This edition of High Noon brought to you by the phrase, "DUN DUN DUN!!!"

http://www.adifferentforest.com/Fiction/Default.aspx?Chapter=4208

Make me and the authors happy and go read and chat with me about all the drama and conflict and a certain scene some of us were wanting...

And then some more theorizing, serious or otherwise!

My thoughts inside.

I hope no one already posted on the subject. The movie is called Red Riding Hood and is coming out in March 2011. Basically, it's a spin on the classic story: A village is haunted by a werewolf. Valerie (Red Riding Hood) seeks the assistance of a hunter to fight the creature. The cast is AMAZING : Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Billy Burke, Julie Christie etc...

The movie seems really good. I'll definitely go see it. I'm a sucker for fairytales.  

Hi Everyone - Happy Sunday!

I'm going to introduce someone to Twi Fan Fiction and while I have a list of a few stories I want to give her, I've only been reading fan fiction for a little less than a year.  So I was wondering...

If you were going to introduce someone to fan fiction, what would be your #1 choice for an AH story and what would be your #1 choice for a vampire story.  I have a few conditions:

1. Must be canon

2. Must be BxE or the whole Cullen family

3. Preferably complete or at the very least very close to being complete.

Also... if you were introduing someone to fan fiction and they weren't sure about reading an AH story - how would you convince them to give it a shot?

FYT :)

I was at a party last night with some women I have know for many years, We get together once a month for a dice game.

My best friend started talking about how she would like to just run down, with her car, certain ethnic groups...soon everyone was joining in. The things they were saying were so rude and full of hate, it was rolling off of them.

They know that I don't agree with them,( I lightly study buddhism on my own )and for the most part we all try and stay away for certain topics, well this was not the case last night.

When I tried to defend these people and say that its not fair to stereotype people, they look at me like "I must not know whats going on around me" that I am naive.

I finally went into the bathroom and started crying (lame I know) I cried for my friends and the children they are raising with so much anger in their hearts.

I wasn't able get past the sadness I felt, finally the hostess took me aside and I did 4 shots of Redbull and Vodka...needless to say after that I was able to move on from what happened for the rest of the evening.

I know this is a heavy subject.

So how would you have dealt with this situation?

This has Campfire has been approved by the GREAT G.A.W....Thanks

Did you know?

Today is WORLD HELLO DAY!

(this is an actual thing)

November 21, 2010 is the 38th annual World Hello Day. Anyone can participate in World Hello Day simply by greeting ten people. This demonstrates the importance of personal communication for preserving peace.

World Hello Day was begun in response to the conflict between Egypt and Israel in the Fall of 1973. Since then, World Hello Day has been observed by people in 180 countries. (more here)

And since it's Sunday, which is Post Secret day, we all know how much I love secrets!  I thought it would be fun if we all took a minute to stop and say HELLO and confess something that NO ONE else knows.

I'll go first:

HELLO!!

Your turn Campers...

Remember, there's no judgment here, so give us your deepest, your darkest secrets. Get it off your chest!  We love you here!

xo

It's amazing how chinese whispers work with gossip....

Four men, who were allegedly drunk guests at a nearby wedding in the same venue, attacked Pelletier in the men's room of a Hilton hotel where he was a main attraction at 'Eternal Twilight 4,' a fan expo packed with teenage girls in Birmingham, about 120 miles from London (Peter Facinelli was the biggest 'Twilight' star originally booked to appear, but was ultimately a no-show).

Pelletier suffered a broken nose in the confrontation, during which the men reportedly struck and headbutted him until he was able to escape. Police chased the suspects, and witnesses say cops used a Taser to restrain one. All four were arrested on suspicion of assault; two have since been released and two were granted bail, pending further investigation. The motive for the attack has not been made public.

I totally picked the most crazy article btw....  BASICALLY MOST OF THAT IS COMPLETE BULL

When i saw the tweet from the Twilight Lexcion yesterday asking what happened I was all woah... people heard about that? (took a while though lol) But since they posted about the story it's popped up on even more sites and the events keep changing lol http://www.twilightlexicon.com/?p=22167

The lexicon probably has the most accurate series of events but still, even I don't know the WHOLE story and i was there.... (but Bronson wasn't hurt and stayed for the rest of the weekend happy and what not as if nothing happened.... the people holding the con handled the situation very well IMO... and the bride from the wedding party and her bridesmaids wore some hideous dresses... like footballer's wives bad... with orange skin ... the bridesmaids were wearing peach.... yeah... that was my main observation of the night...)  

So makes you wonder what other small stories are actually even smaller than they first appear.... and what really is complete crap when it comes to gossip sites.... (I'm guessing most of it tbh)

What's the craziest fabricated story you've heard online or in tabloids (mostly about twilight)? 

This is about twilight so I'm allowed to post it right? lol

This one goes out to Miss Erica Lopeezy on her birfday even though she's taking a break from fandom and internets, I anticipate her sweet sweet return and need to let her know I love her. Happy Birthday darling!! <3

I came across this tonight because of a recent reader/reviewer to one of my stories.

