Welcome to Crafty Corner, a new weekly campfire to celebrate all things hand-made!

We know the campers of ADF are a talented bunch, so come join us as we flex our creative muscles. We'll cover everything from knitting to scrapbooking to baking to jewelry, and if there's something in particular you want to see, just let us know.

We'll be posting every week alternating between two main focuses:

~ Tutorials - We'll showcase projects that may take several days to several weeks to complete, where we'll give you a supply list and estimated cost to complete, along with step-by-step instructions. We'll also have mini-projects, where you should be able to complete the projects in a single evening with items you already have at home.

~ Show & Tell Showcase/Ask Me How/Market Place - Come join us and show off what you've been working on, whether your progress on a previous tutorial, or whatever else your creative self is up to. This is also where you can share tips and tricks with, ask for help with a project you're stuck on, buy/sell/barter/trade with other campers and basically self-promote, because we know you're awesome. 

Please take the below poll so we know where best to focus our creative efforts, and if your favorite type of project isn't listed, please leave us your suggestions. We're also interested in what sort of timing works best for you guys for posting. Please let us know if you prefer Monday, Friday, or weekends for this kind of campfire. 

Here are some examples of projects we'll do, and a sample calendar of events:

DYI- Simple Photo Album or Brag Book

DYI Scrapbook Page

No-Bake Cake Batter Truffles
 

Project Calendar:
     Week 1 ~ Craft Tutorial
     Week 2 ~ Show and Tell Showcase; Ask Me How; Market Place
     Week 3 ~ Mini Craft Tutorial (supplies on hand)
     Week 4 ~ Show and Tell Showcase

Remember to take our poll so we can tailor the campfire to your interests, and let us know what day works best for you to get crafty with us!
 

Can one of the lovely rangers tag us, pretty please?

If you could choose a movie to have never been made, which one would it be?

(I just napped for 3 hours, I can't get up early like some of you people I don't know how you do it.)

Time for our new campfire, guys!

Get in here and ask MrsCherryBomb anything - we know she's a writer, camper, ranger and all round kick ass lady.

Here's your chance to get to know her better!

Don't be shy! MrsCB isn't :)

**ETA: I have to do a Girl's Night with The Girl as Mr C is out of town, so I have to go-

Keep asking your questions + I'll get to you tomorrow (and after if questions keep coming in), promise** 

MrsCB 6:10pm PST

BBQ Season officially starts in the US next weekend. Come tell us your favorite sides or things to grill besides meats or the homemade recipe for the must-use rub or bbq sauce.

Congrats to our Top Six Favorite Stories from April!

These 6 will go on to the Fic Dive Story of the Year Poll in July!

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. 

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?

A Life Unplanned by savannavansmutsmut
 Bella was doing fine raising her son on her own. That was, until her mother convinced her that her son should have a sibling. Not wanting her kids to have different fathers and look like a slut, she tracks down Edward Cullen, man-whore extraordinaire and father of her son, unbeknownst to him. It's been a few years, and Edward has changed a lot, or has he...

RED by Vivian Cullen
 She's is just waiting... Biding her time to make her exit... She just never thought someone would... just notice.
 

Bright Eyes by JennaRay
He tells me I should have walked away when I had the chance, but this pretty-eyed stranger doesn't know what he's gotten himself into with me.

My Beauty, Your Beast by backwardglance 
 Her scars are on the outside. His are on the inside. A different kind of Beauty and the Beast. OOC All human. Bella/Edward POV

Welcome to the new campfire I've decided to call, "Otherworldly". Every other week or so I will either be doing this campfire or comiccamp. This campfire will feature all the new fanfiction that I have found in other fandoms to share with you.

Jupiter Ascending -

Fascination by Desertfyre

"You are an irritation, yet a beautiful fascination." Unexpectedly, Balem Abrasax finds himself slowly becoming fascinated with an Earthling woman.

Syrgja by Lady Charity

None of this was supposed to happen. SHIELD wasn't supposed to find Thor and Loki on Earth three years after the battle. Loki wasn't supposed to be a silent shadow of who he once was. And the Avengers...weren't ever meant to have to endure the madness that would follow. "Cry, Loki. Cry."

To Swear on Your Life by Nova Fearnewood

When Natasha is haunted by her memory of the Helicarrier incident and her fear of the Hulk, a certain Doctor is also left with the awful memory. Romance blooms in the strangest of places but true love can withstand any hardship. My first story, please be kind. I already suck at summaries. Rated for language, violence, and adult scenarios in later chapters.

If you have any other fandom stories this is the campfire to post them! They don't even have to be on ff.net. Anyway, I hope this is a good first pickin's for Otherworldly. Let me know what you think if you read any and send an author a review!

Good Morning, Campers!  

For this week's Bondfire, let's talk about those links that you can't resist!

You know what I'm talking about, those news articles about some star you don't care about but have to read anyway.

Those pap pictures that you don't want to feed into but just have to see.  (Rob and Twigs, anyone?)

Or tell us your favorite websites (besides ADF) that you check in on regularly.

Or are you a follower of a YouTuber?  Tell me more about it.  I'm curious about this world since starting RRose's Play, Pause Repeat.  How do people make money by vlogging?  Ad revenue?  

The links I can't resist are shared inside the CF.

ETA: Even though most of the news articles on Yahoo suck, I do like to click on their Photos of the Day/Photos of the Week link. Come share your photo of this week.  It has to be taken this week, something you already have, and also has to be a picture taken by you.  

Do you have a CF/Bondfire idea but feel to shy to post a CF?  Jump right in.  Or share your idea with me via PM for a future bondfire.  I have a note on my iphone that I type out Bondfire ideas for future CFs so I don't forget.  I have a long list right now so I actually take the time to think about all this so I hope people enjoy them.  :D

On July 2nd, The Hot Guy Campfire

will be celebrating its 3 year anniversary

To celebrate that momentous occasion, I welcome you to 

The Run Off! Poll 1 vs 2

The Run Off is a total of 5 polls that you get to vote in

The first 4 polls will show 13 of the Hot Guys profiled in our second year

You'll get a full 7 days to vote for which guy out of that 13 you'd like to see in a nother post

The 5th poll will be with the winners from the previous 4 polls up against each other 

The winner of poll 5, will get his second campfire dedication on Monday June 29th

So come on in and VOTE!

Let's talk Reality Shows!

Any TV show where real people have to sing, dance, cook or renovate, or just make an arse of themselves to win prizes.

Give me the good, the bad, the ugly of your local shows.  Which international shows do you watch?  Ever been a contestant?  Most memorable moments, crazy judges comments, contestant melt downs, or general "WTF is happening here" train wrecks.

lol remember that time poor Sammy ended up on a Japanese game show :)

I just got up. I'm exhausted. Batdog kept me up half the night for no reason.

ANYWAY. ITS TIME FOR HEY, BATMAN!

ask me anything, share a gif, start a fight with me (and by that I mean a Batman fight not a name-calling could become a fire fight).

This is the campfire of imagination.

so, it's this guy's birthday today. ol' patty.

(apparently he’s some good-looking Brit who played a vampire in a movie or something.)

come forth and post your fav pics of him, smokin' gifs, favourite movie role, funniest interview. basically anything rob-related.

have fun!
