ADF was mentioned in an article on Pop Sugar the other day when talking about Fan Fics better that Twilight or 50 Shades.

I think this is a great place to write fic.  No big brother pulling fics, and reviewers are all members of the community, so (hopefully) they're less likely to leave nastiness in their reviews.  Our Rangers with their trusty fire extinguishers can douse flames immediately.

How many of the 9 mentioned stories in the Pop Sugar article have you read?

I've read 6 out of the 9.  
You Get Me Closer to God was one of my very first!

hey, guys!  sorry for my absence.  let's get back to normal and talk about what we've been reading lately.

Life and Death, anyone?

So I started watching Girl meets world in the hope that it would be a girls version of the old show, meaning that I wanted it to deal with real issues of a girls life and not be campy in the process. It's been a year or so and the show isn't doing any of this. Boy meets world had a real feeling from the beginning and didn't feel contrived but Girl meets world does. I'm more than disappointed because there have been some really good episodes, just not as many as the original show.

so to get to the point has this ever happened to you and a tv show, I recall Angel not being as great as Buffy

This song Springsteen by Eric Church has one of my favorite lines:
"Funny how a melody, sounds like a memory..."

Certain songs definitely evoke strong memories for me.  What song makes you remember some long lost little detail from your life?
 

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!
 

Just one little treasure this week.  Please tell the writers you found them here on ADF!

Tilted by purpleC305
The universe seemed to be spinning out of control. For one it was heartache and the unknown, for the other it was just a job. HEA. Edward/Bella. **Meet the Mate Cont

Secrets everywhere in this one.  Bella and Edward are both hiding something!

Flash Back Fic Dive:

Tequila Sunrise by 2old4fanfic
It started with a Tequila Sunrise and a drunken text to her ex, Jacob. Then came two pink lines on a plastic stick. Now, she's trapped with her stuck up boss in an elevator. He has an outrageous proposal that will solve her need for cash and his need for human contact. She could have never guuessed where this elevator ride would take her. Canon couples eventually 

Tatted Hips and Wicked Lips by Hoodfabulous
Bella can't stand Edward Cullen. She hates his tattoos, his piercings, and his stupid band. But mostly she hates how badly she wants him. He hates her too...or so she thinks. Will one iPhone fail change everything?

Taking a Shot by TwoTwiMoms
Newly traded and alone in an unfamiliar city, hockey player Edward Masen meets Bella Swan who happens to be his good friend's beautiful little sister. Hesitant to date a hockey player after being burned, Edward tries to convince Bella that he's not interested in puck bunnies. How hard will she make him work to convince her?
 

Take What You Want by purelyamuse
Based on January 2012 witfit prompts. Though Bella's known Edward for years, they've just started hanging out. His crass, smelly boy self is not appealing, but his looks and charm are. How will she deal with her feelings for the gross, flirty boy?

Swan Lake by SydneyAlice
He's a lost traveler needing a place to spend the night. She's the owner of a bed and breakfast. What could they possibly have in common? A story about taking wrong turns and reaching destinations you never imagined.
 

Happy Reading All! Your feedback gives me the warm and fuzzies on cold fall days.

Change in schedule for the read-along!

People have been finding it hard to read along in time to discuss one fic per fortnight (that's two weeks for you Americans; I can't believe you don't have the word fortnight). Last week some people gave sensible suggestions to split fics up into two.

Therefore I'm rescheduling:

First half of Mr Horrible 11 October (chapters 1-17 inclusive)

Second half of Mr Horrible 25 October

Mr Horrible by AlgonquinrtThis is not on ff, but you can find it on AO3 here or on perusing the shelves or pm me specifying your preferred format. Mr Horrible is one of my favourite fics and very funny. It has James as a drag queen and Emmett as a conspiracy theorist. Summary: They meet at a gallery, from two different worlds. Watch as they learn… oh, who am I kidding here? They meet. They are opposites. They attract. Rated M for serious potty mouth and scenes of the citrus variety.

First half of I Hunger for Your Touch on 8 November (chapter 1-25)

Second half on 22 November (this is a long fic even so!)

I hunger for your touch by jmolly; this is on FF. Summary: The Cullens thought Edward would never grow up, but marriage to a determined human girl,& a trip to Brazil, alter him forever.On his honeymoon,Edward finds more than love,friendship, self-acceptance,& an ability to lead.He embraces a future. Twilight - Rated: M - English - Romance/Adventure - Chapters: 50 - Words: 586,951 - Reviews: 1697 - Favs: 616 - Follows: 294 - Updated: May 25, 2011 - Published: Jan 4, 2010 - Edward, Bella - Complete

Then there will be a Christmas classic. Any ideas for that?

Hope this is OK with everyone.
