Ok, if someone could help me find this fic I'd be really grateful!  Basically the summary was something along the lines of Bella is married to James and he beats her but no one believes her because she's a capable woman or something like that.  The only one who will believe her is Dr. Cullen (Edward).  I know I just looked at this summary in the past couple of days and I can't for the life of me figure out where i saw it or what it was called.  So please help. :D

And fyt...  how about a little Edward getting forceful anyone?  Sorry it's so small.

I'm a sucker for E/B AH stories where they were childhood best friends (or at least, good friends), and end up romantically involved either slowly, or one leaves and they later reunite and realize their attraction.  

 I can't get enough of them.  I like it best when they were actually "childhood" best friends instead of first meeting when Bella moves in as a young teen, but hey i'd take the latter too.  

(not as much into those where E is "B's brother's best friend", or that he pranked on her all the time but secretly liked her anyways, although i'll take those too. I'm just a sucker.  so i also liked "My Brother's Best Friend" by jennlynnfs and its EPOV version)

I just love these plots.  Even though they're ubiquitous and somewhat predictable, talented authors can make them great reads nonetheless.

My absolute favs in this category are:

Hydraulic Level 5 by Gondolier
Kissed the Girls and Make Them Cry by justaskalice
Lucky Charm
Rhapsody in B
A Rite of Passage by caracol (and its sequel The Way Back)

I also liked:
Make Me Believe by bellasunderstudy1
 (although the "childhood" background isn't as plush as most of the story focus on what happened after they hooked up)
The Blessing and The Curse by The Black Arrow (this is in the subcategory of Edward continuously tortured Bella but hey, when the writing's THIS good, i won't be picky about this being not exactly my fav plot)

I am sure there are TONS of other great stories along these lines, I haven't listed them not because I don't like them, but rather, I probably just don't know about them.  I'm just not well-read enough.  So i need some help from you.... can anyone rec me some of your favs in this category?  I don't mind angst, correction:  i LOVE angst, as long as it's resolved properly... hopefully HEA.  I'll read incomplete works too, but prefer Complete ones.  or Almost Complete.  I tend to mix up the plots if the wait is too long LOL

Thanks!

Tis true. Tis true. I'm not ashamed of it.

He's uber cute and super talented and SWOON as Link Larkin in the remake of Hairspray, which if you've seen the original, is a sort of very different Link. But one I'm totally ALL FOR!

I've just recently watched the High School Musicals because I hadn't seen them. They're not bad, Disney channel type quality stuff. So not bad. But I'm loving what he has been doing apart from that.

Hairspray being my favorite but I totally got down with Me and Orson Wells and 17Again.

(pelvic-thrusting Zac for the win!)

 OR This could be a I LOVE Hairspray campfire too. The original or the remake.

So get in here and Zac spam me or talk fawn over him with me!

Just wondering, but has anyone had a really bad past 24hrs like i have?

Yesterday started out REALLY good, which should have been my first clue that something was going to go wrong. I have a 1992 chevy truck, it's big, it's loud and i love it =) well yesterday was the first day that my dad had it running and i could drive it.... The truck was running great, nothing going wrong. i drove around town for over an hour and it didn't get hot or anything and i was on my way home and was less than half a mile from my house and it blew a huge cloud of smoke behind me (enter the moment where it all went downhill). 

There was a guy that pulled over behind me and thought it was just something as simple as a hose that came off but when i tried to leave it wouldn't move... the big cloud of smoke happened to be all of my transmission fluid *sarcastic fistpump* well after the guy gave me a ride to my house i had to find someone to tow my truck home.... i had to suck it up and call my stepdad to tow it back. for those of you that don't know, I can't stand my stepdad.... he is the one person i can actually say I hate (there are many reasons why) so for me to call him it took a lot. 

Then pretty much whenever i have to go into my job here lately it's just bad... we work short EVERY weekend. But the truck just kind of ruined it all... i was excited because i've been waiting to drive it for a few weeks and now i have to wait  probably another week.

so anyways... rant, rage.... about whatever you want =)

The only decent show on UK television on a Saturday is the X Factor. We wouldn't watch it otherwise. But I was excited for it tonight for one reason:

HALLOWEEN THEMED SONGS.

What did you think of Halloween themed X Factor night?

Loved how Cher Lloyd sung a non-rap song?
Hated how half of the songs weren't even Halloween themed?
Hated Wagner all together? Loved him?

Share. I've shared inside. I've also gave links for the peformances.

X Factor is a singing talent contest. For those who don't watch it.

Omg guys and welcome to another instalment of the horror watch along, this week we are focusing on asian movies and the winner of the poll this week. *drum roll*

That's right this week we are watching the movie with the crazy chick.

I'll be hosting the watchalong on gchat and msn messenger from 7 PM Eastern time (which is about 30 minutes from now) and the first movie should be over around 9-ish. And then around this time (if you missed the first showing) we'll start the movie once again.

*You can PM us your email to make sure you join us in the conversations, or to ask for links!

However if you choose to do neither, you can still comment here on the campfire.

(Look in the comments for megavideo and youtube links!)

Special thanks go to BeanFlikn247 for making our awesome banner!

I'm not looking for a specific story, I'm just looking to satisfy my curiosity.

Has there ever been a story where Edward never leaves in New Moon?  One where, for example, Alice foresees the papercut happening, so it never does.  There are dozens of stories out there where other big events in the plotline are changed, but I can't think of a single example of this, and neither can anybody who replied to me on Twitter.

Surely these stories exist?  Think about the possibilities that are open to the writer who goes down this route...

