because it is free for all friday, i think i can post this, but what i wanna know is, what is the most boring thing to you? what is it that makes your brain go numb, or makes you want to cry becuase it is so boring? and what do you do to cure said boredom? for me it is sitting through lectures. im actually in my anthropology lecture right now, so i am saved from boredom from now!

Hiya! The last two Fridays i've started campfires for the ONE fic and ONE song you'd rec.

In this one, you are to rec the ONE movie that you think everyone should watch at least once in their lives. ONLY ONE!!!

My rec

THE NOTEBOOK

I just tweeted this but it's a great conversation so I wanted to take it to the forest.

Has anyone noticed that Bella and Edward never seem to have any fun together in the books or the movies? Aren't they supposed to be in love? They are so moody and unhappy all the time. Fanfiction has ruined the original relationship for me in the best way possible.

Let's discuss!

Hey everyone!

Okay, I think you'll all agree that this fandom has a tendency to twist our dear characters and make big clichés out of them *cough*Alice*cough*Emmett*cough*

But honestly (because I'm biased like that), the one that annoys me the most is Bella. Sometimes I just want to slap the hell out of her and shout at the author (but I don't do it because I'm too nice), and inevitably, fic after fic, I see the same clichés about her over and over again until and my eyes hurt from rolling so much.

So, people, dish out, go ahead: what's your most hated cliché about your favorite Twilight character? And who's your favorite [insert character name here] characterization?

For me, it's a tie between Bella's insecurity (seriously, cut it out people! Okay, she was insecure in the books, but it wasn't to the point where she questionned herself every 5 seconds!) and Alice's overly pushiness/bounciness/too-muchness. Now, I'm not saying a really broken and damaged Bella who has no self-confidence can't be an interesting plot, but it would be a very emotional fic and it would require damn good writing skills. And most authors can't pull it off without making her annoying.

And my favorite Bella is without a doubt Cascade & Cyanide's Bella. I might be biased because it's my favorite fic too, but she's just so... In character but -amazingly- without being annoying and overly insecure. She's even more relatable than in the books. Sweet and cute and caring and just... Bella. Now that's a Bella I want to read about. I just wish there was more of her out there.

Oh, and if you haven't read Cascade and Cyanide, go do that. Now. Seriously. Whoever hasn't read it, I envy you. I wish I could re-read it for the first time.

Capricorn75 is at the theater watching a little flick called 'Remember Me.'  In honor of that flick, and the fact that she told me she has breathed her last because of Rob's beauty, she asked me to say goodbye to all of you lovely campers.  Jenny, I guess that care package you got will be the last thing any of us get from her.   Her last text said, "Let everyone on the forest know that I am officially dead."

K Seriously...this Screen Cap Pic from the Eclipse Trailer is SOOO BUGGING the crap out of  ME!???

Anyone else see it!?? or is it just me?

I thought this would be an interesting discussion. Rangers, feel free to delete, but it is Twilight related.

There have been many discussion's regarding Twilight and the repetitive characteristics of our beloved Bella and Edward. Some readers don't mind and other's are willing to flounce a fic at the mention of a BRIDGE OF NOSE PINCHING EDWARD or a BLUSHING BELLA because they feel it's been done too many times. Some readers simply pull their hair out with the question, "Do people really do that in real life?"

Here is a lovely picture of Jessica Simpson from her appearance on Oprah last week. She has nothing to do with Twilight, but that lovely shade of blush does. The one thing I find that annoys most people is how much Bella blushes. Some even question as to whether "BODY BLUSHING" really happens. 

Here's the proof. If you look real close you can see the slight rash, which is called a "Nervous Rash" And we all know how nervous our beloved Eddie makes Bella, so you can only imagine.

So, My question to everyone is, "WHAT ARE YOUR REAL LIFE NERVOUS QUIRKS THAT OTHER'S MIGHT THINK ONLY HAPPEN IN FANFICTION? DO YOU FIND THEM BEAUTIFUL OR JUST PLAIN IRRITATING?"

Afternoon Ladies, I would like to request any reccomendations of stellar FF with a "Cruel Intentions" Twist - Scotch, Gin - esque...minimal heartfail/

...but, um - please only Edward x Bella.

I sort of pestered an author yesterday about writing a particular scenario into her story. Now, I realize I have no right to do this sort of thing, but sometimes we just can't help ourselves.

And it's happened to me before.

And it gave me the idea for this.

 

Dear WriteOnTime,

Please write me a oneshot with your characters Edward and Bella having coffee with Anderson Cooper because I know the characters would really love to do this, but I also know you're probably not planning to corrupt your artistic integrity and write it. However, since I've been so loyal and adoring, for my amusement, I really think you should.

 

In payment, I offer you .

 

Lovingly,

jennyfuckingfly

So I'm totally in love with darkward have been ever since i started Fanfic but I recently started reading MotU and The Sub and Domward has been making my heart flutter i feel like i'm cheating on my dear darkward so in my deluded litlle mind i got to thinking if those two ever got down to a fight who do u think will win so guyz Domward Vs Darkward place your bets

                             I Pick

Domward he's got whipps and shit he'd kick ass

 ....I am going to ask it anyway.

Who here is reading Femme Docs and Kevlar Knights?

