The Rangers will gather round the campfire and announce the winner in a few hours.....

Thank you all so much for participating-such incredible talent!

So I'm trying to study... and I was reading about gestational diabetes.  And it made me think about this fic (or I think it was one and then a sequel?) where Edward is a doctor but also a prince.  And he comes to the US and he and Bella meet.  But then he goes back to where ever he's from... blah blah, they get married and they are trying to have a baby before skanky Tanya does.  Anyway, I remember this Bella having some kind of serious pregnancy issues which I *think* was gestational diabetes.  But she swells up.  And the baby is over its due date, and Edward has to schmex it out of her. 

Okay, I know that was one of those stories where I should have said, "and then I found five dollars" at the end.  But this is taking up the brain power trying to figure it out that should be used to learn about pregnancy...

So, go go gadget FOREST!

Hello!

I'm looking for two stories. I can't find them on ff.net, and can't remember their names and theirs authors.

First: it's a o/s I think. Jasper is very sick and he needs a donnor. But after his parents, carlisle & esme gives their blood, they learn Jasper is actually not their son. (There was an exchange of babies when he was born I think.) To save Jasper, Carlisle and Esme need to find Jasper's real parents, and so their real son Edward. angst and family.

The second one is a multi chap fic. Rosalie and Jasper are brother and sister. One day at school, Jasper is kidnapped. After that, their father can't cope and kills himself, so Rosalie go to live with the cullen. The police find Jasper months later but he need to learn to live again with the help of rosalie, alice, and the cullen.

My rec:

Tripod by Vampirelover44.  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5176942/1/

Tragedy befalls the cullen family when one member falls dangerously ill. A tale of overcoming life's kinks as a family.AH. J/Ed/Emm
Twilight - Rated: M - English - Angst/Family - Chapters: 56 - Words: 231,127 - Reviews: 488 - Updated: 11-6-09 - Published: 6-29-09 - Jasper - Complete

Beautiful written. Story about love and family. Very poignant, and one of my favorite.

thank you

Ps: sorry for the first post without the rec!

. . . but Inside Man updated.

I want to know your thoughts, if you're still curious enough to read, like I am. Because, honestly? You know the saying, curiosity kills the cat? Yeah, well, mine's killed the cat a thousand times over. So if you've read the update, what'd you think about it? Bella's reaction when Edward told her? Edward reporting the incident to Esme, but not the fact that he was hit? If, in fact, I probably am the only one here that's still reading, and no one cares anymore, then this campfire will just... die. Slowly. Slowly. Slooooooowly . . .

I'll put my thoughts inside. Though, to be quite honest, it's really not a whole lot.

When I was reading all of the great recommendations in the recent campfire, I thought "I hope they are on the Master Fic List." So, my thought was to post a campfire reminding those that recommend things, to check it and make sure it's on there and if it's not, to put it on there. I know I use the MFL a lot and I'm sure others do too.

Thanks!

OH.  WHAT IS THIS.  IT'S ROB AND KRISTEN SHARING THE SAME FRIENDS AND STUFF.

She really does look beautiful.

2nd cf from me, but, come on, it's Lust on a deathbed. Perfect and permanent

No cf on the final chapter and epilogue? I loved this story in the beginning (esp. chapter 14 because of my sick obsession with Edwardian angst), and I actually did like what I read today. Fluffy or not.

Hey,

So I'm going on a bit of a road trip with some friends next week and I am in desperate need of new music to listen to! 19 hours in a car... I'll go crazy without some good music! I've listened to everything on my ipod sooooo many times that I've pretty much become sick of it all. I'm also sick of almost everything and anything you hear on the radio! I love music but at the same time I'm starting to hate it! I need stuff that will renew my faith in music.

What I'm looking for is stuff you probably won't hear on the radio, I mostly like rock/punk music, however I also like alot of other stuff too. My musical tastes are wide and varied, however I am also picky about what I hear, I like music with meaning! I'm tired of hearing all the sad love songs and brake up songs, orignal music about orignal things is what I crave!

