stories you miss

Thursday December 2, 2010 at 7:17 PM

So I was thinking recently about some completed stories I really love and how great it would be to get a surprise outtake or whatever in my inbox for one of them. Like, wouldn't it be awesome to get an outtake from Tropic of Virgo? Or a little glimpse into their future together? I don't know... I think it would be awesome. Maybe River Dam or Rhapsody in B (perhaps we can beg/nag some people here into making this happen). Or, idk, Bare? Some Living Backwards Bella and Edward smut? (high school please. also, brb, asking ciaobella)

If you could get an extra chapter/outtake/future-take/awesome smutty side-shot from a completed story you miss, which story would you choose? Why?

Here's some Edward and Bella for your time:

and another one, because you can't see rpattz's face in that one:

and because this makes me laugh every time I see it:

You know what I just can't believe, all of our time together and we never tried chains.

I Need a Favor...

Thursday December 2, 2010 at 4:56 PM

I need a pre-reader... somebody who'll give it to me totally straight, no sugar-coating, just 100% truth.

I want to know if it's so-so or completely fricking rubbish. I need to know from somebody without bias, I want HARSH judgement. I can take it, I'm a big girl.

Anybody interested? :D

For everyone - not just parents - for a laugh

Thursday December 2, 2010 at 3:30 PM

Received this from a friend of mine - thought it'd be cute to share.

 

 

Parenthood

-- If it was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor!

-- Shouting to make your children obey is like using the horn to steer your car, and you get about the same results.

-- The smartest advice on raising children is to enjoy them while they are still on your side.

-- Avenge yourself -- live long enough to be a problem to your children.

-- The best way to keep kids at home is to give it a loving atmosphere ~~ and hide the keys to the car.

-- Parents: People who bare infants, bore teenagers, and board newlyweds.

-- The joy of motherhood: What a woman experiences when all the children are finally in bed.

-- Life's golden age is when the kids are too old to need babysitters and too young to borrow the family car.

-- Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.

-- Grandparents are similar to a piece of string ~ handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of grandchildren.

-- There are three ways to get something done: Do it yourself, hire someone to do it, or forbid your children to do it.

-- Adolescence is the age when children try to bring up their parents.

-- Cleaning your house while your kids are at home is like trying to shovel the driveway during a snowstorm.

-- Oh, to be only half as wonderful as my child thought I was when he was small, and half as stupid as my teenager now thinks I am.

-- Adolescence is the age at which children stop asking questions because they know all the answers.

-- An alarm clock is a device for awakening people who don't have small children.

 

 

Have a great day everyone!!!

OMG YOU wrote that?!

Thursday December 2, 2010 at 2:41 PM

I know a lot of the campers (and rangers) here write fanfic, and my super curious self would like to know:

What have you written?  (Links, please!)

What are you writing?  (Again with the links!)

What do you WANT to write?  (Obviously no links.  ::sadface::)

What about o-fic?  Did you do NaNoWriMo?  Are you published for realz somewhere so we can stalk you buy/read your awesome stuff?  ::cough::ominficdoesn'tcount::cough::

Also, could you please write whether your story is a WiP, completed, or abandoned (the latter so your fellow campers can prod you into finishing bribe you to finish it, of course).  

Aid me in my procrastination from homework!  DAZZLE me with your literary brilliance!!!  

 

ETA:  Holy crap, you guys are amazing!  I had no idea there were so many talented campers hangin' in the forest!  My 'to be read' list has freakin' exploded!  I can't wait to read them all!  

Also, LURKERS, RANGERS, and BNAs/VIPs (I mean BNA in a non-derogatory way; the latter refers to the VIP authors here--they obviously don't need to provide links, LOL), please to be adding your stuff too!  I'd really like this to be as complete a list as possible.  Makes the stalking a lot easier.  ;-)

Damn that's good

Thursday December 2, 2010 at 1:29 PM

I just finished the Breaking News update.  I don't have the words to describe the level of awesomeness so I'll leave it to someone else.  But I am left thinking that I just got the best bargain I'll see today.  This is free, folks.  These stories and all of this hard work is available to us with not much expected on our end. 

I know Thanksgiving was last week but I feel compelled to once again say thank you so much, writers.  Thanks for sharing your words with us.  I am so grateful. 

