I was chatting to Camilla10 yesterday, and this issue came up. (It was basically raised by moi)

I thought I remembered Edward telling Bella about a vampire named Atreus/Atreas as the oldest documented or the first created or something to the similar effect.

But I'm having my doubts about it now. Since Camilla was not familiar with whatever the hell I was talking about, I thought I'd check with you guys here.

Do I remember it right (or close to right), or did my brain just decided to plant it there? Is there a mention of a first vampire in Twilight anywhere? Does the lexicon mention it? I don't have it, so I'm in the dark.

Please halp me u guise, my brain is on an itch of sorts that won't go away!

Does anyone else here love the 1980s movie Labryinth with David Bowie? Well I do!

And much like the twi-fandom, many of the Labryinth Fanfics surpass the original movie. (and are of a more adult nature).

Although let's be honest, David Bowie's pants were of a very adult nature.

My favorite Labryinth fanfictions are easily:

So do you like the movie Labryinth, have you ever read Labryinth fanfiction.

I promise you!

There's a lot of great Laby fiction out there!

LOL. I kid, I kid.

No, but seriously, though. Inside Man updated and I don't know what it is about this chapter, but I'm officially in love with this fic now.  And I wanna talk. I wanna share my... discontent with Rosalie. 'Cause honestly? I felt myself getting angry right along with Edward because Rosalie couldn't stop being nosy.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LATEST CHAPTER, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

Well... first of all, hi everybody :)

I've been here for a while now reading and commenting stuff and silliness, but this is my first campfire.

I know that probably a lot of you guys have a lot of more important things to care about, and I know that I should be discussing this with my friends or whatever but they are not with me right now and I need to give vent to what I'm feeling right now.

So, I'm from Chile and I'm a college student. All students have been on strike since MAY because they're protesting for better education. Because of the protesters and this huge problem, I only got to finish the first semester. 

Now, we're supposed to go back to shool and start the second semester (though the protesters are not giving up and this thing has become something really violent) and I'm going to be in classes until march. MARCH! While all my family and friends are gonna be in the beach partying and having fun, I'm gonna have to be studying and finishing the semester that was supposed to be finished by this month, because the academic year here, starts in march and ends in december.

I'm not having summer break or christmas break or whatever break. I'm gonna be in school like from now on until june next year?

So yeah. I want to kill myself and my birthday is gonna suck, and etc etc etc.

I'm not even part of this social movement and I'm paying the price for this 'student revolution'.

And sorry for being boring and stuff. I just needed to say this :(

You want to give vent to anything? Or maybe laugh at me? Well, this is the place.

Remember the TwiKinkMeme? Yeah, we miss it too.

So we've resurrected it!

Ok, ok... I know there are a TON of militaryward fics out there, and I admit that I haven't read any of them.  Normally, that's not my sort of thing.  BUT, I just returned from seeing The Blue Angels fly in an air show here in Jacksonville, and I am seriously jonesin' for a good military fic, preferably one where Edward is a smoking hot and cocky fighter jet pilot.  Any ideas?  I prefer angst.  I'm not big on lots fluff, but if it's well written, I'll consider reading anything.  Also, completed is preferable to WIPs.  TIA for any suggestions! 

And my rec is:  DRUMROLL, please, because this gem deserves a standing ovation, and I'm not just saying that because I beta this fic.  I'm saying this because Antiques Roadshow by aerobee82 is one of the best AU fics out there right now.  It's funny and sweet and a refreshing spin on canon.  I challenge you not to fall head over heels in love with her oh so endearing Edward.  And her Bella is mature and sophisticated, but funny as hell, too.  So what are you waiting for?  Go on... read up!

Antiques Roadshow
I took an antique in for appraisal, only to find a much rarer treasure. I met Bella Swan on Antiques Roadshow, and PBS would never want for funds again. Canon couples, Vamps/Humans.

This is my first campfire! I feel nervous ^.^

Well here ago:

I notice that lately all the fanfics I read are full of angst..... I hate angst!

Well not all types of angst: I am ok with the angst in Our Yellow House, yet the angst in Pinky Swear kills me.

Don't get me wrong I love both stories and I can't stop reading them, but sometimes it makes me want to cry or punch my laptop.

Fics like Lovegame and Open Up Next to You are others that I love, and they still kill me inside.

So, does this happen to you guys too? Don't you feel like all good fics and full of angst and it hurt, but it hurts so good!? 

