OK, so yesterday I was all
"The world doesn't need another Bruce Jenner!!"

and

But today ...
(peek inside)

(I tried to abstain, but Juniper Jenny was jonesing for more SAMMF
and she cheers me up with adorable pictures of her
babies, so I can't deny her.  I might also be lying about 
the SAMMF part.  The 2nd part is true, though.)

Let's talk about Guardians of the Galaxy. Has anyone seen the movie yet? If so, what did you think? I've heard great things about it. It seems Marvel just gets better and better as they go.

Talk to me, folks :)

Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures

Lots of loot this week.

Don't forget to tell 'em ADF sent you!
And don't forget to vote for the Fic Dive of the Month for July!

Flavor of the Month by cheshireSorrows
All Human. Take an ill-fated one night stand between a romantic cynic and a stuffy divorce lawyer; add their opposing views on life and a dash of their attraction before stirring thoroughly with ice-cream and social ineptitude, and then hope it doesn't completely screw up their lives.

This will be a fun romp with and uptight Edward and a somewhat filterless Bella.

Something's Gotta Give by ericastwilight
Two troubled pasts that took different paths. She takes life by the horns and tries to live it to the fullest. He hides away on the mountaintop, rough all around. What happens when they meet? What happens when their worlds' collide? Ruggeddom Contest Third Place Winner in the Public Vote!

Lots of secrets yet to be revealed in this one.  I'm excited to find out what they are!

Lessons of a MPW by Christie Hart
Four guys. Four babies on the way. One house, and one very mad, pregnant woman.

This is a fun premise.  Pregnant Bella shows up on her friend Emmett's doorstep.  She camps out with him and his 3 roommates.  A little choppy but I think it will be a fun read.

Forever by kitkat681
Raising four little girls alone is hard. Dating is even harder. A tale of sacrifice and true love. Based on a true story.

Sweet little story based on the writer's true life romance.  Be sure to congratulate her on her wedding this past weekend to her "Edward!"

The Bucket List by ashleigh22
Aspiring novelist Bella Swan has her world thrown into turmoil when she is diagnosed with cancer. A hot nurse who is proving to be irresistible despite Bella's desperation to draw boundaries, mixed with four crazy friends and an unusual bucket list can only mean one thing; trouble with a capital T. Rated M for Lemons!

I feel like this one will be a total heartwrencher!  This Edward is so sweet it hurts!  Crossing my fingers for a HEA, but you never know....

FLASHBACK FIC DIVE:

Fire and Ice by Ancora Imparo 83
All human.Edward is a cold career Doctor whose personal life is non existent. Bella is the fun and flighty new attending who turns his world upside down. Edward struggles with accepting change...can he?

ETA: Thanks to queenbee83 I just realized that this wasn't complete.  :(  I guess that's why I couldn't remember how it ended.  Sorry All.

Bold Gestures by SexyLexiCullen
"Young women can act silly, but men... Men make bold gestures." I opened the trunk for Bella. The man inside ended up on the pavement. Bella's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth. GangsterWard. *1958.*

As with all of Lexi's stories, good drama, good lemons, lots of Gangster Edward!

Thank you all for your continued support for this campfire! Your comments and feedback mean the world to me.
 

Who's the hottest looks-wise? (as portrayed by the actors) Let's rate them 1-3 because that's how shallow I am and with obviously nothing better to do

In order of appearance:

1. Rob's Edward

Chose the pic Camilla liked :) Def. gave me a young Christian Slater vibe in the 'wouldn't be like drinking your blood for istance' scene

When I first saw the movie's trailer I kept thinking how much more appealing it would have been if the vampire looked better than the very pretty girl. And I didn't even know he was supposed to be gorgeous, while the girl was supposed to be average. But then the ff authors brainwashed me Rob, esp. his jaw and his back muscles, won me over.

2. Four

gif 'cause I'm a bit biased ok?? Yep, beat Robward for me. Face and body (but not jaw)

3. Sam's Jamie

The talk of the moment rn, yet I tried really really hard to find a picture of him that I liked. Also, he's a bit too pumped up for my taste. Thus, my least favorite. I wonder if it's a cultural issue, the stereotypes we have for the ideal man. What is it with  female authors with dark hair presenting their romantic heroes as red haired? Edward and Jamie (Jamie even more I think). Is it highly valued e.g. in the US?

So, who do you think is the hottest?

Hi,

I'm looking for a copy of The Diva Diaires and the original Boycotts & Barflies. Any help would so very much appreciated. I never got to finish either before they were pulled. 

Thank you so very much!!!!

Hugs to anyone that can help :) : )

I've decided to finally branch out into other fic fandoms and I am looking for some guidance.  I have only ever read Twilight fanfics and a few from Blood and Chocolate.  I would really like to read some fics from The Mortal Instruments,Divergent and Kelley Armstrong's Darkest Powers series.  Any and all suggestions are most welcome!

Here's a fic I"m really enjoying:

How to Tame a Player by Mystique-Jeweled

Masen University. Home to the nation's best science program, the western seaboard's largest electron microscope, and the world's biggest womanizer. I'm Bella Swan, and this is where I learned How To Tame A Player. Short chapters, AH.

13 years ago today, despite my better judgement, i married my baby daddy.  it sure has turned out better than i thought it would.

i didn't look like that.  the dude i married certainly looked nothing like that.  aren't they cute?

i'd post some pics of my wedding, but 13 years ago there wasn't any digital photos.  and i'm too lazy to have scanned them into my computer, even though i've had 13 years to do it.

so, in honor of my marriage's birthday, tell me about your spouse/significant other.  how'd you meet?  was it lust love at first sight?  how'd the proposal go?  what about the wedding?  share some pics if you want.

the story of dmd and hh will be in the comments.

permission for this campfire was given to me by janco's other half.

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

*  When All Your Best Work  *

Seems to End Up on the Floor...
or Even Up Against the Door

This week's campfire is dedicated to anyone else overwhelmed
by the sheer magnitude of what you're asked to handle in a brief
amount of office hours

Who said size doesn't matter?

If you've got no time during the day for foreplay or wordsay,
sometimes it best seems
to just grab those crumpled & rejected dreams
and spread them back out for another quickie look-see.

So, fanatic writers: this is your invitation to nail even your smallest teasers

from your heathen floor to our wooden door.

If you've got Ninety-Five Theses Problems
but your wit & nerve ain't one,
incite your followers here by posting
partially perfected preview prose you're hosting
so that we may peruse, indulge your muse and pen some reviews.

Remember to reform our reading litany with a live link to your think.

*Nota bene: believe me when I say that you do not want to do a web image search for "office quickie." 

I have to write a 15-page analysis on a Play Therapy case study today.  Technically, I could have written it at any time during the past 8 weeks, but I didn't.  And it's due tomorrow.  I can mostly make it up in my head, which is the easy part.  But I have to tie it in with voodoo certain theories, which is the tricky part, because most of that is in the book.  A book that I may or may not have bothered to read.  What?  I don't intend to ever use play therapy, ok?
 

Help a gal out and give me something fun to look forward to later by answering the following questions.  Please?

1) Do you have a study playlist?  If so, what's the best song on that list?

2) What is your middle name?

3) What's your favorite meal to prepare?  (Recipes are always nice)

4) What makes you happy?  Like, really really happy?!

5) What's the best decision you ever made?

6) What is your favorite amusement park ride of all time?

7) What was the last thing you bought and why did you buy it?

8) Show our fellow camper, Camilla, some love and post a picture of something that might make her smile.  She recently lost someone very, very important to her.
