Don't worry, I still have a topic lined up for Comicamp on Thursday! But right now I need to let my inner fangirl out and squeal like a little girl.

Remember when I said Ben Affleck is Batman?

Well look...

Hm, he looks beefy compared to the last Batman. So are you excited yet? Maybe a little? It could be bad...but it could be verra verra good. (While your at it look up antarctic sea spiders on google and witness facehuggers from Alien)

To make this interactive: Do you think Zach Snyder can pull a good movie off for once? Or is he doomed to just "eh it's okay" for the rest of his movie career?

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!

Found a few little treasures this week!

Don't forget to tell 'em you found 'em here on ADF!

Volunteer 13 by Edward's Eternal
A favour for a friend. A few minutes of her life. Kiss a stranger and see what happens. "Easy," Rose insisted. "Kiss him and walk away." Will it be that simple?

Based on the Kissing Strangers Video concept.  Bella has steamy kiss with a familiar stranger.  They have a connection and want more.  I liked it.  It was sweet.

Flightless Bird by ejjcullen
Bella and Charlie Swan change their identities with each new zip code. But will the town of Forks bring her the safety she always needed or will the past she is running from finally catch up to her? Rated M for language and future lemons.

Pretty good mystery going on here. Bella and Charlie on the run. A few typos, but I like it.

Balançoire by gemini13me
"Perfect balance is like a razor's edge; it can be found only in the Self." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

Bella is a new corps dancer. E is the artistic director that has unexpectedly thrust B into a lead role, much to her dismay. She’s struggling with her new position in the company and with her minimal interactions with Edward. I have a dance background so the terminology is somewhat familiar to me, but she does add vocabulary definitions at the end of each chapter.  I'd also like to see Edward in tights.
 

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Parachute by KitsuShel
After finding an abandoned child on the streets of Seattle, Bella Swan raises him for five years as her own. What happens to their life when his biological family is found? AH

Life in B Minor by jaxington
All Human. Edward and Bella can't seem to get it together. Through music, love, babies, and angst they may finally figure it out.

The Longest Summer by lexiecullen17
Bella wants Edward...the only problem is, he's a counselor at her summer camp. And although Bella has always been one of Edward's favorite campers, that's all she'll ever be to him...right? When Bella returns as a counselor, can she change his mind? AH.
ETA: I love Tanya and Jake in this one....

These are all long, but worth the read.

Happy Reading everyone!  Let me know what you love and what you've given up on...I know there are a few out there that I've flounced on.

Don't forget to keep track of your favorite Fic Dive stories, so we can vote on Fic Dive of the Year in a few weeks!

Lastly, THANK YOU for all of your support for this Campfire!  I appreciate it!
 

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

Do You Write Fanfiction ?

Give us a peek !

Share a teaser, snippet, picture, song, or inspiration

 ~don't forget to include a link ~

Mr. Skin, if you're not familiar with the site, is the place that catalogs all female nude scenes in films and television and the site has been up and running since 1999.

Male nude scenes, at least in America, were few and far between, but has become so rampant in the last few years (thank you HBO/Cinemax) that the Mr. Skin creators have finally launched the male equivalent, wonderfully titled Mr. Man.

It's a wonderful glorious thing

Needless to say, NSFW and good for um, 'research' purposes.

To make it interactive, are you a fan of full monty scenes?

I tend to find 'resting penis' to be boring, since its just, you know, hanging there.

So I have an idea for a book. But I'm not sure it's an interesting concept. Basically, what would you do if all the world's books had their words just erased from existence? Kind of like...Neverending Story only the opposite happens.

It's an interesting thought to me, but I'm afraid it might be overdone in the sense that it kind of sounds...dystopian. And I don't wanna be another "do what everyone else is doing" author.

What do you think campers - what do you think is the most overdone YA plot? Or plot in general. But this is limited to books, not fanfic. Does it sound interesting to you or does it sound like everything else?

If it's not still FFA and this CF is not appropriate, I'm sorry! I don't know all of the rules of posting a Campfire.

Anyways!

I have an idea for a fic that I'd like to write. I can see the scenes in my head and how they play out. I can also hear the dialogue in my head, but whenever I sit down to write it all out, nada. It's like I can't figure out how to put pen to paper.

Any advice?

For your time: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9690778/1/COUNSEL

COUNSEL: Known as Counsel to his friends, bastard or worse to his enemies, Edward is set to prosecute a case against, Jasper, a college friend and politician. Jasper engages another friend, James as his lawyer. Isabella, a key witness, becomes involved with all three. Can she navigate a path between these ruthless men, and will the mens' friendship survive? Rated: M. Drama/Angst HEA

To all those who celebrate (and those who don't), enjoy the day!

We are on our way to Peoria IL for river walks and kite flying
[because, OBVIOUSLY, Peoria is where you go when you're 
celebrating something, ;-) ]

(Pssst ... GSB ... thanks for the heads up!)

How are YOU spending this day?

I miss TLYDF. I can't help it, I do. But one of the things I really miss was when wtvoc would talk to Jasper Whitlock. Mainly because I got to look into his mind more.

Aw, look how cute he is. Ahem* Anyway, who's your favorite Cullen? Why? What would you do if you got to meet one? Do you miss wtvoc talking to our dear Jazz as much as me?

ETA: What do you miss most about other fansites - not limited to just Twilight btw.

Will you watch it? Opinions on songs, outfits, stage, facial hair, this is the cf for it all.

I've only watched the second semifinal, but I'm kinda hoping Slovenia will win because she looked like the witch from Wicked (gothic dress unf). Also, if it takes place in a country I'd like to visit and the air ticket isn't too expensive I may go with my kids and mother next year the husband will come but want to kill himself.

ETA: This cf is pinned so it stays on top all the time?? I thought Eurovision was pretty much known only in Europe (Australia too?) so I'm kinda curious to see who dunnit :)

Welcome to the

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?

So, this picture exists.  

Where to look ... his teeth?  His hands?   That 50 Shades of Grey thing he's wearing?

WHAT IS THAT THING?  Has he been skydiving?  Is that some kind of whole-body chastity belt?

Give me your best guess or, even better, caption this picture.
