Hello Hello

dear readers

I'm new here and just wanted to say a BIG HELLO to everyone.

I love this site already.

Even if it's quite complicated here, I hope you will help me.

Well and sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany.

Delilah

Tell me about your romantic boyfriend/man/date!

I once had a boyfriend who would play his guitar for me, sadly not together anymore, but that was so sweet!

And what were your romantic ideas? I love to create a romantic dinner! Or make my own cards!

I need some ideas here.

Jandco's birthday is coming up.

We all know she likes

But that's a tough gift to give.

Over the time I've known her, I've also learned she likes

and

BUT WHAT KIND OF THING DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD LIKE AS A GIFT?????

Oh, yeah, we're doing this.

CHEESE appreciation campfire up in this joint.

Which is totally approved by WTVOC, who would like me to point out that velveeta cheese is product, not cheese. But that she definitely thinks that cheez-its count.

I'm English and don't know what these are but I bet they're awesome.

I'm more of a traditional girl myself. I have cheddar cheese with everything. In my fridge I currently have 3 500g bags of grated cheddar cheese. Which I cook with everything. EVERYTHING. And eat. By itself. With a fork. I don't even bother with a plate. Just sit with the bag of cheese and eat it.

And I was craving Chips and Cheese? So I totally cooked some chips with cheese on top.

God gave men cars, beer and sex. God gave women cheese. In fact, my Grandma once told me the meaning of life is crackers and cheese - spoken like a true English woman.

So let's appreciate it.

What is your cheese of preference?

P.S. What do I win for fulfilling my double dog dare?

Hey ya'll!

Hope everyone's having a good week, and looking forward to the weekend! (I work the whole thing, yuck!) Just wanted to ask if anyone has seen any pics pop up from the Halloween Bash that Rob was threw/was rumored to have thrown in Baton Rouge? I saw a pic of Kellan over the weekend, but it was from some Atlantic City bash or something. Anyway, just curious as to what our lovelies dressed up as!! To make this more interactive, what costume do you think would be the best choice for Rob, Kristen, Taylor, etc? Vampires too cliche, lol? And what was the most interesting costume you saw over the weekend? Mine was three guys dressed exactly like the Pineapple Express characters, including bloody guy who got killed like five million times :0)

MY WEEKLY REC: 

"Daniel || Twilight" by Vera241241

POST AWAY CAMPERS

sit around the fire, roast marshmallows, make friends, and answer wtvoc's questions

when i'm starving, i wish someone would make/go get me _____________________

the song i just can't get out of my head is this:

when i was younger, i had a crush on __________________

this year for christmas, i desperately wish someone would buy me ________________________

my hobbies include:

i seem to never find the opportunity to talk about ______________ online.

the last movie i watched was ____________, and i saw it on ______________________.

i will never forget the time i ______________________________.

and of course, a gift for wtvoc:

All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff.

today's episode sees the introduction of my favorite not-buffy character, female division:

also, i distinctly remember gasping and clutching my pearls at the very very end of this one.  discuss back nudity in this campfire!

Gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme MORE...

Ever read that one-shot that leaves you begging, pleading, panting for more more more...then it doesn't happen? Or if it does it's a quickie 3 shot thingy that feels good but not enough because the story is just too good for something quick?

What one-shots should be...should have been expanded?

Rob wishes they were continued too...

WHO IS GOING TO GO?!

I KNOW I AMMMM

I'M SO EXCITEDDDD

they are touring the US next summer, if they don't come to Canada - i will die.

i have been waiting for this touring for years.

Hi there, campers! I'm new to the forest and wanted to say hello!

Shout out to my homegirl incomple aka Lauren. She'll be my tour guide while I try to navigate the grounds.

Can anybody offer recs for some juicy fanfics I MUST read?

Looking forward to getting to know all you fellow twi-hards :)

REMEMBER THIS LITTLE HEADACHE?

Idreamofeddy removed her fics!

The Orbiting Meteor was one of my all time favorites, so it is quite upsetting to me that she didn't finish it.  Does anyone know why she did this?

