IT'S TIME TO SHOW OFF THOSE FAN VIDEOS

DO YOU MAKE FAN VIDEOS?  DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE YOU WANT TO SHARE?  

POST THEM HERE!

FAN FICTION VIDEOS

VIDEOS FROM ANY FANDOM (but let's try to stay somewhat ontopic, eh?)

SHOW US YOUR FAVORITES!

FOR ALL YOU ROB LOVERS OUT THERE...

"Robert Pattinson - In The Beverly Hills" by Vera

ALSO, LET'S DISCUSS DIFFERENT VIDEO DOMAINS TO POST FAN VIDEOS.  YOUTUBE IS AN ASS. WE KNOW THIS... AND UNFORTUNATELY, BAM VID VAULT IS BEING SHUT DOWN. 

SO WHERE ELSE IS THERE?  LETTUCE DISCUSS.

ok, who is this guy?

I've heard of him & his gang of holier-than-thou skeezy losers, and I've also heard that they are the reason why a bunch of our favorite authors got banned from ffnet and made a blog, or a livejournal account, or went over to TWCS with their amazing stories.

So, now i'm apparently being 'targeted'. But isn't t true that he isn't even a site administrator? That he can not dish out this so-called disciplinary action that he has threatened me with in a review? I am not sure what to do, as i was faced with this issue this morning. Do I withdraw my story from ffnet of my own free will, and leave an author's note up as a chapter, explaining what happened and letting people know that they can read my twific at The Writer's Coffee Shop or on my BLOG, or do I just ignore it? Does this Lord Klevin person have any damn clout? Can he get me banned for advertising TWCS in an author's note and for having content not suitable for those under 16yrs old?

What is your advice, cuz I sure as hell don't know what to do and I'm a little more than pissed about it.

(First campfire... deep breath)

I don't even remember how or when this started, but it has entertained me endlessly, so I thought I'd share, and maybe get some more great/hilarious ideas for recasting.

Recasting the entire Twilight ensemble in other films that is. 

Because seriously, the idea of a film like The Breakfast Club, but with Kristen, Rob, Jackson, etc. just cracks me up.

I would totally have Jackson playing Bender, and have Rob playing Brian.  Kellan as Andrew, Kristen would be Allison, and Billy Burke would be Principal Vernon.

Or how about Glee?

Can you just imagine Forks High School but Glee-style?!  Oh my god, the thought of Bella and Edward bursting into song, a la Rachel and Finn, just cracks me up.  Or how about Rose and Emmett as Quinn and Puck?

And Topgun?  Everything is better with a little bit of 80's cheese right?

I can totally see the Cullen boys talking about MIGs and wearing aviators while playing beach volleyball in supercheese beachwear.

One of my all-time faves, Star Wars.

Or even better, Spaceballs?

C'mon, you know who you want to cast as Yoda.  And I think Jackson would make a perfect Lone Starr. ;)

So tell me, what would love to recast the entire Twilight cast in?  Or what casting changes would you make to the ones I listed?

For your time:

Because it's one of the prettiest photoshoots evah. :)

I stole this idea from edwardville  donut judge me

this was approved by wtvoc. i have the gchat to prove it.

So, I see a lot of chatter on twitter, on reviews, on messageboards, etc, about how certain things/phrases/whatnot have become cliche. I.e..  Mushroom ravioli, Jeff Buckley, cores, chocolate orbs, Darlin', etc, etc, etc. (Yes, some of these are not in the "real" books).

But the question I have is where do you draw the line between canon and cliche? I mean, this is fan fiction, and we're writing based on certain aspects of the books we love.

Personally, I expect a certain about of similarities and borrowing from the books. And certain things/phrases/characteristics lend themselves to multiple scenarios, so it doesn't surprise me when I see it. 

What do you think? Shouldn't there be some holdovers from the "real" series? What do you often read that really is unecessary borrowing? Where do you draw the line? What things do you expect to read in your fan fiction and what things are you bored with seeing?

No fic naming please. 

BTW greeengoldfish wrote an interesting article: TLYDF 

For your time and viewing pleasure.... a fuzzy but ultra sexy shot of Rob in glasses (and I do not care if it's chopped/real/whatever). Unf.

 Hello dearies, why is back ..

And I started thinking (not the HH does this or anything) - WHY is this line every so common in fanfics ;

Edward; oh god Bella, you have to say stop now or I wont/I dont think I can/I wont be able to stop ect ..

Uhm, soo .. right now she´s all for it, then he´s .. in .. with whatever and it, I dont know, starts to hurt, umcomfortarable (spell check pls?) the cat starts staring I DONT  KNOW

And what?  He´s gonna say - OH BITS I GAVE YOU CHANCE TO SAY NO ITS OVAH NOW!  .. rape much?

