Happy Mother's Day to all our Mommy and Mommy-figure campers!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

The forest is a lovely place for campers of all ages, but through the years, I feel like I've learned a lot from those campers who are older than me.  Not old enough to be my mom, mind you, but enough to have more life experience than me.  Thank you for being great Mommy-figures.  :D

To make this interactive:

1) What's the best parenting advice you've ever received?  The worst?

2) As a parent or as a child, what do you think has been the most effective way to teach your kids (or most effective way that you've been taught) about your own beliefs?  About the world around you?  

3) Because it's been a rough week here in the April09 household, what do you think is the best way to teach your kids respect for their parents?  Or not to talk back?  (Or what do you think was effective as a child.) My darlings are pushing all my buttons this week!  I welcome your solicited advice.  :D

Happy start of the weekend, everyone!

FFA is in effect so you can post about whatever you like now.

Assignment: tell us about your worst weekend ever and/or your best weekend ever in this post! Or just celebrate the weekend. Whatevs

Whatcha watching?

2. I already said this but TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THE END OF AVENGERS.

(I don't wanna spoil anyone though so if you do put it in white and people - if they so choose, can highlight it.)

Hello All!

Wanna revive an old CF?

Wanna chat about that OMG moment in fic but worry about spoiling people who might not have read it yet?

Want to be spoiled so you're prepared for all those OMG moments?

Of course, right?

Come on in and get chatting about your favorite fic spoilers.

This week the topic is WIPs.

Next week will be Complete fics.

Important Note: Not everyone wants to be spoiled on everything. So, let's keep the spoilers underwraps, shall we? If you don't already know how, simply highlight the spoilery bits of your post and change the text color to white. To see other people's spoilers, just highlight to make the text appear.

And don't forget to feed the trees.

Good Morning, Campers!

Today's topic for our Bondfire is:

What do you thank the fandom for?

What do you have Twific to thank for?

What has this community taught you?

So it can be good, bad or ugly and definitely can be TMI, but what stories do you have to share?

My own experiences will be inside in case you don't understand what I'm saying.  

How about this weather??

Spring and Autumn are such lovely times of the year.  So what's the weather like at your house today?

Post a pic, screencap of the forecast, or a poem about clouds!  Is there something about this time of year that you really love?  A seasonal festival or even a food that's only available right now?

Guess what time it is?

It's hey batman time! Ask me anything, watch me fight the Joker, - join in the fight and see if you survive! Tell me to predict the future.

Anything (that is within the rules) goes! 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!

Welcome to our bi-weekly Healthy Living CF!

Topic from the forest: How does one start AND stick to new healthier habits?

Any advice other dwellers?

As always, feel free to stop by and just check in.

ETA: Rangers, can we get a tag? Thx!

Tag? Sure thing, pretty 

I got nothing here at work today.Soooo....

Let's play FAN-FICTIONARY 

Rules:

Find 1 or 2 images (MAX) that are related to a fic and post them. Others will try and guess which fic you are talking about. Get creative, have fun.

PSA: When replying to someone's guess, i.e. telling them they are right or good job, to the extent possible, don't use images there. It will just take longer for the campfire to update and load and all that stuff !

Example:

 

(Answer: Nightmare Before Christmas)

Let's get this Humpday over with!!

If you need me, it's probably easier to tweet me. I'm @ffcherry over there

Hi! What's everyone reading lately? What's the last book that you got really excited?
