What are the biggest differences you see between published books and fanfiction?

I realize that in fiction stories, there has to be deeper character development bc the stigmas of the Twilight characters are not attached to them already. Even when reading non canon ff, you still associate certain things with each character, right?

What things to do think work in fanfiction that would also work in books? Different point of views? One point of view?
Third person writing?

Did you forget the name of a fanfic?

Do you have a burning question about a fanfic?

Do you have a request for a fanfic?

Do you have a burning question about ADF?

Do you have a request that doesn't fit in to all of the above?

This is the place to ask and answer.

This is the place for help :)

I know that I have seen this mentioned before. Does anyone else think these two look alike?

This gorgeous pic in it's entirety, showing sexspenders and boots.

and now, for interactivity:

Do you actually know anyone who wears suspenders?

Does your man wear boots?  Cowboy or DM's? 

I can't get my husband to wear boots, damnit, unless we're hiking or gardening.

So i just recently seen the something borrowed movie trailer based on the Emily Giffin novel something borrowed.

Here's the description from goodreads:

Rachel White is the consummate good girl. A hard-working attorney at a large Manhattan law firm and a diligent maid of honor to her charmed best friend Darcy, Rachel has always played by all the rules. Since grade school, she has watched Darcy shine, quietly accepting the sidekick role in their lopsided friendship. But that suddenly changes the night of her thirtieth birthday when Rachel finally confesses her feelings to Darcy's fiance, and is both horrified and thrilled to discover that he feels the same way. As the wedding date draws near, events spiral out of control, and Rachel knows she must make a choice between her heart and conscience. In so doing, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk everything to be true to yourself.

Now i haven't read the book but watching the trailer makes me want to read it, but first i want to know if theres any twilight fanfiction where Bella falls in love with her best friend's fiance. the fiance being Edward of course lol.

Any recommendations????? please : )

So...

I'm gonna be in San Fran 4/30-5/8.  My husband is going down for work and they're letting me go with this time.

Any campers around there want to recommend stuff for me to do during the days since I'l be all by my lonesome when he's working?  Perhaps get an ADF meetup going on while I'm down there??

I can't wait to meet any of you who'd be around!

I looove the Master Fic list on ADF but I didn't see any fic lists that feature Bella as a child growing up in The Cullen Family. I am looking for some new spice to add to my Fic closet since it is always full. hehehe...

Fanfics that feature Bella, "young, orphaned, abandoned, kidnapped or whatever" but the main plot has to be that she was young and is now growing up in the Cullen Household as one of their own only to fall in love later with Edward/etc. Also, any fics where Alice saw Bella was destined to be with Edward from birth is welcome here as well. Recommend away below. Thanks for your help!

Today, I went to Nando's with hubby.

As I walked in, I saw a RPattz lookalike. It was awesome.

We were with two other couples but we happened to sit right next to this guy's booth. I discreetly pointed him out to hubby [Seriously, I need some Twi-obsessed friends in RL]...and hubby goes, "See? I told you RPattz-look-alikes are a dime a dozen, but this guys is better looking."

As if.

So, anyway...hubby offered to switch seats with me so I could get a better look [and yep, he looked like RPattz].

This got me thinking - Have you ever seen RPattz in real life? Or a lookalike...of him or anyone from Twilight...what did you do?

What would you do if you saw RPattz in real life?

Also, if you'd like to post pics of Twilight cast lookalikes, please do so....

Okay seriously, remember when Matthew Lewis Neville was all awkward and had HUGE teeth?  

When did he get hot?

And this picture makes me laugh.

You'd think he was Robert Pattinson or something, lol.

To make this interactive, which of the HP cast do you think has changed the most over the years?  Or post more pics of Matthew Lewis or something, idk.

I hope this is allowed since it's about one of our own.

Has anyone heard from wonkeygirl since her post back on April 1st?  I'm just concerned for her and she hasn't posted her current status.

So did anyone else get this or thinking about getting it? 

I got my copy today and I won't lie, I'm more impressed than I thought I would be. 

What are your thoughts?

p.s this is about Twilight so I didn't need permission right? (see I get easily confused hense why I usually wait till fridays before posting lol)

Are they a thing of the past? I used to see people asking and talking about WC's all the time, day and night, but not any more!

I love them, because for someone like me who has a hard time getting motivated to write, and staying motivated, they work great! Having to answer to someone that knows you're writing keeps the momentum going!

So do you WC? And if you do, WHEN? And with who? If you have the same people you WC with, can others join? 

Maybe we could do some gchat or skype exchanging too... 

First off, I need to apologize for not starting a RobP0rn campfire in a while. I've been busy with work and preparations for my Thai/Aus/Hawaii travels and BFF's upcoming nuptials. To make it up to you, I've thought of a special topic for this one, to make it count.

Which brings me to another reason for both my lack in posting and my inspiration for this campfire. Over the weekend, I've started reading First & Ten by Nolebucgrl and have fallen in love with her QBward, buff and romantic star quarterback and proud owner of Zeus. She's also tweeted some awesome manips featuring him which left me drooling...

So, this campfire deals with hot manips featuring The Pretty. Let's see what the fandom can come up with in that department!

FYT

Thomas McDonell is the new Robert Pattinson. In my deluded little world, anyway.

Ignore that prom movie you see him all over. He's also going to be playing a young Johnny Depp for Tim Burton.

Anyway.

http://www.interviewmagazine.com/culture/thomas-mcdonell/

You should watch that interview. he's...with his art. in a studio. being hot. Thomas McDonell Robert Pattinson is so hot.

feel free to post pictures of T.D. here. Or Robert Pattinson, if you want. Or debate who is better looking (please, let's keep it shallow) because I'm not sure. It's no secret that I'm a fan based on physical appearance only, and now I have no idea where my vapid, superficial loyalties belong. This is a very stressful time for me. HELP.

OK so I have a little dilemma! Hubby was invited to his sister's wedding & he, in no way in hell, wants to go because he thinks she is ruining her life marrying who she's marrying. Now none of us really get along & he invited her to our wedding in Feb, not really because he wanted her there, but because it was expected of him from his family. Now, her wedding is about 4 weeks away & she sent him a message via facebook saying "oh just letting you know if you wanted to come to the wedding let me know." Which to me, obviously states she doesn't really want him there but it's expected from the family you know? (same as us) So because he doesn't want to go (and I think she knows this) I've replied (because he'd straight out say hell to the no & would start fights) that he's not sure & what are the details & he'll get back to her. So my question. How to say no in a polite way that won't come back & bite him (or us) on the ass?

I was going to say "no sorry I can't make it just a promotion (which he did) and dont want to take days off work because i'm training at the moment." Does that sound like bullcrap? Like I'm SURE she knows that he will say no, but I don't want to start fights, as she came to ours & could have easily just said no because of the strained relationship between us all...... DID THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?

OK for interaction. If you were invited to E/B wedding would you go? If not how would you decline? I'd say "Only if you actually seem HAPPY ABOUT IT BELLA. Sheesh."

It's nighttime or early morning for some. Let's have a CHILL post. Post anything you want in here-rants, music, pics, musings, ramblings, drabbles, whatever....
