Today is Justin Bieber's 17th birthday, OMG

but i have a question...

Do you care about Celeb birthday's? Especially celebs that you really like?

fyt:

Do you ever ask yourself...

WHAT HAS BILLY BURKE BEEN UP TO?

I DO ALL THE TIME

LET'S FIND OUT

First up he's got the movie with Nicholas Cage coming out DRIVE ANGRY (it might already be in theatres, idk)

Second, he's going to be in Red Riding Hood, the red version of Twilight. (I hope he's the wolf, tbh)


I was going to post the trailer for it, but he's not really in it.

AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.

OH, AND HIS MUSIC CAREER.

He's been filming Breaking Dawn, but everyone knows that.

let's talk about how amazing and handsome he is.

I didn't notice this pic posted anywhere..got it off People.com:

Snoward! :)

I love how Rob goes from scruffy, messy Rob to clean cut Edward in the blink of an eye!

Post some scruffy Rob vs. Clean Cut Rob/Edward if you want to make this interactive!

CAN YOU SEE?

LOL CRIKEY

edit:  thank you dalliana for adding more pics. there's a piano.  it's rather redeeming.

Okay soo edward and alice are siblings and I believe they move from chicago. Bella and jacob (i think) had a baby.. but the baby ended up dying.  There is a foundation that Carisle and Esme run at the hospital about whatever problem the baby had. Alice tells edward that Bella was cheating on him and had a secret child because she saw Bella and Jake having dinner as well as baby pictures in Bella's room. Everyone hates Alice at this point because she is causing trouble. Any ideas? I know this is uber vague. 

Calling all Black Dagger Brotherhood fans...

What do you write? What do you beta? What does your friend write or your gchat buddy? What about your friend on twitter?

This is the campfire where you pimp out you and your friends.

We want to read your stuff.

(include links for the lazy)

Just goes to show how Twi-obsessed I am, the first thing I think of when I see this article is Edward...

Frank Buckles, last WWI doughboy, dies at 110 in W.Va.

" ... Born in Missouri in 1901 and raised in Oklahoma, Buckles visited a string of military recruiters after the United States in April 1917 entered what was called "the war to end all wars." He was repeatedly rejected before convincing an Army captain he was 18 ... "

May he and all his comrades rest in peace.

(Here is a slide show ... )

purple ranger approved!

This evening's fic list is brought to you by the letter Q and the number π.

:)

Teacher stories!  Do you know of any stories in which either Bella or Edward -- or BOTH -- are teachers? Not in a Forbidden Relationship story -- the request was specific on this score -- but just that they're in education.

I can think of one or two...can you? 

Find this list and NINETY-FOUR other lists on the MASTER FIC LIST, where we, the Campers of A DIFFERENT FOREST, have labored to organize the best of Twilight Fan Fiction since July, 2010. :)

Remember the Rules of the Campfire:

1.  Keep it simple. Title, Author, Link, Summary.

2.  No discussions.  

So come on in and share your favorite Teacher, Teacher! stories around the fire!

Hey everyone, hope you are all having a great start to the week! Was just pondering something, and am curious to see the responses. In our fandom we use the word 'fangirl' a lot as a negative expression, or to hint that perhaps one is going a little crazy over a certain thing/actor.

Some fans are loud and proud about being a twilight/rob fangirl.  They wear the shirts with the actors faces, they have the posters, the bumper stickers, etc. They are not ashamed.

Some fans are in the closet, so to speak. They have read the books, they surf the websites, they see the movies, but no one in real life knows how much they love the characters/actors. It's all kept hush hush-a guilty pleasure, if you will.

I am middle of the road-I have fangirl tendencies, I'm afraid to admit. I don't wear the shirts or have the posters, but I do want to squeal or lick the screen when I see a new hot Rob pic posted. I don't do either, but the urge is there. I have spent hours watching Bobby Long video clips on youtube...another fangirl move. However I would never go crazy over Twilight memorablia, or stalk any of them. I don't know if I'll even try to get Bobby's pic or autograph in Memphis, cause I don't wanna be a fangirl, you know?

So which are you? Out and loud? Closeted and secret? Or Middle of the road? And if you don't fangirl about Rob, Bobby or Twilight, is there someone/something that you do go crazy over?

Born This Way by Lady Gaga? (be advised, there is some weird things coming out of her... vag)

OR

Hold It Against Me by Britney Spears?

Do you write fan fiction?

Give us a little peek!

Post excerpts from your upcoming chapters here!

