Hi,

I'm new around here and really thrilled I've found this place.

I just finished reading an excellent fanfic by nobloodnofoul called Shadowboxer it so inspired me I made a banner

Hope you like

LOOK AT THESE NEW PHOTOS! BRB....AM DYING.

Like what's the age range?  What's the cut off? 

More importantly: What makes something YA Lit vs. just Adult Lit?

SO and I had a heated debate over what our 10 yr old reads last night.

Like "up until you see my point"  heated debate.

To keep it Twilight: She's expressed interest in reading this series however SO saw the movie and feels like the way it plays out is unacceptable, ergo making the book unacceptable.  He felt like Edward's reasoning is just sort of "ok'd" and thinks she needs to be a bit older before she reads it.  I have to say I agree.  But more so because Bella's comatose state is also just glossed over and never addressed.  Another time, another campfire.  

Anyway without getting into the who's and whys and the gestapo tactics I feel like my SO wishes to institute (um, I might be a bit defensive still) how do you monitor what your kid is reading? 

If you're child less - did your parents monitor your reading materials?

TL;DR??

Just tell me you're on my side without knowing all the facts and that kicking SO in the shins is not going to help my case.  : ) 

 Good Morning Campers!

I bring you your HAPPY MONDAY CAMPFIRE!!

A little something to start the week off right....

BEL AMI has begun filming in London...

A source that wishes to remain anonymous has reported that Bel Ami is now filming interior scenes on location in London at various places, but not yet in a studio. Source explains, “some is being done on a set build at the end of the UK schedule.” As we previously reported, the London portion of filming is expected to wrap just before Easter. Per the script, the interior shots include a LOT of bedroom scenes, so Bel Ami is expected to be filming at various houses in London to accommodate different looks for these scenes. Bel Ami’s script also calls for interior scenes at a couple of churches and bars.

Dare I rec?!! Oh, I think, I might try...
I stumbled on this piece over the weekend. Numerous times, raised smug eyebrows at myself by myself judged me when I clicked, questioned my draw to it, declared; 'Nah' and shut the browser down. Reading a whopping 5 pieces was just dandy for me, thank you very much. And having weighed up those claustrophobic tags one might use when putting up these pieces they simply didn't mirror my imaginary tick list. And man, this one intimidates my shy safety-zones. But I am contradictory, grateful to be in-fact - dreadfully so! Bottom-line, I kept returning to it on the contrary to being terrified by it. It mocked my prejudice and nagged my conscious some. I caved - grabbing my laptop, climbing into bed and devouring it - kind of gormless and with my mouth open gasping, mind you. Yes, it still intimidates my "safety-zones" and it shows no signs of aligning with my make believe free spirited snobby contradictory imaginary tick list anytime soon [don't you just hate that?!!]. But I forgive personal comprehension and preference for it. I detach when I lose myself in words anyway, don't you? We sparrows (no idea why I just called myself a 'sparrow' or its metaphorical connection) need to live vicariously through something or another, no? Maybe that didn't work, I'll try again; we voyeurs need to __________ oh you know what I mean! Why then, you holler? Because of the writing.

Why am I trying to plug it?
Because of its writing!
Why should you read it?
Because of its writing!
Why should you give it love in however form you gush your love to something or nothing, even if it's only for a single chapter?
Because of its writing!

I can't slot it into a pretty in pink pitch for you. I can't compare it to anything because I. Do. Not. Want. To! It's shrouded in a quality and that quality is almost cinematic. How's that?!!

Too much?!!
Not enough?!!
Anchor an expectation, a comparison a claustrophobic tag (like moi), and just give it a bash...
Happy Monday shenanigans all...

Cheers.

Okay, hopefully I posted this right, and if I did...well, have fun. XD

I have no desire whatsoever to debate whether or not FF was right, wrong, stupid, or smart. I think the other thread covered that just fine.

I *would* like to know what fics other than tara sue me's were deleted in today's sexorcism.

Lettuce list them here pls. I might like to go beg/borrow/bribe authors for copies.

