*blows into mic* Is this thing on?!

Welcome to the nostalgia campfire!
The idea of this CF (if you guys are interested) is to remember and stroll down memory lane or even discover new (old) things. Over time, We'll get to everything, your favorite band or song, your biggest fashion do's and don'ts, tv shows, hypes and trends you never understood or were all about, movies, toys, celebrity crushes, foods that they don't make anymore these days..anything goes!

For this time however, we'll go with

80s music, to be exact
*What was the first record or cassette (or if you already were fancy back then cd) you remember buying?
*What song is still on your phone in 2018?
*Is there any song you've always hated and just to this day can't understand how that is a hit to so many others?
*Cyndi Lauper or Madonna. You only get to pick one.
*Best soundtrack/or song from a movie of the 80s?
*Best concert? If you're too young to have gone to a show back then, whom would you have liked to see in concert in their hey day?

These are just some conversation starter questions, feel free to add anything you can think of!

So come in and share!
 

Hi Campers, I used to be the Bondfire lighter, but then got caught up with more work hours and running my blog.  I'm hoping to light more fires this year.

For this Week's Bondfire:

1) name/screename

2) Are you still reading fanfic?  Which fandoms are you in?

3) It's Women in History month.  Tell us about a phenomenal woman you admire.

4) We all have limited time online these days. What are your daily check-in sites?  Weekly?  Which sites do you miss?

5) Speaking of fandoms, I've been reading a lot of THG fanfiction the last few months.  Because of this, I checked out Josh Hutcherson's new series on Hulu, Futureman.  I've just finished the pilot and it's different than I expected but I'm loving it.  It's campy, tongue-in-cheek, and involves time travel.  Plus Josh Hutcherson/Peeta is charming, even if he's clueless.  Any new shows that have you surprisingly enjoyed?

6) Finally, when we switched cars yesterday, my husband had Muse playing.  I listened to "Madness" on repeat at least five times.  What songs can you listen to on loop because they are so great?

Everyone is welcome to join in!  Answer one or all the questions, it's up to you!

I cannot for the life of me think of the name of these two fics. I may have asked about them before. I consistently forget them. Sorry, friends! 

The first is about Bella and Alice being best friends. Alice has a crush on Edward, Bella has a crush on Jasper. Alice gets drunk at a party and sleeps with Jasper because she's bitter that Edward turned her down because he likes Bella. Bella is really upset, Edward and Bella get closer, Alice and Jasper have a really toxic on-again-off-again, and Alice is really mean about a birthmark on Bella's thigh. Then it turns out Alice has a really horrible mom and Bella and Alice grow slightly closer again, though she still causes problems with Bella and Edward because she's kind of a terrible human. It's a four chapter fic that alternates between BPOV and EPOV. 

The second is about Edward being a maintanence guy at Bella's apartment. They see each other at a party or a bar or something after Edward has fixed Bella's apartment a million times. They hook up, Edward has a daughter named Livy with Rosalie, but Rosalie lives in California cause she's a selfish cow trying to become a model. Bella and Edward date, Livy loves Bella, there's something about braiding hair.. it's also short. 3-5 chaps. Bella's parents are worried about her dating Edward and then are horrible to him and Livy. 

Thanks in advance!! 

Let's play FAN-FICTIONARY!

Rules:

Find 1 or 2 images (MAX) that are related to a fic and post them. Others will try and guess which fic you are talking about. Get creative, have fun.

PSA: When replying to someone's guess, i.e. telling them they are right or good job, to the extent possible, don't use images there. It will just take longer for the campfire to update and load and all that stuff!

Example:

The Protector by hikingurl
In a post-apocalyptic world where civilization barely survives, Edward has spent his entire life training to protect his society, his family, and the girl who has captured his heart. AU COMPLETE 

The Unexpected by MrsLMB
How was Bella supposed to know that the guy she went home with last night, would be the same one sitting in front of her the next day to interview her? Her potential boss... Worst of all - she sneaked out of his house that morning without a goodbye. Started as a one shot. Follow the two of them as they rub each other in all the wrong ways. And the right ways... Rated M for lemons. 

The Wrong Number by IpsitaC77
Sometimes, even a wrong step can ultimately lead you to the right path. Will a couple of mistaken digits be that step for them? — A simple tale of common people and their ordinary lives.
