I got up at 4:30am on a Sunday morning to watch the new Doctor....

...and it was so worth it!!!

What did you think of Peter Capaldi's Doctor?   Did you have a Doctor Who party?  Are you seeing it at the cinema??

Remember, no one likes accidental spoilers, so please white out anything spoilerish, thanks Sweeties!

Not sure how many of you who are interested in OL are also on the lj site, so I thought I should post this here too. There's an episode coming up tonight for those of you lucky enough to be living in a country where you can alctually watch it tonight, legally and while eating pecan pie so you can also use this cf for commenting. Spoil away if you want, in white. If anything it'll help those of us that can't understand much of what they're saying.

So, I've found the script for the first episode if anyone's interested. If there's anyone who can find the script for the second episode please let me know. Reminds me of all those times the Twi movies scripts would 'leak' and all of us would be dismissing them as fake, because 'they can't be that stupid, can then?'. Huh.

Now, OL's not like that. I'm not a fan of the leading actress (yet?) and would it hurt them to have the romantic hero wash a bit lie if you must,  but the difference in professionalism compared to the Twilight movies is just huge, on and off screen. However, I still can't get into the books at all (too much historical detail, again, personal hygiene issues, and what is it with SPOILER (maybe) in white: Jamie not wanting to know EVERYTHING about the future?? I was looking forward to Claire describing technological and societal advancement. Maybe it was there but I missed it?? Anyone else bothered by that??)

And then this beautiful scene came, in Episode 2. I like his acting. And he looks verra appealing here (my gay friends insist they get a vibe but idk). And a man living in such a male dominated society saying a girl with a spirit is always a good thing? Bring it on

Judging from what he knows should be visible under the kilt, no inferiority complex issues there

More gifs are more than welcome js

ETA: OL may be running for SIX years!!

It's FFA, right?

This campfire is brought to you in the hope that it brings some light relief... That's the aim anyway, so I hope nobody feels like their toes are being trodden on! :)

As I flicked through my local newspaper last week, I came across some photos of a recent debs ball (prom, for those of you who live Stateside :) ), and I was struck to wondering whether some people ever look in the mirror before they leave their house. Some of the dresses were definitely leaning toward the "Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" end of the scale...

Now, perhaps I'm not one to judge. My own dress was something akin to this, but long...

Some might say it's boring, but it could have been this...

Or even this...

So, your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is this - trawl the internet for the worst prom/debs dresses you can find, and give us all a giggle...

By the sounds of things, we could do with one around here! :)

Feed Your E-Reader

(mostly) weekly campfire

Please post all the fabulous deals you've found this week. And if you pick up a book from a comment inside, please let your fellow campers know you did.

This CF is open to all genres and all book deals.

And don't forget to feed the trees, yeah?

Last week we discussed bad guys that went good, so this week is about the opposite. Good guys who went bad.

Do you have a favorite? If so, tell us who they are and why.

TALK TO ME!!

Good Morning, Campers!

My sister shared this book concept with me:

Six Word Memoirs.

I love the idea, even though I'm definitely not a minimalist, in words or life.

There are some great ones, and mediocre ones.  Supposedly the series stemmed from the legend that Hemingway penned this when challenged with the six word memoir:

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

Today, let's share our own six word stories.  I say 'stories' because that makes more sense to me than 'memoir'.

Some other good ones (from the writer version above):

-from Vanity Fair's review:  "Will thrill minimalists and inspire maximalists."

- from Mhammad Fataherji: "Dreamed of endless love.  Awoke alone."

-from Shannon Barnes: "Suburban Christian child.  Hippie Agnostic adult."

-from Amy Sedaris: "Mushrooms. Clowns. Wands. Five. Wig. Thatched."

-from Michelle Pinchev: "She walked barefoot in wet cement."

Are you inspired yet?  Tell us your story, your week, your random or not so random grouping of six words for today.

BTW, my girls are literally (in the true sense of the word) drawing pictures of forest fires right now.  Random but sort of coincident.  I'm not sure why.

I thought this deserved its own Camp Fire so it doesn't get lost..

Rob, accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and it was hilarious...

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.)
