James Earl Jones is coming back for the new Star Wars movies.

Also, the Pied Piper has been cast for The Flash. Speaking of which, did anyone besides me watch the other night? Thoughts?

Good morning, ADF campers! 

This morning's Bondfire was inspired by the lady at Trader Joe's yesterday who was really ticked off at me for some reason.  I was trying to figure out why she was so mad at me. 

She was walking down an aisle and I passed her, so I said 'excuse me' so as not to be rude. She made a ticked off sound.

Then on my way out, I passed her again and said 'excuse me' and again she made a ticked off sound.

Should I not have passed her?  She was just standing there.  Mind you, if you know me at all, either through ADF or IRL, you'd know that I'm a very cheerful, smiling shopper at TJs and smile at all the kids because I love kids.

Why was this lady so mad at me?

Tell me about your stories.  Do you have a road rage incident?  Do you let others go first even if you got there first at a four way stop? 

Do you rush bicyclists or pedestrians?

What about names?  When you were a child, did you call adults by their first name?  Or Mr/Mrs/Dr so and so? 

My friend (who lived in the UK a number of years) and I were debating these proper name social niceties the other day.

Proust Questionnaire questions:

1) What I hate the most.
2) World history characters I hate the most
3) The military event I admire the most
4) The reform I admire the most
5) The natural talent I'd like to be gifted with

Next week we can post our favorite/our worst costume pics as a Bondfire/Picture This Crossover.  Or pics we've found on the web and admired.  We can also share ghost stories.  

We here at ADF are a friendly, helpful bunch!

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 read a bunch this week, and these are the only two that really jumped out at me.  I went for quality over quantity! Threw in a few extra flashbacks.

Don't forget to vote for your Favorite September Fic Dive Stories.
Voting will stay open until 10/15.
Vote Here!

Please don't forget to let the writers know where you found them.  I would imagine it would be annoying having an influx of readers but not know why.

Metamorphosis by perpetually
"She falls into hypnosis. He falls into heaven." Two worlds clash like the collision of dark nebulae in the galaxy. Starry kisses, dark matter, problem to the heart.

Bella is trapped in her high society world, except for when she visits her Grandmother in the summertime.  Her last summer before college, she meets Edward. 

Fifty Days to Heaven by RRose
When Edward Cullen's soul separates from his body after a car accident, he realizes it's going to take a lot more than jumping back into it to get his life back. Fifty days should be plenty of time to find three tears of pure love, right? Based on 49 Days and Pure Love.

Great start on this one.  Edward has to posess Jasper to get back to his own life.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

A Soft Place to Land by btwnthestacks
Single father Edward Cullen and his daughter are looking for a soft place to land. In an attempt to help her, he turns to a program at the local library. While two furry friends help his child find her confidence, their owner will mend his broken heart.

Dadward. I get sucked in every time.

Bad Blood by LadyExcalibur2010
Edward Cullen was a man who liked order. He arranged his life into neat little segments, exercising rigid control in all areas of his existence. Then one day, all of it was brought tumbling down by one simple question.

Dark.  Edward's focus in life is not to be his father's son.  Bella blows his focus out of the water.

The Education of Professor Cullen by sheviking
College professor Edward Cullen is thoroughly annoyed by his student Ms. Swan. Everything about her bothers him, and he longs for the semester to be over. But what happens when he meets her one night when they aren't in school?

Serious case of opposites attracting.  Bella schools him.

Work in Progress by araeo
Bella, Edward and the usual suspects are adults living in Seattle. They hit it off after a klutzy accident and E awakens B's ovaries, who never hesitate to voice their pervy opinion in B's head. Rated M for language and lemons.

One of my favorite Emmett nicknames of all time comes from this story.  "Meat Sweats"

Thanks for your support!  Let me know what you're reading!

Also, I've been trying to get any Fic Dive stories into the What the Fic campfire, but am not always able to post the links there. So if you see any that update, please don't hesitate to get them up there.  Thanks! 

I hope this is allowed... I don't really post here anymore, but I do read a lot of posts.

I've just finished reading Wake by Abria Mattina (Previousl Dead On My Feet by Cesca Marie), basically, I need to be making some of these soups, and I never saved any of her recipes when the fic was being published. 

I'm reaching out to see if anyone here has copies of the soup recipes. I'm really hoping you do :)

To make this interactive, have you ever made anything from a fic? or a book. A recipe perhaps, a knitting pattern? Also...show and tell won't you :)

As a rec (because I don't read fanfiction anymore, it's an actual book): The Whispiering Skull - Jonathan Stroud; 2nd in the Lockwood and Co series about teenage psychic ghost hunters. Excellent!

Do you write fan fiction?