Should I take a deep breath and dive in (like I don't already have a ton of stuff on my list but the EXTENT of this story is intriguing, just by sheer numbers) or should I wait until the Complete space says Yes and ask again later?

Please don't trash this story here if it's not good. lol  Just give me highlights or PM me with low lights. I'm seriously not wanting to speak ill of a story here, but I was wondering if I should try it out or not. 

Thanks!

For your time:

Flat Stanley does North Fort Myers:

Spring Break starts for me tomorrow, so I'm in a good mood.

And besides... it's Friday so let's spread the FFA love! So give me a happy Friday kinda song.

Happy Friday!

I have a request.  I am in need of some new material for my workout playlist.  In the last two weeks I've cycled through mine too many times, and it's gettin old.  I was hoping all you lovely ladies could give me a hand!  I'm not really picky about the genre as long as it's got a beat I can pound my feet on the treadmill track to.

Thanks!

For your time

 P.S.  Isn't he purrrrdy

Hi guys!! Well... I'm looking for a reccommendation. I want to read a Darksalie or Darklice fic. Or maybe and Darkmett one. I can't find something cool to read, and since I got a lot of free time now that I upload the last chapter of my fic...It could be an One Shot also...

I want blood, gore hahahaha I miss those things hahaha

Thanks ladies!

One has nothing to do with the other. I just wanted to say, first, that RM starts in 40 minutes so I'm getting ready to head out in the middle of this big thunderstorm we're having, in order to support my man. I will be wet in more ways than one. As DeeLovely can attest, I have been not-so-patiently waiting for this for a while!

Secondly, I believe Fanfuction is being fail again. I noticed a story of mine updated and I got a private message, but it didn't send me alerts for either. So you might want to keep an eye on your alert list today.

That is all....I shall return after the movie. MWAH!!!

About 9-10 years ago I was in 7th grade, 11-12 years old, searching the internet for stuff on Sailor Moon. Yes, Sailor Moon.

And then I discovered something called "fanfiction". I don't joke when I say I got most of my sex-ed from fanfic. Yea, I know, shocking to most, but I turned out pretty OK if you ask me (in no way condoning children reading smut, just giving my personal experience)

Back to the point, at the time I thought Sailor Moon fanfic was the King of AU. All the Serena's suddenly became clumsy but strong, independent, and usually pretty smart. Darien became either cold and depressed or cocky...and depressed....Seeing an iteresting comparison yet? No, not saying anything was plagiarized so get that idea out of your head now, just thinking how interesting it is how similar an AU can be whether it be Sailor Moon, or Twilight.

10 years later and I'm thinking up stories for Edward and Bella that seem oddly familiar to me...and then it dawns on me that it's because I already read them with Darien and Serena (or Mamaru and Usagi if you wanna go all proper with me).

I've read fanfiction for PLENTY of other fandoms, but nothing comes as similar to Sailor Moon to Twilight. Probably the epic love and all that jazz.

What was your first fandom? How old were you? Can you find similarities between the fandoms?

Okay I need an excuse to avoid doing work tmrw so looking for a new fic to help with my procrastination .

Hit me with some suggestions,  I'm a canon girl all the way so Ex B fics (completed would be a bonus) 
Also if anyone can recommend something similar to Kidnapped, Blessing and the Curse or I Hate You with an Insurmountable Passion. Love/Hate sort of r'ship that'd be awesome.

This morning at the Starbucks drive-thru, this voice crooned to me, "What if I told you it had chocolate sprinkles on top? Hmm?"

HOLY SHIT. I just might try the disgusting sounding dark cherry mocha at Sbux now. GD, as if I need another reason to keep going back there. I have a hard enough time staying away as it is.

What's the sexiest thing anyone has ever said to you??

He's thinking about it too: (eta, sorry about the red x. dunno why it suddenly appeared :'(   )

COME TALK ABOUT LAST NIGHTS EPISODE

I'M STILL SHAKING AND CRYING

and here some classic Effy/Tony

Effy: Still nothing?
Tony: Nothing.
Effy: How many times have you called her?
Tony: Thirty-nine.
Effy: Texts?
Tony: One hundred and forty one.
Effy: Nothing?
Tony: Nothing.
Effy: Wow, Michelle really hates you. Well, you did totally fuck up her relationship. You just stormed in there and fucked it right up.
Tony: Yes alright. I love her, okay?
Effy: Love?
Tony: Just leave it Eff.
Effy: Love, love, love, what’s it good for? Absolutely nothing.

SPOILERS OF COURSE

 Peter Travers from Rolling Stone gave this review of Remember Me:

"Is there life after Twilight? Kristen Stewart makes a decent case in The Runaways. Now Rob Pattinson, her vamp lover, trades fantasy for reality in Remember Me. As Tyler, a New York college boy, the brooding RPatz doesn’t bite. But his movie does. It’s crudely written by Will Fetters and directed by Allen Coulter of The Sopranos (WTF?) as a love story between Tyler and Ally (Lost’s Emilie de Ravin), both with daddy issues. His (Pierce Brosnan) rules Wall Street, hers (Chris Cooper) is a cop. It’s all weepy drool until the twist ending, which turns it shockingly offensive"

Many of us already know the end on Remember Me, and it does deal with a rather sensitive subject for americans, but, did you find it offensive?