RANGER NOTE- LET'S MAKE SURE IT STAYS CIVIL, GUYS. DON'T GET ROWDY UP IN HERE. - Cap

 JENNYFLY EDIT: NO MORE. CAPRICORN 75 HAS ASKED ME TO PUT THIS THREAD TO BED SINCE Y'ALL CAN'T BEHAVE

YEAH WELL I TOOK THE WHOLE CAMPFIRE DOWN. I SAVED ALL THE CONTENT. NO, DON'T ASK ME FOR IT UNLESS YOU ARE A RANGER. AND EVEN THEN, DON'T ASK ME TODAY. IT'S TOTALLY AGAINST MY NATURE AND AGAINST FOREST POLICY TO REMOVE CONTENT FROM THE FOREST, BUT I COULDN'T TAKE THIS ONE ANY MORE. I COULDN'T STAND THE PMs AND THE EMAILS. IT WAS A CASE OF TOO MANY CAMPERS WITH TOTALLY DIFFERENT SENSES OF HUMOR AND DIFFERENT COMFORT LEVELS PLAYING IN THE SAME JOKEBOX. SOME FOLKS DON'T KNOW THEIR OWN STRENGTH. SOME FOLKS HAVE THINNER SKINS. SOME FOLKS HAVE HAD THEIR HAIR PULLED FOR SO MANY YEARS THEY JUST DON'T NOTICE IT ANY MORE... SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? I'M SAYING THERE'S NO BLAME TO THROW HERE. WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES AND WE ENTERTAIN OURSELVES IN DIFFERENT WAYS; WE THINK DIFFERENTLY; WE REACT DIFFERENTLY. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SINGLE REACTION BETTER OR WORSE OR MORE RIGHTEOUS OR JUST OR WICKED OR FIENDISH THAN ANY OTHER. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE FOREST IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PLACE WHERE WE CAN PLAY TOGETHER DESPITE (OR BETTER YET, IN CELEBRATION OF) OUR DIFFERENCES. BUT SOMETIMES A TOPIC COMES UP WHERE THE THICK SKINNED PUPS IN THE PACK TUMBLE A BIT TOO WILDLY FOR SOME AND THE MOTHER WOLF HAS TO GRAB ONE OR TWO OF THEM BY THE SCRUFF. THAT'S JUST HOW THESE THINGS GO.

IN CONCLUSION. DOO NOT EVEN THINK OF STARTING THAT CONVERSATION BACK UP AGAIN. I WILL SERIOUSLY LOSE IT.

THIS CAN BE AN APPRECIATION CAMPFIRE. INTERPRET THAT HOW YOU WILL.

We're on a ROLL!

We had PRE-TWILIGHT fics on Monday.  TWILIGHT fics on Tuesday.  Today, I am soliciting your NEW MOON AU FIC RECS.

For stories that take place as an New Moon AU. Meaning covering the time period of New Moon and after. This is arguably one of THE largest categories in the realm of Twilight Fan Fiction, because almost EVERYONE had SOMETHING to say about how Edward left and how Bella welcomed him home!

So...which stories are your favorites? Remember...these are stories that begin and/or end in the NEW MOON time frame.  They are Alternate Universe (meaning vamps and/or werewolves). BUT if you have CANON NEW MOON FICS, those are welcome, too.

The difference in this series of lists and others in the fandom is that these stories are chosen by our campers as being worthy of someone's time.  So share with us your favorite NEW MOON fics!

My recs will be within.

Thank you for sharing your favorites around the fire!

This week’s game: 

Ode to FanFic

Ode to FanFic

Are you a poet and didn’t even know it?
 

Write a verse, limerick, rhyme, haiku, sonnet, song verse, a simple sentence, something short and pretty that describes, discusses or celebrates a particular fanfic. Then leave guesses for other entries.

Guidelines:
1. Your poem can be a limerick, rhyme, haiku, sonnet, song verse, a simple sentence, anything as long as it describes, discusses, celebrates or gives clue to a particular fanfic.
2. Don’t give away the fanfic title or author in your poem.
3. When you leave a guess, make sure to also enter a poem as well! Try both rhyme and reason!

** Remember, your "poem" just has to be a few words about a fic.  Don't worry about if it's actually a poem - heck, we just want to have fun and joke around!
 

Example 1:

He says “Come” and boy, do I;
He’s my special 50 shades guy.

Special thanks to The Ranger Who Loves Danger:  grown.ass.woman for stickage :)

My first entry's inside :) 

Hey Ladies - I'm about to embark on a major housecleaning expedition this morning, and thought I'd pull out my twilight soundtracks for some background tunes. 

My questions for you guys - are you happy with the music on the soundtracks?  Which one is your favorite?  Which songs do you wish they included but didn't?  Any that you love/hate? Thoughts for songs they should use for (dare I say it) Breaking Dawn?

And this is totally irrelevant, but kinda cool....from my backyard this morning....here moosey moosey!

We've all seen them.  There are several award programs out there that recognize our beloved fanfic authors and their wonderful works of literature.  The only problem is the same fics tend to win every time. 

Not that they don't deserve it, but because of their popularity they walk away with awards that some of the lesser known fics should also be recognized for.

The Sparkleteers have recognized this and have formed an award group that allows all fics to be recognized for their greatness.  Check out and nominate your favorite fics in The Sparkleteers Rare Gem Awards.

For more info and updates make to also follow their twitter account: TheSparkleteers

Lately there's been a lot of Author bashing in the fandom for a lot of different reasons, so today I think we should focus on the positive

Which Author's do you appreciate and why?

Is it for their regular updates?

Their review replies?

Come on in and share, everyone loves to be appreciated!!

*approved by GAW

It's that time of year again.  The nights are getting colder, the days are growing shorter, and the holidays are upon us.  I don't know about you guys but this is my favorite time of year to bake and I am especially fond of anything pumpkin flavored.  I would like to dedicate this post to pumpkin flavored/inspired recipes but also to anything Fall-ish.  Apples, cider, squash, holiday recipes, even Halloween (because for me Halloween is every day).

I'll put mine in the comments.  Please share yours.  Thank you!

Would anyone be willing to pre-read my next update for me?  It's a little over 17 pages and it's been sitting on my laptop for the longest time now, so I would like to post it soon ^_^

It's a better sweet moment today.

As with all fics I love, I'm happy and sad to announce that grown.ass.woman's All At Once ended today.

This story was beyond amazing, captivating, real, etc.

If you haven't read it....go...like now.

If you want to discuss, I'll be hangning around.
