Collab Meet and Greet

Wednesday April 21, 2010 at 11:43 AM

Janco's collab fire made me think about the fact that I've wanted to write a collab with someone for a long time, but don't really know anyone to do it with.  I'm not picky about subject/topic/genre, etc. I just know that reading other's writing helps get the creative juices flowing, but I haven't been sure how to go about finding someone to write with.  With that in mind, I thought I'd start a fire where people interested in collabing could meet others and maybe find a writing partner.

So, if you're interested in collabing with someone on a story, drop a line here.  Maybe introduce yourself, let us know what type of story you like to read/write, if you have an idea already in mind, even give a link or paste an example of your writing style.  Hopefully, we can all find ourselves a writing mate.

rec it to me good

Wednesday April 21, 2010 at 10:42 AM

Not entirely sure if i can do this but here goes...

I've been reading a lot of campfires where people are seeking recs and instead of replying to them all because i get too excited and can't think of the good ones, im gonna list them here. I just want people to know what i'm reading because i am a *gasp* closet fictioner/forester/pervert.

So I'm gonna shout these out, holla if you love em or know more like em! (and i'm an e/b fan so that's what these are). and these are all on fanfic. ill send you the link if you let me know which one.

1) Decoy by 107yearoldvirgin- bella has returned to Forks, a well seasoned nudist, and she wants Edward. She blackmails him. It's basically what I'm living for at the moment. It's a high school fic.

2) The Gentleman from Washington State by Betty Smith.......three words. forbidden. young. love... err maybe lust. oh and politics but not to the point that i'm confused and lost in the story because of them.

3) Unfaithful by PuppetStrings19- uh yea, you'll pop a smut nut. Edward cheats on alice with her sis Bella.

4) Disappear Here by h32mh32m - just some good ol' angst and a creepy stalker who I like to think is prob the Ward and if not, they better start humping soon anyways. lolz

5) White Lies by netracullen- owns me everytime it updates. I really like her writing. it's smooth. reeeaaaalll smooth. Edward age, like 37 and Bella, age 19. Fun fun fun.

and i know you're all aware that BAD HABIT: Book Two: New Habits has started and if you aren't, stop everything and go read the first chap. NOW. Do IT NOW.

FIC REC

Wednesday April 21, 2010 at 9:22 AM

I HAVE A REC, YOU GUISE. AND I'M HAVING A CAPS LOCK DAY, OK?

IT'S CALLED THE DIFFERENCE.

IT STARTED AS A RESPONSE TO A PROMPT I LEFT AT FORKS HIGH SCHOOL. (WHICH IS A COMMUNITY WHERE A BUNCH OF US LEFT PROMPTS FOR STORIES WE WANTED WRITTEN.)

I AM NOT RECCING JUST B/C I PROMPTED. I'M RECCING B/C IT IS COMPLEX AND RELATEABLE. BUT IT IS ALSO A VERY QUICK READ.

LIKE, THE CHAPTERS ARE AROUND 500 WORDS OR SO. AND THERE'S ONLY NINE CHAPTERS SO FAR.

GO READ IT (IT WILL TAKE YOU LIKE 5 MIN) AND THEN COME BACK AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

The Best Collab Ever!

Wednesday April 21, 2010 at 8:47 AM

In the spirit of "ADF tries to experiment" I want to start something new and fun or disastrous.

I am going to post one paragraph, the first paragraph, to a one-shot in Edward POV.

And if all of you would post something--it doesn't matter what:

Dialogue

Setting

Random sentence

I am going to compile ALL of them and try to gel them into one, big, probably ridiculous, one shot.  The best part?

It will be written by ALL those who contribute and posted in Storytelling as such.  Everyone will be a fic author :)

This time around, I'm asking we keep severe smut out, as I want everyone to feel comfortable contributing and being a part of this.

You can make your contribution humor, angst, ridiculous, or you can try to go with some sort of cohesiveness and attempt to stick with some kind of plot.

The opening paragraph will be the first comment by me.

 RANGER EDIT: I don't want to see any more contributions where y'all apologize for your words. Each of you is a valuable contributor, even if you've never written anything before.

ALSO, I THINK A GRAPHICALLY INCLINED CAMPER SHOULD CONTRIBUTE A BANNER TO THIS EPIC MESS. Any takers?

/jennyfly

okay, participation has petered out, so i'm capping this sucker at 100 comments. speak now or forever hold your peace.

According to sources the movers and shakers at Summit Entertainment have bought the exclusive movie rights to the NY Times #1 Bestseller Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus and if they want to make it a family affair, they should stick with two stars they already KNOW will be perfect for the roles.

Summit is the company that is bringing The Twilight Saga to the screen, but it looks like the next installment will mark the end of the series.

So what better story to cover next than MAFM,WAFV?

Think about it… it’s a built-in lock! By the time StewPatz are free to make the film they’ll already have hit a wall in their relationship where each finds it hard to understand the other. The press will be speculating about the split even MORE than we are guessing at the supposed union. AND Rob already knows how to do an American accent.

The Anatomy of a Vampire

Tuesday April 20, 2010 at 9:12 PM

I have often wondered at the anatomy of a vampire but I have more questions when it comes to Stephenie Meyer's version of vampires.  I have been even more curious since reading fanfic and all the lemons that sometimes come along with them.  I love Twilight but the physiology of the sparkling vampire just doesn't make sense to me. 

For example: If there is no blood circulating through their system, how do they get erections?  Would it be venom rushing to the member?  I'm thinking purely scientific here.  I have to know how things work.

If I wanted to write a story about vampires, I think I would study the physiology of leeches, ticks and mosquitos. Here nature has provided us with a model of organisms who feed off blood.  (*Please note: In nature leeches feed primarily on small invertebrates and eat them whole.)  Leeches have closed circulatory vessels and when they feed they secrete not only an anesthetic so the host does not feel them feeding from them but also an anti-clotting enzyme.

Okay - putting aside all that leech/scientific talk, I just want to know this: How do they get a boner if their bodies aren't circulating blood?

So we've had a show yourself post, now show us your pets.

So I have a pet snake. I won't show a pic because I know some people have snake phobias, but he really is beautiful. His name is Monty :) I would LOVE a pet turtle aswell. And a pet rabbit, but they're illegal in Queensland, Australia :(

 

ETA: Let me know if you're all good with me posting a pic of Monty?

Ranger Edit: We welcome ALL animals here in the forest. There is a cute picture of Monty posted in the thread. If this bothers you-don't click on the comments.

Who's Got the Herb?

Tuesday April 20, 2010 at 6:26 PM

Today is 420, one of the most important and greatest holidays of the fracken year. Why there hasn't been a post for this yet, I don't know but here it is. 

Me and the BF celebrate every year by going up to  Mt.Baldy and doing this

then this

while we listen to this

The first time I smoked was when I was 13 and bored. I didn't like it and didnt smoke for another 2 years. Then  I got into the rave scene, and learned there was such thing as a good bag.

So campers, what do you do to celebrate? Do you smoke or bake your stuff? IS there music you listen to? What do you like to munch on afterwards?

Also, share your "popping the herb" stories, idgaf. I'm blase right now eating my cotton candy.

this was approved by @DifferentForest. I have the tweet to prove it

 

this is still dedicated to tkmoon, who im thinking of calling in a bit to harass.

also this was not supposed to be offensive, sorry if it offended people. im gonna get off now and write. 

RANGER EDIT: We encourage ALL conversations here in the forest-no matter what the topic. People can disagree respectfully but please do not shy away from making posts about controversial topics. Thank you.

Plagiarized Book

Tuesday April 20, 2010 at 6:21 PM

If these kinds of posts aren't allowed, I apologize, but this fic(link) is a word for word, save for name changes, copy of Beth Fantaskey's novel Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. I just feel like it should be removed.

Coachella hookup?

Tuesday April 20, 2010 at 5:19 PM

I saw this floating around twitter and thought it was interesting.

"Supposedly" Kristen has met up at Coachella with her ex, Michael "MrSpices" Oregano. There isn't a shot of their faces but it looks exactly like her (and him).

Is there a double standard with these shots? Are people more likely to deny them because it's not R/K?

You be the judge.

 Or, you know, spam this with pics of me Isla Fisher and make me happy