I honestly think angst follows me.

This has actually been on my mind for some time now, but after a roast  discussion on Anne Rice's Facebook page this morning, I've been pushed over the edge. 

Rice said the following and posted a link (below): I had no idea my vain(?) attempt at a little humor would prompt this extended discussion. What DO vampires mean to people!

(THIS IS THE REASON THAT SPARKED DEBATE, BTW.)

Most of them responded with comments such as:

In my honest opinion, vampires do not SPARKLE!!!!

• • •

 I think its completely disgusting to even compare Anne's Vampire world to the sparkling teenage drivel that is twilight! 

• • •

Vampires really shouldn't sparkle, & they should have fangs...

• • •

Twilight Vamps Sparkle during the day... REALLY ?Wow! Gross!

Don't get me wrong. I do enjoy Rice's books, but there seems to be a uniformed opinion in her "camp" about Meyer's vamps and their diamond-like appearance. I get it. They shimmer in the sunlight. They're different, (if you excuse the Southern expression) like a white cow in a pasture of black cows, and everyone has to point it out.  Why do people care so much about whether or not vampires have a little extra glitter? Is it because these FICTIONAL beings weren't written that way for centuries so it automatically makes it a law for their mythology? 

It's frustrating. So, I ask:

If Twilight vampires didn't sparkle, would people take the series more seriously like they do with Anne Rice's, The Vampire Chronicles? 

If there were no sparkles, glitter or disco balls, and instead they had fangs and went *POOF* in the sun, how different would this series be? Would they be more sinister? Would you still have read and/or watched?

And mostly, what do vampires mean to you?

Thank you for humoring me. I'm going to fold the rest of my clothes, now.

So I am very late to jumping on this series.

Does anyone know where I can watch the first two episodes of the current season. I watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix and most of the 3rd season on hulu.

I am sucked in and I just want to know what happened.

Thanks!

So, this May 'til August, I was best friend's with this guy I worked with, Chris. He and I did a lot of tedious work, so we spent most of our time chatting about our mutual hate of Pitbull and the radio station that feels the need to remix Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" so they can play it at all the hoppin' clubs in Saskatoon.

One day, our conversation turned over to the Twilight series. He started ranting about how stupid it was, and he looked at me and said, "I don't even need to ask if you hate it. I know you wouldn't dare buy into that shit."

Out loud I said, "Yeah, the whole thing is ridiculous." And I do think that the original series and movies are ridiculous. (Sparkling vampires? Girls that have no backbone? Boys that wait for marriage? Woodland creatures for wigs? Kristen Stewart? WTF?)

But inside, I was like, "LOLOLOL, if you only knew how much Twilight fanfiction I read/write, you'd probably have a stroke, my friend."

Has this happened to you? Do you share your "secret" life with people in real life?

O...M...G...  I'm sure you peoples hate me.

SO SORRY!!!

That its been forever.  It's been super crazy on my end.  I got a new position at work and I just signed up for a dating website yesterday and might have a meeting with a guy tonight so I'm freaking out.  AHHHHHH!  I'm going out so I'll comment when I return.

Okay anywho back to the purpose here.  How have you guys been?  Are you guys still doing okay.  I'll do better at keeping this up now.  I think life is finally simmering down on the crazy note. 

24/7 Support - ADF Fit Club LJ Community
 

Also its never too late to join in. ; )

Any fic recommendations where either E or B is lawyer and the other is the client of her/his?

Recommendation:

I read this short and sweet fic today. It was great.

Heart Never Listens

Bella Swan and Edward Cullen were in love. But what happens when Edward's parents choose Bella for Emmett- elder brother of Edward?

Okay, so what has happened to our fitness club here on ADF? I know I joined a bit late but I looked forward to this weekly campfire.

As a dieter I find that I am pretty private when it comes to losing weight. As a rule I am the type who needs accountability more than a cheering squad (at least in person) But I really miss the comments and encouragement from my fellow campers.

I recently lost a lot of weight- over fifty pounds. (Not gonna lie-I feel like sqealing-it feels sooo good to look like my old self again.)  Now I need to keep it off, and since the holidays are almost here I sure could use the support!

Where did everybody go? Was it only a summer fling? Can't we try again? I miss you guys! I NEED you guys!

Well, since it is free for all...still.

