Happy New Year everyone! So, I've been gone from the fanfiction world for about a year now, and I'm back and looking for so recommendations for good completed fics. I love angsty B/E fics, nothing fluffy please. I am hoping that since I've been gone for so long that some good new fics popped up! 

Recommendation of an oldie but goodie (since I don't know of anything new):

Unexpected Circumstances by Savage7289: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6496709/1/Unexpected-Circumstances

P.S. if anyone knows of a place I can find some Claire/Jamie fanfiction, I'd love to know about it ;)

Sooooo, it's NCAA bowl time, and almost NFL playoff time, and it's a great time to come on in here and give up some sugar to our fabulous fellow camper, STEELEKAJE!! 

Every Saturday from the end of August through the entire season, she lets us come in here and get our fandom on for our favorite teams. Whether you are a college or pro fan (or both!!), she's your go to girl for all things football. She's a wealth of knowledge and she actually watches lots of games and provides her wisdom and insight.

We haven't seen her for a few weeks while we're recuperating from the regular season, so get in here and give up the loooooooove for our fearless leader. And, let's all root for her to win her fantasy league this year - she's doing really great so far.

SO, STEELEKAJE BB!! Wherever you are, we're sending kudos and kumbayas your way - WE LOVE YOU, GIRL!!!

And, yes. I'm going to light a Buckeye fire tomorrow. I'm close to apoplectic already (get out the tranquilizer gun)!!!

ETA: Keep the love coming dearies. I'm out for the night. I will check in next year. Yuk yuk!!

Welcome to The Weekly Funnies - New Years Edition!!

Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures!

The Fic Dive is looking a little wonky this week because I'm posting from my home computer.  I'll pretty it up tomorrow when I get back to work!  Sorry!

You all know the drill!

A Merry Misunderstanding by lovepotionsbrewer
Edward is wishing for a little peace in the office, but there are two problems. First, models in lingerie have invaded his safe zone. Second, his sister is convinced he needs to hire an assistant. Then he makes one tiny mistake. Maybe if he pretends to be something he's most definitely not he can still get his job done. EPOV - AH - Awkward- A Christmas gift for Sunflower Fran.

OMG.  This Edward could not be more absurd.  So funny.  Bella is just doing whatever it takes to get the job done!  Quick fic ending on New Years.

Protector By Kitty T's Keyboard 
After a vicious attack when she was thirteen, Bella Swan writes a story about what happened to her to try to find and bring her attacker to justice. She had no idea what the ramifications of signing over the rights to have it made into a film, or what choosing Edward Cullen to play her brother Emmett would be. BPOV A/H A/U Canon pairings. Rated M for mature themes and later lemons! 

This is the new companion piece to Protector: Something at First Sight from a previous Fic Dive.  It's just starting and getting into Bella's POV. I'm loving both of these.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Tips for Better Living by adorablecullens 
Edward is a self-centered college drop-out, waiting on tables and living an empty life. Redemeption arrives in the guise of a quirky customer who offers him some much-needed advice for happiness. Does Edward have the character to rise to the challenge? 

Story about Edward growing up with life lessons from a much older Bella.

Trio by staceleo
A poet, a realist and an optimist came together over an appreciation of the written word. Love tore them apart. There can only be room for two in this quest for love and a battle over a woman's heart. Bella and Edward.

Classic love triangle. Edward and Garret battle it out for Bella's heart.

Happy New Year!  Looking forward to diving for lots more new fics in 2015!
 

This week’s Author Spot showcases talented Author and Photographer RockRaven244. Come on by to read about her amazing fics and view her beautiful photographs.

Anyone got any big plans for New Years?
I always feel like having a party or ringing in the new year with a big group of friends will be so much fun!  Then, on NYE, I really just want to lay around in my jammies, bang pots and pans with the kids and go to bed at 12:05. 

Anyone have any fun or unique adventures planned?
Any New Years traditions you have with your friends or family?

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

ANNOUNCEMENT:  I have new rules for 2015. If you'd like to see a certain someone as the Hot Guy of the Week, the week of your birthday, DM me in plenty of time (include your day, so I know how to schedule him). ONLY Rule: He can't have been posted in the past 6 months-

I am hoping that someone has enough computer program and/or document conversion smarts to help me out.

I was given a book that my late brother wrote wrote in the 60's and 70's.  It is 336 typewritten pages!  My sister-in-law has given me publishing rights on it and my husband and I feel it is worth working on.

What I would like to do is scan it into a pdf format and edit it ibn word as there are several spelling and grammerical errors in it. 

What I need is a suggestion of a fairly inexpensive software that will turn it into an editable word document.  I understand that I need a software that is a pdf OCR but there are several out there!  I am hoping that someone out there in the camper world has worked with one before that they can suggest.

Also, if anyone has experience with the Neat Scanners I would appreciate your feedback on those.  I have a scanner but it works fairly slowly so I am looking for something else that is faster.

Thanks to everyone who runs this website, works on posting the different campfires and the campers who post and comment!  This place is one of my go to places when I need to decompress or have a laugh!

Happy New Year everyone!
