Okay bb's, I have a free house, chocolate, alcohol and a ravenous two month withdrawral from FanFic that is now DEMANDING its fix!

Some serious Reccing is needed.

I'm thinking AH, College setting, Sex, Drugs and outrageous circumstances. A no BS Bella.  I wanna Laugh, I can handle some tears. Complete prefereable.

But if there is anything out there that MUST be read, send em over.

I'm shaking with anticipation!

You guys are my only hope! (does anyone else get bummed that their RL friends don't read FF?)

Thank you : )

Just got this PM on ff.net:

Hi. My name is ***.   I loved your story, The Best Man. Before you think this message is just to praise your story, please give serious consideration for what I have to say. I love writing. I may be young, but the more years that go by, the more spoiled a mind becomes. I really want to discuss if you would let me use your idea and turn it into a real book. This story deserves more than just fanfiction. The characters should become real, have personalities of their own. This story has such a great plot, humor and love and laughs. I'd like to write a story with this main idea from you: a girl comes back to her hometown to be with her best friend, competes to be the Best Man with her best friend's brother (secret crush), and ends up with him. It is entirely your plot, but I want to make it into a real novel, and add more personality to the character. Of course I know that you may not give this a second thought, it is in fact your story, but please think about it. I loved reading this and I'd enjoy writing it as a book. If you happen to agree, which I understand if you don't, I'd of course credit the plot to you. Please messsage me back to talk about if you would let me take on this wonderful opportunity. Thank you so much for the amazing story (I still tear up listening to The Time of Your Life, I'm such a softie), I hope to hear back from you. Yours truly,***. (P.S. I am a girl, alot of people mistake the name for a guy, and I am pretty young, but like I said, age is but a number)

Now... she said she's young.  I am NOT trying to bash this person.  (I even removed her name.) But honestly?  I mean... come on!  Or am I really making too big a deal about someone asking if they can take my story and make it their own?

If you are a writer...what is the most whacked out request/comment you've received in reviews/PM lately??? 

(My response to the girl is in my cabin, in case anyone is interested.)

 This is what Smosh think Roberts abilites would be if he was a Pokemon.

 Met Jackson Rathbone!  100 Monkeys did an in-store appearance at FYE in Boston.  They did a free acoustic set and then a signing.  They were all super nice.

Pics and vid for you:

Hey, I'm in pain, so humor me.

In TWILIGHT, Edward asks Bella a bunch of questions to get to know her because he can't read her mind, and his curiosity is therefore insatiable.

So, aside from "What's your favorite color?" which SM let us in on, what other questions do you think he asked her?

I would have asked her if she'd ever done anything rebellious and ended up grounded or in detention at school.

What did he ask? What would you ask? My favorite color is green.

COME ON!

What is it exactly about RPFs that people find so taboo and/or offensive? Almost every author I've spoken with about them has a serious dislike of them. Why? I'm the writer of an RPF so I'd just like to know for my own sake.  Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated!

I've posted a bit, but this is the first campire I've started. Hi, all.

So maybe reality is a ludicrous concept when we're talking fan fic based on a story about vampires, and many of said fics include vampires, but bear with me.....

Does it bother you when parts of a fic are impossible or in some way inaccurate... besides the appearance of the vampires?  Like with the main characters, do you have a problem with Alice and Edward's gifts being intact in an AH story?  It doesn't bother me for some reason that Edward can read Bella's mind in TB&TC, but I read another fic where Alice was psychic, and it did bother me, because it seemed to be there as nothing more than plot convenience.

Moving away from the characters, what about other details?  Is it a problem for you when the writer thinks you can drive from Chicago to Forks in less than a day?  Mapquest says this takes 34 hours.  Does it bother you when someone in the story can easily commute from Forks to Seattle for work or school each day?  Mapquest says this drive is 3 1/2 hours -- one way.

Does it bother you when a 9-months pregnant woman is allowed to fly?  Or a trial is moved OUT OF STATE due to the publicity?  Does it matter if it's a relatively unimportant detail in the story, or if it's a major plot point? 

If you're a writer, would you appreciate a review that pointed out inaccuracies?  Or since none of this is real, would you be offended by being corrected?  Am I completely OCD to want everything in the storyline to be plausible, except for the vamps, of couse?

I know weird question but really, Have you?

I get so tickled when I see people I know on TV, even if I see Kristen Or Rob on a movie.

I'm like Oh! Oh! I know them.

I know its so corny and dumb but I can't help it.

A lot of my friends have been interviewed by the local news if ever something goes on and they are there. Or the high school I went to before I started home school had a fine arts program and they were constantly holding fashion shows and such.

Also that movie BandSlam was filmed in my old High School, McCallum, and a good number of my peers were extras.

So I wanna know if you've ever been on TV or a friend of yours has.

I have, I did a documentary for TLC a few years back at that damn thing is still haunting me, I cringe whenever it comes on or someone asks me "Aren't you that girl from that show?" It painted me in such a bad light, and even I think I look bad.

And if this is against the rules feel free to delete it.

This is probably a dumb post to a lot of you but I'm immensely bored and watching the Fourth Kind (Creepy shit)

Hello everyone! This is my first campfire here but I've been lurking for a few weeks. I've loved the fanfic recommendations, discussions and of course the pictures that are posted. 

