Not a pretty post. Let's discuss the dark side of canon.

Esme-Not exactly stable. Many people feel she is bordering on hysteria. "I love everyone!" "Decorate!" And let's not forget that she threw herself over a cliff.

Carlisle-Dr Frankenstein? Is he creating monsters in his image everywhere? Cult members?

Edward-(please don't kill me) Is he a sociopath? a murderer? maybe just a manipulative OCD stalker?

The Pack-imprinting? that's a whole other topic but WTF?

We all know Alice's past.

I want to discuss this in an intelligent way. Are you offended by the fluff disguising the emotional issues?

So I'm trying to explain to one of my male friends today that Rob just has the most ridiculous Panty Dropping Smile. My friend said he needs to work on getting one of those. Can you please help him (and well, lets be honest me) by posting your thoughts on Rob's best PDS? I'm thinking some lip biting, eyebrow arched, hair tugging is involved but am totally open to your postings! Thank you!!!

And of course a starting point...

this is a lost/glee/whatever else is on tonight discussion post

 RANGER EDIT:

i think you mean

I HAVE A REQUEST FOR ROSEWARD. MORE SPECIFIC THAN THAT, PRE-TWILIGHT AU ROSEWARD.

But... but are there are AUs that actually end up as Roseward? I don't want it to be canon, you see. Twilight (and therefore Bella Swan) must never be. Are there any such fics where vamp Edward and Rosalie stay together at the end? I don't care, there can be a Bella thrown in there, I just want the ending to be a vampiric Roseward.

 I am thrilled that there is a NEW contest devoted to the Cullen who really needs to get more POSITIVE attention!

You can click on the banner for all of the information. Our own fabulous VIP Author and fellow Emmett lover, HMonster (check out her new Emmett fic, Lillies..soooo good) is one of the judges of this bad-boy, so I can't wait to see what kind of great fic comes out of it. 

and OMG, I love that the site mentions ROCKETSCIENTISTmett...I've never had a named character before!!!

So please check it out and get writing. Don't be shy, one shot contests are a great way to get your feet wet writing. So if you are a newbie why not give it a shot!

To keep the Emmett love going, I would like you to post a picture of how YOU picture Emmett. It can be from Canon or from a fic. Come on, make Emibella happy :)

I asked yesterday where to find the one-shots I keep hearing people talk about, and angstgoddess pointed me to TLYDF.  I've spent a good part of the day reading the latest winners and omg, I laughed so hard at this one:

It's a 2 chapter short story that put me in tears.

I haven't finished reading them all but I really liked this one too:

Similar to the post below http://adifferentforest.com/Campfire_Comment.aspx I began wondering what people's talents are, their hobbies and what they know lots about?

I think having this might make things easier for fanfic writers to research if they have a question they can't just look up and need advice on. Don't you think?

Well, list what your talents are, your hobbies and what you're good at and say in your post if you're happy for anyone to ask you questions about it.

I'll list mine in the comments. Not that there are many. :P

Unholy.obsession has just posted her final chapter of How to Save a Life....

It's rather heartbreaking that this is over.  Now I have nothing to look forward to on Sundays...well, except for River Dam of course.

So, if you haven't read it, you should definitely go check it out. 

And if you are reading it, tell me what you think about the ending. Are you happy? angry? indifferent?

I write a fic called Lights, Camera, Heartache, but I want to rename it and I have no good ideas. Anybody with intensely creative thoughts have an idea?

This is the summary;

Marriage first, then kids. That's how it goes for most people. Bella Swan isn't most people, though.

She mothered his daughter, unbeknownst to him. Now she's a small town teacher with a bestseller and a broken heart, hiding her true feelings from the rest of the world. He's America's hottest actor, cheerful for the cameras, but he doesn't have his family fooled.

She can't go anywhere without seeing his face and he can't go one second without thinking about her. They've both made mistakes, and they've both screwed up. They both wish that they could move on, but neither of them is ready to give up on the memories of the past, no matter how much pain is caused in the process.

I was thinking of calling it Lies and Illusions, because of things that come up later, but that seems like it indicates a lot of angst, and there isn't a ton of angst, I don't think. Does that sound okay, or no?

If anyone's got an idea, credit will totally be given when I post the next chapter on ff and in the summary box on Twilighted.

Incentive:

I'm being nosy again. Yesterday, it was rudely about your age. Today, it's (hopefully) less rudely about what your career/occupation/job is - and whether or not you're happy with it, or want to be something else?

I'm currently a full-time student and unemployed. I'm in school to be a social worker. 

Your turn!

