There is a new trend in young Hollywood called Vajazzling, a relatively new concept in vaginal adornment. It’s exactly what it sounds like- bedazzling for your vajayjay. The trend exploded when Jennifer Love Hewitt announced that she Vajazzles regularly to feel good about her privates.

Hey campers,

I was just on TLYDF and read that Twice as Long as Yesterday by hopeful wager will no longer be available online after the 17th of March.

I don't know why it's being removed, but it's a wonderful story. So anyone to who hasn't already read it, I suggest you do so soon!

Here's the summary for anyone who is interested:

1866 Ireland. Isa Swan has agreed to Lord Cullen's proposal: in exchange for allowing her father and her to remain on his estate, she will submit herself to him each night for twice as long as the night before. But how long can she endure him? AH. B&E.                                              Twilight - Rated: M - English - Romance/Angst - Chapters: 31 - Words: 113,364 - Reviews: 7049 - Updated: 2-17-10 - Published: 3-4-09 - Bella & Edward - Complete

Someone messaged me and said that I ought to have my own font color to use a la wtvoc's big purple posts.

Your response to this post is a two-parter:

1) What should be my signature color?

2) Hit "Ctrl" + "V".  Let's see what the last thing you copied was.

Here's mine.  I think Jasper may have been using my laptop.

Do you make fan videos?  Do you have one you want to share? 

Whether you make them or are just a fan, here's a place to post your favorite  (or ) fan videos for all the forest to see! 

MY RECS FOR THE WEEK: 

"NM - Edward's Painful Last Kiss Goodbye" by lovesimplicity

AND

"The Prophecy - Harry Potter" by SmokeyFizz  (if you haven't seen this video... SHAME ON YOU.  it's one of the best HP videos ever!)

FYT:

Hi Fellow Campers.   I hope it's kosher to post this here (on some blogs it's a taboo story).    A good many of the chapters on MOTU have been pulled from ff.net for content.   The author pulled them down before ff.net pulled the story.    The whole story so far is now up at Twilighted.net.

Oh and just in case you didn't know (I didn't until just a few minutes ago), you can now get email alerts for updated stories AND (THIS IS THE BIGGY FOR ME),  you can change that horrid red letters on black background skin to an eye friendly black letters on white background!! 

Please someone help me find the title of this story. I was really enjoying it but didn't save it and now for the life of me I can't remember what it was called.

Edward and James were bullies in high school and loved to torment Bella. They stuffed her in her locker and she completely lost it. She was so humiliated she left Forks and didn't return. Now 12 years later, Bella returns after Charlie dies and Edward is one year sober and looking to make amends with Bella. She wants nothing to do with him but he keeps showing up and helping her take care of Charlie's house.

Thanks so much! 

Kellan is awesome. I just thought I'd share the love he's spreading.

Check out Kellan's exclusive interview for PETA!

Some of you may remember, about a week ago, a lovely greeneyedgirly posted a campfire here asking for someone to write up a story idea that she had but didn't want to write herself. Well, I took up that challenge and after discovering a really effin' amazing idea, we've worked hard together (greeneyedgirly is beta'ing for me) and we're proud to present.....

Born to be Mine: Six months after Jacob dies, Bella Black moves her young family to California to be with her brother. Meanwhile, across the country, Dr Edward Cullen is preparing for a similar move... AU AH OOC. Rated M

If you would like to have a read, and maybe leave us a little review, and if you like it, tell ALL your friends, that would be very nice.
Thanks :)

I have a sudden craving for Rose/Edward fics, and I wanted some recmomendations.

I've read Vamp R/E fics before, but I want some AH.

Any suggestions?

DIRTY LAUNDRY POST

mine is inside the post, come see my dirty laundry.

show me yours!

So, I have a couple of hours before I have to go to work, and I'm trying to make a dent in the mountain of laundry that I have been neglecting for... well, a while and I'm hungry.

WHAT SHOULD I EAT FOR LUNCH?

I'm leaning towards

Because really, how can you go wrong with KD?!!?

Tell me, what did you have for lunch, campers?

BEFORE ANYONE SAYS A POUTINE IE; LILLYBELLIS - I DON'T HAVE THE STUFF TO MAKE ONE, OR ELSE I WOULD.

If you could swap places with anyone in fandom for just one day...who would it be and why?

My answer below - I'm not giving up the goods that easy :)

Okay, CW&IA just got pulled today. I was starting to really get into it, and then pouf! Gone.

For the love of God, we have to react! How many fics have been the victim of the LU so far? How long are we gonna watch our favorites fics vanish into thin air an do nothing?

I say stop!

I think we (meaning, lots of people, because lil' ol' me doesn't have much leverage in the fandom) should get together with the Twilighted admins and adopt an emergency policy

Let's save our favorite fics!

I've been thinking about this (yes, I think about fics in RL. Shush. Judge me later)  and I don't think a lot of authors that get their stories pulled will re-upload them in twilighted, especially if the fic wasn't there in the first place. It would just take too much time to upload everything with the validation process. They won't (well, most of them) do it on LJ either because it's complcated and weird, and again, takes too much time.

So, yeah, I was thinking that just for a little while, maybe twilighted could lighten their validation process a bit? For example, with authors uploading a multi-chaptered fic that is, oh let's say... about 15 chapters in? Maybe the validation betas could only look at the first 3 chapters of the story and if the fic is okay grammatically speaking, maybe they could just abstain from checking all the other chappies, so that the validation process would be a lot faster?

