IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN...

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

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO POST YOUR FAN VIDS AND THOSE OF OTHERS THAT YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF.

SPREAD THE TALENT OF THOSE FAB VIDEO CREATORS OUT THERE!

HERE'S MY REC FOR THE WEEK: 

...If that title means anything to you, then you may be interested in this post :) 

A fan-website dedicated to The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, MundieMoms,  celebrated a birthday recently. Cassie's gift to the site was a list of the 4th MI installment's Chapter Titles! Under each chapter title is a blurb or clue as to what might be coming in the last book of the series. 

If you are a fan of The Mortal Instruments series, I have the post inside, and I've linked to the website. :) Since this is for the 4th book, there may be spoilers if you haven't read the series yet, so peruse at your own risk :)

SO! Any speculations?

forest FAQs

okely dokely, campers.  time to help us rangers out.

if we were to, say, include a FAQ section... what would you want answered?

we already know the "what's a VIP author" and "how can i post an icon/picture/video".

what else is there?  have you a burning curiosity?  something you've been too afraid to ask?  something you're afraid would make you look stupid?

don't be intimidated.  you can always PM it to me or one of the other rangers, just include "FAQ" in the subject line.

ask awayyyyyy!  i might even answer some of yer questions.

From Deadline Hollywood:

EXCLUSIVE: Hollywood is always looking for great villains. Now I’m told thatChristoph Waltz, a frontrunner in the Best Supporting Actor race for his portrayal of the charmingly sadistic Col Hans Landa, will make a deal to star with Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson in Water for Elephants, the Richard LaGravanese-scripted adaptation of the Sara Gruen novel for Fox 2000. Francis Lawrence is directing. The role at first appeared to belong to Sean Penn who's been on a self-imposed big screen sabbatical, but the deal went south. Instead, Waltz will play the heavy in the Depression Era romantic triangle involving a veterinary medicine student (Pattinson) who joins a 2nd-rate travelling circus and falls for the star performer (Witherspoon). Waltz will play her husband, a dangerous paranoid schizophrenic animal trainer who is as mean to his wife as he is to the circus creatures. Gil Netter, Erwin Stoff and Andrew Tennenbaum are producing.

Waltz was a journeyman German TV actor when Quentin Tarantino cast him to play Col. Hans Landa, the charmingly sadistic and manipulative Nazi officer. It got him a Hollywood agent at ICM, and the chance to make Hollywood films. Pending a deal, this would be Waltz’s second studio role. He played the villain opposite Seth Rogen in The Green Hornet for Columbia Pictures.

Okay, so I'm really nervous to put this out there but here goes...

I've got an idea for a storyline but I can't write for the life of me.  It's not even a fully thought out thing, it's kinda general and needs to be molded into something more concrete.  I really think it could be good if in the right hands, but I don't want to straight up ask someone to listen b/c I don't wanna be a pest.  I've also never read anything too similar to it so at least it'd be kinda original....I think!  Is there anyone maybe intrested in listening to me to see if they'd like to make this into something worth reading?

Oh, btw, thanks melissacullen01 for giving the peptalk to make me post this campfire!

How the hell was this not discussed yesterday here in the forest? It's over. Are you happy? sad? meh?

Let's discuss!

Finally making a post after lurking and dipping my reply-toe into a topic every now and then.

I've been ficcing all day (yay for term holidays that allow you to do so) and am ready to read a really good B/E kiss.  Not the whole sex enchilada.  Just a kiss.  Maybe a first kiss.

I am trying to remember some particularly excellent kiss descriptions.  I swear I read one just the other day in...something... HIde and Drink maybe?   U of Edward Masen?  Maybe I should go back to early Bonne Foi?

Can you campahs recall any really really exquisite fanfic kisses? 

This looks like a promising start:

 And the receiving end of this isn't too bad either:

Edited to add:  slash kisses can be lovely too! (Lucky Javier)

And then let it go, because people are going to think whatever they want to think.  Also, I have to go to work...

I wanted to -- was dying to -- post this a couple of days ago, but I was having trouble using the ADF site (and here's a shout-out to the lovely Rangers for their help!).  There's an old British vaudeville joke that I learned, courtesy of my British father-in-law, before it started appearing all over the net.  It goes something like this:

Man:  Doctor!  I hate vaginas!  I think I'm allergic to them!

Doctor: What on earth would make you say that?

Man: Every time I see one, I swell up!  And I get the urge to rub!

Sound familiar?  Incidentally, being hung over would make the "swelling" less pronounced.  Which was why Rob thanked God that he was hung over at the time of the photo shoot.  Anyway, think about it: gay or not, no young actor with leading-man aspirations and a brain in his head deliberately outs himself as gay so early in his career.  It doesn't make sense. 

I feel better now that I have properly defended The Pretty in my favorite forest.  :)

I came across a story last night that I thought was pretty great and wanted to share.

According to celebuzz, the cullen doll is sold out, as of yesterday.

ADF is not mentioned in the article.

I plan to go to TwiCon when it comes here to Houston in April.  I suspect at least some campers have been to previous TwiCons. What's it like? Peter Facinelli's going to make an appearance at the one I'm attending, which is really cool. I see the Hillywood Show's  also going to be there, and they're pretty funny. I'd love to hear about your TwiCon experiences!

friendly neighborhood ranger tip: click "source" before posting embed codes for any videos or images.  :D

This story is 7 chapters long and is complete, so it's a super short fic or an extra long one-shot...pick your poison.

Anyway, if you are a Nerdward fan you will love Cutie_SSTB's story. Serious comic book store talk here...

Her Bella is shy at first but you see her getting very sassy later.

Sittin' On The Shelf  by cutie sstb 

Bella has been working at Emmett's comic shop for 3 years. All the while, she has been trying to gain Edward's attention. Yet, Edward is oblivious to the fact that she fancies him. Will our Ednerd realize she adores him or remain in the dark?

 Tonights OFFICIAL LOST POST IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT:

If you watch US television: what do you choose? 

Lost or American Idol or Olympics??

If you watch Elsewhere:

Lost or Olympics or ??

What are you looking forward to seeing TONIGHT?!?!!!

And, as always, if you have a Lost Theory, I would love to hear it. I have been so busy this week I haven't had any time to think about it and would love to get back into the zone.
