Come on in and chat...

There be SPOILERS here...

EPOV coming NEXT week...

here it is!

the ffa post!

can you even believe it?!

anyway.

go bananas, but don't attack anyone, with knives or words.

and don't you use your filthy language or post nudie shots on the front page, either.

but do click the ads.

also, post music covers you love.

i'm going with a song that everyone knows and is probably sick of. written by leonard cohen, made famous by jeff buckley (moment of silence)

yeah, yeah, yeah...

but.

this is joseph arthur and the difference is, like NO ONE ELSE EVER DOES, arthur sings the last verse of this song, which happens to be my favorite. idk why everyone abandons the last verse of this song. they should stop it.

i will be back with more covers on the inside, including, of course, jimmy gnecco.

carry on, my wayward sons.

Good Morning, Campers!

Happy Christmas!

Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days, my internet connection has been especially fail. 

Now, let's have a gossip.

What are your plans for the weekend? Anything really bugging you that you want to talk about?

Pull up a cushion and get it off your chest.

Let's chat. 

Here is the thing, a lot of times we really really want to try to get new readers but we are afraid to start new campfires promoting ourselves because (let's face it) that is generally not standard practice in these parts. That is exactly why we have this campfire.

We want to tell us about what you write, what a friend writes, or what you beta.

This is THE campfire of Self Promotion: THE PIMP CAMPFIRE.

That is what this campfire is for!

It may be slightly early, but, I'm feeling festive (and that's a rare occurrence). So, I've got a simple(ish) question for you:

If you could give any one twilight character (canon or otherwise) one Christmas present, what would it be?!?

(Is this allowed? I'm a bit out of wack with the rules!)

Hello, hello!

It's just about time for the Canon Tour's New Moon round. The dates are set, and there are a few changes to consider, but the biggest news is that I'm adding a new placement slot for Best Use of Prompt! One of the things I noticed in the last couple of rounds is that the prompts, while often well-received, were rarely written for, because writers thought they might not be crowd-pleasers, or they were afraid others were using the same prompt, so to deal with this I'm adding this placement in hopes of encouraging their use.

1st, 2nd and 3rd placements will continue to operate the way they did in previous rounds. In the ballot, there will be a fourth voting option in which readers will vote on the best story out of those that used one of the Canon Tour’s round prompts.

Which brings me to this...HELP ME COME UP WITH NEW MOON PROMPTS! I've already come up with some, but I'd like to hear what you would enjoy reading. Here's your chance to maybe have someone write That Fic You've Been Waiting For! ^{Or if you don't want to share your idea, you should write it!} You can get an idea of what I'm aiming for with the prompts by looking at previous ones.

Some shiz:

I saw this while standing in line at my local supermarket, waiting to pay for my two gallons of milk. Personally, I don't believe this. At all. I rolled my eyes when I read the headline.

This is the current issue, on newsstands now.

What do you all think of this? Believe it? Don't believe it? Indifferent? I WANNA KNOW.

BTW, I did a Yahoo! search for Rob and Kristen and apparently they went on a date recently. Like, in public and everything.

Is anyone going to the convention in Dallas this weekend? I just found out about it!

I've noticed a lot of new faces around here lately, and that's superly awesome.  In the spirit of connecting with one another, I thought it was high time we have a twitter sharing fire.  Many of us use it to share story updates, fandom news, and other general ramblings.  

Also - did you know that you can follow campers just by clicking on their icon, and viewing their profile? If they've added their twitter or other social networking info you can find it there - be sure to update yours under control panel!

Make sure you follow @DifferentForest to stay up to date on ADF news.  

I'm over there typically muttering nonsense as @eksmith07

So, come on in this fire, share your twitter info, and follow some new friends!

Happy Birthday!

"Believing hear, what you deserve to hear:

Your birthday as my own to me is dear...

But yours gives most; for mine did only lend.

Me to the world; yours gave to me a friend." --Martial

So get in here campers and spread some birthday love!

P.S. If December is your birth month, and you're not on this list LET ME KNOW! I'll correct it immediately. And if you HAVE a birthday, yeah you, I'd like to know when, if I already don't, so please PM me and let me know it! And for all your weekly birthday fandom needs check out Twific News.

If a Ranger would be so kind as to sticky this to the top that'd be awesome!

Thoughts about last nights episode?

Hey Campers!

It's time for our first discussion fire for 

From the Wings by LJSummers

Come on in here and share your thoughts, reactions, feelings, etc. on Chapters 1-10.  

No spoilers in this fire please - we've got lots of new readers.  

Join us back here on Monday to discuss the last 10 chapters and this story as a whole.

 I'll also reveal the last story in this "hijacked by vampires" series then.  

Thanks for participating!

Some stories replace the difference of the vampire/human relationship with the tension an interracial or cross-cultural romance can bring to a relationship – and all the networks that branch out from that relationship!

