So I didn't post yesterday's usual campfire since it was Christmas, but for movies today I thought we might as well do another in theaters campfire.

So what's in theaters right now that you have seen, that you wanna see? I watched Mockingjay with my family on Thanksgiving, and saw the last Hobbit on Monday night.

One I liked, one I didn't like so much.  Anyway, TALK TO ME!

Happy Holidays, Campers!

For this week's (early) Bondfire, I thought we could play a game. 

This will be a virtual ADF gifting Campfire!  

So, please list three things that you would like for Christmas, and another camper will send you that gift virtually!

So, for example, if I wished for some cool Calvin and Hobbes memorabilia (there isn't much official licensed stuff because Bill Watterson didn't agree with that nonsense, then someone could 'send' me these pair of shoes I found on Etsy:

Or, if I asked for a Santaward, someone could send me the cool manip that Moosals made for Robzbeanie in the CF way down there.

(Side note: loved the manip, moosals.  And Robzbeanie, that was a fun read.  Sorry I didn't comment in that CF but I did favorite it for future stories to read.)

Please note that these are all virtual gifts.  Send images or links to fun things that fellow campers ask for.  Or ask for certain FFs that you'd love a PDF of.  Let's get creative!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of the Rangers, enjoy the time with your family.  

Free for all is open from now until January 2nd.

The 12 Dates of Christmas by CherrybombLuv
Tired of being alone, Bella decides to put herself out there and, for the first time in a year, goes on a string of dates in the hopes of finding the one-hopefully in time for Christmas. She soon finds out that it's harder than it looks. Or is it? A short fic about finding love when you least expect it. A/H

This one is really cute.  B's on a manhunt.  Good times.

Afire Love by Violet Bliss
She'd spent two years thinking about the quiet guy on the third floor, fantasizing about a man she'd never met, but knew was there. One night, their worlds finally collide and Bella Swan finds that nothing could have prepared her for meeting Edward Cullen or the events that would follow.

Bella finally meets the mysterious Edward in quite dramatic fashion.  She's immediately drawn in. Into what?  Looks like some serious shiz yet to come. 

A Swallow to a Dove by shouldbecleaning
Timid Isabella is sent to keep the home and children of widower Edward Cullen.

Ahh!  This one has been all over the WTF campfire this week and it has been killing me that I had to wait until today to post! This is a period fic.  Edward so far, is off his rocker, boozed up and seemingly battling some demons of his past.  Bella is painfully shy around adults, but great with kids. She might be onto figuring out what's causing E to lose it.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Trip of a Lifetime by samekraemer
What's a girl to do when she determines that there aren't any good men left? She creates them. Full Summary inside. OOC/Canon Couples/Cowboys/Lemons...

Epic story of literally stumbling into love.  Long but sooo worth it.

Terroir by thimbles
Isabella Swan uproots her life on a whim, moving halfway around the world in search of something more. Perhaps she will find what she's looking for in the neatly laid rows of Cullen Family Wines' Hunter Valley vineyard. Sometimes, it is the grafted vine that produces the more vigorous growth.

Sweet minimal angst story.  Love Aussie-ward and love learning about wine making.

Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for a joyful season to you all!

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

Can you believe this is my first ever campfire? (Crossing my fingers I've done this right!)

I want to get in the mood for the festive season. My reading time is more limited now the kids are off school, so I'm thinking Christmas one-shots and shorter stories that can be read in an evening, 

What's your favourite seasonal story?

This is my Christmas present from RobzBeanie from last year. I wasn't allowed to share it at the time as it was her entry in the Olderward/Olderella Contest on Fiction Pad, but I'm making up for it now, with the banner I made for it  :o) 

Naughty Can Be Nice 
Bella Swan wants nothing more than to protect her job, her reputation and her heart from Edward Cullen. But damn that young intern is so hard to resist. ** OLDERWARD/OLDERELLA CONTEST - Second Place Best Overall Story, Best Drama and Best Edward **
 

Hi there! So, I've been trying to remember this fic for a while now, but I always forget to put it on the Weekly Help Desk when Wednesday rolls around. Isn't it weird how Wednesday always looks like it's misspelled? That word also looks wrong. Maybe it's just because I'm writing this at 1:00 in the morning.

Anyways. Back to the fic search. It is still Friday Free For All, right?

So, in this fic, Bella is an abused mother. I think she's married to Sam, or Jacob. Edward is her doctor. I remember that her husband (whoever he may be) gave her a weekly allowance which she spent the majority of it on formula for her daughter. I feel like the little girl's name was Elizabeth.

FYT: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10657596/1/The-Fake-Lawyer
Edward Masen is a Special Agent for the National Security Unit of the FBI. He has been placed undercover at Cullen Hale law firm where he must uncover the employee committing fraud and embezzlement. Everyone is a suspect... Including, Bella Swan, the beautiful Associate that Edward can't keep himself away from. Can he keep up his charade in the face of love? AH EXB M for lemons.

Thanks Everyone!
