Welcome to the first Come Out and Play Campfire of the year!

The purpose of this campfire is to create discussion and to encourage lurkers and folks who are hesitant to post in campfires to Come Out and Play!

You don't have to be witty, or funny, or post images---we just want to know you're out there!

Here's an opportunity to say HI and give us a quick answer to a question.  Just a Yes or No.  Of course, we'd love to hear your reasoning, but it's not required.  Although, good discussion comes from interaction.  
It's up to us to make the Forest what we want it to be!

The Powerball Lottery Jackpot here in the US is up to a whopping:
$675 Million

Will you buy a ticket? If you're not in the US, would you buy a ticket if it was in your country?
 If you win, what is the first thing you do?  Hide out? Change your number? Quit your Job?

Also, In the comments section, I've added a list if things more likely to happen to you than winning the powerball jackpot. LOL

We here at ADF are a friendly, helpful bunch!

If you have a request for a type of story or a book,

Don't Look Back by She'sGotHighHopes

Bella breaks free of her unpleasant living situation and embarks on a new adventure.  Looking forward to more.

The Christmas Ship by Alisa Pearce
Hedge fund manager Edward Cullen didn't make the Forbes list this year and thinks he's a failure, just like his father and teachers in small-town Forks always told him. Only one person ever believed in him, but he left her behind to chase his fortune in New York City. Can a festive Seattle tradition bring magic and love back to his life? Holiday themes, sweet romance, AH, E/B, HEA

I wish I could see the Christmas Ships in Seattle!  It sounds like a beautiful holiday event.  This is a quick romancy completed fic.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Key West by pattyrose
Bella is 5 minutes away from what's to be her happiest day - when a phone call changes it all. Frustrated and pissed-off, she embarks on a 10 day vacay to Key West, hoping for some space in which to clear her head, but when she meets the cocky, flirty and sexy-as-sin diving instructor, her plans take a much steamier turn. BxE Summer Short Story with M thru F updates. Rated M.

Just a Number by LyricalKris
Numbers are often invisible obstacles. For Edward, a significant age difference between him and Bella dictates the confines of their relationship. Can Bella teach him that sometimes a number is just a number?

Ever wanted to learn how to ballroom dance? Bella's BFF Rose did & had big plans when she talks recently single Bella into going with her to a dance class, helping Bella discover it takes two to Tango! Drabble Fic, OOC

Investing in Love by AngelSandusky
What happens when multi-billionaire, SpyTech CEO Edward Cullen meets waitress and modern dancer Bella Swan? When Edward proposes an unconventional business deal to Bella, will it lead to an investment of the heart, or will someone from Bella's past cause a meteor shower of complications?

 Enjoy!  Thanks for your feedback and support.  I appreciate it!

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

Share a Sneak Peek of your next chapter here!

Just a reminder of the Classic Fic Readalong upcoming books! I hadn't realised it but both have been pulled to publish. [edit, as Camilla has pointed out, Creature of Habit is still on ff and is linked to below]

Our January book is Let's Get Physical by Lalina. We will discuss the first half of this next Sunday, that's chapters 1-18 and the rest of it two weeks later.

This was pulled from ff but is available on Perusing the Shelves. I know some people have problems finding their way around that site so PM me if you want a copy. Bella's husband leaves her and she employs personal trainer Edward to help her lose weight and get fit. Of course, he helps her with other things as well, if ya know what I mean (and I think you do).

Our February book is Creature of Habit by EZRocksAngel.

Bella begins working for the elusive and distant Edward Cullen who she discovers is hiding behind an elaborate charade to maintain his secret lifestyle. Bella is determined to find out the mysteries of Edward Cullen but with what results? AU, OOC.

So, I finally started watching Teen Wolf. I realize that I am late to this. I am about midway through the second season.  May I have good fic recs from this fandom? I am interested in slashy ones. But mostly interested in well written ones. 

My rec below is from one of our old writers turned published author. I believe she wrote Wallbanger and I believe this title is OF.

Not at all confident in my link skills on the mobile site.
