I am personally against people having an obsene amount of money. Where people can barely live in this economy, I see no reason why people like Ashely Greene and Kellan Lutz should be demanding a ridiculous amount of money for Breaking Dawn, or why other actors are naturally offered that amount for any movie. Or sports. I don't care what you do, I believe it is completely uneccessary.

Which brings me to the Cullens. Carlisle is a doctor. Which is wonderful. He helps people. The rest of the family can't be doctors because of the blood. I get it.

Why is doctoring the only good thing they can apparently do with their money and their knowledge?

They have how many homes? They have how many fancy cars? They want something, they buy it. And it pisses me off.

They could likely feed a small country for like 50 years to come, or give all those families in Africa the nets they need, or sell a house and a few cars and give an obsene amount of money to cancer or AIDs research.

Some of them I get, some of them I don't think care enough. But what about Mr. Guilty Edward? Or Jasper? Or Ms. Human Life Means Something! Rosalie.

...Am I alone? I can rant more but I'll stop.

EDIT: I'd like to say that all these opinions are Cullen specific. I expect more from these vampires than I do from others considering how great they are made out to be in the books. Just keep that in mind.

I just read Osa Bella - which was fabulous and which is what got me thinking about this - but I find myself wanting something more.

I'm looking for fics where for whatever reason - Bella is older (25-30ish)  - she can be vamp or human - and is with Edward who is obviously younger (but maybe 18-20 instead of 17 to avoid law breaking???). This can be humourous or not, but I'm just interested in how they cope with being in the world in what appears to be an inappropriate relationship.

EDIT: - MUST BE VAMP EDWARD, HENCE THE 'WHAT APPEARS' TO BE INAPPROPRIATE. sorry for the confusion

Can anyone help me with this? Am I terrible for this request?

For your time

the Truly teenage Edward

The way teenage Edward would act on honeymoon

"I'm a chick, not a gay dude, which is fortunate for my husband, but not for my fashion sense."

That right there is my very first post (not including fic) in the Twilight Fandom.  A few really lovely people were reading one of my fics and I got a P.M. inviting me to come discuss it. 

I was SHOCKED, because I had no idea such forums existed, I wasn't aware that people actually gathered to talk about fanfiction things.  Then I spent the next hour figuring out how to post a comment; and that first one is in regards to speculation as to whether I was a girl or a gay man.

I'd posted briefly a few times before on a different Twi board...but it wasn't the same as the comms are today.

Share with me your very first post....or what you can remember of it. 

How did you de-lurk?  Were you apprehensive about it or did you dive right in?  Was it in response to a particular topic?

If you remember or have the actual post, we'd love to see it.

If you still haven't de-lurked...THIS COULD BE YOUR STORY! 

So, come in, share with us your first time...or come in and have this BE your first time.

If Carlisle Cullen were to turn you into a vampire, would you decide to do the "vegetarian" Cullen diet or drink human blood?

Also, what is the one food you would miss the most?

To catch your eye...

SO SORRY for not posting this last week.  Hope you all can forgive me...

In any case, IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN.

DO YOU MAKE FAN VIDEOS?

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE YOU WANT TO SHARE?

POST THEM ALL HERE!

MY WEEKLY RECS:

"The Twilight Saga - Intro" by verotruth  <-  This is really unique in that it's not your typical fan video.  As the title says, it's an "intro" to the series.  Pretty cool, I must say. :)

and because I'm UBER excited about The Vampire Diaries starting up again tomorrow...

"Katherine - Everything comes into focus.." by paradisedanifm1

OKay i just got my eclipse DVD and have just put the audio commentary on

omg my love for RPattz has reignited the flame

come here and be happy for me.

Interactive part

HAVE YOU GOT YOURS YET???!!?!?!?!

Hi Y'all,

I have been trying to figure out the name of this fic:

Bella has a one nighter with Edward and gets preggers, becomes homeless and then meets him under a tree or at his doorstep (not entirely sure) and he decides to help. I think they are highschoolers but I'm not 100% sure.

I might have mixed two stories but anywho if you recognize it at all please help me out here `cause it's drivin' me NUTS.

Thank you. That will be all.

UPDATE: Story located - Just One Night by LittleMissInnocence

I've decided to venture into new fic territory... Harry Potter fics.

I don't really wanna fic dive, though. I hate trying to find good stuff that I'll know I like.

Anyone have some recc's to start me off? I'd love, love, love to read a pre-Philsopher's Stone fic about Lily and James. omg, if I found a good LilyxJames fic that wasn't porn... I'd forever be in your debt.

Thanks!

Here's a pretty for you. :)

Hello forest frolickers! :)

I'm in need of a funny, belly-full-of-giggles kind of story.

I've been reading a lot of angst filled stories as of late and they're kind of weighing on me a bit.

Having a hard time finding interesting, care free, hilarious fics that will have me laughing for days. 

So I've come to ya'll for help!

If you could rec me some hilarious fan fics that will inflate my little angst ridden heart it would be wonderful! Preferably E X B :)

Much appreciated! :)

FYT:

Rob likes to laugh too! :)

Is anyone else having trouble getting FF to load?  I may actually hyperventilate if this doesn't get straightened out soon!!!

I was just about to head to chapter 3 of "The Tour" and I really want to keep reading!!!

FYT.....

edit:  ok, I just saw the post below mine about the FF fail.  It must have gone up when I was typing mine. : (  Sorry!  I"ll still leave Rob up for your viewing pleasure though!

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.
