Chapter 48: Chupacabra

"Lead me, Edward"

Good Morning, Campers!

It's X Factor time again, so let's talk about those results.

Do you think the right person went home? Were you surprised at the bottom two?

Same goes for Strictly and any other reality TV you've watched this week.

Let's chat.

I used to receive from Twific news information about current contests and awards. Now Twifcs news seems busy only with readlalongs and birthdays and ADF only has occasional info about  a few of them. Is there another place from where to get the info?  (They were my favorite hunting gounds for stories).

If you have links please tell me.

And here is a rec

Cold case File by I-was-broken  It is both on ff and twilighted net. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6413209/1/Cold_Case_File

Summary: Bella is investigating a rash of serial killings in Rochester, NY when Edward Cullen crosses her path and raises her suspicion. Is there more to Edward than meets the eye? Can Bella fight her attraction to a man who might be her suspect?

It is, of course, a supernatural story and it is becoming more and more interesting as it updates. (15 chapters so far)

So I know it's not FFA anymore, but this is Twilight-related and hilariously funny.  So I'm good, yes?  If not, rangers please feel free to remove.

Without further ado...  If you loved the train-wreck of awesomeness that was "Big Metal Chicken" then I humbly present to you:

If this doesn't win Jenny Lawson the interwebs, I don't know what will.

So I know we all like beauty products. From hair products to make up, we all want to look our best.

This time of year I go crazy buying gift sets for my self. What are some of your favorites?

(more inside)

ask a _______

so, i've been noticing a lot of new faces lately as well as the triumphant return of many old faces. welcome (back)! i'm glad you're here!

i thought we'd all get to know each other a little on this post-holiday sunday. time to ask some questions, campers!

the rules for playing are simple:

start a comment. list what your "specialties" are. 

we'll ask you questions, any questions at all. and you have to come back and answer them!

make some friends up in this campfire!

animal print pants outta control fyt:

So, i find myself making the same old every week for dinner.  I work, come home to a husband who works at home and has the time to throw something together in the crock pot, but yet he refuses to, and find myself not wanting anything I usually cook anymore.  We've been eating out way more than usual lately.

Get me out of my funk, people!  What's your go to, throw together after a long day at work, meals?

One of mine is in the comments.

I should add one note...i'm a picky mofo, so if you've got picky kids and they'll eat it, I probably will, too.

I watched 'The Wedding Date' last night and thought that there just has to be a TwiFic version of this storyline out there.  Before I go scouring FF, was wondering if anyone knows offhand?  

So... its Sunday night here in Australia.... and... well i needed a good Music Campfire!!!

Im adding to my itunes playlists as we speak... and always love hearing others choices and favourites...

so... here is the place to go at it!!!

LAY YOUR MUSIC ON ME!!!

post your favourites of all time, or the songs that own you this week, or that one hit wonder that makes you question your own taste in music, but for the life of you, you cant stop listening!!!

Ill start it off with 2 songs, for totally different reasons!!!

Song 1: Silver Lining - Rilo Kiley (this is owning me hardcore... its my current road trip song, and since ive been driving to Byron bay alot the past few weeks, this is my go to song!) ** wouldnt let me play embedded vid of official music vid.. boo youtube!

Song 2: Pumped up Kicks - Foster the People (this song just wont F*** Off out of my head, thanks to my neighbours blasting it all weekend!!!)

Can anyone help me? I'm looking for an older fic - B&E are at Dartmouth ( I think ) and she’s either car jacked or almost car jacked and is hit on the head. Goes to hospital and doctors find a brain tumor. Anyone know the fic i’m talking about????
 

So tell me, how do you go about accomplishing it? Why do you think it's so difficult to pull off? Got any pointers/tips?

And in your opinion, what makes a GOOD  E-POV? What does it need?

And I know it's still free for all, but I'm still naming a rec because I think it's one of the best examples of E-POV in the entire fandom. Seriously, if you haven't read it, what the hell are you waiting for?