Of course this could only be valid for authors who have a beta and for fics that have been or are about to get pulled of FF.

Obsviouly, the whole thing would necessit a lot of validation betas... So maybe we could institute a volontary particpation system with people who already are betas on FF, just not twilighted validation betas... It would take time to validate all the potential validation betas... But once that's done, every author could put their fics in twilighted easily and we (okay, I) woudn't constantly live in fear of getting the dreaded "Unable to locate story with id of xxxxxxx" message on our screen.

I don't know if all my propositions make sense, but at least that's up to discussion, right? We can't just stand there and do nothing...

Come on, campers! Shake your fists and let's stand up to the LU FFn anyone 's dictatorship! (Really. Just please, whatever higher power is up there, stop pulling fics)

Anyone? Any idea of how this could be done?

Edit: Okay, I may have gone overboard with the LU-hate. FF is pulling MA fics and I kinda got over excited over anyone I could pull the blame on. Sorry. The fact remains that people (and it could be random people) are reporting mature fics to FFn and they're getting pulled. And I just wanted to get ideas on what to do about that.

Oh wait. I am dead. No chance of that happening.

So it has come to my attention that British political candidates are tweeting about my alter-ego Robert Pattinson swaping spit with Kristen Stewart on the streets on London. Good to know what your campaign platform is all about-thanks for sharing.

Me-I am waiting for the sex tape which in my humble dead opinion will be lame. Why? Because Robert is NOT me and Kristen is NOT Bella. Got it? Are we clear? Good.

Now let's discuss the absurdity of this entire tiresome situation. Much lutz is desired.

Sometimes, taking a look at the most popular fics in this fandom, I wonder to myself-

Is their popularity really based on the quality of their content? Or does it have more to do with the shock value that these fics create?

Like in the case of MOTU, there’s rarely any plot development between chapters, and mostly, our beloved (insert sarcasm please) E/B are found canoodling in varied positions and scenarios. More than sixty chapters in, the plot is still trailing around, perhaps slower than a tortoise on crack.

But I digress…

There are other examples as well, where there’s fair amount of unlubed butsecks involved… or where they choose to do the dead in the most unique (read weird) and exclusive way (read uncomfortable/physically impossible). Or something or the else keeps on happening which might be shocking to us in RL scenarios, but is totally hot (sar-ca-sm) in these fics. (Like totally creepy sobriquets to each other’s genitals and such, ya know)

What I'm asking is, is that why these fics are so loved? That they give us the shock and awe treatment, and we are left numb its wake, uncaring towards the writing/plot/characterization/such things that show a nice story arc….?

Why is it so that I find that the better written fics have lesser reviews than these ‘popular’ ones? Has this fandom lost its patience? Or has it become deadened due to all the loud, flashy stuff being thrown at it constantly?

I mean, I don’t think anyone would disagree with the fact that fics like The Lost Boys, If love could light a candle (they are only two examples of many) are brilliant fics, with extensive character development and beautiful, descriptive prose, AND PLOT. Then why do they not achieve the feat of other highly pop fics?

I have seen that the average reviews for actually well written fics is around 3000-8000 (with a few exceptions, of course, but they only prove the rule, eh?)

It is something of an ongoing rumination of mine. What motivates the choice of readers, when they choose fics like MOTU over TLB or ILCLAC?

I’d like to know what others think…

Humor me.

Let's all go completely nerdy and delusional for a moment and pretend you are Bella.  What decisions would you have made?

Would you have chosen to become a vampire or remain human?

Would you have picked Jacob?

Would you have given Mike Newton a shot?

Does anyone know where Clipped Wings and Inked Armor went? I'd been putting off reading the last chapter, but finally clicked on the link to read it, and the story appears to be gone. Does anyone know why? Or where I can find it? Or possibly send me the last chapter if you have it?

I have a TON of work I need to do and this huge project that I have to finish by tomorrow, but I have ZERO motivation.  A little bit of pretty might help...so show me your best...

maybe if he looks like he's gonna bitch-slap me...ya think that might help?

***

These are for Tor... maybe some Billy will get me going... idk

Come on campers... Help a Sista out!!

i'mma setting down two rules for this campfire-

keep it twilight related.

no robsten. this includes rob and kristen.

anything else. go on ahead-

you wanna ship out other twilight star's, go on ahead. you wanna share eye-candy, go on ahead. whatever.

just nothing robsten. i think you're understanding the reason.

    It’s no secret that I love the Sookie Stackhouse Novels better than I love twilight (Please don’t kick me out). I was browsing thru some fics when I found some Sam/Sookie stories. I can’t stand the pairing. I’m purist. I think Sookie should ALWAYS and ONLY be with Eric. I came to like twilight when I started reading AH fics. Now I like the Vamp stories better. I haven’t read the books but I know all about them. I don’t mind and actually like some Jasper/Bella fics. My favorite is Afterlife by thatisastory.

    Is it the same for you when you see a Peter/Bella or Carlisle/Bella story?  What misconceptions am I making by having seen the Movies only? Are you a purist that has changed over time to like Jasper/Bella fics?

 Don't they look good together?