I'm having "issues" with all of it. First red flag is that the reader is 15. Now this honestly isn't a big deal to me. But she also writes things, and a common theme in her writing is spanking. BUT what really bothered me was that I went to read some reviews to one of her stories, to understand what it's about. And this was one review:

Link to Review

Has anyone EVER come across something like this before? What did you do? How was it handled?

I know I haven't been in the fandom that long, but is this sort of thing "common"? What would you do if you came across this?

Since when is something like this OK?

I'm thinking of PMing the reviewer and also PMing the writer . . . what would you do? Please come in here and advise me.

I've noticed that there aren't that many Carlisle and Esme fics. I can find stories about Edward and Bella in any category or bella and jacob or bella and jasper, or rose and Emmett,  the volturi etc....you get the point. But why is it that there are hardly any stories about the beautiful compassionate doctor who I wouldn't mind recieving a check up from. I've found I think maybe 3 stories about carlisle's history but i'm talking about fics where its love stories between Carlisle and Esme. Don't you want to read about those two making love, or just experiencing life together? Possibly all human or vamps, whatever I just feel like there is little appreciation for the head of the cullen family. Or am I the only one?

FINALLY. Happy in Love is reposting her completed fic Cien Anos de Soledad http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6486960/1/Cien_Anos_de_Soledad

There is a Girl, there is a Boy. There is a Kid. There are feelings. That's about it, really. But what else is there?
Twilight - Rated: M - English - Romance/Hurt/Comfort - Chapters: 5 - Words: 20,984 - Reviews: 31 - Updated: 11-20-10 - Published: 11-18-10 - Bella & Edward

 

 I am happily rereading as she posts it chapter by chapter. She is averging 1-2 chapters per day.

If you have not read it, then this is you chance to enjoy this gem. and don't let the summary fool you, there is more , so so much more into the story than it says.

Update: 9  11 chapters have been posted in FFn.net. This is a good time to start reading this story. I've read the readers' reviews and this story is a BIG hit.

Just read the first chapter. It will suck you in. TRUST.

There are quite a few AU stories out there. Even stories where Bella is a shape-shifter. I think it might be an interesting read if it's well written.

So what's your favorite AU story? If you know more than one, fantastic! I especially want to know if there's an interesting story where Bella is part of the Quileute pack and along comes the Cullens.

Thank you! :)

ps.

Mine's in the comment.

Just want to say belated and advance Happy Birthday to JandCo and Emibella again. You guys are always loved.

I know this campfire is lame. Well, it's a FREE FOR ALL FRIDAY anyways.

Have you watched HP7? Is it good or you'll pick the book and start reading it again. Does it overpower the other HP movies?

Twitter and Tumblr user?

Add me. Just look for "taciturnsblood" always. In google or yahoo. :)

is with teeth really that good?  what's it about? why should I read it?  pimp it out to me and a link would be good too.  :)

and it's complete right? 

unsolicited life advice

for example:

-mac lip glass is unnecessarily sticky and you pay 15 bucks for the privilege of getting your hair stuck to your mouth

-peanut butter really does get gum (and pretty much anything else that's stuck) out of your hair

-nail polish remover will take that sharpie right offa your forehead; apply it to a cotton swab first, though, and dab.  it stings/possibly blinds you if you get it in your eyes.

-target's rule on coupons is that if it scans, they have to accept it- apply this to using both a target coupon AND the manufacturer's coupon... for the exact same item! (example: i have a target coupon for 1.50 off 2 m&ms and a 1.00 off 2 m&ms from the sunday paper.  voila... 2.50 off, making one of them free!)

-potential employers check your facebook accounts before hiring now, so remove any incriminating/topless/drunk/questionable photos you have right.freaking.now.

-1 cup of white vinegar in your dishwasher with each wash will make your glass sparkle like no cleaning product ever made will

-never, ever use wikipedia as a "works cited" source for your paper.  in fact, unless specified to do so (or you have access to a professional database of research-based periodicals), you probably shouldn't use the internet as a source at all; quick, handy reference guide, yes.  source.... no.

okay, your turn

Let me preface this by saying that this campfire is all about spoilers...If you do not like them, DO NOT OPEN!!!

There are several fics that I loved but abandoned because they were too long. I have the attention span of a 4 yr old and if a fic gets too long I lose interest. It's nothing against the writer or writing, I just can't commit past 20-30 chapters.

So I'm looking for spoilers to these fics:

Master of the Universe- how did it end? The last thing I remember reading was Bella finally meeting Irina.

Hit By Destiny-I see it's still going but, I left off when Bella was living with Kate (I think) and she was about to get emancipated. You would think that would be it. What's going on now?

The University of Edward Masen- I know it's been pulled, but did it ever complete? If so, how did it end?

Are there any fics, movies, or books you want spoilers for?
