...

With All My Strength » by Rhi Aeffyll
He has been a warrior-king, then a lonely nomad, then a coven leader. He has worn many shoes, taken many lives, learned many things. Edward Cullen has roamed the earth for over a millennium, aimless and unchanged. Until now; until her.
 

My question is this... Does anyone know of any stories were Bella and Edward, and it doesnt matter which, one of them is a half-vamp and the other is a vamp before they meet... basically neither is human before they meet... i've read a few, but only read one good one..

i was reading one a while back "Gotta Be Somebody" by xxLuAshxx ..  in it bella is a half-vamp who is basicaly being kept from the world by charlie and renne for her protection (they are both vamps)... she doesnt like not being able to experience everything so she runs away to experience the world.... she ends up in forks and I think you can guess what happens after that...... it was pulled though before it was finished....... luckly I have a copy of it and you can have it if you pm me your email ......   : )  ... hopefully the author will put it back up and finish it...

I'm a strict E/B person but something today made me want some good Alice and Jasper fics. I've been reading some good versions of them here and there in E/B centric fics to where I actually like them as characters and that's odd because  usually Alice irks me all together somehow no matter what. So I'm now looking for the focus to be on them.

Criteria:

1. AH only. I can barely do E/B vamps so no vamps.

2. I'll take whatever genre (so I'm open to some angst), but I just REALLY don't want the Jasper as a wounded Iraq vet and he's PTSD the whole story and that level of angst and therapy lessons 101 and that kind of slow burn because love happens close to the end because he's not mentally and emotionally...there. The same with Alice. Nothing like that. Whatever else, I'm game. Well no awful Maria/Tanya and Alice pulling a runaway Bella and Jasper/Edward not knowing which end is up.

Whatever else, happy-sad-angsty-fluffy I'm game. Just nothing traumatic. I'm not in love with them enough to stick with them through some awful angst like ^^^se above.

3. A non-annoying Alice. I've never read A/J centered fics but I'm assuming she's not a shopaholic, pixie who makes Jasper be her assistant  holding her bags in the mall. That seems to only be her in E/B fics so none of that in Alice. Anything else, I'm game.

4. Not too long.  From basic research, the popular ones by numbers are a little long in the tooth for my taste at 250k words and counting. I'm new and that's a little daunting for A/J for me.. I'll take some really good one shots over that but a multi-chap would be really nice.

My fic rec:

The Learning Curve

AU and AH. Short chapters with daily updates. When Bella's boyfriend brings up the issue of her virginity with his ex, she decides to take charge of her own fate.
Twilight - Rated: M - English - Romance/Humor - Chapters: 104 - Words: 63,005 - Reviews: 9695 - Updated: 2-11-12 - Published: 10-31-11 - Bella & Edward

I'm still iffy on all these drabbles and considering Bonne Foi, I wasn't really interested in something new here but I read the first few chapters and I really like it a lot. I'm still wading through it slowly but so far I like it alot and I'm around ch. 80.

Does anyone have a copy of Epilogue 2 of The University of Edward Masen, by sebastienrobichaud? The one that's B and E's POV concerning B's pregnancy? If so, please PM me....

FYT:

Grace born of heartbreak, by lily cullen

Ten years.

Ten years have passed since Edward left Bella that day in the woods. He doesn't know what happened to her. He doesn't know if she's happy. He doesn't know if she's had the life that he intended for her.

Alice has developed a new talent closely related to her precognition, and she finally prevails upon Edward to check up on Bella, for her and Esme's sake if nothing else.

And what they see will destroy the fragile peace that Edward has lived in for the past decade.

(Note: this is most definitely not a Bella/Jacob story. In fact, it is at its heart a Bella/Edward story.)

The rating is for violence and character death, not erotica. If you're looking for erotica... sorry. Wrong place.

i want to see what'sin everyone's purse/bag/knapsack/whatever. 

because i'm nosy like that.

please?

ETA: whoops; guess i should describe what's in there.

ipad, coupon holder thingie, wallet, glasses case, lip glosses, sharpies/pens, change purse, floss, admit one ticket to...something, toy wipes and keys. normally my phone would be in there, but i used it for the picture, as well as my ipod nano, but it's currently sitting on its dock. oh! and letters i forgot to mail earlier!
