how about a BBC's pride & prejudice watchalong?

i have been wanting to do this for some time and felt that the opportunity had finally presented itself.

you, dear camper, are cordially invited to join me and the other campers in a concurrent viewing of jane austen's pride & prejudice, a production by the BBC starring king colin firth the first as fitzwilliam darcy and jennifer ehle as miss elizabeth bennett.

there are, in my opinion, a shocking number of you who have neither seen (nor read) pride & prejudice.

so, let us come together as friends and view this exquisite production together.

it is in 6 hour-long episodes, so i think we shall either enjoy two segments a day for three days, or one each day broken over two weeks. might you have an opinion as to which is the more preferable form of viewing?

i do hope you should endeavour to join us for this most exciting opportunity. please inform me of your intention to join in over the fire, and do allow me to tell you how ardently i admire and love you.

sincerely,

your uncle wtvoc, an ardent mr. darcy, and miss bennett's arched eyebrow

Forgive me if this has already been posted.

Hooray. (And I say that in the flattest voice imaginable). Evidently that Official Guide to the Twilight Saga that Stephenie Meyer was writing (which was SUPPOSED to be published well over a YEAR ago) is only 19 days away from release. With a list price of (are you ready for this?) $25.00 USD.

I don't care if it's hardcover, and I don't care if it's got 100 full-color illustrations throughout the book. There is no way some stupid "official guide" is worth twenty-five bucks. I didn't pay that much for the friggin NOVELS. If you plan to order (or pre-order) this book, get it on Amazon for $13.74. Personally, I'm still bitter that the publishers had it available for pre-order before she even finished writing the thing--and then she didn't have it ready by her deadline.

So, do you plan to read this one? Do you wish to continue giving Meyer your money for things that are not Midnight Sun? Do you think that, now that this book is out, we will actually SEE Midnight Sun in the future?

On WFE set.  More Behind the Scenes photos at robsessedpattinson.com, ladies!

To make this interactive:  Are you a a dog or cat person?

Awesomeness incarnated, Elizabeth Taylor (almost wrote Taylor Swift and have no idea why) has passed but I say the poor woman deserved a brake.

But to a completely different topic - I know that ff.net has been .. well a big meanie these last days and I can say that cos I´ve been disgustingly sick with nothing to do!  But I found an old jewel that I hope you will all enjoy, since most of us enjoy an non cheesy, well written fic.

Its a 12 chapters, completed with a Copward, AwesomenessBella who like Elizabeth (no offense to TayTay that Im actually comparing her to a fanfiction character) is all about overcoming adversity and being pretty kick ass while doing it.

The name is To serve and protect and its so badly worth reading and I can´t belive the low comment count.  At least read the first few lines, i only recommend awesomeness.

ps., Jandco - I´ve been sick and started reading Cullens Island .. do you see where I´m going with this?

I was always fascinated by Elizabeth Taylor's life, but the one thing that really reeled me in was her passionate, tumultuous love affair with Richard Burton. Look at them.

R.I.P. Elizabeth. You were a true star.

Let's discuss true love and great love affairs in this post.

is saying her goodbye.. FAP and it's last chapter and her long good bye are up. We'll miss her or at least I  will. your thoughts? 

I just voted for the MTV movie awards.  Do you think Twilight will win any category?  Or is the hype over?  If you do think they'll win, which category?

I think Rob and Kristen have won Best Kiss the last couple of years, but I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that JGL and Ellen Page will win for Inception.

I didn't vote for Twilight once.

It was just brought to my attention that this is just to nominate movies...so the question changes: do you even think they will be nominated?

Do original characters tick you off or rub you the wrong way? Or, do you have absolutely no problem with them and actually seek them out? Come post, talk, debate, WRITE ANGRILY, and such like and tell me why or why not you like original characters

I just saw We Were Here updated and WOOOOOW! I so have to discuss this with someone...anyone? Please Mrs. Rangers' can I post this? LOL

Ranger Edit: OF Course! This updated and I DIDN'T GET MY EMAIL. Grrrrrrrrr.

No, no that kind of hog.   A MOTORCYCLE one:

  Or more likely:

According to THIS, Rob has been given a script for a movie called Akira based on series of graphic novels.

"The script for the Warner Bros/Legendary Pictures live action adaptation of anime artist Katsuhiro Otomo’s 6-volume graphic novel Akira has been sent to a short list of actors. The picture is finally taking shape for an August start, following the delivery of a rewrite by Steve Kloves that has director Albert Hughes and the studio brass excited. The story takes place in the rebuilt New Manhattan where a leader of a biker gang saves his friend from a medical experiment. There are two major roles, and I’m told that for Tetsuo, Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield and James McAvoy have been given the new script. For the role of Kaneda, the script has been given to Garrett Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake and Joaquin Phoenix. The two leads are expected to come from that group of actors."

Link to original Akira storyline

I still have to find out more about Akira the graphic novels, but maybe we'll get to see Rob poppin' a wheelie and wearing one of these ensembles; maybe?

How about it?  Can you picture Rob doing this type of super powered/ super hero role?

Want to know what is UPDATING?

With FFN in meltdown, this may be the place to be!

Hi, as I too am not getting alerts from ff net I have nothing to read - sigh. So I am trying to locate an old story :"I don't exist". (Bella lost her memory and married Mike, Edward stopped to be a vegetarian ... then she has cancer, they meet again in New York...) I know it has been pulled out but somebody gave me a link, a sort of archives where it could be found again. I want this particular story, but in any case to know where to go would be very useful.

Thanks a lot

IN TEN MINUTES I GOT IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYBODY.

So I have something to re-.read until fanfiction net starts sending me updates. (But I checked many of the stories I am on alert for, and they have not been updated - so authors also have their problems).

Voting in the ADFFCC will close at Midnight Tommorow. Results will be posted on Thursday.

Do you read it? Waiting on it to complete? I saw the thread on Twilighted active, so I looked in and alicedances posted.

"'I'm alive, I promise! I know it's the excuse everyone gives, but real life has kicked me in the ass repeatedly. Just before I disappeared in the fall of 2009, I told you my fur baby had just been diagnosed with sudden blindness. Well, his heath continued to deteriorate, which took an serious emotional toll on me and the hubby, and we finally lost little Merlin in December. Then we welcomed a new pup to the family, and I swear she's possessed, so I have even less time that before - even though I'm in a better head-space. I even had to give up my validation beta role here on Twilighted because I just had no time for it.

I can tell you that I do still plan on finishing MIA. But here's the question for you: would you guys be happy with just the epi? It's the final normal chapter that's been stalling me - the epi's already half written. So, what say you?

Is anyone else having a hard time managing their hair?  I think it might be my advanced age (32, yet still dramatic) but my hair is looking really damaged lately.  It's become very frizzy and pretty much looks awful if I don't flat iron it.  I don't know if I am coloring it too much (every six weeks to keep gray away) or if my hair is just changing.  Prob both. 

Anyway, I've been reading up on going without shampoo, meaning using conditioner to wash your hair.  I've heard from a few friends who do it with great results.  Anyone here do this?  Any tips or any other ideas to get hair looking healthy again?

Approved by the lovely GAW!

So... I finally finished editing my latest chapter and wentt to post it last night, and I can't. I can upload it to my document manager but when I click on my story to actually add the chapter to it, I get an error message with ff.net's old logo. Support has remained conspicuously silent on this subject so far.

Has this happened to anyone else? Did anybody add a chapter last night without any trouble? I'm about to throw my computer across the room, here.