Am i wrong?

ps how do I get a fuckawesome picture in mah profile?

ALSO - KStew .. i heart you, deeply.  Your pretty skin, long legs, the fact that we share absolute disregard for our hair .. WHY must you pull a the trucker dyke (no offence) look?!  PS love the glasses, share?

WHY ?!

Hey campers!

So, let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm goldenhair, I've been around for a while but haven't really burst out of my bubble and

* I'm an ADF Seekret Stalker(tm) *

What's an ADF Seekret Stalker(tm)?

It's a person who

watches obsessively someone's posts here on ADF

stalks that someone over on FFn or Twi'd or LJ -but not necessarily-

thinks this particular someone is completely awesome and wants to declare their undying love to them every second of every day

BUT has never actually said more than two words to that someone (hence the "Seekret")

Since I haven't really made any friends yet, I Seekret Stalk(tm) a loooooooot of people. And I've even put their avi next to their names because sometimes I only look at people's avis and not their names because they're so awesome

So here they are (if your name is on the list below and you find yourself creeped out by it, please don't break my heart and keep quiet)

information on the mysterious

Twilight Counsel!

So for the last two years I have been obsessed, I mean OBSESSED by fan fiction. Read it morning noon and night. Was never happier than when i was curled up with my lap top and a packet of chocolate biscuits.

This is where the confused part comes in.

My love for fan fiction seems to have vanished. Now it's not that the fics aren't good they're as wonderful as ever. I just can't see to get into it any more. Even the fics i loved, I 've found myself just skim reading the latest chapters. I've tried fic requests campfires on here and apart from some one shots nothing really held my attention.

Now this is not a big deal I know, but i feel kind of lost without it. What did I do before i discovered the world of fan fiction. All those times when everyone was busy I'd be quite content on my own with my latest fic.

So my question to you is. Anyone else gone through a fan fiction downer? Will I come out the other side? What the hell do you do on nights when ur other half and all ur friends are busy???? 

Tell me why I'm a bad person for thing these are hilarious:

Or tell my why I'm awesome for posting them. Your choice. =)

Has anybody else saw something anti-Twilight and rofl'd? Anything make you roll your eyes? Share it! =D

As some of you may have heard back in March True Blood has 6 minisodes called 'A Drop of "True Blood" ' originally they were going to be posted online, but now they are going to air on HBO itself starting May 2nd at 8pm. They will cover all major and secondary charcters so we will know what is going on with them. WOOHOO.

What do you lovelies think of this? Are you as excited as I am? Do you just not see the appeal? Lemme know.

He can stay gone for all I care. Think Alan Ball will stay true to the books about his captor?

Okay, so i'm in need of help AGAIN picking what to read next.

I recently read "How To Save A Life" (loved it) so i'm not in need of a lot of angst at the moment, I need a break. A little is ok, but i'm looking mostly for fun/romance/smut.

Help me out, which one next and why?

1. Bare
2. The Daily Grind
3. Acting Out
4. Olympic Rain and Novocain
5. The Trip Home (started it, stopped for some reason)
6. Anything But Conventional
7. Girl With A Red Umbrella
8. Unraveled Knot

UPDATE: or 9. My Brother's Best Friend

I invite EVERYONE to come read My and Pinballwizard92's new Collab "Lord of his Ring." (although the title is still up for interpretation)

It's SERIOUSLY the funniest sickest greatest thing I've ever written. I feel SO accomplished that I think I should give up now, nothing can get better than this.

Disclaimer: May induce--SERIOUSLY--bouts of hysterical laughing . . . or puking. Enjoy (or not). Feel completely free to flame this one. It can be found in the Collab Meet and Greet campfire  HERE. Feel free to join also.

EDITED TO ADD: The ultra lovely Pinballwizard92 and I have decided that we will be posting this fic (I know, I think I've taken something too) on FanFic.net. We will, much to your chagrin, keep you updated on when and where to find this little gem. SO if you want to know how it ends, where it begins, or want more of that SUPER SEXY eel and mucosal loving you'll just have to look for Lord of HIS Ring over at FFN.

Tell us about some of your favorite childhood memories.

My grandpa would take me to Dairy Queen every Sunday after church and then my entire family would eat a massive Sunday dinner. He was only supposed to get me a small ice cream but he would let me get whatever I wanted and never told my parents. I miss him.

I used to love this show.

I used to make these types of barrettes with my friends. We thought we looked gorgeous.

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.

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.

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.

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.