So, the point of this little campfire is: which stories do you feel like you could have bought at a bookstore?  Which stories do you feel rise above and feel like a little bit more

antoher case of fic amnesia

Thursday December 2, 2010 at 11:19 AM

looking for a fic - here's the lo-down, or what i remember of it:

it's an HS fic.  bella's a tutor and she ends up getting badass edward as her tutee.  turns out he's illiterate.  the only one who knows is carlisle, but bella figures it out.  she helps him learn to read.  love and drama ensue.

i know there's a fic out there called The Tutor, but i didn't think that was the name of it.  i might be mistaken on that, b/c i read it a long time ago.  anyone recognize it?

off to read the breaking news update:O)

 

EDIT:  thanks for the help, ladies.  it is the tutor, then.  i thought it was called something more complicated.  i hate when i read completed fics so quickly that i don't save them anywhere and lose the names....

Random Questions are Random

Thursday December 2, 2010 at 6:59 AM

 

4 books, 1 partially leaked manuscript.  Lots of huh moments....

some character related....some editorial choices...and some how does that work?

Kyrene's island/money post got me thinking...and I have so many questions, I don't even know where to begin. So I'll start easy.

Carlisle - you work everywhere you move, y/y? Do you always use the name Carlisle? If so, does the Licensing Board, the Medical Association and the Social Security Administration find it odd that there are so many different doctors named Carlisle Cullen, cause over the last 70 years that the SSA has been around, I can't imagine you are using the same number to deal with those pesky taxes.

Here's your chance - pose your wtf q's (fashion choices are welcome! Parenting choices too! If it happened in the 4 published books + Midnight Sun, it's fair game!)  Dude, the q's about the volturi alone have to be epic...

Slowly Going Crazy 123456 Switch

Wednesday December 1, 2010 at 9:34 PM

Okay. Now, normally I wouldn't do this but, after hours of studying for finals I really need this (almost as much as I needed that Rob Porn-- THANK ALL KINDS OF DEITIES for that slice of heaven I just perused) distraction.

So here goes nothing. Feel free to scoff and generally disregard this campfire.

I'm looking for a fic (how unusual) and the title has completely escaped me, hence why I'm here. I read it a while ago and really fell in love with the interactions of the characters and was really looking forward to revisiting it.

It starts off with Bella going to a business meeting (or a date, I can't remember) at a hotel bar. Edward, a hotel guest, is there drinking with his family and sees Bella from across the bar and is immediately smitten. They meet and then, well... lemons occur. If I remember correctly there was a lot of steam.

Fast forward a few months and we see that Bella is ill-- perhaps a flu?-- and everything is pointing to the fact that she's knocked up after her crazy little romp with that gorgeous stranger. Alice is somehow connected in there, as well as Esme? It's been so long, the details are hazy. Edward's a doctor (lawyer?) with a crazy mother who wants his trust money and from the start and he doesn't want to trust Bella, assuming she's a gold-digger. They fight, a lot, and he essentially cuts her off and is ready to pay for the baby but doesn't really want anything to do with Bella.

Everything works out in the end, as these things have a tendency to do, and Edward and Bella end up together, a happy, unified family. The epliogue takes place at a school christmas production with Edward coming in late and only catching the tail end. Bella has gone into labor with their 2nd child and neglected to tell anyone-- if I remember correctly a running joke throughout the fic.

I have a sneaking feeling it's been taken down, but in case it's not, has anyone read it and could point me in any kind of direction? 

In return for the knowledge I'll give you my never ending love and support; we can negotiate anything else.

Thanks!

 

ranger edit: problem solved, thank you very merry much!

Forget the drama, gimme Rob porn

Wednesday December 1, 2010 at 8:56 PM

Okay, so I'm personally a little drama'd out. I don't like it. It annoys me. It gives me proverbial heartburn and makes me think less of people I like.

I don't want to discuss it.

 

So, in the midst of all this mess, let's not forget what's REALLY important here...

 

ROB PORN.

 

GIMME YOUR BEST.

Fanfic Worship Gone Awry

Wednesday December 1, 2010 at 6:44 PM

I just read this blog by Megsly (Horizons, Boxing The Compass, Through Your Eyes).

Basically, an outsiders perspective of the clusterf*ck that went down on Twitter, yesterday, when MoTU II was pulled. Also how this type of incident reflects on the fandom.

