Just an early Christmas gift from Cappie. Props to PattisonLife for sharing these new outtakes.

GIVE ME A MINUTE TO POST SOME MORE INSIDE...AND I WISH I COULD GET ROB'S POST INSIDE ME....

Set photo from Breaking Dawn.

What I want to know is, who are the four stockings for? Doesn't Jake get one, or did Edward miss out???

Disclaimer: Don't make me go all Grinch on yo' sweet asses.

have a warm and safe holiday, whether you celebrate christmas or not.  thank you for a great year and for making the forest a fun place to be. 

please remember- 

-it's still free for all!  until next year, darlings.

-we will be announcing the winners of the two contests on sunday, and there are more contests to come!

now go wrap something.  or better yet, send your ole uncle wtvoc something pretty.

....author of The Cube series has pulled her entire library from FF.   Her latest story, The Soul's Inferno, ended on Wednesday on a not so happy note but this whole story was a departure from her typical comedies.   Does anyone know what's happened?

I wanted to share this because of all the wonderful things everyone else here in the forest shares with mee.

Ok, so here's what I was wondering. How many of you have heard of the portable north pole thing? Have you used it. If so, isn't it awesome?!?!?

One of my good gals just told me about it and how she uses it for her kids, but you can use it for adults too. Its seriously hilarious! I wanted to share this with everyone. Please, if you haven't use this thing...DO. I think its the funniest/ sweetest things ever created (IMO). I don't celebrate xmas, but if you have friends who do you can send this to them.

Its this site where you can, like, send a message to someone from santa. You fill out all this information about the person such as their name and where they live and how they behaved this year. you can upload a picture of them too, and have santa tell them how proud/upset he is of them. Its looks so legit. If you have kids who are on the verge of not believing santa you can use this thing. It will totally get them to believe it for a while longer. You can upload a picture of what they want this year and a picture of them. It will psyche them out!

If you have a boyfriend or fiance you can send a slightly racier message. I think. I haven't tried it but that's what my friend told me. So go do this and come back and tell me if they liked it or not. Hurry before xmas is here.

Happy Holidays to ALL!!

A GOOD BUFFY, HARRY POTTER, ROSWELL, OR VERONICA MARS FIC.

Christ on crutches, what's a girl gotta do?! I still haven't found a single one I've even halfway liked... You'd think with such HUGE FANDOMS it'd be retardedly easy to find something on the level of HL5/Sleepers, Awake/Branching Inward/Of Kith & Kin/Rhapsody in B... Right? I could go on.

Is it really just that OUR fandom has the bestestestestest writers? I wouldn't doubt it... You people are genius.

P.S. I plan to catch up on Vampire Diaries later tonight, and I WILL BE POSTING A CAMPFIRE AND I HOPE SOMEONE COMMENTS.

Thanks, ladies... and now, FYT, one of my favorite gifs of all time:

I do a number on my hair with the amount of bleaching/colouring/straightening I do (it's a wonder I'm not bald) so I pamper it twice a month.  Right now I'm sitting in bed with all this crap smothered in my locks and my hair wrapped in saran wrap with a beanie over the top.  

Give me your at home beauty treatments.  Not everyone can afford trips to the spa or salon.  Do you make your own body scrub? Facial masks? Conditioners?

Yes it's another boring campfire but I need some info. Last night I started a really good story Called All of ME by flibbins; link here--->http://www.twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=7578&chapter=1 . Any way it left off on a cliffy and there have been no updates since this summer so I was wondering if any one knew the author or maybe follows her on twitter and has info about the status of the story. I am really hoping that the story hasn't been abandoned.

Thanks in advance : - )

FYT

ok I am looking for imprinting fics, all types, human,vamps whatever they're all good. I'm also looking for arranged marriage type fics. I read one awesome fic thats not really an arranged marriage but its called mail order bride not sure if thats a helpful example. There was another one that was taken down where bella agreed to marry edward for like 4 million dollars or something and he moved them to Greece and Charlie was a complete Ahole and treated bella like crap. I know the author took it down to re-write it but I don't know if it was ever posted again.

???*I also read a fic once where E/B were both human and I assumed it was impriting but it wasnt all I remember is that edward was very controlling and possessive of bella even as children and he could read her mind only but he fooled everyone into thinking he could also read their minds(his family).Story Found.

