No not this data.

Back in August (I know, major fail on my part) I asked you guys a whole bunch of questions in relation to fanfic and Edward and relationships and a bunch of other stuff.  Well I've finally collated the data.  For the LAST. THREE. HOURS.  So pretty please have a look?

I'm not going to put all of it in the body of the post because then it would be really long.  So I'll make separate comments for each category except for ones that are small.  I'll just lump those together.  I'll post the top ranking answers in each category at the top of each list/question and then all the random answers because I think that's only fair (and occasionally really interesting).  You will see a lot of very similar words but I kept them separate because I felt it was important to include your words as you gave them instead of assuming certain things should be lumped together.  I'm also going to quote some of the longer answers that I felt were intriguing and/or interesting.

Keep in mind this is in no way scientifically sound and was really just for fun, comparison, and hopefully discussion.  And in regards to discussion let's try to keep it civil?  I imagine some of the answers herein could cause some strong opinions.

Also, special thanks to everyone who answered my questions.  You took the time to share your thoughts with me and it's only fair that I take the time to post them as promised.  My apologies for taking so long.

Comment from camper:

It's a special day here in the Forest. One that only comes once a year. And thank goodness, because I don't think the world could handle anything more frequent than that.

November 15- time to celebrate the birth of a certain Grown.Ass.Woman that we all know and love, admire and respect, and sometimes stalk (we're looking at you, Mr. Pattinson, I saw how you hurried back from Rio so you could make it in time for the party!).

That special Ranger who goes out of her way to welcome new campers, gets our weeks started off with a smile thanks to her informative Monday posts, and always keeps us abreast (haha, I said breast) of any personal issues she has going on...down there.

Chantal, you are an amazing woman- friend, mother, daughter, sister, wife, cook, photographer, writer, and a whole host of others that I'm just not creative enough to think of.

For all you do to make the Forest a warm and fun place to hang out, thank you. I hope this is a wonderful day for you!!!! Everyone, come inside and leave gifts at the altar. Appropriate presents include anything relating to Rob, Bobby Long, traveling Europe, U2, a good, aged, dry red wine, and of course be sure to leave some TMI.

Alrigt End Island readers...

We had an update tonight that I pretty much begged for.  Come inside and chat about it!

So, yeah. My computer has been broken since July, and I now just got it fixed. Needless to say, I have been very Rob/Twilight news deprived. Would anyone mind catching me up on the latest juice? Pretty please? Pretty please with Rob on top?

Thank you!!!! :D

and she liked it ;)

You know what hurts my feelings?

BAD PHOTOGRAPHY:

but you know what makes it better?

these two chicks:

Oh hi there, Bobby Long doing yer soundcheck...

my memory is foggy after that ^^ pic was taken... large amounts of alcohol were consumed.  i've been told i had a great time though, last night.  I was even read to...a charming little bedtime story.  and there was discussion of labias and scented arousals.  it was interesting.

HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND, CAMPERS?!

So monday i decided i wanted to jump on board with the whole vampire diaries thing. my friend who had intorduced me to twilight, said i would really like it.

she was right, i watched all like 30 episodes in less than a week.

IM HOOKED ON THIS SHOW, AND I LOVE IT SFM!!

Do you watch Vampire Diaries?

What couples do you Ship? (mine will be in comments)

Whose your FAVORITE charecter?

Do you think its funny how there are so many similarities to twilight? (Stefans Hair??)

What do you want to see happening with the show?

Come around this nice warm fire pit, and drink some hot cocoa and lets discuss the awesomeness that is Vampire Diaries.

Also, Has Anyone read the books? i havent, but i was just wondering if it follows the books pretty closely or not.

EDIT: ALSO PLEASE PICSPAM WITH PICTURES OF THE HOTTIES ON THE SHOW!

I have finally managed to hijack the computer over the last couple of weeks and cannot, for the life of me, find a earth shattering - hermit enabling - Changed. My. Life story. 

So I come to you, my fellow Twi-agra addicts =)

Everything Applicable.

Cept', I can't get used to Slash.  Anyone who feels "them be fightin' words". Challenge accepted.  Ung, I just had a flash of Swashbuckling-ward.....  Now that my friends, would earn you guys a brownie point

He's 23 years old and the youngest champion in F1 World History. Congratulations Basti!!!

For research purposes of course.  Feel free to include visuals : )  Help an old 40 year old with her story research.  Its going to be a small one for his deceased father.  Maybe upper back/shoulder area?? Any help is much appreciated.

I'm usually a stickler for completed fics.  Mainly because I have an obsessive nature and like to devour fics and completely immerse myself in the story over a couple of days.

But lately, I have being feeling frustrated that when I finish a fic, I have no one to talk to about it because it's old news and all the threads are done etc etc.  And really, that's one of the perks of being in this fandom.  It's like one big gi-normo book club.

Sooo, I'm thinking of jumping on the WIP boat and was wondering if anyone had any good WIP recs for me?

Or even better, if anyone knows of any new fic that is about to start so that I can jump on at the very beginning?

(I'm more angsty than fluffy, but other than that, anything goes:)

FYT

Oh yes. That's how I like him. Not chaste and SM neutered. No thanks. I'll pass.

Thank you to these authors for making vampire Edward what he is-sexual, angry, filled with blood-lust and struggling with true love and morality.

Do you have a favorite Darkward story? I am not interested in a sadistic Edward or a human Edward-am only looking for true Darkward stories.  I need a fix-now.

Also-I need/want/desire a new avatar-I want a bloody Edward gif. Can someone help me please?

First campfire, so if I'm doing something wrong, please tell me!  

I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing an update fail from ff.net?

I've seen that so many of my stories have updated this past week, and I haven't gotten a single email notifying me.

Then, tonight I  just updated my own story and I didn't even get the notice that I'd added a new chapter like I usually do.

Is anyone else experiencing this phenomenon or am I just extending my real life epic fails to the internet now?

GREEN.

yes, the fanfic is now completed (the epi was posted today) (btw, idk if there's a campfire for this already, but I didn't see one.  if there was one... who cares?  I could gush about this fic all day.  and if there wasn't... well here it is!)

LETTUCE DISCUSS THE AWESOMENESS THAT IS THIS STORY AND IS BRATTYVAMP.

for those who need the link, because you were stoogie and decided not to read it:  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6108912/1/

Um...

I wonder how much she paid for those things?  And did she get them especially for the occasion?

Comments?  Captions? 

It may be 8:20 in my neck of the woods....but it's also...

HIGH NOON!

Trust me, you don't want to miss this one. Don't make me hunt you down!

Go read and then come back to chat with me about how THIS is the way vampires are meant to be!

pacquiao vs. margarito tonight at 9pm est

I'm really really excited about this one!

Welcome to another instalment of the horror watch along! This week we are focusing on ZOMBIES! The winner of the poll this week. *drum roll*

ZOMBIELAND!! We've got a little bit of gore but a WHOLE lot of funny :D

GAW for the permission :D
 

I'll just leave this here...

More pics inside...

I just wanted to change things up a bit.

You know, Branch out. Spread my wings. Get a makeover.

And like a bad haircut, it didn't go over very well.

After several PM's, and an actual phone call from The Lurker on the East Coast regarding this issue, I have relented and put my original avatar back up.

I was told it's always been, well, me.

Who knew?

You're welcome. I love you guys too. And as The Luker is fond of saying,yes, I am a dork.

So who else around here has received unexpected reaction to an avatar change?

NOTE: I might occasionally change the expression but will keep the same critter. Promise.
