This time around, I thought we'd do something a little different

Let's chat about our failures

Not the kind that makes you cry

The kind that make you smack your head and wonder how you weren't able to get through to someone

Here's an example: The Girl has never taken a liking to Latin based dance music 

Therefore, I have failed as a parent

Come join me-

Rules: Have fun (this is supposed to be tongue in cheek)

No being mean

It can be related to anything 

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has the info on the author Meredith Wild. 

I came accross an article about Meredith Wild, author of the Hacker Series, in the Daily Mail.  In the article it said Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey were her inspiration. 

My question is, did she write in the twilight fanfiction universe before she self published?  If so, what was her penname?  Is there anything still out there?

If I remember the rules correctly, I need a rec for you now.

Spin and Sway by Pattyrose.  Chapter 28 contains one of the better lemons I've come across.  And the story is pretty awesome too.  xoxo

Thanks!

Teresa

You know the drill. Ask me anything, tell me a story, share something, tell me to start walking to get my weight off (because this Batman is overweight) and all those lovely little things you love.

This is the campfire of imagination.

We here at ADF are a friendly, helpful bunch!

If you have a request for a type of story or a book,
this is your spot.

If you are unsure about something that has to do with ADF,
ask here.

If you have amnesia about a fic,
this is the place to ask about it!

If you are unsure about something that DOES NOT have to do with ADF,
ask here as well!

This week it's the beautiful Ziyi Zhang! (Personally I think she's one of the most lovely women I have ever seen.)

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!

Found a nice little treasure trove this week.  Most are just getting started and I'm really looking forward to more!

Please don't forget to tell them you found them here in the Fic Dive at ADF!  

My Shipper Heart by Marvar
Edward wasn't looking for anyone, but he found her just the same. It's too bad she thinks he's just a client.

This one is just starting, but made me chuckle out loud a few times.  Glad she's back to writing.

Beautifully Broken by TheMadOnes4
Successful photographer, Bella Swan, gets the job she's been yearning for as A-list actor Edward Cullen's photographer. But, Edward and Bella soon realize they're connected in the most unexpected way. They're beautifully broken.

Hollywood Edward and a quirky Bella. 

Becoming a Cullen by KaitieEM
Carlisle and Esme take in one last foster child: 17 year old Bella Swan. Timid, reserved and in desperate need of some nurturing, will living with the Cullen's be just what she needs?

I love the Bella and Jake relationship in this one.  Bella is bounced around the foster care system and is sent to live with the Cullens.  Needs a little beta help, but I'm liking it so far.

Healing by MountainTop76
"It was only a day into the vacation that was designed to heal me that I realized it wasn't going to work." Can Edward step in and help where a vacation can't? Can he make Bella see she is everything he is looking for and that a broken heart can be mended? Can she find a way to see past the difficulties and embrace the possibilities? Only time will tell. But they only have 10 days.

Although this Bella needs to take a refresher course on "Stranger Danger," I like where this is going.

Emma Matthews by Anton M
Isabella has been cooperating with the DEA under her father's nose. A video footage reveals her involvement, her brother murders their father, and she agrees to be a key witness in federal criminal cases against an ex-judge, a congressman, and an array of criminals, including her brother. AH

This poor Bella is desensitized to the violent world around her.  Edward is the Federal Marshall assigned to keeping her safe.  

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Which Brings Me to You by DazzlinSparkle05
Bella is a lonely, snarky girl. Edward is a guy on a constant search for something more. Will these two be what the other is looking for? This is the continuation of my o/s Santa's Kiss.

Two of a Kind by Nilla79
Bella, 23, and Edward, 25, meet at a social event. As far as appearances go, they couldn't be more different, but they are instantly drawn to each other. Could they really be soul mates? And will the people around them accept their relationship?

Love hearing your feedback!  Tell me which you're going to read!  Happy Reading!
 

Come out and play!!

Come on out lurkers!  
We know you're there!
Give us a little tidbit about you.

Today, I want to know your favorite breakfast cereal.  Either now, or as a kid or both!  I'm still down for a bowl of Lucky Charms from time to time.

As a kid I was into Golden Grahams or Corn Pops.  Nowadays I prefer Cinnamon Life or Cracklin Oat Bran.

See that hungry tree up there?  ^^^^
Let's fee him!

My trees today are:
Chevy Dealer
A "Hot" NYSE stock alert
Kaplan, still wants me to come to school

Hey rangers, can I get a pin?

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

Don't forget the new rules for 2015. Request a guy for your birthday week + as long as he hasn't worn the crown in 6 months, you can have him!

Thanks Tarbecca for stepping in while I was gone last week :)

*** Sorry for the delay this morning. Neither of my photo upload sites feel like working**

Happy football weekend campers!

So who's playing? Who do you like? Who do you hate? How's your fantasy team? How's any sport other than football (come tell me about it, I don't watch anything else but I'll be a quick, dirty recruit for your team!)

My boys are off on a very, very, very early bye this week (grrrrrrrrrrrr.)

Here's a nod at my men playing........San Francisco tomorrow. How random is that?!
