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!

I heard a rumour that it was spring.  Yet, there was snow on the ground this morning, so I don't believe it. I found a few fics to snuggle in and keep warm with.

Please let them know that you found them here in the Fic Dive!

 

Something Beautiful Remains by Bethesda Gray 
After terrible loss, Bella returns to Forks to tie up loose ends. What she finds, though, is a new beginning she never could have imagined. Vampire AU, Edward/Bella. 

Heartbroken doesn't even begin to describe Bella. Canon elements.

Escape Via Larceny by Smiley2011 
A situation at a bank that would scar any normal person for life...but for Bella and her son...it could be their saving grace. Will they escape via larceny or return to their life of imprisonment? AH Canon HEA 

Angsty start here.  Hard to read about Bella's life leading up to her inadvertent involvement in a bank robbery.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

A Slow Boil by kts 
Bella's an exchange student hoping to find a job to keep herself employed for the summer so that she can stay on at an exclusive University. Her best job prospect is a part-time housekeeping position with one Mr. Cullen.

Always Avoid Alliteration by Blood Everlasting 
Creativity is the name of the game when it comes to cussing! Bella hates pop star Anthony Masen and the F Word, Edward hates his life and the lie he is forced to live. Can these two come together to live Snarkily Ever After? Let's FIND OUT! Crack-fic

Accidentally in Love by Missus T 
A personal ad for a fake fiancée leads to something they never expected. Two lonely souls discover that faking it might be the best thing that ever happened to them. ExB AH

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.

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!

Do You Write Fan Fiction?
  Sneak us a little peek at an upcoming chapter or story! It can be an excerpt, pictease, music clip, a new banner, or even a poem. Please include a LINK to your story so we can find it after you tantalize us!

Are you re-reading the Twilight Saga with us?

Come on inside and let's chat about Eclipse!!! (Or whatever book you happen to be on at the moment!)

      

 

I know this is a day early! Whoops! But, I have to work in the morning at 8:30 (is that even a real time?) and I wanted to make sure I didn't forget our discussion!!!

 

January was Twilight, February was New Moon, and March is all about Eclipse! Next month we will wrap it up with Breaking Dawn!

 

Also, bring your Eclipse recs on inside! I'm sure lots of us would love to hear which fics deal with the events, however loosely, in Eclipse!

 

 

 

 

Feed Your E-Reader

(mostly) weekly campfire

Please post all the fabulous deals you've found this week. And if you pick up a book from a comment inside, please let your fellow campers know you did.

This CF is open to all genres and all book deals.

And don't forget to feed the trees, yeah? 

Superheros. Normally we talk about that stuff in my other campfire, comiccamp. But let's talk about their movies. Their villains. What makes a good superhero movie, vs what makes a bad one?

For example: Batman Forever and Batman and Robin? The most poorly executed crap ever. These movies are so bad, Rifftrax ripped them and it was hilarious.

Good movie: Spiderman 2. It had everything, style, drama, romance, it was realistic (for the material it covered), good acting. It was pretty much perfect.

And then there are movies that are good, but also have bad parts. For me that was the Avengers movie. I thought it was good, but things tied up too easily, and they could have done better.

Talk to me!!!

Let's Talk Lemons!
 

Let's be real.

 Many of us are drawn in by the appeal of lemony goodness in Fan Fic.
Lemons can make or break a story.  

Too much?  Not enough?  Too silly?  Too Serious?

Let's discuss! Good and Bad.
Give me your Top 3 things that make you swoon about lemons and the Top 3 thing that make you flounce a lemon.

And, your all time favorite lemon filled story.

Don't forget it's Free For All Weekend! You can start a campfire on any topic.  Just remember...No bad juju on the front page.  Keep your smuttiness in the comments.  :)
 

What's everybody watching this week? I watched the latest episode of the Flash last night and my mind is reeling but there were quite a few things I predicted that were right on. 

Talk to me!!!!!

A video I found from Screen Junkies that I thought we could discuss:

Hello lovely Campers!  

For today's bondfire, let's share our wallpapers!

Take a snapshot of what's on your desktop or mobile right now.  

(I don't know how to do it on other devices but on a Mac, press 'command', shift and '3' at the same time.)

Alternatively, just show us some pretty pics that you'd use as your screensaver if no one else had access to your computer.  Like this pretty picture:

Or ones of pretty people.  ;D

ETA: I guess wallpapers and screensavers are the equivalent of hanging up posters on your walls.  Who did you have hanging on your walls when you were younger?  (Or still have now.)

Book talk time! What's everyone reading this week?

I'm re-reading my all time favourite At Swim, Two Boys by Jamie O'Neill and when I need a break I'm reading Vendetta by Catherine Doyle.

Representing those Irish authors, what?

Anyone want to share some of their favourite authors from their country or locality? The ones who capture the voices you know or whose success makes you a little bit proud?
