Tell me something good!

Just when you thought it was SAFE to come to the FOREST again!

I have been wowed by the terrific fanficking recommendations the Campers of ADF have put forth for the entertainment of one another. This is SO COOL.

When I posted my Master Fic List last Friday, I received several ideas for more lists!  So, I am going to continue posting these lists for fic recommendations until, I guess, I run out of requests. 

Today, we're looking for Daddyward Fics.  Stories where Edward (vampire or human) is a father.  So share with us the very BEST Daddyward fics!

If you're looking for all the links for all the rec lists, I refer you to the Master Fic List.  There were sixteen on that list last week and I am NOT going to post them all here. lol 

Remember the Campfire Rules:  

1.  Keep it simple.  This is not a regular rec campfire. This is a listing of your favorite Daddyward stories.

2.  No discussions.  Just copy, paste and go!  

My first recommendation will be within.

Thank you for sharing your favorite fics around the fire!

At the relentless insistance of my friend Robyn, a.K.a. the Mominator, I have found my way over here :)

For my first Campfire, I want to talk about the cutest things.

My hubby and I were driving, on our way to go shopping and I can't remember what happened to make me say it, but I told him that "I think I just lost my stomach."

Of course, the curious little ears in the back seat happens to pick up on everything and says "No you didn't, it's still there..."

That was the cutest thing from her.

What are some of the cutest things you can remember, whether it was from your kids, friends, family, or significant other?

Love,

Heather, a.K.a. Bella Quinn
And for my photo of the day....

Yeah, I know, it's another campfire from me. I've just been busy in the fandom today!

Anyway, so I've got quite a bit on my writing plate right now. I've got two three WIP's, a fic that I'm writing in advance, FGB stuff, AND a fic that I'm attempting to edit.

THAT IS A LOTTA WRITING.

Is anyone else a little more than stressed about the amount of writing that's expected from them? Whether you brought it on yourself or not. ;)

hey guys i was just wondering is anyone knows the name of this fic. it was pretty popular so im hoping someone might know what im talking about. the story was about bella and edward going to carlisle's funeral and then they had to stay because i think edward got a job there anyway bella doesnt like being near edward for some reason i cant remember now but i do remember bella living in edwards parents old house which is really old and emmet fixes the roof and e&b make edwards room together.

yeah hope that helps i cant really recall a storyline just bits and pieces though. 

thank you

The forest has been quiet today and I think what we REALLY need is a 

You know, a campfire where we talk about ANYTHING WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

No rules besides not personally beating anyone up, because that upsets me.

Put your chat topic in BIG COLORFUL LETTERS and hang out.

Show me that YOU ARE HERE and BE PROUD

Something has to be on your mind. A fanfic? A book? a tv show or movie? A drama? An irk or a quirk?

Let's Chat Campers!

Hi!

I've been gone all weekend cos I was in LA and got to see 100Monkeys twice at The Viper Room. So good :) Second night was amazing. Got to see some great bands and some NOT SO great bands. Met some awesome people and closed the bar down with Monkeys yesterday/this morning and flew home this morning.

My brain is fried but once it's working again, I'll upload the pics of the boys and some vids.

What did I miss while I was gone??? Anything good happen in the forest??? I love the new background! Looks like a frozen forest. Which is good since AZ is running at 105 plus 80% humidity right now! :/

So earlier, I watched a no-hitter get ruined with 2 outs in the 9th. He's a younger guy that absolutely deserved it and was pitching great. It put a bit of a damper on my mood (even though we won and swept the Rays! yay!).

I was wondering, has it ever happened to you where a fic just blows your mind and in the last chapter or the epilogue the author writes in a huge twist or kills off a character and you just hate it?

Or do you feel that whatever the author chooses to write is the right way to end it? Is there even a "right" way to end a fic?

I'm not really looking for specific fics, not a fan of calling authors out, but feel free to do whatever.