I finally came out to my battle buddy (military thing-pretty much, wives that stick together while our hubby's are deployed.) about my fanfiction/fandom involvement.  This is the first RL person that I've told-hubby doesn't even know.

We started talking about BD and was trying to explain the whole 'imprinting' thing to another coworker when my BB proposed an interesting theory that I'd never thought about.

I've heard multiple times from many people how the whole Jacob being 'in love' with Bella through Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse/Half of BD and then *BAM!* he imprints on Nessie and doesn't give a second thought to Bella, you know, that girl he had feelings for? Yeah, her.  She's chopped liver now.

Please hold on for a second-I don't wish to rehash this issue, that is not the point of this post.  What my BB suggested is what if Jacob did have feelings for Bella, but it was only because she was carrying the egg that was half of Nessie?  What if his 'werewolf' instincts or whatever could sense this, but he thought he really was in love with her?  I think it makes sense (well, about as much sense as anything in S. Meyer's world can) and makes it less wishy-washy when it comes to his feelings.  Technically he couldn't have imprinted on Bella because she wasn't his mate.  However, she was carting around half of the DNA and genes that his mate would one day possess...so no wonder he felt some residual feelings for her.

What do you all think?    Are there any crazy, off the wall theories you've thought of that seem like they might work?    Could you see this working, or has the vicodin I've been on for my migraine finally fried what was left of my brain cells?

Some Prettehz for your time:

And for WTVOC:

Aww...he looks so cute-like a kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar!

 ranger edit: my inner commentary of this picture is much dirtier than yours.  <3

Let's talk about weddings. I was watching wedding first dances on youtube and it was so much FUN!

Like this couple who danced to Baby Got Back! You have to admit, it's ballsy!

So, let's talk about your wedding if you're married or your dream wedding if you're not. Personally, I don't want to get married but if I ever do, I'll go to city hall in a pretty black dress and Chucks and I won't care if my guests wear jeans. But what about YOU?

What song played for your first dance?

How was the cake?

What kind of dress you wore?

Small wedding or big wedding?

Best or worse day of your life?

Gimme some pictures while you're at it! I want to see the radiant smiles, the beautiful dresses and the tearful moments!

EDIT: If you're not comfortable sharing your private lives, link me some funny first dance videos or anything else relating to the topic.

This was ranger approved by the lovely pixievamp!

Hello!! this is my first time posting here.. *waves shyly"

So my question is, if you could kiss anyone to celebrate this day who would it be??!!!

(hope this campfire is okay)

SMUT

I'm not ashamed to say I likes me some good pervy stuff. Sometimes a girl just needs to get her freak on.

Oh and throw in some plot.

Along the lines of: Heartbreak Remedy, The Submissive/Dominant, Next Weekend.....

And I'd give you some Robporn for your efforts but i'm too lazy to figure out why my pics don't stay in here.

So I went to this awesome gig on sunday. The band was called Does It Offend You, Yeah? great electro/indie band that everyone needs to check out. Anyway it was completely mental, all strobe lighting, stage diving and crowd surfing. There was a major mosh pit going on and my friend pushed me right into a hurricane of large, sweaty boys bashing into each other. By the way I'm 5 ft so, you know, I was crushed. There was beer, cider, red bull and what not thrown everywhere, and I'm pretty sure someone spat in my hair D: But I had a great time. I love going to full out, energy bursting, mental gigs.

When this song came on everyone screamed and I went home pretty much deaf.

I want to know what past bands do you think Edward, patriot saint and lover of music, went to?

I'm pretty sure he would have gone to a Joy Division gig, just standing in the crowd, eye closed and emphathising with the decrepit, lonely, depressing lyrics and Ian Curtis's bass-baritone voice, even singing along! Yup I can imagine him doing that.

Also gisa some of your gig/concert/rave/festival stories. I would love to hear what you crazy girls got up to

you must read Stampede of a thousand pulses

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5676099/1/Stampede_Of_A_Thousand_Pulses

Summary: A love so desperate it typifies addiction. "No one else." And he sounds so barbaric; the first sentence that carries no stutter is not sweet or even gentle. "Only me."

A few authors have been rec'ing it and i finally read it today. I think it is really good.

Its breaking my heart, by i cant wait to read more.

So I am at work....BLAH..and it's raining...BLAH.....and I am bored which means if you would PLEASE give me some completed, funny, sexy fics to read I would be greatly HAPPY!!! I love having a good fic to read on a rainy day, then everyone thinks I am busy and leaves me the hell alone...HA!!

So please give me something to do.

THANK YOU!!!!

 Hi everyone, I'm new here but I love reading Edward and Bella fan fictions. I would like to know what is a fanfic downloader. 

Excuse me if I don't express myself very clearly because I am French.
