That other fellow

I was so thrilled to see that fictionfreak95, the author of Meet the Masens, Vines and Edward Cullen, Dick for Hire has a new fic posted!!

It's  only three chaters in and already it has me desperate and wanting more!

Blind Spot
All her life, Bella Swan saw things before they happened, until him. He was her blind spot. How do you stay out of someone's life when you see it flashing before your eyes on a daily basis? AH,BxE

This is my first rec for 2012 - I just couldn't keep it to myself!! 

this morning, i attempted to turn my ceiling fan off by pulling the affixed chain that is meant to power the thing on/off and change the settings.

i pulled the thing about 38 times before finally sticking my hand in the blades to see if it was off.

the point is,  doesn't everyone pull the ceiling fan chain at least 38 times before it finally goes off?

or toilet paper.

doesn't matter how you've just used it, when you're done, you look at it--i don't know why or what i'm even looking for, i just know i look. and everyone else does, too. i think.

zit popping?

i love it. even if i see a stranger with a ripe white head, my fingers start to itch. i wanna pop it.

if im aware my armpits are going to smell particularly rank, i'll smell them. i'll regret it, but i'll do it every time.

tell me all of your "things"

i bet you're not alone.

Chapter 49 - Wolf Wind

I've gotta say, these chapters where elements of nature observe the goings-on are my absolute favorite.

They're so wistful, so nostalgic, like a moment out of time, a memory. I just adore the way Miaokuancha writes. She has a very subtle way with words. She lays them down like dew- they're so delicate, but so perfect, each one.

If you're not reading this wonderful AU, you should be.

WOOT for my first-ever campfire!

Chapter 5

EPOV. Yes, it´s Edwardian angst that got me into the story again. Judge all you like

ETA with pic: Sorry, Cap, had to go with a NM pic for this story!

Chapter 15: Break down

Sorry, can´t find appropriate pic! ETA: I was gonna post a  beaten up Tyler pic for the lulz, but out of respect for the author I´ll stick to this

Twitter is exploding right now because Robert has shaved his head. I love that he is sitting next to Betty White!

Thoughts?

Just like every week, we open up the forest for all of those inquiries you have been dying to make.

Inquiries like:

"Could someone rec me...."

"What is the name of that fic..?"

"I forgot how to..."

"How do you _____ on ADF...?"

"I've always wondered...."

ALL HELP GOES HERE. ALL HELPERS ANSWER HERE!

It is the Amnesia, Request, Questions, Techie campfire....

So, yesterday, I posted an update to my fic and, probably like a large percentage of the fandom, didn't get as many reviews as I had hoped. I'm not special in any way, but I don't think my reaction is a normal one.

Am I the only who feels like crap when you post an update and no one reviews? I feel like everyone rejected me.

Enjoy Bel Ami in the mean time. :(

So... I just noticed that there have been a lot of updates to site and some of which I'm WAYYYY behind on!  I noticed some people's profiles have a link to their stories they've written.  I've updated mine for facebook, twitter and fan fiction but I can't get the "This person is an author" link in the general section.

Is there something special I'm supposed to do to get that?

Thanks!

Summit announced that starting in February, special wedding edition Barbie dolls of  Edward and Bella will be available to buy at BarbieCollector.com for $29.95.

I think Edward looks like a Phantom of the Opera doll.

Well, it's been a couple weeks with some holidays in between. :)  I'm happy it's Wednesday, let's have some fun!

And on a personal note, this will be my last time posting the Humpday Games.  Thank you to all of you who messaged me with your concern.  Everything is okay, and I'm not flouncing. :)  Just taking a wee smidge of a step back to make sure my focus is where it needs to be.  I'll still be around, so thank you for your notes. :)  You made me smile!

If you would like to take over hosting the Humpday Games, I say go for it!  Send Emibella a message if you're interested.

Let's Put A Big Smile On Her Beautiful Face!

Happy Birthday, Capricorn75!!!

A few quick facts about Ranger Cappie:

She hosts contests - if you like slash in particular, she's your woman. 

She is a review queen - an every-chapter-reviewer type of lady, and is super encouraging. 

