Hi! My name is Carrie and I just registered. I am a HUGE Twilight fan. I love the books. and I love to read fanfic. I have been working an a fic for several months now, but I feel like it needs more depth. I get a few reviews over at ff.net, but not enough for me to really know if my writing is that good. I mostly write for a different fandom, but I had this idea that I thought twi fans could get into. It's different from any other fic I have found. If there is anyone that would like to take a look at it and give me pointers that would be great.

I think I've seen every pairing out there, however once I stumbled onto Toxic by SweetDulcinea, I found a love for a new pairing.

..... Peter and Bella. SO, does anyone know any good Peter/ Bella Fics?

Please and thank you...

EDITED: Because I like it here...and

WTVOC freakin scares the beejus outta me.

Anyway - I was trolling Forever21.com today...because cheap is my motto...and found this:

TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES

Did every thread from Sunday night disappear and no one has posted today or is something wanky with my computer?

Hello. Sorry to interupt your reading or sunday plans but I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to the story Afraid To Dance? I do not remember the author's name but it was based on how she met her husband I believe. I know it was over at Twilighted.net but I can't find it.

Thank you so much!! (a piece of candy to say thanks)

A post about a popular story below, made me think about some of the most cliched common titles for fics. Out of the whopping  130,696 stories on ff.net I found the following results

Isle Esme - 71

How to Save A Life - 31

Fix You - 39

Fallen - 157

Beautiful Disaster - 43

Sex on Fire - 7

Use Somebody - 10

Time is Running Out - 16

There were 40 with Closer in the title,  2953 with Edward, 3217 with Twilight, 172 with sex, 665 with blood.

To include myself, there were 20 with Snap, and TWO stories called Heatwave.

To make this interactive - what do you guys think of these kinds of titles? Will you scroll right by or take a chance?  What are some other titles we see repeated all the time? Find me some more big results? Or just talk about other stats - the most reviewed, highest word count, your own read count etc etc.

I'm bored you guise. Humour me.

Like every Sunday, River Dam updated! In my opinion, this story is just pure genius and I just can't wait to be Sunday for this reason alone!

Let's talk about it here or you can go to Jennyfly's cabin to tell her how amazing her story is!

EDIT: you can also go to jandco's cabin to share the love since it's a collab.

Jandco, 'How to Save a Life' updated.

But I have a feeling you already knew that.

Sooooo, I'm officially popping my campfire cherry!! Yay! (It's not so painful btw :oP).  I've been a lurker for several months, been thoroughly entertained by you crazy ladies, and have felt part of an awesome community (even though I was hiding behind a tree!)

I guess I finally thought of something the other day that made me go hmmmm about the Twi-verse to want to ask my fellow campers! That being, have you ever wondered why SMeyer didn't give her vamps fangs?? Retractable ones at least? Since she took such a drastic turn on how she characterized her vamps, maybe that was just one more way to make them less scary and be able to blend in even more.  I personally find the fangs to be a little more than sexy, and would die to see our beloved Cullens with fangs, especially Edward.  For me, fangs are the epitome of what a vampire is and are the most sensual part of them.  Who doesn't find a vampires kiss to be something to be desired, especially in the throes of passion??  I've been reading a books series where the fangs come out when the vamps are either thirsty or turned on, and when a human is bit by a vampire, the pain quickly turns into extreme pleasure that typically will lead to sex. Hawwwt!

So without rambling too much, here are my questions for you all:

1. Do you find fangs on a vampire to be sexy, why or why not?

2. Do you think it would have made the Twilight series difficult to write/ more difficult for the Cullens if they had fangs?

3. Does anyone know if there are any Twi-fics out there where the author has given the vamps fangs?

Oh, and a little candy for inspiration!

I'm totes dating myself, but I was wondering if we could do a pledge for the Forest.  Anyone remember the Red Green Show?  I used to watch that with my grandpa and my dad religiously when I was a kid on SUnday nights after church. 

This idea has been forming in my head all morning, since I'm playing hookie from church, and I was thinking about us needing a "Camper's Pledge" or something.

The Possum Lodge Pledge " I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess. "

Something along the lines of: "I'm a Twi-Smut-Holic, but I can change to canon, if I have to, I guess."  That is just the version that honors our Ranger JennyFly.

