Hi there Campers!

april09 has her hands full today, so I'm getting this Campfire started :)

It's nearly the end of another year, so today we're doing your Top 5 lists of 2014.

Give us your Top 5 fics, books, songs, movies of this year.  Do one or all categories, or add your own!  Feel free to list your Top 5 hot bods of the year & include pics ;)

how the heck is everyone?

what have you all been up to?

is anyone still even kicking around here?

LET'S HAVE A CATCH UP CAMPFIRE!

Welcome to our biweekly Healthy Lifestyle CF!

Holidays are among us. Sometimes this brings joy. Other times, it seems to drop my mood into the abyss. 

Forget about the overeating, unless that's a result of the depressive moods, how do you try to handle your mood this time of year?

As always, feel free to use this campfire as just a check in with us if you don't have any comments on the topic of choice.

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!

It's been a while, so today, let's play some Fandom Follies, shall we

This idea came to me yesterday when I read a description that I've read many other times + put the question to twitter to describe what the author really meant

So come on in + ask us, what we thought the author meant when they wrote something

The only rules in this CF are don't name the author + don't ask the story. We don't want to embarrass anyone 

eta: why is my example the only one in here? I know you've read these things, too 

Following a brief hiatus, the weekly book post is back.

What have you read this past fortnight, guys?

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!

Come on all you lurky lurkers who lurk!
Let us know what you're reading!

Don't for get to VOTE for the Fic Dive of the Month for November!

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

Christmas in Hawaii by purplec305
Christmas isn't Bella's favorite holiday. Until this year. Can a handsome stranger change her mind and make her see the beauty of the holiday? Humor. Drabble fic.

I do enjoy and am looking forward to some holiday fics!  In this one, B & E move to hot and heavy quickly.  Lemony goodness.

Instinct by fallanydeeper
Bella Swan has the big break she's always dreamed of and she's starring along side of none other than Edward Cullen. However, image and personality aren't all they're made out to be, as Bella soon realizes. Maybe fame and fortune isn't what she really wants.

Edward treats Bella horribly upon their first meeting.  He'll come along though.  Jake...he's the one we need to keep our eye on.  Things were getting a little dicey in the last few posted chapters.  Eeek!

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

The Port Angeles Players by WriteOnTime
New in the town of Forks and eager to please her boss at the university, Bella auditions for a local production of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing". Her co-star is a handsome but confusing local doctor. Curtains-up on love. AH canon pairings.

E is such a dork in this one.  I love it.

Geek Love by SassenachWench
Humor, romance, healing and rampant geekitude collide in this Edward & Bella love story. "A funny, quirky love story about two computer geeks whose playful friendship turns into something more." Chokin' the Rubber Chicken blog.

I laughed out loud so many times in this one!  One of my favorite Jaspers.  His "french fry theater" was hilarious.

Best Wishes for a Wonderful Holiday Season to Everyone!  Can't believe it's here already!  Your feedback is always appreciated!

The Weekly Funnies!

Hello ADF campers,
Welcome to The Weekly Funnies! The campfire for every picture, gif, video, meme or story you want to share for laughs and giggles. Anything goes, nothing is too silly. Seriously.

Post it here and make your fellow campers snort and snicker.
With only 22 days until christmas, many of us are right in the middle of pre holiday stress and could need some temporary relief from it.

Kelli_Rose is away this week, so, since I love this CF and hope you do too, I'm filling in with her permission.

Come inside and share what makes you LOL and ROFL!

*The weekly question*

What is the funniest/weirdest christmas present you have ever received? Was there anything that made you wonder "Does this person, that is supposed to, know me at all?"

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 the LINK to your story so we can find it after you tantalize us!

Please forgive my tardiness with this - I seem to have a problem engaging my brain on Monday morning. I've set up an alarm on my phone so hopefully I can get back on track. Love to all you authors out there - you're the reason we read fanfic, and we love to see what you're cooking up!!

Author in the Spotlight

Pattyrose's stories are amazingly epic that bring drama, flair and sometimes tears. She writes the best Edwards that we initially want to punch, but end up cheering for at the end.

That is her awe inspiring talent, she creates flawed characters that over time, readers fall hopelessly in love with.

In Patty's interview she shares behind the scenes of her personal life, her writing process and aspirations. Please come on by and read how fascinating she is.