Sure,whenIwillbeabletoripTanya'sheadoff,incase,

Hell, this is the mess the damn ff net website made of the last chapter of Parachutist2 - Our new world. All the Italics are like this. I NEED to use Italics to relate the thoughts of people! What should I do to avoid that this happens? Since most of you posts on ff net, can you help me?

Well, since I am at it, this an image related to the chapter. It describes my mood perfectly!

Edanakin: Facial hair - check. Hoodie - check. But where are my Raybans? Must. Brood.

Bellamidala: Oh Hottie with Hoodie! Me likey! Approaches Hottie with Hoodie. I offer you my precious flower.

Edanakin: I don't like flowers.

Bellamidala: Take these buns then.

They make out.

Yoda-Condon materialises and wags a finger.

Yoda-Condon : Keep it PG-13, you must. Thrust, you must not. Otherwise, Summit, I mean, the Empire, can't maximise its profits by capitalising on the tween fanbase.

Deafening cries from Galaxy of Older Fans: GIVE US THE R-RATED DIRECTOR'S CUT DVD!!! WE WILL PAY!!!!

Taylor: Why am I in the corner? Nobody puts Taylor in the corner!!
 

Couldn't sleep. Found this ridiculous manip and thought I'd amuse myself...

Come share any awful/impressive manipulations/fan art you've found on the craziness that is the Interwebs. More inside.
 

Seeing as it's still free for all, might as well come out with it;

So I'm currently in the process of enlisting in the Air Force. I've completed the ASVAB test, provided the necessary documents, etc, now I'm just wating for when I can go get the Medical exam, and then hopefuly be sworn in.

I provided the aforementioned documents around the last week of September. I e-mailed my recruiter several times during the past month for an update, and didn't get a response until last Monday, which is unusual because ususally she responds back to me within a day or two of my messages. Now I'm afraid that this is going to be a repeat..

Relatives of mine who were in the military found this somewhat odd, based on their experiences. One of them said that if my recruiter was leaving the office for vacation or assignment or whatever, I'd get an automated e-mail message (because that's how I contacted her) that would state the given reason, which I've never recieved.

So i guess my question is: Is this normal? Have their been any similar experiences? Anyone actually IN the military that can provide an explanation for this? Or am I just being freakishly paranoid? (completely plausible, I have been known to obsess over tiny things, particularly in my writing *cough*Resent/Thunderbolt*cough*)

And to make this somewhat interesting, to any campers currently enlisted (airforce, marines, navy, army, etc.), or have in the past,  how has being enlisted affected YOUR fanfiction experience (reading/writing)? Ever incorporate any interesting experiences into your stories?

If I do get in (Last I heard, current wait for basic training, for the Air force at least, is six months), once I leave, I expect my readers will be in for a dry spell :p

To my readers, sorry in advance =(

and of course, for your viewing pleasure:

As you may know, since early July I've been on the road, doing my own version of a trip around the world. It's amazing! At the moment I'm in Melbourne and last week I met up with VampGirl and Demons4Eva (met SydneyGen in -duh- Sydney a couple of weeks ago) and we're going to a midnight BD viewing next week - so excited!!

However, as I was scouring through my folders upon folders of RobP0rn, looking for a fitting image to use as inspiration for my writing, I had to come to a sad conclusion:

Traveling significantly inhibits the expansion of my collection. Especially when it comes to news.

So my plea to all you Campers:

PLEASE HELP ME!

Share your favorite Rob pics with me - preferably recent shots (i.e. anything since July).

For instance, I just saw this pic of The Pretty in a suit with perfect scruff, from just a few days ago. Cue drool.

I'd like more of this, please.

Kthnxbai.

So I wrote this story that wouldn't quit until it all came out. It's a one-shot, about 2K words, angsty. I feel like I need to talk about it with people, because conversations get the creative juices flowing, and I could potentially expand the story.

So, if you don't mind a short read, I'd love to hear your thoughts:

Title: A Sound of Thunder
Genre(s): Angst/General
Rating: Rated: T
Summary: New Moon A/U. Bella stays on La Push, contemplating her life while
the wolves protect her from Victoria. We protect the people we love, don't we?

For your time:

Has anyone else heard of this??? I think its totally cool, creative, and looks like a TON of fun. My brother and my hubby think its lame and for losers only. Running around with a broom between your legs is admittedly a bit odd, but for serious HP fans, SO FUN!