The Dom/Sub/Training by tara sue me

Great Vexations by AG

Others?

For your time and effort, I present to you some Rob p0rn:

Jeremy Shockey. Yum. He is rough and wild-not exactly the marrying kind. I wouldn't want to marry him-he would make a horrible husband. I just want to  have wild dirty intense sex with him. That's all.

So tell me campers-who would you do the dirty deed with? Not the "I want to have your babies" sex but the other type. The type that....well you know and if you don't...you will. So let's talk about wild boys....sexin boys...boys you don't take home to Momma.

Oh, totally.

This must be like how Edward felt when they beat Volterra

SAINTS 

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS BABY

Ihave no idea if this is mod okay but I NEED TO POST MY HAPPINESS

RANGER EDIT: 31-17 SAINTS (nobody picked this but lots of people got close!)

thought you'd wanna know

I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this pic

he's so.....

So if Twitter is correct....TaraSueMe author of The Dominant, The Submissive, The Training received a warning from ff.net that her stories contained too much smut and would be pulled. She pulled them off and is in the process of putting them up on Twilighted.

Not a big fan of these stories but they are just smutty-no big deal at all. It seems sort of odd that she would get a warning when I have read stories that are filled with abuse and depravity and they don't get warnings and are still up. 

Thoughts?

The baby picture of Rob gave me this idea….

 I want to see what our campers looked like back in the day.

Share your baby and tween pictures!

And I want the good stuff ladies, let me see your teased hair, flannel days, and prom pics. The crazier the better.

So this is sort of OOT (out of Twilight), but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.

SO, girls. I have realized I have a 'thing' for fanfiction involving older men and younger women. I started eons ago reading Labyrinth fanfiction.  And yes, you're thinking of the right one.  The spikey hair, 80's-tights-wearing David Bowie/muppets movie. They mainly featured Jareth in love with Sarah (Jennifer Connelly)

Then, I moved onto Harry Potter fics and got into Severus Snape/ Hermione Granger fandom, where I stayed for a good year and a half. There are some *seriously* good writers in that fandom.

Then Twilight sucked me into it's all engrossing awesomeness, and after a while I realised I was doing the same thing, sort of. I focus on the Edward/Bella 'ship, and really it's the same song and dance all over again.

Older Edward.

Younger Bella.

La de da, same thing.

My real question is- do you find yourself drawn to the same type of  'ship in each fandom you fall into? Because, Lord I do.

And it has been a long time since I've found a good SS/HG fic. And that makes me sad.

Have you ever watched a movie and thought, "Hey! This would make a great fic!" ? Or maybe just saw a specific character that you thought would work well in a fic situation? What movies and/or characters? Why?

Personally, I think the Proposal would've been a great fic. The plot is original, Sandra Bullock's character loves Wuthering Heights, Ryan Reynold's character's ex-girlfriend looks like a Tanya...

A short time ago, someone linked to a site that enabled you to save fanfics in an easy-to-read format.  Does anyone still have that link?  I can't find the campfire.

As thanks in advance for your help, here's Toddlerward.

Nice shorts, Rob. 

 I know that we are just a bunch of Twilight loving, fanfiction reading, Rob Pattinson drooling WOMEN, but we can still throw down the gauntlet, place our bets and give our predictions for SUPER BOWL XLIV

So here is the CAMPFIRE where I want YOU to put what you think the final score will be. The winner of this "pool" will receive Eternal Glory. I dunno, ADF will tweet it and you'll feel all superior. 

You don't have to know ANYTHING about Football to participate. Trust me. This is just a guess, educated or not.

So put down your scores and place your predictions and when the game starts, I'll pin this to the top so we can talk some smack. For now, your post should just look like this

42-31 SAINTS (this is mine, btw)

and feel free to comment when you are out of the running or if it is getting close. But all bets will close by the start of the game. If you want to lay down a wager, go for it. Maybe someone will take that bet!

So recently I've been trying to start my first fanfic but everything i write never seems to be up to the standard i know i can write.

My question is what help's you clear your head and get your writing at it's best?