So what are your suggestions? If you don't have a praticular song or artist do you know of a place (online) where can I look for new unheard of music, I guess it's what is possibly referred to as "the underground music scene" (I kinda feel lame saying that lol).

Whatever you have to offer I'm willing to listen (with the exception of country music... It's one of the few genres I can't stand :-s) !

<3

RANGER EDIT:  Because original music is cool, I'm not making this go away. PLEASE REMEMBER, though, to keep posts ON TOPIC, per the RULES & FAQ.  This makes a GREAT FFAF post.  Otherwise, in the future ASK A RANGER FIRST.  Thank you.

THIS IS THE PLACE FOR:

"Ugh! I forgot the name of this fic!"

"I am really in the mood for something about..."

"I forgot how to..."

"The new site is great! But how do you...?"

Thank you for the sticky, mystery ranger!

Hi...

this is my first campfire ever...I'm looking for a fic that I've read a long time ago...I was sure it was in my favourite list but I can't find it and I can't remember the title...

In this story Edward and Bella are married...They met in high school, Edward is friend with jake and james which are kind of assholes. Edward is very rich and always afraid that girls are after him for his money...when he meets Bella it's love, but james hate her and find a trick to mess with her pill and she falls pregnant...Edward think Bella is trying to make Edward marry her so he leaves her and she lose the baby....

Any idea? I really want to re-read it...so if it rings any bells please help me :)

Here's my rec

Beautiful Savage: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6867084/1/

Summary: After getting lost in the woods on a camping trip, Bella finds a man who is living a different life. Can two such different worlds mesh when communication is nearly impossible?

It's very well written and has a very good plot :)

ps. if I've done something wrong with this campfire, rangers feel free to cancel it :)

EDIT: I don't know how I've created an empty campfire before this...I'm trying to delete it but I can't.. I'm very sorry :((( I don't know how I've done it :(((

Hey guys, I wanna talk theories . . . . so get in here!

If you haven't read this story yet, what are you waiting for, it's amazing, and insanely (ha literally) engrossing. The brilliance is in the way it's told, the mystery of it all.

"'Mad,'" Ugo Betti once said, "is a term we use to describe a man who is obsessed with one idea and nothing else."

(P.S. there WILL be spoilers, enter at own risk)

Sorry! I forgot to include a rec last time. Lately I've been loving "The Art Of Breaking" by jdbeaner.

Summary: They were so different. Different goals, different friends, different worlds. Maybe even different gods...if he even believed in God. She didn't know. What she did know was that she wanted him…badly. (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6192792/1/The_Art_of_Breaking) I can't wait for the next update!

The fic I'm looking for:

Edward was a piano prodigy, but, grew tired of the fame and felt that he was mismanaged. He is now a composer and lives in a cabin alone in the woods. I think he is lacking inspiration for his new pieces. Bella is a university student on a class trip in the woods and she gets lost. She comes across Edward's cabin and he takes her in. Bella is a fan of his music and realizes who he is. Edward is wary of Bella and isn't exactly friendly. Bella feels like an inconvenience, though as much as she feels she should go, she wants to stay. At some point there is a storm, and Edward uses a radio to contact police/rangers to let them know of Bella's whereabouts (I think). Edward may also own a dog. I'm not sure if this story was ever finished.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

Still not sure if I'm doing this right. Please let me know, and sorry for any trouble!

Recently I have begun a love affair with the idea of Sam/Bella lovin'. I've been reading Holding Sam by MeraNaamJoker (@in_purdah, on Twitter) and I am in love. I am a huge fan of the non-canon, so I honestly can't say enough about this fic and I would love to see my fellow non-canon fans try it out!

I have to ask the question, though: In Bella/Vamp fics, the ultimate goal is *eternity*, so what happens in Wolf/Bella fics if eternity is not an option?

If no one has tried reading Holding Sam, I dare you to try it. It is so wonderful...
