4. I'm guilty of reading sad or disturbing news all the time--send us a link of an inspiring news story.  Fluff welcome.

5. Which dress from the Met Gala would you actually wear?

Long-time campers, give us a peek as to what is going on in your life these days.

Come Out and Play!

This is Me When.....

Fill in the blank!

Example:
Me when my co-worker drones on about what a sweet, angelic, kind, caring and helpful  12 year old daughter she has.

I have an independent, opinionated, hormonal, back talking, full of sass 12 year old daughter and I wouldn't have it any other way!  Lol.

ETA: I stole IheartFanFic's GIF.  Hope it works. No one but me could see my Kim K. gif. :(
Let me know.  This game is no fun if it doesn't work. 

Allergies have hit! All the pollen everywhere. 

Carry on.

As always, feel free to use this as a check in or bring up any topic you'd like.

Needs a bra but everything is so expensive or does not fit. Ladies, be grateful for your b cup

Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures!

Each week I will brave the treacherous waters of Fan Fiction for buried treasure. Below are the gems I've found this week!

All newbies this week.  The Fic Dive may be sparse in the coming weeks as I'm studying for a securities exam and it's kicking my butt!
Happy Reading!

The Bachelor Duke by ceceprincess1217
Winner of 3rd place Judges Choice Diane Tant Daniel in The Age of Edward Contest. For so many years he lived his life by the name they had given him, afraid he would become a monster like his father. Everything changed the night he saw her from across the room. Dukeward

Good period piece.  The you know what has just hit the fan.

Tempest Point by timeywhimeyriotact
Bella felt the heat burn her face, she didn't want a ride, she wanted to be left alone. She didn't want to be a burden to this man, who clearly had more important things to do than give a stranger a ride home. "There's no need... I can walk home, there's no need to make a fuss..."

Bella with a secret past has just showed up in a tiny small town has begrudgeonly made aquaintance with the town Sheriff.  

Missed Connections by TheMashley24
Edward Cullen found the love of his life in high school, but lost her. First it was due to a tragic misunderstanding, and then distance. Three years later, when Edward and Bella reconnect in an unexpected way, will they be able to salvage what was lost. Drabble fic. Rated M for language and sexual themes. 

Just getting to the meeting in HS.  Looking forward to more.

Starlust by MagTwi78
Stars are made, not born. Know your competition. Win at all costs...and try not to lose yourself in the spotlight.

Small town Bella on an American Idol-like competition.  Just one chapter so far, but I'm anxious to see where it goes.

Masenry Ink by Jonesn
The first time Bella felt alive wasn't when the needle touched her skin. It was when she saw him. AH Drabble.

This lonely Bella makes me sad.  :(  Hopefully Inkward can make her smile. ;)
 
No Flash Backs this week.  

See you next Tuesday!

Soooooo, the Met Gala was last night. 

I know some lovely campers were already posting about it in yesterday's Daily Chew, but I thought it could use its own CF. 

What were your favorite looks?

I love how Rob is looking at Twigs in this pic.  One thing I have to say about him is that he always knows how to adore his girlfriend on the red carpet.  (whether Kristen or Twigs, if I could remember her real name I'd write that instead.  Talulah?  Or something like that?)

Kristen was there too.  She looked awesome. 

She's supposedly dating someone new, some model.  Why do you think she went stag?

(If I'm overstepping, rangers, can we count this as a Bondfire since I've been lagging on it? I've been focusing on my writing and have all these ideas for Bondfires that I hope to light up soon....)

Welcome to the Monday Morning Hot Guy Campfire. What better way to start your week than a hot guy?

Every Monday, I'm going to dedicate a CF to the Hot Guy of the Week.The catch? The CF can ONLY be about the current nominated guy. 

We all have different tastes in men, so please don't yuck anyone's yum.If you have a man you'd like to see crowned for the week, PM or hit me up on twitter (@ffcherry) with his name

Drops mic and walks away.

Join us now to discuss the first part of our May read-along: Trust in Advertising by VJGM.

This was P2P as Trust in Advertising by Victoria Michaels, which you can buy on Amazon or I have the twific as a pdf if you message me with your email address.

Bella Swan hasn't had an easy life. Just when she gets a chance to go to college and spread her wings, her life abruptly gets put on hold. Eight years later, she steps back into the real world and starts over. When she moves to San Francisco, she snags an entry level job with an advertising firm and crosses paths with the one person from her past she never expected to see again. Will it be everything she ever dreamed of or will it be her worst nightmare? 

June Read-along will be Bonne Foi by Amethyst Jackson which is on FF here.

AU. Edward Masen was changed in 1918 and abandoned by his sire. He feeds on human blood, unaware of any other way…until he stumbles across college freshman Bella Swan for a night that will change everything.