For your Trouble:

IF you can't tell I've got a thing for arms and some tats.

Hello Forest

I need a beta. 

My beta no longer has the time to edit my writing. I am in desperate need of a replacement. 

 I would be eternally grateful. 

Let's play a fic game.  It's been done before but it was a long while ago and I figured we can resurrect it.  Post a trailer, a clip or an image from a movie or tv show and another camper in 100 words or less, will write a drabble about it.

Okay for example:

I just started a new story and i got me to thinking about one i had read a while ago i don't remember if it completed or not but i remember i didn't add it because i was waiting to see if it updated i most of forgot anywho

Edward and Bella were dating and i think they got into a fight about something or maybe he cheated but bella was in a car accident and didn't make it and Edward blamed his self and somehow he went back in to time before the fight and got a second chance but the last update i read was the moment he went back in time and realized Bella was still alive.

does anyone remember this story or have it i would love you forever and evers and evers

ATTENTION CANADIAN KINDLE OWNERS.

DO YOU HAVE A KINDLE?

HOW DID YOU GET IT?

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE?

I'M TRYING TO BUY A KINDLE RN, AND I'M GETTING SCREWED AROUND. I CAN'T GET A US ONE, I HAVE TO GET A NON-US ONE.

THEN THEY DON'T TAKE PAYPAL.

WHAT IS THIS?!

HELP ME OUT, PLEASE.

Does anyone have the Eclipse DVD?  Did they say why Rose was missing from the fight scene because there are some pics of her showing that she was fighting, perhaps we just didn't see her?

doesn't have to be christmas or anything

just discuss the traditions you and your family have

talk about the ones you love, or the ones you would like to throw out with the fruitcake

for example, every year, we watch the original miracle on 34th street while drinking cocoa and decorating the tree

and in my husband's family, his mom makes homemade pizza for christmas.  lol THAT'S THE BEST ONE, TBH

and then there's my favorite one: shopping the day after christmas at target to replenish my tissue paper, boxes, and candy bowl.

how about you, campers?  let's talk tradition.

the funniest part in one of the best christmas movies of all time (and also jandco's favorite) for your time:

Sooo, most chapter fics out there are kind of...epic. Which is all fine and dandy. Sometimes you just can't get enough of characters.

...Sometimes, it's nice to read a short fic though. One that tells a specific story and lets it finish without getting a little all over the place.

Certain authors are wonderful at these. Jandco, americnxidiot was, lambcullen....

I just need a few, I should be reading a real book and writing fanfiction so I can't be lost in an epic fic right now. Got any fic recs for a good, short story?

One where Edward isn't a manwhore, please......I won't be too picky since I know there aren't many.

Here's the thing... a lot of stories start out very promising, and then, they just fall flat. I have searched high and low, and... nothing. I only want the best of the best...

By that, I mean...

I have a major girl crush all over the likes of WTVOC and JANDCO

There's something about their writing... they are... fantastic. Scotch, Gin & The New Girl is most definitely one of my all time faves, and hot dog, I'm all over Bound for Glory, too. Problem is? They're human beings, and can't give me 15k updates daily...

So, problem is-- I need more.

* High School/College fic preferred

* Love the relationship dynamics in their stories

* Love their Bellas

* Love the whole running away thing in BFG.

* Nothing super angsty or full of cliches, please.

Please, help me out here... I'm sort of all kinds of desperate, people.

Disclaimer:  I would never, EVER, start a campfire to diss a story or a writer.  That is NOT my intention here.

however...

The recent mass popularity of a certain fic, has begun to bother the piss out of me.  Not because I don't think the concept is fun and new... not because of "sour grapes" or jealousy... and NOT because I deny anyone the right to like exactly what they like for whatever reasons that they like it. 

I just mean... some fics are like potato chips.  I like chips.  (The size of my ass can clearly show that.)

Potato chips are a great snack.  They're fast and easy and satisfy a quick craving.  I get it. 

I'd just really love a campfire that gives respect to those meatier, more satisfying fics, that take time to prepare, and really give you something to chew over for a while.  Fics that stay with you much longer than a handful of greasy potato chips ever could.

So share with me.  What fics would you qualify as steak???  Prime rib???
