Since most of us are women, I know there are a few dudes up in here, I would like your opinion on something.

This is PETA's new ad.

What do you think of it?

I think it's completely stupid. That we should be ashamed of our body scans because we aren't thin and vegan? Gimme a break, PETA.

AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Is FF broken or does my computer just hate me?!

I can open any sight but fanfiction.

(Let it be known that it IS possible that my computer is getting it's revenge for my constant use of it)

By the way, this is my first campfire.  I feel like a tool for always lurking.... Especially since I depend on ya'llz so much.  You all brighten my day!

It's the bestest month of the year. It doesn't matter that it's dark and cold because there's magic in the air and Christmas is nearly here.

I give you: SNOW.

Have you got your decs up yet? What do they look like?

What's your favourite Christmas song? Have you got a playlist set up yet?

(Ahem: Clearly the right answer is Fairytale of New York).

Do you celebrate other holidays during the month - Hannukah, Yule, the fact that booze is free and easy?

What's your favourite Christmas food? Favourite tipple?

What do you want Santa to bring you?

And other favourites I've missed or you want to throw in there?

My answers will be in the comments.

Thanks to Capricorn75 for her approval.

I am betting we are going to have some fun with this one!

tee hee

i actually got the idea for this campfire last night, but was too lazy to put it up, but this is perfect... following cappie's campfire about gifts

campers, what do you want for christmas (ff and adf related, please)????

here's mine:

1. I really really want bananapancakes7 to write EPOV of Thirty days. cause omg, can you imagine how hot that'd be???

2. I really really want Failure to Thrive by Julesnerd to update

3. I would like belladonna1472's (it is 1472, right?) Edward from The Cullen Campaign to be my future boyfriend.

OK I'm reposting this hoping someone can help. I read this fic awhile ago and can't remember much. What I do remember is it's a B/E AH fic. B and E meet and E asks B out. She already has plans, so E goes to a BBQ at Alice's and Jasper's (I think). E gets there and out on the deck the girls are all huddled together. E realizes the B is in the middle holding a baby. (Rose's maybe). Anyway everyone gets ready to go out to the pool and B goes to use the restroom to get ready but E catches her and they start making out when Alice catches them. Then there is some fun in the pool with I think a kid who is R and Em's I think. Does anyone know this fic?

REMEMBERED MORE:

I don't think Bell was related to anyone and Ang was there I believe. I do remember Jasper taking candid pictures of everyone. Oh I just remembered that Bella would go over and have a tea party with Alice's daughter. And they would wear hats and she would make uncle eddie wear a hat to. And there was something about Jasper showing people pics of E and B on the computer. And a food fight with pies I think. HELP!!!

Edit: Disregard the second half. I'm mixing two stories into one. But I do know that it's not Falling For You. Edward doesn't have any kids.

Hello! This is my first time posting. Please be gentle with me.

I'm part of the podcast blog Twificpimps, and am always on the lookout for some great recs. I noticed something that made me a sad panda though: there are never any comedy recs!

I'm looking for some humour (I'm Canadian so please disregard all the extra vowels) recs of anything from crack, dark, to romantic.

Watcha got????

Oh Rob, you shouldn't have. Look what that gorgeous man got me for Christmas!

So Campers, now that the season is upon us, what would you give those in the Twi-universe for Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa?

Post what you would gift to another Camper, or a Ranger, or your fave author, or one of the cast, fanfic characters, or actual book characters?

I am confused. Have been for a long time. So much so that it is actually becoming a bit maddening...

The issue: BRONZE HAIR.

Bronze as I know it:

Namely, a shiny brownish-blond, if we are referring to hair. 

Why does Edward keep getting referred to as a redhead?? I do not understand. Help me, please.

After lurking here at ADF for almost a year, I only just started posting comments in the last three or four months. I blame AngiJ and her humpday games. Anyhoo, this is the first and really only online community in which I have interacted with other folks. So, I have a few questions about posting etiquette that I hope y'all can help me answer.

1. Should you always make a note in your post that you have edited your comment if you have done so? 

2. If another camper asks you a direct question in response to your post, are you obligated to respond to her/his query? 

3. Is it considered bad form to start chit chatting with another camper on a topic other than the subject of the original post? 

fyt

We've been seeing a lot of 'rec me' campfires lately, maybe more than usual.  I always look at these campfires because I'm always searching for that next GREAT FIC.  The one that I DIE over, that keeps me up all night reading, that I agonize over, waiting for the next update.  I haven't felt that in a while.  There are a lot of GOOD stories out right now.... but I'm missing the GREAT ones.  I feel like I've read everything that's AMAZING.  I'm feeling jaded and I don't like it.

So rec me something good Campers!

And look...I'm a self-proclaimed FIC SNOB.  I know what I like.  I know what I hate.  I want PLOT, not porn.  I want INSPIRED writing...not just something mediocre.  I want that story that makes you say "THIS SHOULD BE A PUBLISHED BOOK IT'S SO FREAKING GOOD!!"

I want the next WITH TEETH, or SANCTUARY, or VOLITION.

Here's my list of requirements:

AH (i'll read AU too, but non-canon only)

E/B only, please and thank you

ABSOLUTELY NO Pixies, shopping sprees, electric shock at first touch, contrived angst (I like angst---just none thats there just for the sake of it), Emmett that eats everything, NO CLICHES

REALISTIC DIALOGUE omg

No "omg I can see the brilliant green of his eyes a mile away"  No you can't Bella, if you can you must be Hawk.  With feathers.

If the author's note says OMG THIS WILL MAKE YOU CRY---uhh no it won't, especially now that you said it will.

Nothing with 65725682 reviews.... if it's that popular, chances are I've either read it and loved it or flounced it because it's overrated.

I JUST WANT A GOOD STORY!!

Rec me something, and please tell me WHY I should read it...sell it to me.  I know there have to be some incredible stories out there that I just haven't found yet!

I don't roast many marshmellows on here, i'm more of a lurker/commenter, but i'm feeling pretty desperate because fanfic is not my strong point and you guys know more than I do about it.

I remember reading The Blessing and the Curse a while ago, and not long re-read it. Now guess what? I have a total CRAVING for this type of story. A fic where Edward is possessive and where he and Bella were childhood sweethearts (and pretty much always have been).

I've looked on the Master fic list, but I can't spot anything that is close to this type of fic. There's no doubt one out there, but because I haven't read much fic, can anybody help me?

THANKYOUTHANKYOU

i'd like to roast some marshmellows with you all

ETA: I'm like a week late with this as usual, how do I miss everything?

First Image Released From Breaking Dawn!

Well, this isn't much of anything, but we're sure it's just enough to get the Twi-Hards all worked up into a sparkly vampire frenzy!

Check out the first official image released from the upcoming Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (above)!

What a delicate hand surrounded by feathers! We imagine that this was taken from the scene in which (SPOILER ALERT) RPatz and KStew first consumate their eternal and completely healthy love - and in the process he bruises her entire body!

But that's okay, folks! Because she says that she wants it!

Which is a totally appropriate and acceptable message to send to impressionable young women about romance!

Ugh.. he does annoy me

Do you think it's real? come discuss 

I want to shop on Etsy but everytime I try, I get overwhelmed and run away. There is too much stuff! Too many icky, scary stores! But I keep hearing about the "finds!" and the "deals!" and then I get grumpy because I am missing out on the "deals!" and the "finds!"

Can you help me? What are your favorite stores on Etsy and how do I find them? Share some pics of your "deals!" and "finds!"
