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!

Perhaps this week, the Help Desk campfire will not set the forest ablaze.
No more "deleted user"s, m'kay?

Tap, tap, is this thing on? Anybody up yet? I have only one alert from fan fiction this morning. Did we break it? Anybody know?          Fic rec https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10317577/1/Buried A superntural mystery and complete.

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!

The treasure trove is full of bountiful booty this week!

Please let the writers know you found them here on ADF!

Hangover Friendly by Lindseylin
When you lose the one thing you thought you never would, where do you go? How do you move on? Can love conquer all and pick up all of your broken pieces? When a woman meets a man who is ready to give her a new start, will she run and hide or decide to live? Canon Pairings. All Human.

After a tragic loss, Bella struggles to move forward with her life.  Edward helps her pick up the pieces.

From Vegas with love by cristinaN
A ruthless criminal detached from all emotions brought to Las Vegas on a job. A young woman trying to move on after escaping an abusive relationship. One drunken night brings them together. Will she be able to melt his frozen heart? Will he be able to show her the love she so desperately needs?

OK.  This one...is graphic.  Edward is not a nice guy. At. All.  Ruthless is a good word to describe him.  Violent and sexually explicit. Bella marries him in a drunk haze.  He refuses to give her an anullment.

My Driver by Edwardforever2
When Bella goes out for a night out on the town with her friends after losing her job she desperately tries to drown her sorrows in a bottle. When she finally gives up on drinking her problems away and decides to take a taxi home she finds herself sitting in the backseat staring into the most beautiful green eyes she has ever seen, only she's not in a taxi!

Down on her luck Bella has a rough night out.  Cute start.

Cadillac by ThisIsReallyHappening
He once told me I stared at the sun too long. "You keep looking, Dimples, and you're gonna miss the one thing that rises and shines

Dirty South Bella and a Caddy Driving Edward.  People are talking about this one.  I'm curious to see where it goes.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

The Art of Getting Fluffed by ChocolateSparrow
Like every professional, Edward Cullen needs the right tools for the job. But what happens when they just don't work anymore? Cue Bella Swan, an expert at being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The adventures of Bunny and Fluff. Short funny chapters rated M for a reason.

Adult film star Edward can't get "things" going unless he has Bella as inspiration.  Lots of fun.

Seventh and Pine by iambeagle
Eating food, drinking beer, and watching football are acceptable ways to spend your Thanksgiving Day. Wooing your niece's insanely attractive babysitter, however, is not. EPOV

This one made me laugh out loud at this clueless Edward.  My hubs yelled at me because he was trying to sleep when I was reading.  Too bad.

Thank you again for your feedback and support.  I love hearing what you guys are reading from the Fic Dive!

Wow! I don't post for six months and you light up the forest?

Come here you all! 

Everybody in this world needs a HUGEASS hug!!! HUGE!!!

Let me know if you're not a hugger, so I can shove my tongue down your throat instead.

Also, I don't know about you but after the day I've had, I need a hug and a kiss, possibly both, simultaeneously, okay I'm just getting ahead of myself here, you know what I mean. 

In case you're not a hug or a kiss person  (lol), just drop in, say Hi or tell me about your day if you wanna. 

(Rangers: Sorry I haven't taken permission to post this, I just wanted to hug my world. This forest is my world and you are too. Please don't delete this. I'll change the content if you wish me to.)

I had a great start to my morning as I was asked to participate in an author interview with Cloe over at Fanfic Fanatics.  A few questions really got me thinking!  Be sure to check it out as well as other favorite authors (some newly so) over on the group Facebook link.  You never know who you'll find granting an interview!

My personal interview can be found below for anyone interested.  Now, off to finish another chapter.  As promised, I won't keep anyone waiting (too long!)  ;-)

If you don't know what that is, check out Urban Dictionary's definition.

If you do, who is your dealer? Hulu? Netflix?

