As I'm about to head out to the dentist, I keep thinking about what I'd rather be doing. I'd rather be surfing ADF and tweeting randomly and reading fics.

What Twilight-related thing would you rather be doing right now?

Or if you're doing it, what ARE you doing?

I was scouring the interweb this morning trying to figure out what the hell Im gonna be doing for New Years when I came across this ad.

My first thought was, damn I wish it was RPattz I could be partying with.

[That might happen since Im probably going to a party at Chateau Marmont]

 So my question for you campers is

Which Twilight actor would you like to ring in the New Year with???

and what are your New Years plans so far?

and a little dance music to get ADF in a party mood

Okay.

Recently I've stumbled upon some opinions about the forest we have here.  And it's been pointed out to me that we may have a 'mob mentality' or we speak too harshly about the fandom we adore.

First thing I want to make clear is this:  We don't want ANYBODY to feel uncomfortable or out of place while playing on ADF.  This issue actually kind of shocked me as I'd always considered ADF to be an 'anti-clique' site.  It was started by a few gals who didn't really fit in any fandoms at all. 

A Different Forest was established as a site free of the fandom hierarchy.  We want it to remain that way.

We very much want everyone to feel free to post ALL opinions regarding ANY post.  As far as I've seen, opposing opinions on ADF lead to interesting discussion, and that's also something very welcome here.

I guess, the point is, please feel free enough and comfortable enough to post and share your opinion...and please bear in mind, there isn't one group or clique that runs the show here...we're all very much on equal ground.

So, I suppose now I'm way too curious not to ask--Lurkers, is THIS the reason you lurk?  If it is, please come out and offer any suggestions or advice you have for us to make this place comfortable for everyone.

Look.  Even Robert Pattinson is worried about this.

This commercial for the People's Choice Awards has a funny New Moon spoof.  I love this other Kristen!

 Hi everyone! I was trying to think what to get my Twilight obsessed sister for Christmas and i was wondering if it's OK to print out stories from FF.net and put them in a binder for her.  She doesn't have a working PC  and has no idea what she's missing!  Is this considered tacky, illegal or just a cheap gift?  Thanks!

Hi All,

I usually hang out in EV or The Gaz, but I thought that I'd make ADF one of my regular stomping grounds.  Anywho, since I'm not all that computer savvy, I can't figure out how to get my avi 100 x100.  Anyone want to break it down and explain to me how the heck to do this?  I've been all around this site, but don't see a FAQ section. 

Thanks!

in honor of whatever the eff this formspring thing is, let's ask each other questions.

leave a comment.  people will ask questions and you will answer them.  ask anything.

note: i will answer every single question asked of me.  that's how much i don't feel like writing bored i am.

He's preparing for your lips to love him tenderly....

New! Magazine's readers have voted RPattz the #1 person they'd like to kiss under the mistletoe!

New Moon hunk Robert Pattinson beat stars such as Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and his fellow Twilight stars Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Kellan Lutz to top the survey by Park Christmas Savings to see who we'd most like to kiss under the mistletoe.
 
Robert Pattinson was the most popular choice securing 54 per cent of the votes cast.
 
Next up was Johnny Depp with 17 per cent and Brad Pitt was third with 10 per cent.

Taylor Lautner came seventh on the poll, which also saw X Factor winner Joe McElderry come in at fourth place.

That might make up for missing out on the Christmas number one spot!

Other X factor stars to make the list were Olly Murs and John and Edward - not forgetting judges Cheryl Cole and even Simon Cowell!
 
The weirdest choice on the poll went to those who wanted to kiss their dogs!

Who would you like to kiss under the mistletoe?
 
1. Robert Pattinson
2. Johnny Depp
3. Brad Pitt
4. Joe McElderry
5. Angelina Jolie
6. Kellan Lutz
7. Taylor Lautner
8. My partner
9. Cheryl Cole
10. Olly Murs
11. Supernatural star Jared Padalecki
12. Jessica Alba
13. Holly Willoughby
14. Simon Cowell
15. Santa
16. Kristen Stewart
17. Justin Timerlake
18. John and Edward
19. Una Healy from The Saturdays
20. My dog   <-----FREAKS

What I want to know is, besides Rob, who do YOU want to kiss under the mistletoe?  

I'll go first:

I'm poor this year and so my best friend and I decided to do hand-made gifts. I wrote her some Keith smut and made her a box of Jesse McCartney lickables (cause she's into that kind of thing) and this is what she came up with...

 Yeah, that's a freaking Rob Pattinson lamp, which will now rest on my bedside table for the rest of eternity and a tissue box she decoupaged. I feel really lame right now. All the waitresses at Olive Garden kept coming over to look at it (and talk about how hot Rob is), lol.

What's the most creative gift you've ever given/received?

Yer time is almost up!

you have until 11:59PM tonight to submit your entries to win $150!

if you're unsure of what you have to do, or don't remember -

you have to take two seasonal songs, and change the lyrics. the lyrics have to include Twilight, A Different Forest, and the Rangers.

that's it

send them to torsstupidmouth@hotmail.com

weiners will be picked tomorrow.

(Dude. An "All I want for Christmas is Edward" BIB? LIKE FOR A BABY?? People are sick.)

I have been so amazingly busy the past few weeks that I have completely neglected my Christmas shopping. Even worse, I can't get out of the house today or tomorrow meaning that I will be doing my shopping on December 23.