Now someone explain to me what the hell happened in the last chapter.

There's just two more days to go for NaNoWriMo! How are things going for everyone planned to participate? Do you feel ready? Do you feel LOST? Need some help? A shoulder to cry on? A paper bag to breathe into? Spill it all here! Make friends, find writing buddies! Let's talk NaNo!

(So I am going to take advantage of free for all weekend)

Dear ADF,

My mother recently let me in on her secret, that she is writing a original fiction.  She doesn't want anyone to know until she sends it in to try to get it published but she wanted me to read it. Okay, ten pages in, not such a bad story line. However, there are some things that bother my about this story she is writing. She told me she is basing this loosely off her own life and how she would deal if she was suddenly transported back in time and had a chance to go meet her dad as a little boy and her grandfather she never knew.  She describes herself as, well, herself (except making her sound like Mother Theresa, I kid you not). She describes my dad correctly, right down to the car he drives.  She describes my older sister correctly, down to the fnancial issues (and gives her character my middle sisters kids, erasing her own kids). My middle sister, she makes a successful screenwriter (she gave up editing to be a SAHM in real life). And my character, her third daughter and last child, she made a dimwitted, unmotivated BOY!!!! Okay, I am not dumb, I understand I was the last attempt at a boy, but come on! And I am not the unmotivated failure she imagines me to be. I graduated at the top of my class within my major for goodness sake!! Yeah, I am currently a SAHM, so sue me.

So campers, do I approach her about this, or try to get it to roll off my back?

 

Hi all,

I haven't been on here in an age. Anyway I'm back and looking to be educated.

Can someone explain to this Brit what 'The Tea Party Movement' is?

I've gathered they're way over on the right and I've jumped to the conclusion they like a nice cup of tea but that's all I know.

Just curious as they keep getting mentioned on the news.

I tried to find a picture of Mr Pattinson drinking tea but I failed : (

Why hello everyone!

Um, I've pretty recently published a fanfic called Battle Scars. 

And I was wondering if there is anyone out there interested in making a banner for it? 

Personally, my attempts at banners are embarrassing, but I would like a banner for my story anyway, so since it's FFA, I was wondering if anyone would like to help me?

THANKS FOR READING

STARS

Summary: They say you can't be everything to everyone, but she was everything to me. My best friend, my first kiss, my biggest love, my hardest fall. But what was I to her?

A couple months ago, I hadn’t read any femmeslash, but once I read some of the amazing stuff out there, I couldn’t stop looking for more. So when the Two Is Better Than Once contest came out, and it was for slash or femmeslash, I thought hmmmm. Why not? I chatted it up with fngrcufs because she's my femmeslash go-to girl and talked her into writing with me (it didn't take much!).  Because writing girls you love with a girl you love… that’s good stuff. Stars is a Leah/Rosalie AH one shot, and while we were writing it, we fell in love with them. It's a story about coming-of-age, friendship and self-discovery.

We'd love for you to check it out if you're interested! 

Looking for Halloween mood music

I've got to work through the whole weekend, and need to get a little Halloween fix.

Pics, vids, jokes?

Help me out, please.

Music Playlist at MixPod.com

Continues.

Keep posting whatever you want (without swearing on the MAIN POST, thank you).

just don't sniff me, okay--and for god's sake don't try to dump me off my swing.

Instead, might I suggest posting photos of your pumpkins, pets, children, food, costumes, shoes,new favorite movie posters, a rant about something you've been annoyed by in the media, the new line that now appears on your forehead everytime you are annoyed... the list is endless. Carry on.

edit:

So I just checked my email and found that the author known as nobloodnofoul posted 4 one shots today from FGB. When I clicked on the links though, all the stories were taken down. Now it looks like they weren't up very long. Does anyone have any idea what happened? A couple of the one shots sounded fantastic and I would love to read them.

Okay so I just saw elle's post on Fallen and Torment and I noticed a few people have read atleast Fallen. It inspired me to do a campfire on Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. It's supernatural so it kind of goes with Halloween.

I was wondering Have you read this book? And if not WHY NOT? It is one of my absolute favourites! For those who have read it what did you think?

Whether you liked Fallen or not this is definately a story you should read! It's mysterious and sweet and good for Twilight lovers (So I believe anyway)

So this weekend, my town is being taken over yet again by rally-ers. Only this time, they are rallying for Sanity. Crazy, I know. 

It seems to be pretty popular: the streets are crowded, the metro is full, and there isn't one spot of decent street parking as far as the eye can see. For those of you who are from all the other lovely countries (meaning aside from here in the old US of A) around the globe or who just don't follow Stewart or Colbert, this is the John Stewart/ Steven Colbert Rally that is happening in DC tomorrow. So, I must know... 

Are any of you lovely campers going to be attending? Do you think this is a silly idea? A great one? Have you even heard of it? Come in and chat...

I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED!!!!!   But then, that is just me... how about you?

Are you in the Los Angeles area? Don't have plans for Halloween night?  It is a Sunday and I don't know about you but I'm getting all the party out on Saturday night so Sunday I am taking it easy and considering doing this:

Twilight Trilogy
Sun., October 31

Warner Grand Theatre
478 W. Sixth St. San Pedro, CA 90731 | South Bay | (310) 548-7672
 

Price: $8, $20 all three films
Twilight Trilogy
All three vampire blockbusters in a row: Twilight (2008), 1 p.m.; Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), 4 p.m.; Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010), 8 p.m..

I'm thinking of going in a twilight themed costume...maybe as a rabid Team Edward Fangirl. 

Anyone interested?