So, I've started broadening my fanfiction horizions by starting to post some of my stories on Twilighted. The site is great. I've met some awesome people there.

The only that frustrates me is that sometimes the beta's don't get that your story is fiction and that there's a reason why it isn't exactly realistic. I'm posting one of my stories, Schadenfreude, on Twilighted, and it's a pretty unrealistic story as a whole. But, the cops weren't called in one graphic scene, and unless I change it, it won't be posted.

That means I'll have to change the next two freakin' chapters!

Sorry for venting. And I really do love Twilighted. I just get fwustwated sometimes.

Anyone else have some fwustwations?

The Hostage updated today, and there were a lot of things happening!

Another flashback.

Charades.

A raid.

Self-lovin....

Jump in and let's hear your thoughts!

This is a LOVE POST!! I was looking through what I missed over this weekend since I was working, sleeping and working some more, and saw all the posts that seemed like they could have had the potential to be hurtful (I admit, I didn't click on many because I have my own issues that I'll just keep to myself).

Not only that, but on my twitter at least, I know quite a few have been having a really crappy time lately, myself included.  So, what better than a L<3VE post!!! (see what I did thar? eh, not as good as I'd hoped)

Leave your love people!! Love the rangers? Say it! Love your bestie? Post it! Love everyone in general?? LET THEM KNOW! <3

Mine are in the comments.  I'm hoping this turns into a 'Kum-Bah-Yah' I love you type thing because honestly, there is too much hate in the world!

P.S. No hate allowed in this post.  Haters will be taken to the left.  If you need clarification, please advise.

This wondermous post was approved by the lovely Grown.Ass.Woman <3

I've been bouncing in my seat for this all week - 

Vampires have come to Forks, and only one person can possibly stop
them. That would be me. I am Eric Yorkie, the Van Helsing of Forks. The True
Adventures of a Vampire Hunter. A Twilight AU.

Can be found here in Storytelling as well as FF

Seriously folks - you need to read.  I had the good fortune of seeing it earlier in the week - my stomach was aching from laughter after paragraph 2 - it is going to be epic!!

and it's by VIP duskwatcher!

Is this a deal breaker for you?

Some readers have mentioned that they will actually stop reading a story if the author does not reply to the reviews...

Do you doubt that authors appreciate their readers if they don't respond to each review?

Just wondering...

Along with your

REGULAR and AWESOME FANFICTION RECS

give me your 

favorite

ESCAPISM FICS

Thank you

If anybody knows the name or author of an AU New Moon fanfic where Edward returns to Forks after leaving Bella and finds that the school has no record of her, Mrs. Cope thinks that Charlie never had a daughter, it was as if Bella never existed... Please let me know.  I was reading it but lost the link before I had saved it as a favorite.

Hi Girls

I am going on holiday in a couple of weeks and buying books to read on the beach:-) I love reading books but must admit that I have been reading mainly Fanfic in the past year!! so need some rec for good engaging books.

So far I've got Freya North's Pillow Talk but like to buy a few more as I finish them quickly. So would be grateful for any rec :-)

It's been a lot of "Kristen said that" and "Kristen did that" and to be honest, it's getting quite old.

Have you heard about this already? It was nearly a month ago...

Adam Brody takes a stab at Kristen.

She is known for complaining about her attention from the media and fans

"It's only gotten worse, I'm sure, being a celebrity. At the same time, I don't have a lot of patience for people who moan about it too much. Because there are many things you could do. It's like, quit... you don't need to be an actor, so it's like if it's that much of a problem... there's the door.''

Do you agree with what Adam has said or not? let me know.

Opinions are okay but pleased do not be insuting to anyone in anyway

You know you're from Chicago when there are only two seasons: Winter and Road Construction.

You know you're from Chicago when you have two favorite football teams: The Bears and anyone who beats the Packers!

Where are you from?

Let's share some funnies about our home regions! And have fun finding out where all our different Forest-mates live!

Drool over this guy in the meantime:
