The other day, grayskiesatdawn posted the best thing in a Daily Chew CF.

It was a version of what's known as a Mad Lib-

A Mad Lib is an already written story in which you insert your own words to finish the story. 

I found a few different ones for us to play with.

Choose one, then come in here and post your story.

Keep in mind that you need to use words associated with that Fandom 

For Twilight Only: http://www.wordblanks.com/mad-libs/story/9744

For ANY fandom (just let us know which one you chose) :

Batman http://www.madglibs.com/showglib.php?glibid=95

Harry Potter http://www.madglibs.com/showglib.php?glibid=58

The point is to have fun. You can be serious or funny- it's up to you 

Yes, you read that title right, and that is what I'm calling this.

Have you needs that men just can't seem to always (or ever) fulfill? Do you find yourself looking for the opposite attractions of this fine planet?

Well, I ( and others I'm sure) do.

Welcome to the HOT GIRL campfire. There will probably be discussion of boobs, and other equipment. Or maybe you're straight and you just appreciate beauty in all its splendor?

Let's see who's first up!

We have a hot guy campfire, but I was wondering what thoughts would be on a hot girl campfire, not only for any male campers we have but for those like myself who are bi or lesbian. What are people's thoughts on this? I know I have many girl crushes and maybe some other people do too? Feel free to speak up.

Thank you all for voting each month in the Fic Dive Polls!
I appreciate it!

Found a few treasures this week!
Please let them know you found them here on ADF

A Case of You by SparrowNotes24
He's her warning. She's his sweet temptation. An addict always wants what he can't have, even if it will ruin him. "Speak of the devil and she shall appear. Who am I kidding? I'm Beelzebub."

Edward is a recovering alcoholic battling his way through sobriety. Bella has issues of her own. Angsty.

Island Nights by compass54
I would always remember him as a dangerously beautiful twenty-two-year-old, a sensual and affectionate lover who could put a gun to a man's head and pull the trigger. Why I couldn't forget him was no mystery. I was still in love with him.

Bella is spending her summer working at a resort. I keep seeing staff quarters a la Dirty Dancing in my head.  She's warned to stay away from the Staff Bartender.  She doesn't. He's morally ambiguous and as of the end of the last posted chapter...MIA.  Loving it!

Loose Screws by AgoodWITCH
When your college degree & 2.25 will get you on a ride on a subway, if you weren't stuck in the Podunk town of Forks, Bella struggles to figure out her adult life. A job that was a last resort & a feeling she can't get rid of lead her down a path she never imagined. Forks Hardware is the beginning of that journey, & it's easy to see that to work there requires a few loose screws.

Let Me by iambeagle
A story about two friends, a three-day music festival, and stupid love. EPOV.

Jar of Hearts by sunflowersongs
Bella Swan, a shy, quiet librarian finds herself bewildered to be pursued by the handsome and charming anthropology student Edward Cullen. A little drama, a tiny bit of angst, a little humor, a lot of romance.
 

Come out and play everyone!

Went bra shopping yesterday.  Always a pleasure. (Note sarcasm.)
Where do you buy your undergarments?
Do you go sexy? Matching sets? Whatever holds it all together?
What size are you? Would go up or down if you had a choice?

Don't forget to Feed the Trees!
Today I have:
Strories for Lilah--some book I'll never read.
University of Iowa
Download a free audiobook.
My ads are so boring.

Come share what three things  you love right now.

I want to know what's making the campers smile!

ps please keep feeding those trees!  it's vital for the site to keep developing.

2015 Fic Dive of the Year!

We had over 1600 votes cast to give us your favorite stories rec'd in the Fic Dive in the past year.
Your Top Ten Favorites are below.

Congrats to all of our Favorites!

And our Winner is.....

Come Back Tomorrow by Shadow Masen
Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly in the path of the best things that will ever happen to us. ExB AH

The Bull Rider by Edward's Eternal
Bella's an exemplary student who enjoys her part-time job at the University, helping with event days; except when she has to deal with one particular sponsor. Edward Cullen runs the most popular country bar in the area. Handsome, charming and cocky, he only has eyes for one member of the student body. Can he ever make her see beneath his façade?