Twitter. The new weapon of choice?

Some might find it interesting. 

 

When Fandoms Attack...

 

Perhaps not of the same tone, but... 

CereuleanBlue - Message To The Fandom 

 

Lovely ADF ladies (and gents), this isn't meant to provoke an argument.

 

RANGER EDIT: We always welcome healthy, intelligent discourse here in the forest. Both of these well-written,  thought-provoking essays should be discussed.

Which Fanfic Would You Fanfic?

Wednesday December 1, 2010 at 6:28 PM

I read Twilight and wanted more, that's why I sought out fanfic.

Haven't you ever read a fic and wanted the characters to live on beyond the walls of the story?

I work on the Twific Pimps and we've been throwing the idea around for a new contest, Fanfic My Fanfic, where we'd ask people to come up with missing moments, pasttakes, futuretakes, or alternative endings for some of their favorite fic.

 

My question for you guys:

If you could write a fanfic for any twific story, which would it be?

 

EDIT:  Also, if you're an author, would you mind if someone wanted to fanfic your fanfic?

 

I have no good justification for including this pic other than I saw it today and I might've drooled a little bit.

 

well at least this one has books in it, which sorta relates to the post :)

Myers-Briggsward

Wednesday December 1, 2010 at 4:56 PM

Calling all Myers-Briggs nerds.

Who here is mildly obsessed with Myers-Briggs personality types like I am? I’m writing a story right now where I’ve decided my Bella is INFJ (Oh! how convenient, so am I), and my Edward is ISFP.

What type
do you think you are? Try a test, if you like – but come back when you’re done, ‘kay?

What about canon Edward and canon Bella?

Or some of your favorite fic-Edwards and fic-Bellas?

Looking for a Fic

Wednesday December 1, 2010 at 3:39 PM

I'm looking for an E/B one-shot I read a while ago that I'd love to revisit, but my memory's shot. Bella's traveling an interstate highway when her truck breaks down on a fairly deserted stretch of the road. She gets the truck to an old gas station/convenience shop that seems to be run and maintained by Edward.

He lives in a trailer right next to the shop and invites her to stay, given that the truck repair will take a couple of days (maybe it was 2 weeks, if memory serves). He's got very little food so all he really offers her is a safe place to shower and sleep.

Poor Bella's left bumming around all day w/nothing to do but get to know the guy as her truck's being worked on. There's lots of UST between them that... eventually gets resolved ;)

Sound familiar to anyone?

EDIT: Thanks to evilangel6714 for tracking it down! Link is inside.

buffy episode 3.17 "doppelgangland"

Wednesday December 1, 2010 at 3:28 PM

For a thousand years I wielded the powers of The Wish. I brought ruin to the heads of unfaithful men. I brought forth destruction and chaos for the pleasure of the lower beings. I was feared and worshipped across the mortal globe. And now I'm stuck at Sunnydale High. Mortal. Child. And I'm flunking math.

 

oh man, i love this one.  discuss evil willow!

Attn Writers & Artists~

Wednesday December 1, 2010 at 11:26 AM

Calling all authors, 'zine makers, comic-book writers, diarists, poets and storytellers: Our library needs your words!

The Fiction Project is an opportunity to tell stories in a different way by fusing text and visual art. Add your voice to this year's coast-to-coast tour and create new work grounded in the act of writing. After traveling across the country, the Fiction Project will enter into the Brooklyn Art Library's narrative collection, archiving your stories to share them with the public.

Anyone – from anywhere in the world – can be a part of the project. To participate and receive a journal that will travel with the 2011 tour, start by choosing a theme to the right.

 

MORE INFO HERE: THE FICTION PROJECT

 

The project is sponsored by The Art-House Co-op.  They hold similar projects and contests all year long.  I currently hold a book for the SKETCHBOOK PROJECT, which I've done absolutely nothing for....I'm not sure I even will at this point since the deadline is just a few weeks away, but my IDEA for that project might actually be better suited for this FICTION PROJECT....so I think I may participate in this one.

I love the idea behind these collective projects....these traveling stories.  It's fun, it's communal, anything that inspires creativity this way is simply fantastic.  If you choose to participate, let me know!  I always sign up for things like this, but rarely follow-through.  A little push might help.