I decided to branch out and post tonight because I could use a good fanfic recommendation. I have discovered a recent love for reading fanfics where Edward is a dad. However, lately I keep stumbling upon ones where Edward doesn't know he's a dad at first, because it's been kept a secret from him (normally for no good reason other then Bella is ridiculously insecure/stupid). And somehow in the stories, this is always justified and easily forgiven. 

Anyway, I want it to make Edward angrier (somehow he always seems ok with it).  So, does anyone have any recommendations where this storyline happens and Edward is justifiably irate about it? If so, I'd like to read it. Nothing like angry dad Edward for me, apparently. Thanks. :)

It's Saturday Night...Let's show them how we PARTY!

I've been obsessed ALL DAY LONG trying to figure out the title of a story and it's driving me insane!  lol

All I really remember was that Esme owns a restaurant (French, I believe) and Edward takes Bella there to 'woo' her on their first date (I think I remember she loves French food) and they eat in the kitchen with the fantastic chef. I remember that Bella makes Edward eat snails.  :)  I think Kate is the bartender at the restaurant.  I also seem to remember them (B & E) getting busy at the restaurant at some point.

That's seriously all I remember, except that I really liked the story.  HELP!  Please?

You know what I like.

Let's put our ipods/playlists/zune/radio/whatever on shuffle and post random songs, then we'll come up with a fic that relates to said song.

For example, I post this:

and you would say: OMG RIVER DAM! ok?

oh yeah,

big purple font approves of this suck-up image <3

It just ended and so sad about it, it's an awesome story, tell me your thoughts on the ending (if you read it), and if you haven't go read it.

This story brings so much emotion out of you is ridiculous.

Summary:

Bella and Edward are happily married, or so Bella thought. What will happen when Bella discovers that Edward is cheating on her? Rated M for language.

I'm having a prom dress nightmare-story. And, while it's still FFA,  in honor of the horror - I'd like to do two things.

One: ask you all for an honest opinion (I'm going to hold my opinion until I hear some others) of the dress I'm ending up with:

 Obviously, the hair and stuff is NOT done...but... the closeup of the beadwork looks like this:

And two: ask you to cheer me up with your horrifying (or happy) prom stories/photos. With all these lovely women here, I'm sure I can learn a thing or two about prom. :)

brand whores campfire

 show me the brands that you'd pretty much try any product they churn out

the places where they see you come in and go OMG, YOU WOULD LOVE THIS NEW _______. 

what do you recommend i buy there?

mine:

omg my mom and i just went to lush.  it was mama's first time.  she went hog wild.  the sales lady did this like, free hand treatment full on massage thing and my skin smells beautiful and feels like it was injected with butter omg.  and she gave us these huge tub samples of 4 products and i bought a cupcake face mask and i'm so excited to try it that i'm going to go wash my face while i wait for comments in this campfire.

EMPTYPOSTCARD, I DEDICATE THIS POST TO YOU

AND ANYONE WHO'S A LUSH FAN, THEY HAVE NAKED KITS FOR $20 RIGHT NOW HOLY CRAP I'M SO EXCITED TO USE ALL OF MY NEW LUSH STUFF

oh, and lush is a british company that makes handmade, vegan, 100% biodegradable, preservative-free, not tested on animals body products.  they use all natural stuff and all of it smells gentle, not overwhelming, and amazing.  today i bought:

• that cupcake face mask (you actually have to refrigerate it, and it expires within 3 weeks)
• a sex in the shower shower bomb thing
• tea tree toner spray
• coconut deodorant powder
• t is for toes dusting powder
• the naked kit: coal face, the buffy bar, squeaky green solid shampoo, sexy peel soap, therapy solid massage bar, and tea tree toner TAB.  FOR 20 DOLLARS.  :D :D :D

This all started on twitter.  I TJ'd a message that PixieVamp sent, congratulating her on her hubby's R&R this summer.   At the same time, mine will be preparing to deploy for the 4th time in his 6 years in the Army.  She suggested a support group and since I believe it's still FFA time (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm in Germany after all), I thought it could possibly be opened up to everyone else that is a military spouse. 

What do you all think?    I honestly think it's a great idea and might help making things a little bit easier during the tough times.

Edit:  This is for any and everyone that has someone that's deployed, whether you're a spouse, fiance, girlfriend (or boyfriend even!), sibling, relation, whatever.  And doesn't have to be military either, as there are others that are deployed that are civilians as well (sorry...I let my FRG  leader part of me go running ahead of this all gung-ho.)

Wolvesnvamps Edit: Please feel free to post anything about this group at anytime.

I want to know. Are you a...

1. Stay at Home Mom ( That's me )
2. Working Mom

4. Married no kids
5. Single and loving it. (I miss those days sometimes *sigh*)
6. Dating/engaged and Happy

Tell me about yourself and post pictures if you dare.

 Edit: Please no mommy wars in this post. I hate those. Feminism for me is the ability to choose what you want to be and being happy about it.

Hello everyone! I hope your day is going well :)

This month is National Poetry Month and I want to celebrate.

I LOVE to read poetry and write some that will never see the light of day.

Feel free to post your favorite poems or lines from poems or talk about your favorite authors or whatever.

I'm going to put my favorite poem in the comments :)

Edited to add sexy:

CONTROVERSY!

But not in fandom. I want to talk about it in the context of your real lives. 

Have you ever done anything/said anything/participated in anything considered to be controversial? Was there any fallout? Was it worth it? Who did it bother? Do you still feel the same way, now that it’s over? I’ll put mine in comments just to start things off.
