Hello all. Good Monday Morning!

So I'm sure that everyone is enjoying tooling around on the new site and I have to say my favorite part is that I can now see how much time of my life I have wasted long I've been a camper here.

I grabbed my pillow and bag of marshmallows on November 2, 2009.

I'VE BEEN HERE ALMOST 2 YEARS???

Where did the time go?

My challenge to you all is to go to the right sidebar there and click on your name. It'll take you to your profile.

Find the date that you joined and come back and comment here with it.

Let's see who has camper start date twins.

And hey, if while you're there you notice that you haven't done your bio, etc, go ahead and fix that. You can get to edit your profile under the Control Panel > General Settings. You can even add links for your Twitter, LJ, FB (you might be braver than me on this one), Blogger, etc (see: I can't remember the rest) 

Okay, first off, OMG on the new site guys. It's supremely awesome, I love checking out everyone's profiles & seeing who's noticed you can play with them yet and things. Very fun.

Also, love the layout, it's amazeballs. Seriously.

Now, on to the topic of this campfire :).

So I saw this on tumblr:

I don't know if it's fanmade, but essentially it's just a blown up version of Bella & Edward from this: 

Now, personally, I hate this poster. I think everyone looks plastic & fake, and what is going on with Kristen's hair? And Rob's face? Come on people!

But we've had this conversation.

So what I want to know is:

First: Of all the movie's so far what has been your favourite official poster?

Second: Have you seen any that you think are better?

'Cause the internet is huge and full of talented photoshoppers, I have seen some fairly decent 'posters' that I'm not sure are official or not.

mine shall be in the comments :)

Everyone's kind reviews have driven me -- driven me -- to finish Chapter 11 (The Fever & The Fury) from "substance clad in shadows" before the work week begins. A big chubby thank you to everyone supporting this story...

Click on the banner for the update. Do not read this chapter at work.

Happy Monday!

So it's been while, but I just got a jones for some reading some good twific and stumbled across "Through the Flames" by SparklingTwilight. I just have to saw WOOOOW. It was such an incredible read! I now have a newfound crush on Firefighter Edward! I read the entire story in one day it was that good.

Has anyone else read this story? I like that this Edward was much more vulnerable than we usually see him, and that Jasper just could not get his crap together. Overall the Cullens were a mess and the the Swans had it all together, and I rarely see that in fanfic - usually the Cullens are picture perfect. Anyone know more stories like this, where the Cullens struggle a little bit more with real life?

So this is just me, showing my love for SparklingTwilight, and her story! I love ADF :) I love Twilight:) And I now love the hotness that is Edward in a fireman getup :) That is all  :)

Here's the link if you wanna check it out. There's drama, laughter, tears (lot's of), and of course Love:

Hi!  

A big question of the evening is about your favorites.  I totally understand. MY favorites list includes ALL THE MASTER FIC LIST LISTS.

*Cough* you can find the Master Fic List much more easily now. See the menu bar on the right? =====>  

Down on the very bottom of it is a little bar that says Master Fic List.

Huzzah!!!!

So. To find your favorites:

Go to your profile. On the top of that sidebar menu you should see YOUR NAME.  Click on it to find your profile.

On your profile, you will find a link that says, "View this person's favorites."

Then you will see that your favorites survived the move intact.

ETA: Leaving the "& Other Queries" up here in case something else needs to be included. :)

P.S. This is my very first post as an ADF Ranger. I am all kinds of excited to be on board. :)

You, dear campers, spoke.

We heard.

Chapter 14 of Beautiful Sorrow updated at FF. Would love to hear your thoughts:)

I'm stoked! The author is reposting this OUTSTANDING story. Fortunately, I had read and downloaded it before she removed it. I HIGHLY recommend this story.

The Secret Room
COMPLETED-Reposted. Edward never returned after Bella's 18th birthday, but he does after Bella's death at age 68, and he finds Isa, Bella's grand-daughter. See what Bella left for Isa in her Secret Room. NO TRANSLATIONS ALLOWED.
Twilight - Rated: M - English - Romance/Hurt/Comfort - Chapters: 6 - Words: 56,524 - Reviews: 1 - Published: 8-21-11 - Edward - Complete

I have just seen the advertising for Crushed Seraphim, a story I read to the end, but confused me, so I did not even save it. Bella was a fallen Angel, but for noble reasons (There was a power war in Heaven and HE seemed distracted), Edward was a vampire (he was in canon, as charcters go - while the story was wildly AU) and there was also a Devil, who was not a bad Devil, after all, only highly sexed.

The point I want to make is this: The story has been published. You can order and buy it (So I suppose it has been pulled, now). If Edward, even with a different name is still a vamp, described according to Canon, how is SM copiright circumvented? I thought that this was the main reason wy we, authors of AU fanfic with vampires, (ones where the vampires are not, say, Dracula like, but follow Stephenie's mythology), cannot ever put our stories out in the publishing wiord. The real one.

Does anybody know more and can explain?

WOW, SO MANY INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL ANSWERS. THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

So a friend of mine just posted this on her fb page and about I spit Dr. Pepper all over my compter.  Did this make the rounds and I just missed it?  It is just so well done!!

a secret

it doesn't have to be anything scandalous

Another Ranger is chiming in to say dont hesitate to reveal the scandalous as it is  always delicous ;)

your desktops!

mine is inside.

Is anyone reading this? I read it a while back but don't remember most of it. I guess I need to re-read! lol

Come snotsob with me

Link to the story

For those who'd like to know...

Ch 10 ("Prim, Pretty Thing") is now up. :)

So I need some guidance...

I've got some big bra buddies and from time to time I will get complimented on them or I'll get the stare down.  I'm only 5 foot so its quite obvious when the neck strands just that much more to look down.  I've even had a wink or two thrown my way.  Attention is nice but sometimes I wish I could deflat the beasts when I don't want the attention.

My question here is what consitutes someone being a creep or slimey?  Is it our notion of the fishing guy (or hell maybe a girl) not being cute so we just put them in the creep catagory?  Maybe its just the actions that alert the attention.  

I was out to lunch today with my roommates when a guy walked past and before the guy could past it was a dead lock on my boobs with nothing being said other than "those are nice."  So it just got me thinking...is it creepy to be complimented like that?  But its also not like he said it too my face but under his poor failed tempt at saying it under his breath.

Please post your favorites for the other fandoms you follow (and don't forget to favorite this campfire so that you don't lose it).
