Ok, I figure there's no time like the present to get my feet wet in my first campfire. 

I've noticed that WCing is mostly a Twitter thing and growing in popularity. I have some questions for those of you who have done it before!

1. Do you enjoy it?

2. Does it help your focus? Why?

3.  Do you have a particular place that you like to use as your forum? (Skype, GChat, Chatzy, ect)

For anyone who has never tried it, it's pretty simple. Most times, it stands for either 'Word Challenge' or 'Writing Challenge', depending on who you ask.  A group of people get together via chat and introduce themselves, what they write, etc and share any goals that they have a for their writing session. At a certain time, the group disperses to go off and write for a set amount of time (normally 30 minutes to an hour).  When your time is up, you come back to the chat and share how your time went. Most people share teasers from what they've written as well.

Welcome to another installment of the horror watch along, this week we have a special presentation of a Disney (yes you heard that right) classic Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I'll be hosting the watchalong on gchat 7 PM Eastern time (which is about 30 minutes from now) and the movie should be over around 9-ish.
 
*You can PM us your email to make sure you join us in the conversations, or to ask for links!
However if you choose to do neither, you can still comment here on the campfire.

Assuming FFFA is still on... I have to vent. 

My mother sent my daughter a Christmas card with $50 in it....well, some a-hole cut it open and took it all....I'm so mad right now that I can't see straight...I mean, how can someone steal from a child??

I know times are tough right now, but that money was going to buy her gifts from Santa that we weren't sure we could get....

I surely hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, but just in case, put your stuff in a protective envelope and have the person on the other end sign for it....

I am currently forcing The Midget and The Offspring to watch this:

Muahahahhah 

      Long. Live. The Muppets.      MuppM         \

EDIT: The Offspring doesn't not hold this piece of cinematic wonder in high esteem like I do...sniff...

(The actual statement ran along the lines of "Mom this is really stupid.." and tried to barter chores in exchange for having to watch it with me. Needless to say she is doing chores, lol.)

EDIT OF THE EDIT:

I figure I would ammend this post to include a general survey of your favorite not-so-mainstream Christmas movies.

I love this one and watch it all year.

I love all things Earnest. (don't judge)

So Spanglemaker9 just updated the Art Teacher a few minutes ago and...

HE'S BAAA-ACK!!!

Come inside.  Let's talk about the update...

I also want to hear from any of you that have had moment like Bella just had.  Have you ever unexpectedly run into a past love/crush/whatever? Was it awful?  Or were you happy to see the person?  Did it bring a flood of old emotions back up?  Did you stay in touch after that?  Ooh, or did any of you rekindle things? 

It goes without saying, there will probably be spoilers in here!!!

So. 

Sometimes I drink. 

Sometimes I drink and tell people I'll do things. 

Like write a threesome outtake for one of my stories.

Sometimes I think I should stop drinking. 

OMG I'D NEVER. 

Anywho, here's the pickle - I'm not that great are writing er... "lemons" if you will. The ones that I have written have been quite fluffy and well that's how I like it. 

Dirty words make me blush. I'm a prude. 

What I need is some inspiration, tutorial, pictures?

Basically, gimme some pr0n and some pointers. 

Now that I feel like a perv... GO! 

KTHNXILOVEYOUBAI.

Here's a pretty girl and a pretty boy for your time: 

So I wake up to this in my inbox.

What?????? Groan. No.

Let's discuss WTF or "Why is this necessary" moments in our lives. Post pics too if you can!

Hopefully it's still FFAF.  If not I'll have to back out of the room slowly.

Does anybody play WordsWithFriends?  If so, play me!  My name is Wonderwall.  If you're really good, play somebody else, alright?  My ego can only take so much. 

Share your WWF name if you want to play against fellow campers! 

Guys, there was a Googe Doc thing with FFs...I don't know how it works, but I had it bookmarked.

Since FF is banned on this crappy island I've been marooned on, can anyone tell me how to access these fics?

<3

Hi, my friends.

I would like to know what wolf pack fics and fics with new characters you're reading. I'm a male author, and I'm writing a fic pairing Leah with a new character. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2226562/HopeReborn

If you know any really good wolf pack fic, pairing the wolf characters with other wolf or new characters, please, tell me. The only exceptions are fics paring the wolf characters with any vampire or half-vampire.

Update:  There is a Fan Art Competition in progress at WolfPack Spirit site using my fic as the main topic. :-)

Some of us love ANGEL,

Some of us love SPIKE,

BUT, ALL OF US LOVE GILES

I want to know why Giles is so special to you? share your favorite Giles moment, quotes, pics, episodes, etc....

Mine will be in the comments

So, I was cruising the internet one evening and I found this little gem.

I thought it was just the funniest thing. The way he does this whole thing is amazing. Here is another one of my favorite videos. It's the opening song for the anime show Vampire Knight. It's in Japanese, but it's still cool.

Tell me your thoughts.
 

I finally decided that it was about time to come out of lurkdom and pop my campfire cherry, so here it goes.....

I love Sportsward, Hockeyward, Baseballward,whatever, I love them all, I have been reading Take the Ice and it is fantastic because in this fic Bella is also an athlete. So rec me some Sportsella, any fic where Bella is an athlete, maybe a gymnast, Skater, dancer,soccer player whatever just as long as she is an athlete.

Please and Thank you

So.... my hard drive crashed this week. And while my super sexy brilliant big man was able to recover my files and transfer them to my laptop, I lost all of my playlists. Still have most of the music, but just can't remember what goes where. Trying to reload the iPod for the last two days-- have almost 1000 songs.

Here's where you come in:

1) did anyone have some of the playlists from The Office and/or Twigasm saved? Those h00rs removed e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.... and oh my, the playlist from The Office's Epilogue......mmmmmmmhhh..... I have a few songs saved but not in order and I'm staring at my list trying to remember what else went on that playlist....

2) What else do you keep on your playlists that are totally fanfic related?

I have an MotU playlist with Black Black Heart by David Usher (NOT available on iTunes, got it from Limewire before that crashed) and This City Never Sleeps by the Eurythmics! I need an Inked/Marked playlist. Also have a "city of..." playlist with some of the music from the Mortal Instruments series, some of those songs were pretty good.

OKAY hi every one,

i've been away my net is playing up i'm having to tether through my iphone, dont you just love technology?

so i need your help. i'm thinking about expanding my horizons and trying some Dr WHO fanfiction.

so i tried fic diving, and its not working for me if theres anything you think is a must read or there is a place i should be looking?

OR if you just want to come on in and gush about Dr Who I'll gush right along with you.

ps. jandco just became my 100th follower on twitter omg 100 followers freak out!!

things that make you really happy campfire

for today, dear campers, my son has reached a real milestone.

in september of 2009, we sat down to read chapter one of harry potter and the sorceror's stone.

we read a chapter every single night, barring nights when we were out of town, and the times either he or i was sick.

well, tonight dear friends, we finished the deathly hallows.  :') :') :')

i asked him what he thought.  "that was AWESOME, mama!"  

he was grinning through the entire epilogue.  i was grinning/tearing up the entire time.

i'm very excited about this, you don't even know.  that i get to share one of my favorite things with my kid makes me really ridiculously happy.  

after we finished, he goes, "what's next, mama?"  i told him maybe percy jackson, i don't even know.  

so, i'd like to celebrate my and connor's literary achievement with a HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY post, preferably with videos, gifs, pictures, anecdotes... hell, whatever you've got.

happy free for all, everyone!  and any recommendations on what literary adventure me and my kid should embark upon next would be greatly appreciated!