Ithaca is Gorges, by giselle-lx: New Moon from Carlisle's and Edward's POV: After the Cullens leave Bella and move to Ithaca, NY, Carlisle fights to keep his family together as Edward's pain threatens to tear them apart. Canon.

Ok, so I'll readily admit that I'm one of those people who simply hates the Holidays.  No, seriously...I loath this time of year.  All that happy happy joy joy...it only puts the Grinch in me into a worse mood.  It's what?  2 days into the season?  Already I'm Bah Humbugging.  And it only gets worse.  Humbug.

So, to try and put myself into a better mood (and disguise my disdain for the season) I'm one of those folks who decorates the entire house, then bakes like there's no tomorrow.  

So, I thought, since I'm unemployed (Bah!!) and will have LOTS more time to bake, I need some more new recipes.  I've found a few in books and magazines and FoodNetwork.com, but I thought...what about YOU?  What do you like to bake for the holidays...and do you want to share?

I'll start...my recipe will be under the fold....

Hey Campers! Voting is now open for the Season of Our Discontent contest and will be through December 10. :D We have 58 fantastic entries!!!!  If you're all caught up on reading, please hop over and vote for your favorite 5. If not, go read now!

Thanks to all the authors who submitted a one shot for the contest. You guys are awesome. :)

CHRISTMAS!!

I have just bossed my christmas shopping online and bar a couple of little things i'm done! (omg last years debacle with the Uk's snowpocalypse/snowmageddon/end of the world as we snow it means that i actually decided to be proactive this year)

I also got a £10 Amazon voucher for answering a couple of surveys so all in all my pressies came to about £35 for 7 gifts which really quite good as nearly eveything is a book/cd/dvd.

SO, lovely people of the forest....

Have you been good and already played santa or are you more a panic-buy-anything-that-is-remotely-noncrappy-on-xmas-eve person?

Okay, I know this is a couple days late, but screw it, we need to talk about this.

So...what did you think of the reveal? One theory from the last campfire has been proven correct, while another has proven to be one hell of a red herring. Poor Vivien is in a nightmare while Violet's in her own twisted version of Romeo and Juliet, and Tate has turned out to be much more twisted than anticipated (or maybe we did anticipate this, we just didn't want it to be true...).

Meanwhile, Ben has become the oblivious puppet for his now-dead, psychotic ex-mistress, while the threat of whatever's growing  in Vivien's womb is coming closer to unveiling.

Share your theories and rant about your content or discontent with the direction the story has taken. :)

I just love this gif :p

*WARNING, spoilers inside. ;)

My big Black Friday splurge was a new beautiful Droid Razr. I ordered it online and should be getting it Tuesday. My only problem is I have no idea what apps I should get. 

So, my question for all of the lovely droid owners. What are the apps that you can't live without? or even the ones that are a ton of fun to pass the time.

Looking for something to do with the kids over the holiday season?

I found this cool craft that my boys and I are going to do tomorrow.....SOCK SNOWMEN!!!

I'm sure everyone has those single socks laying around so here is a cool way to use them.

I got the idea from this blog http://thenshemade.blogspot.com/2011/01/sock-snowmen.html and she lists step by step instructions

My 6 year old is going to give the ones he makes out as Christmas gifts.

To make this interactive, share your fun holiday crafts because I am always looking for things to make with my boys.

I know there was a recent cf on his randomness plus all you Americans are probably still eating/can't breath from eating, but whatsmynom was linking this last night and it's so funny

Pls, sb make and post a gif from the third part of the Jimmy Kimmel interview (at around 2:00), where he talks about how he wasn't allowed to show thrusting much, "just the tip" omg (and his parents were there lol) ETA here (taken from here: :

"“What do you have in common with Edward Cullen?”

Rob - “I look a bit like him.”

"Help me understand RPattz fever, man"

"Um... They just gotta... People have just to sleep with me, I guess. Then they'll know."
