So gather us up around the campfire and tell us Rangers-how does a story/author get picked to be a VIP here in the forest?

Is there a list? What is the process?  Do you argue? Has everyone gotten in that you vote for? Do campers get to make recommendations?

Please tell me! I am very curious!

I'm guessing the fandom is dismissing this:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2864525/Twilight-star-fesses-up.html

as tabloid gossip (as am I) and ignoring the entire debaucle. I mean, it is The Sun. The paper isn't exactly known for it's groundbreaking expose's. But I am surprised no- one's mentioned it yet... To be fair we have heard it all before!

Well - I guess since we are still mid Olympics it should be a triple toe loop :)

I am coming out of work craziness right now, and looking for some new stories to catch my interest.  Before you start throwing them out - a few constraints:

- I prefer vamp these days - AU or Canon

- I'll happily take anything that has a good Em (big surprise)

- I don't want the buzz fics or usual suspects, I want good characterizations and off the beaten path.  Give me something that is averaging less than 75 reviews per chapter - WIP is fine. 

Let 'em rip....

 *** ETA  - if you are on the Indie Nom list - I already know about you - trust me on that one :)  You are all the reason I am losing my eyesight hehe

Sanctuary updated...and there is much to discuss!

go, read it and come back and give me your thoughts

and predictions for Father Edward.

I'll be sharing mine when I get my thoughts gathered coherently.

I'm am trying to figure out how to post a story on this site. It's a bit confusing, and there's nowhere that tells you how to navigate the site..If anyone knows how i can post my story here, i would appreciate it....Also, every pic i try to use as my avatar dont work...lol....any tips on that would be appreciated as well.....Thank you.

 Expectations and Other Moving Pieces updated. 

What do you think of this recent chapter?

I'M CRAVING FIC WITH AN UNAPOLOGETICALLY BAD EDWARD.  I WAS READING 7EVEN DAYS THAT HAD A MOBWARD THAT WASN'T AFRAID OF CRACKING KNEECAPS, MAKING SEEDY DEALS OR PULLING A TRIGGER IF SOMEONE OWED HIM MONEY.  HOWEVER, THAT FIC HAS BEEN REMOVED AND I CAN'T FIND IT POSTED ANYWHERE ELSE AND CAN'T REMEMBER THE AUTHORS NAME. 

SO HELP ME FIND A GOOD REPLACEMENT OR IF YOU KNOW WHERE THIS FIC IS PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  THANKS!

Maybe i'm being dopey today but is there a way to know if a story on here is complete? I can't seem to see anything that would tell you that it would be...

Is it me or did KStew look faintly GRUBBY at the BAFTAS? She's done some zingingly great photo shoots, has the potential to be so stunning - I mean I can really see her as vamp Bella in BD. BUT sometimes wow she just can't seem to be bothered can she?

And whilst that I don't give a damn look works some of the time, not at a red carpet do surely. Put a bit more effort in girl.

And likewise RPatx. Sort the hair out. Or at least wash it!

Just saying.

Ok I have had to officially run for the forest for safety.

Ok I made it.

My Twilight hating friends usually leave me alone.  One of my best friends went onto face book and posted this big article she found.

(link inside)

I am so mad at what is taking place I had to come here....

Okay, so I have posted a story over at Twilighted (I just post, not read, I'd never betray you guys like that...>.> <.<) And I NEED A BANNER!!! I'm artsy, but not techy. Please help! here's my summary to halp ya'll out a bit:

It's been ten years since Breaking Dawn. The Cullen's were unable to find something to stop Renesme's rapid growth, and she passed away at the age of 11.
The whole family is crushed, but no one takes it as hard as Jacob, who flees soon after the death.
He ends up in yet another small town in Oregon called Sandy.
This is where Sydney comes in. A spunky, witty, sassy girl who seems to be one huge ball of sunshine. Jacob is just what she likes; A mystery. And it seems whether Jacob likes it or not, she's gonna solve him. As Sydney learns more about Jake, a slow realizations dawns on her; "If I fix him, I can fix me

 But with a new threat lurking in the shadows of Sydney's life, and the Volturi sticking their noses around, fixing anyone won't be easy.

Can Jacob see past Sydney's cursed life, or will his primal instincts take over enabling him to fight this unknown enemy? Forks isn't the only town with secrets after all.

Any way, tell me if you can make one and you will get lots of hugs and kisses and a referance in my story notes!!

P.S. If you wanna include a direct image of Sydeny, she has short black hair, pale skin/ freckles and greenish eyes, but a sillwhouette or siomething would be fine too, what ev's, you can use Taylor though! teehee! okay, thanks bye!!

P.P.S. Also, there are...cats...involved. Specifically, a big black panther...sorta thing. Just tossing it out there.

We are making a FABULOUS post! Why?

Because our campers are the best in the fandom. This is a fact-not an opinion.

Because us Rangers work non-stop to make the forest the best it can be and just wait-more is coming! LOTS more!

Because John is the best site designer/creator ever and we worship him hourly. (we need to have more John dedication posts damn it!)

Tell us what you think is fabulous. Why YOU think YOU are fabulous. Why you think someone else is fabulous. Just share all the fabulous people and things in your life!

EDIT: Something happened, and the forest ate my comments. Hmm...

Anyway, I love this fic - Edward Cullen, Dick for Hire

It's been a great story so far. And I think it'll wrap up nicely. No excess amounts of lemons, no dragging the plot. It's fast, action packed, and has a nice story arc.

And if anyone has got any comic recs for me, please do tell me..

Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner?

Both? Neither?

Thoughts!

-cough- RPattz pwns Taylor

Is anyone going to TwiCon in Boston from July 16-18? Because my parents are buying me tickets as a sweet 16 present and my friends don't know if they are going and I want to know who else is gonna be there so I don't end up walking around lost not knowing a single face in the crowd.

This fine specimen is gonna be there:

 I've been tossing around this idea in my head and now I thought it would be a good time to give it a shot. 

It's simple really, post what you are looking for in online dating fashion, and if someone has a match they can reply.

you may have a fic in mind that your online dating profile would fit to a t:

Desperately seeking Dead Bella and a Heartbroken Edward. ghosts a plus, must love angst.

Or it could be that you are actually looking for something where you haven't a clue if it can be filled:

Indie chick seeking a SMART Emmett with lots of skin and a happily ever after. 

The idea is to try to fill as many different requests as possible. If you have a match, let us know. Everyone can play!

welcome here (ducks head and braces herself) just wondering....

I might be the only one still highly amused by the various Twilight-themed commercials popping up, but I just saw this one and couldn't help loving it. 

(Okay, I think I FAIL at video stuff...here's the link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSkZ5m1hR84)

What do you guys think? Yay or nay? Got any other funny Twilight ads that you still secretly (or not so secretly) crack up over?

Like them? love them? hate them?

These days it seems like we have lemons coming out of every orifice known to man - I used to love them - now I've read a few, very few of them do more than make me cringe - but I am in the mood for some sour with my whiskey - so, can you recommend a really good one or two, or three even? One that isn't cliched and doesn't sound like a pr0no script?

One that comes to mind that was shot and oh so sweet and didn't leave me with a cloying taste in my mouth was the opening to Americanxidiot's "Closer to God".

Do you have a suggestion ?

TY