Though our world has seemingly shrunk over the recent decades, prejudicial attitudes can still influence relationships. Have you read any fics that deal with this?  Whether the couple is of the same country but of different ethnic groups or there are cultural issues stemming from different backgrounds, this can be a thought-provoking, loving avenue to explore.  

If you have read some good stories in this category, PLEASE share them!  This fic list has been requested and I know that the campers of ADF – some of the most widely-read fan fiction readers IN the fandom – can help!

This list will become our 120th category of fan fiction on our Master Fic List. Please feel free to browse this list at your leisure, updating old recs and providing new ones!

Thank you for sharing the best of cross-cultural or interracial romances around the fire!

Il più grande spettacolo dopo il week-end (The greatest show after the weekend) is an Italian TV event with record audiences. It is led by Rosario Fiorello, former disk jokey and now full time entertainer, extremely popular. The show - to be featured only for 4 Mondays - is the kind that even those who say "I never watch TV" (Like me)  will watch. I am mentioning this because there is a regular Twilight parody in each episode. Which indicates that Twilight can't be ignored or confined to teenagers anymore.

As parodies go, it is quite funny and not at all nasty, the main point being that Edward Cullen is very, very fast.

This is the photo that Fiorello posted on his twitter account

Inside I'll put a youtube link, to be appreciated only if you know Italian, probably

It's time to open up the forest for all of those inquiries you have been dying to make.

Inquries 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.... 

ask wtvoc

animal sparkles because dave grohl was animal in the moopets

yes, the moopets. why haven't you seen the new muppet movie yet?

come in here and ask me anything. who'm i, you may ask? why, i'm the purple ranger of the forest. i'll answer anything. you might get sarcasm in response to personal questions, but i'll still answer you. my opinion, my personal life, my preferred brand of cookware, recipes for whatever, questions about ADF or fanfiction or current recs for pride & prejudice fanfiction, you name it.

but if you ask me medical questions, i'm just gonna tell you to go see a doctor. 

and if you ask me to proofread your grad school paper jennifer, i don't have the energy to do that two nights in a row.

ask away~

mr. darcy inquiring after the health of your family more than once fyt:

I was just wondering if anyone has Emergence of a Pervert by Kinolaughs. I saw it rec'd on the fic I'm reading now and can't find it.

This fic is so good, I love Bella's ovaries :)

Work in Progress

AU/AH: Bella, Edward and the usual suspects are adults living in Seattle. They hit it off after a klutzy accident and E awakens B's ovaries, who never hesitate to voice their pervy opinion in B's head. Rated M for language and lemons.

Inspired by the BD love thread below: I'm having a really bad day and I want to share this beautiful 'eat ur hearts out I married The Jaw' still. Just came back from watching it the third time (and I'm not ashamed to say it). His eyebrows didn't seem that big this time around, but did he wax the hair on his arms?? idk

Post stills that you liked, quotes that you liked, was that Phil we saw sitting next to Renee but noone bothered to video him etc.

Okay, we're gonna do something different today!  A lot of y'all have been out doing your Holiday shopping.  This is the season of Christmas parties, Secret Santa and White Elephant Gift Exchanges.  I wonder if vampires have Secret Santa parties...  What do you think the Cullens would get each other?  Does Esme cruise the Home Shopping Network? Does Emmett like to shop at SkyMall?  

This week’s game:

Fic Secret Santa

So here's what we're gonna do.  Stay with me, I'm trying not to make this too complicated.

Make an assignment of a character from a certain fic or from canon for someone to pick.

Then the next person selects a character that has been posted and comes up with another character to be the giver.  Then go find what gift would be given.

You can also post who you want to be the giver AND givee for someone to find a gift to be exchanged.

When you find the perfect gift, post a picture or a description.

Okay, here are some examples:

Example 1:

Prompt:  Givee - Canon Jacob

Answer:  Giver - Canon Rosalie

              Gift - Rawhide Chew Toy

Example 2:

Prompt:  Givee - Canon Edward

              Giver - MOTU Edward

Answer:  Gift - Cat of Nine Tails with vampire teeth attached to the ends (What? You know it would be interesting. ;))  

This could either be a whole lot of fun or a real flop.  So PLEASE come inside and let's have some giggles! :D

'TWILIGHT' FANS Fake EngagementsTo Try on Bella Dress

Just when you thought "Twilight" fans had a healthy grip on reality -- TMZ has learned, lady Twihards are invading bridal boutiques, secretly lying about being engaged ... so they can try on a replica of Bella's wedding dress from the new flick.

The $799 replica is being sold in Alfred Angelo bridal boutiques everywhere -- and people who work at the chain tell us the scheming fans are driving them crazy, making it extremely difficult to conduct business.

By the way, we really don't think Twilight fans have a healthy grip on reality.

First of all, why does the boutique have cut-outs of Edward and Jake...LOL!

Interactive part...who here will admit that they would fake an engagement to try on the dress?