My Nightingale by Edward's Eternal
Edward, a photographer without roots, meets Bella, a nurse in the ER after a slight mishap. He is everything she isn't allowed. She is everything he didn't know he needed. Together they make their way, fighting against what threatens to separate them. 

Out of the Corner of My Eye by FluffyLiz
For nearly 100 years the house has waited, defying time as it slowly crumbles, until it can finally draw in the one person it needs to save the lost soul within. But why has it chosen Bella, and will she understand the dangers before it's too late?

Getting Blitzed by Nolebucgrl 
The continuing adventures of Cockyback and Reed Girl. College is over and real life awaits. How will they handle the ups and downs thrown their way as Edward enters the NFL and Bella approaches graduation? Rated R for Rainbow.

Two Blue Lines by Payton79 
Bella, a good girl, was dumped by her long-time boyfriend. Edward, a young doctor, is feeling suffocated by his father's plans. Waking up next to a stranger is a shock for a good girl. Seeing the girl of your dreams run out on you the morning after sucks for a nice guy. What if two blue lines will bind the two together for life? What if they can't even remember how they came to be?

Singing With Lucy by WeeKittyAndTAT
Little Lucy Swan is turning five and her birthday wish is to sing with hot country star Edward Cullen. When her momma wins tickets to see him in concert, will little Lucy's birthday wish come true? 

My Laird by StillDreaming85
Isabella is an English woman, trying to escape a marriage she doesn't want. Edward is a Scottish Laird, with a soft spot for a damsel in distress and a hate for the English Redcoats that pursue her, but what does he do with her now that he has saved her? He has no choice, other than to bring her home, but he wasn't counting on falling for the lass on the journey to Castle Menzies.

Bliss by samekraemer
A special dog at a no-kill shelter brought together two people who might never have met. There were circumstances which made things difficult, but at the end of the day, Bliss was there to lick away the pain. Adult content. Canon couples though OOC. They may get a little dirty. Rated M. 

Nightmare Before Christmas by LyricalKris
When Edward's son died, he took Edward's heart and soul with him. Even a decade of mourning didn't seem good enough. But then, Edward met college student Bella who thrived despite her own tragedy. Can Edward's cold, dead heart beat again?  

Honorable Mentions--These 5 were in the mix until the last possible second!!

Shaky Ground by LatteLemon
Rock 'n' roll is sexuality personified. It is attitude. It is all the things that your parents told you not to do. It's the freedom to express yourself. It's being alive. Only multi-platinum, award-winning rocker Edward Cullen is anything but until he meets Bella Swan. A collaboration fic from LatteCoug and Carson1 in celebration of MizzezPattinson's graduation. Rated M

Lies Destroy by awish0921
Edward Masen's future, for all intents & purposes, was as bright as the sun. He had everything, a home, parents that loved him, girls falling all over him, law school on the horizon, then with a single twist of fate, it all came crashing down making Edward question everything he's ever known. AH/EPOV. 

Sharp Left Turn by fyrebyrd89
In an instant your life can take a sharp left turn. Can you find the strength to lose it all and gain the unknown? Lives will be shattered, including your own. 

Letter From the Heartland by BoysNBooksRBetter
Edward is a movie star struggling with his fame. Bella is a Midwestern girl and busy college student. The two strike up an unlikely friendship after E receives a fan letter from B that forces him to confront his Hollywood demons. The friendship gets complicated when phone calls are no longer enough for the actor and romantic feelings start to become real. E&BPOV AU 

Designated Hitter by esmegrace
Orthopedic surgeon, Bella Swan encounters the last person she ever expected to see again on Valentine's Day no less. Can she remain professional with Major League pitcher, Edward Masen, given their pasts?

Did your favorite make the list?  Have you read all of them?  

Thanks for a great year!!