A, B and M's - Oh my.  Artwork, Banners and Manips.

Hi everyone, Kris Bliss (MyInfiniteBliss) posting her first campfire!  Why does that sound so... cool?  Yes, I'm stuck in summer mode and I'm currently in the mood for a s'mores.   Getting off track... Wondering if anyone can point me towards a manipulation/banner maker or group that takes requests.  I've started working on a new story, The Red Carpet (thank you again for the rec on here) and I need some art for it.  I'll be the first to say that I can't even correctly draw a stick figure let alone use a mouse and make the magic happen, it was a failed attempt that I tossed rather quickly.  Any info would be great and thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Monday Morning Hot Guy Campfire. What better way to start your week than a hot guy?

Fic Dive of the Month
July 2014

In some happy fun news...below are the fics from the Fic Dive that you voted as your Top 3 Favorites.

Designated Hitter by esmegrace
Orthopedic surgeon, Bella Swan encounters the last person she ever expected to see again on Valentine's Day no less. Can she remain professional with Major League pitcher, Edward Masen, given their pasts?

A Blazing Heart by Violet Bliss
After discovering a legacy about the family she never knew she had, Bella, the last of the Swan blood line is pulled into a world of magic and revenge by a gorgeous man who claims that she is his.

Two Blue Lines by Payton79
Bella, a good girl, was dumped by her long-time boyfriend. Edward, a young doctor, is feeling suffocated by his father's plans. Waking up next to a stranger is a shock for a good girl. Seeing the girl of your dreams run out on you the morning after sucks for a nice guy. What if two blue lines will bind the two together for life? What if they can't even remember how they came to be?

Congrats to our Top Three who will be in the vote for the Fic Dive of the Year 2015!

Did your favorite make the Top Three?
 

Now that we've all had our say and calmed down and eaten PIE, I'm bored.

And you have been chosen...for one task...ENTERTAIN ME. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.

-WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?

-WHAT DO YOU LOVE THE MOST ABOUT EACH OTHER? SIBLINGS, PARENTS, ETC.

-WHAT DO YOU HATE THE MOST?

CALL ME A STALKER, I DARE YOU. AND, I AM DRUNK. HAHAHAHAAHAHA

And I'll cry if I want to.... WAIT WHAT? NO I WILL NOT CRY.

I missed the ADF drama but I have had enough in my RL lately that my cup O'Bull poopy runneth other. To summarize, someone let me down, turned into a personal grudge against me, then took it out on my daughter, so momma bear came out and then the stressed caused a RA flare up that crippled me for a few days, got a shot, got better, more of the aforementioned drama and I am upset again. Trying to relax though because I cannot have another RA flare up. Seriously, I couldn't walk, move, open a door, brush my own hair.... like I was in a coma but I could sit up and talk.

So, it's my MFing Birthday (8/17) and I want it to rain down men! I think we all need some pick me ups, so let's see those hotties. It's FFA right?

Come to momma!!!!!

What things on the internet have made you laugh

Your favorite picture that happens to crack you up every time you see it

A gif that splits your sides with laughter

A video that leaves you wheezing?

Gimme your best internet funnies, I think we could all use some of that right now 

I have corrected (I think) the URLs.  I didn't do it earlier as I had hoped we would be able to get the .COM back, which isn't happening unless we pay thousands of dollars to the A-Holes filling the internetz with malware.

If anyone sees any alerts / urls etc which are still .COM let me know and give me an example in this campfire and I will do my best to correct it.

To those of you who feel there hasn't been an explanation as to what happend, I put an explanation up weeks ago that might have been missed by people who just found their way back: 

http://www.adifferentforest.net/Campfires/25848/

In other news, please get along ;) and spread the word of the new URL - traffic is still down considerably and we need to make sure the bills are paid.  Or visit more often ;)

YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT'S TIME FOR PIE.

I have no clue what happened, but pie fixes everything.

Tell me your favorite pie.