~ Don't forget to include a link to your story! ~

"The highlight for Pattinson and Stewart? When a certain Jay-Z/Alicia Keys Big Apple classic came on around 1 a.m. "They went nuts for Empire State of Mind!" the witness tells Us."

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/rob-pattinson-kristen-stewart-kiss-go-nuts-on-dance-floor/57310

Nothing pleases me more than Robert Pattinson busting a move to Jay-Z.  I have a weird thing for Robert Pattinson and Jay-Z involving a chain link fence and boxing gloves.  Oddly enough...it isn't sexual at all.

Let's discuss Robert Pattinson fist pumping to Jay-Z.  Or the validity of this article.  Or anything else.

 I USE to really into ages. I said "okay by 25 you should have this done, by 30 this done should be sending the kids off to college by 40s, etc...until I hit a certain age and missed a step an was perfectly fine with that.

But as far as character ages, I'm always fascinated by how old people tend to make their characters and wonder about the mindset behind it. Since fics are the playground for anything goes as far as what a character does, how they'll act, etc ages seem to not be so daring.

Sometimes it seems like the characters on average are somewhere between 21-27. 27-28 tends to be the maximum oldest age. He's a CEO at 27, the head ER doc at 27, English professor at 27, just everything peaked at 27 and maybe 28.

30 something sprinkled around in spurts and 40 something are a gold mine if you can find it and older that that is reserved for Carlisle and Esme if Edward/Emmett/Alice are their kids.

High school is it's own set of ages and THIS baffles me because with M fics many use the 18+ should be reading when the characters being written about are under 18 and having sex but no one really wants anyone that age reading it.

Without Intention by Halawia?  Seriously, this story has less than 250 reviews and it really should have more. The writing is excellent and Bella's internal torment as she makes a journey of illicit sexual discovery makes my heart ache.

Bella is a housewife in her mid-thirties with a teenage daughter and a insensitive husband (Jake). Her daughter Sarah is madly in love with her best friend's (Alice's) older brother -- Edward. But he isn't interested in Sarah -- he wants her mother. Edward starts working a gardener for Bella and Jake during the summer and they try to resist their attraction. But 'without intention' they are unable to resist each other. And so Bella becomes an adulteress and tries to live a double life where she is not being fair to anyone -- including Edward, who wants more than just sex.

Anyway, it's a great story, told well and I think the author deserves more love than she's currently getting. Go and read ...!

So I read and update today for a fic. I won't name it so as not to spoil anything. But it got me thinking. I'd love some recs where Edward has to fight for Bella's love. So what do you rec?

Edit:  I prefer completed fics.

I don't want your favorites.

In all honesty, I don't want a single name of a fic in this campfire (unless you just *have* to use one to describe your *type*).

I want broader than that...

1. What genres do you find yourself reading most often? (Genre: Romance, H/c, Angst, Fantasy, Drama, Horror, Action, Suspense, Crime, etc)

2. Are you AH only, AU only, or AH and AU in your reading? )

3. What genres have you not read or refuse to read?

4. What ratings do you read most often? (K, T, M - R or NC17) Is there a reason you avoid the other ratings?

5. What pairings do you love the most?

6. What pairings will you refuse to read?

7. Do you like complex stories/plots or do you prefer simpler, more straightforward ones? Why?

8. Do you like cliffhangers? Why?

9. Do you read only completes? Why? (Please only answer this if there's a reason beyond fear of hiatuses, pulling - I want to know if there's another psychological reason you like to read only complete) When you read "real" books, are you the type who turns to the end before getting into the main story?

10. Do you enjoy reading WIPs? Why?

11. Are there plot lines that you just love? That you just hate?

For your time... How about some Roblicious...

Pre-Show: Who do you think will win? Who do you think will be the Best and Worst Dressed? How will Anne Hathaway and James Franco do as co-hosts? 

What are YOU looking forward to MOST about The Academy Awards????

ETA: there is red carpet streaming via MTV here: MTV Red Carpet

ETA: punkfarie is posting pretty pictures inside. Thanks to her. :)

I'm pretty much a lurker here. I come for the fic... Right now I live for Bound For Glory by jandco and WTVOC!

But this weekend I found Longing by jennyfly, and I thought we would be in for an epic. it's in Storytelling, and if I knew how to make a link for it, I would.

It turned out not to be an epic... not in length anyway, but it still kind of feels like one in scope.

Have you read it yet? It was started and completed all in like 2 days, and the summary says it's non-sequential, and it leaves me feeling

idk.

idk how I feel. except it brings this song to mind:

Anyoen want to discuss this one?