Maybe WTVoC's could be, "I'm a fandom flouncer, but I can still love jandco, the Rob-lover, if I have to, I guess."

Not putting words in these Ranger's mouths, but how creative can we get with something like this, I wonder?

We could do a Cafe Press t-shirt contest or something.  Like, you campers come up with a good overall pledge and then we give away the t-shirts as prizes or soemthing.

I have too much time on my hands.  But I think this could be a cool way to advert/ promote ADF.  I'd wear the shirt or drink from that mug...

So, yeah.  Back to your regularly scheduled programming (GO CATCH UP ON "A ROUGH START" AND "MY ESCORT"!!)

I need to read some new fics, the usual ones I read are the ones on notifications, and that's almost 3 fics.

so.. yeah... I need to read more fics. Any recs?

As a writer I find that outlining is usually pretty good, then when you write everything flows, but AtS (After the Storm) seems to not want to follow that rule. It jumps about, telling me I need to write this scene, then that scene, then here there and everywhere. I wrote 45k in about two weeks and I had to shuffle everything around to make it flow. This is the first time I have ever had to do this with any story. Ever. (I write original fic too)

My question to all you writers (and potential writers)... do you write with the flow or do you write out of order?

 As some of you may remember, way back on Wednesday when I posted the Pimp Campfire I was SICK. Well, I am STILL SICK. In fact, I am WORSE. I have a stuffy nose, a killer headache, I can't stop coughing and my eyes are watering like mad. I am wearing my big ass Ugg boots, Sock Monkey pj's and my fuzzy lamb robe from B&BW that I got for Christmas ALL UNDER MY SNUGGIE. 

But I need a CURE FOR THIS ILLNESS. I can't write and I NEED TO WRITE. 

Please, give me your best advice or your best recipe, give me something to look at or watch to take my mind off of my pounding headache, feel sorry for me or give me something to read.

I am in serious need of help here Campers. As one of your Rangers, I beg of you: CURE ME.

ps. xoxo and codeine makes me loopy.

How's your Sunday going?

What are doing?

 Ok, so I don't start campfires very often here but I've found myself a reason.

Besides showin some love for ADF and the Rangers (You guys rock!) I came to share my plans and see if any other campers had some plans!

In July I will be attending the Boston Twicon! I've purchased my Gold Weekend Package, my photo-op with Kellan Lutz and a hotel booked! I am sooo freaking excited it's not even funny. With Kellan Lutz (Emmett) , Alex Meraz (Paul), Chaske Spencer (Sam), Daniel Cudmore (Felix), Charlie Bewley (Demetri), Bronson Pelletier (Jared), Kiowa Gordon (Embry), and Boo Boo Stewart (Seth) all making appearances!

On top of all the great actors and events going on at Twicon, I am lucky enough to have some of my best fandom friends there. I got my girl from Boston go (who I went to Dallas with and lots of other shows), meeting another friend in Boston AND I have my Fan Fic wife stopping over here in her travels from Europe! It's going to be amazing! 

Look out Boston, troubles coming! And I'll be sharing all the lovely pictures we get right here! 

If you want to check out the page for Boston Twicon 2010, here's the website. http://www.creationent.com/cal/twilight_ma.htm

So this is where I ask all of you, what are YOUR 2010 plans? Any fun trips? Comic Con, 100 Monkeys Show, Twicon? Share with me campers! :D

What is the Gazebo?
 

K, so my hubs has always been fairly indifferent to my Twilight, FF, and Rob obsessions. He pokes fun a little, rolls his eyes, etc etc.  He thinks the reading is "a little overboard" and the writing is "weird."

So, imagine my surprise and delight when he came home from the grocery store this morning (yes, we have one of those awesome "non-traditional" marriages) and gave me this!!!!

I was rather shocked and tickled, especially since this is the only item of Twilight paraphernalia I own.

I think he's trying to get laid... good choice, A+, hubs. 

And YES, the candies FREAKING SPARKLE.

So, tell me/show me what lovely things your friends/sign. others have done to "support" your obsessions, Twilight and otherwise :)

Apparently, guys can appreciate Twilight! At least, fictionnal ones!

Tony Dinozzo is team Edward! ^^

I love to see these Twilight references all over TV shows!

To make this post interractive, you can post some of your favorite Twilight references in TV shows or movies or in anything really!