She's an all around wonderful person (who sends her friends pie)

Come on in and share some love with Rob picspams, E/C slash links, etc.  

We  you, Cap!!!

Just a heads up - inside might get a little (or a lot) NSFW...wa wa wee wa ;)

Which fic did you pimp out the most (and did you regret it)?

In my case probably The Blessing and The Curse. It had like 100 reviews when I started becoming obsessed with it. And as much as I didn't like the characters or the prose towards the end, I'll never regret it. I still think she's one of the most talented authors in the fandom.

The female in me hates posting this (I even hate saying 'pimp'), but I can't help myself

It's really happening....

TWILIGHT: THE MUSICAL!!!!! (((SCREAMS)))

I know I know...it's hard to hold back your excitement but it's only one night, so you better hurry and go get your tickets

Who's gonna go or want to go see it? Be honest...LOL!

(EW.com) -- Broadway is about to get a little extra sparkle in those famous neon lights.
It was recently announced the "Twilight" musical is officially happening. Before you book your tickets to NYC (or, conversely, get the heck out of Times Square) you should know it's not expected to have a very long run. "Twilight: The Musical" will make its off-Broadway debut as a one-night-only staged reading on January 16, and the proceeds will benefit the charity Blessings in a Backpack.
The most exciting thing about this announcement may be the cast, and the plot teases their characters' names give us. In addition to Bella and Edward, (who already sings a lullaby—why shouldn't he also belt out a Broadway tune?) the name that gets me onboard is the totally awesome Lauren Lopez (Alice), who played Draco Malfoy opposite Darren Criss' Harry Potter in the spectacular "A Very Potter Musical."
Other teases that make me cautiously optimistic this could be a lot of fun: characters named both Harry Potter and Hermione Granger will be showing up--perhaps leading up to that epic vampire vs. wizard war that we all know is coming.
According to the website the show, "examines our culture of obsession through the story of teenage outsider Bella Swan who risks everything when she embarks on a star-crossed romance with Vampire Edward Cullen."
 Why Greene likes 'Twilight' Alice 'Twilight' fans camp out for premiere 'Twilight' secrets revealed
The musical, which you can watch blurry clips of on YouTube, originally premiered and was workshopped last year in New York. With opening lyrics like "Nothing ever happens in Forks" and (of course) "I wish I had a boyfriend," the show seems to be in the same vein as "A Very Potter Musical" in that it's a fun-loving parody by people who clearly enjoyed the source material.
It will be interesting to see how far the production is able to get, as the show has no stated affiliation with Stephenie Meyer or Summit. Parodies are typically ok, copyright law-wise, but a show has to play up the 'unofficial' and 'spoof' aspects--the fact that the character names don't appear to be changed surprises me. That this one-night-only reading is for charity (aka no one involved is making money) probably helps. EW reached out to Dreamcatcher Entertainment (one of the producers) and they did not return requests for comment.
Love it, hate it, or some strange combination of both, I'm surprised a "Twilight" show hasn't happened sooner. Think of the musical possibilities for a show with the tagline 'death never sounded so good.' (Please resist the obvious joke in the comments). A teenage girl is in love with a guy vampire from the wrong side of the tracks living. Are vampires and werewolves really that different from Sharks and Jets? And try to tell me the werewolf chases in the woods aren't just waiting to be a shirtless staged ballet.
If you were in New York would you check it out? What scenes from the films are begging for a musical interpretation?

As always, this weekly campfire tells us

what you are reading or

what you have read that you think everyone needs to read as well!

It is very important that you include links and even more important that you not only give a description of the fic, but tell us

WHY YOU LOVE IT!

This week I thought I would ask you for TWO THINGS 

1. What fic have you recently completed that you really enjoyed? 

2. What fic are you reading now that has you anxiously awaiting an update?

With both of these, don't forget to tell us why and give us a link.

Also, if you are reading something that someone else recs, you can discuss it or concur here. That helps campers decide if they want to read it as well!

From today's shirt.woot!

I love me some shirt.woot! This is today's offering (available until midnight if you are interested, click the pic..adf gets nothing, it is just soo good) but besides it being a t-shirt it is a great graphic!