So, I need ideas and I am asking for ideas in the form of

YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST

(if you don't celebrate Christmas, tell me what you got or want for the holiday of your choice. I don't mean to be insensitive. tis the season and all that.)

I would like ONE BIG ITEM that you are REALLY REALLY HOPING FOR FOR CHRISTMAS.

Give me a picture, show me a commercial. I don't care. I just want to know what you want this year. It can be little, big, practical, funny.

If there is something your little brother really wants I want to see that too.

If there is something your kid wants, gimme.

If your Husband wants something that you think is crazy, show me.

And seriously, everyone wants something so NO LURKING.

and yes, I want Rob wrapped in a pretty bow serving me hot chocolate with mini-marshmallows.

POST ROB

POST YOU

POST YOUR KIDDIES, FRIENDIES, HUBBIES,BOYFRIENDIES

JUST POST SOME DAMN PICTURES OF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE NOW!

I am on vacation so I can't post pics now but I got some GREAT ones today and will share later.

Here are some pics of Rob on the beach. I am off to go look for him.................................

I know this is old news to everyone in the UK, but I want the American campers to be informed of the awesomeocity if they aren't already.

Rage Against the Machine vs. Simon Cowell  source

It might seem strange to most Americans, but it's a very big deal to have the #1 song at Christmas in the UK. Every year, bands release holiday-themed tracks in hopes of topping the charts, and in recent years, Simon Cowell has had a heavy hand in the Christmas #1, as winners of the Cowell-produced X Factor reality competition have released their debut singles just in time for the Christmas charts, which they have dominated. But this year, an Internet campaign started against Cowell's holiday chart reign, with 1992's "Killing in the Name" from the self-titled debut album by the political alt-rockers Rage Against The Machine chosen as the replacement anti-holiday hit. And strangely enough, the campaign, supported by comedians, former X Factor winners and musicians including Sir Paul McCartney (!), was successful: "Killing in the Name" has become the first download-only Christmas #1, beating X Factor winner Joe McElderry's cover of Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" from the Hannah Montana The Movie soundtrack. And in another surprise, Cowell seems to be taking defeat rather well: He has offered jobs to the husband and wife team who masterminded the Rage campaign. Maybe he's not The Grinch after all.

Now post your favorite un-christmas hits.

All the Right Reasons by Eevy Angel

One of the first pieces of Twilight Fan Fiction I read. I read it, and as I had not read much Twilight Fan Fiction at the time, I was absoloutly fascinated and obcessed with this one story. I re-read it many times, amazed with the writing and original idea. I was convinced I would never forget it. Of course, as time went on, I forgot it. And, it was only a few days again I remembered it once more. So. I read it once again.

The story is about Edward Cullen being an international suermodel and Bella Swan being an English teacher for a private school. No one suspects the fact they are secretely married. And, although the plot is as good as it always was, after now reading many other pieces of Twilight Fan Fiction I find myself wondering why I was so obcessed with it at the beginning. Of course, it is still really good. And, I would suggest it to anyone.

But, what I want to know it several things. Have you read a fic and thought it was fabulous, and have then went back to it and realised it wasn't as good as you first thought? What was the first piece of Twilight Fan Fiction you read? Did you like it?

Oh, and who has actually read All the Right Reasons? What did you think about it?

PS. When people asked Eevy Angel to fill in the five year gap she skips in All the Right Reasons, she made the companion piece Careless Whisper. Which she then passed onto edwardsdirtylittlesecret. Has anyone actually kept up with it?

So it is a very cold day and I am in need of a good FIC that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.  I prefer BxE.....I just read Breakfeast at Tiffanys and LOVED IT!!!!!!

Can anyone give me any good suggestions!!

I'm pretty distraught right now. This morning, when I checked my email, I had 2 new reviews for one of my stories. They were both from the same person, and were both flames. Not gonna lie; when I first got them I cried. They were totally mean and hurtful. In the almost 2 years I've been in the fandom, I've never gotten a flame on any of my stories, on either ff.net or twilighted. Somehow, these just got to me. All throughout the day, I kept thinking back to these and was really upset.

I want to respond to them, but I don't want to be a b*tch about it. How should I respond to these?:

(From C-J Sparklez http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2008415/)

HIGH FIVE FOR BEING RETARDED AND RANDOM!

kinda dull but i'm bitter because of Christmas so that might be the "fuck you
cause you suck" kicking in.
and i'm pms-ing
which explains why i'm not being a total brutal bitch as usual
(i make people cry and delete me from the reviewing list hahaha)
i am so bored i think i fell off the chair, but i don't remember it
happening

Peace Out

  AND THE OTHER:

Let It Be is the best song ever and i applaud you for Let It Be
WHO THE HELL DOES THAT!?!
HE LOOK OVER THERE
A HOUSE
LET'S JUST WALK RIGHT ON IN WHETHER IT'S MINE OR NOT AND TOUCH EVERYTHING
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU GO TO SOMEBODY'S HOUSE AND NOBODY'S THERE
WHAT
THE
FUCK
LMAO
GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
so bella-esque it's hilarious
well
done

Peace Out

*chuckles*

C-J

How the hell does she know my hit count? What should I write back? And how do you calm yourself down after getting a flame?

Has anyone read, currently reading, or can recommend a good twilight crossover story.  I started to read a Twilight/Roswell one and that story just didn't do anything for me.

Do you like them? Do you read them? Any thought of writing one?  Maybe wtvoc could do a Twilight/Bones crossover story. js :-)

Thank you so much.

two great couples :)
