Tonight my Buckeyes take on the Clemson Tigers in the Orange Bowl. It was another stellar season for THE Ohio State University, but we folded like a lawn chair in the B1G Championship. So, we're not playing for the national title, but the Orange Bowl ain't too shabby.

So, with sincere apologies for my adf wifey and love of my fanfiction life, I must post something to cheer them on.

GO BUCKEYES!!! BEAT CLEMSON!!!!

And, since I'm on a roll - how about the men's basketball team - No. 3 in the nation. Not to mention that I could eat Aaron Craft. With a spoon.

And, since I'm obviously out of control and can't stop myself, how about TBDBITL (The best damn band in the land)? Ranked #1 marching band in the NCAA - you better believe they're amazing. Check out some of their youtubes from this year - they will blow you away!!

The biggest question is, do you make a resolution? 

What are your resolutions?

Or are you the type that does a 1- 10 list? 

Honestly, I didn't really make a resolution this year because I always end up disappointing myself.

I did see someone on Facebook post a 1-10 and it had things on it like try 3 things that scare me, volunteer more, audition for a play. I think the list is the way to go, you could do a 1-5 or a top 3 or something. 

Hi everybody, I need help. A nice reader told me the last chapter of The Fleeting Moment has mistakes. I want to correct, but my problem is that I never learned to use ff net properly (My career started on Twilighted, where correcting is easy) I am not sure of what I should do. I understand (unless there have been changes I don't know of ) that I must : a) correct the chapter on my computer. b) upload the corrected chapter on Doc manager, c) substitute it to the posted one. Apparently I cannot correct the mistakes directly  on Doc manager, right?

It is a big hassle and I. am afraid to mess up, lose the chapter, lose the reviews etc. Can somebody tutor me step by step like instructing a not very bright child? Oh please.

Ok it is Free for all, but I want to give a rec. If you are not reading The Donor by Alchemilla you should. Despite the somewhat flippant summary it is not a crackfic, it is a very serious insight in Edward and Bella's relationship if BD never happened. Alchemilla is very dependable and will update frequently

Summary Novelist Isabella M. Swan is pushing thirty and seeking fertility treatment. Her vampire husband can't exactly contribute. Bella tests the limits of Edward's devotion when she plays off colleagues, fans, and her husband's trust in order to achieve her goal.

And, finally,  we are reaching the Epiphany, which in Rome is a kids' festivity - where an old woman. La Befana, brings  presents to good children and black coal to bad ones in the typical stocking. And here is my favorite kid, lost in wonder at the Montecarlo Acquarium

Well, I've been lurking around here for a few months and finally decided to post.  I was wondering if anyone could give me some good recs of fics where Edward gets bullied.  I have seen plenty where either Bella gets bullied or Edward is a bully (or even mostly the both together).  However, I have been searching for some where Edward gets bullied and haven't really come up with much.  Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

Unrelated Fic Rec:

Elemental by TallulahBelle

AU/AH: When the Swans return to their birthplace, Bella learns she is no ordinary teenager, and Forks is no ordinary town. Can she fulfill her destiny with the powerful Edward Cullen, or will the dark forces that threaten their families destroy them all?

Would anyone know whether this wonderful author plans to continue with her story, Infinite Visibility'?  

I know she had one of her stories pulled for content at FF.net, I have checked her WordPress blog but no luck.  Thanks for any info you can give.

So here we go:  I will ask my serious question first and in the comments you guys can come up with a comic serious question of your own to ask fellow campers.

Mine is, Carnage or Venom?

And Go!

Okay, so I finally got around mailing the promised Christmas cards and chocolates - on New Year's Eve. (Hanging down my head in shame.)

I have had a "fluctuating" cold since late November, I am a procastinator par excellence, and I also do suffer from the symptom of not being able to say "this is good enough, it will only get marginally better if I add this or that or if I stand on my head in between". (And then I feel inadequate when I look at my horrible handwriting or tacky printed texts that come out of nowhere or unsuitable wrapping or...)

Especially as all the cards that I got (plus some extras, THANK YOU, you know who you are!) are sooo nice, they are timely, they are funny (and they are all handwritten...) and they make my day every time I receive one.

Enough of listing my social shortages, for the time being, anyway.

A year ago, I swear, I had a discussion in the forest about a German (quintessentially) Christmas candy: marzipan with chocolate core and chocolate coating. I promised to find out if I could arrange some via my contacts in Germany and then forward id. Well, the process did start, and my contact did get the "logs" - and before she could send them to me, her dog made a claim on them. (I have got pictures about it somewhere, I swear.)

Anyway, this year (well, last year, I should say) I found some candy fitting the description in Lidl, here in Finland. But I just cannot find any messages, discussions, addresses, tags, notes or anything relating to this.

Have I been dreaming? If not, could the person please come forward or at least pm me, so I could send the candy? Or if I have imagined this thing, just anybody -- 2-3 first to come, first to be served. (The "original" person included.)

Happy New Year, Campers!

Today, we are going

Travelling!

Make a list of five places that you have on your 'bucket list' to travel to some day. 

Any camper who has travelled to that location can then post pictures of that place.  If you've already travelled to one of your bucket list locations, please post pictures for us.  Or, if other campers have travelled there but don't have pictures to share, please share your experiences or words or favorite part of that visit. 

In addition, if you LIVE in someone's chosen travel destination, please post pictures for us or tell us about the best local watering holes.

ETA For next week:

 A scavenger hunt: centered around your interpretation of "New", maybe something new you'd like to accomplish this year, something new from 2013 that you'd like to bring into the new year, something that represents one of your New Year's resolutions.

In order to make it a 'scavenger hunt", let's look for four things:

1) Old

2) New

3) Borrowed

4) Blue

It doesn't have to be wedding related, I just thought it would be easy to remember as we snap pictures and it included 'new' for the new year. :D

As always, please feel free to participate or comment even if you don't have pictures to share.  Also, I've kept lists of previous suggestions but if I'm being too slow, please feel free to remind me or your suggestion so we can get to it sooner rather than later.

That photo is a picture of Macchu Picchu in Peru, in case you don't know.  And now I have travel to Macchu Piccu trees--yahoo, those are easy to feed.

We here at ADF are a friendly, helpful bunch!

Come in and wish our Campers a very Special Birthday Month

It's not too late to join our fun-if you haven't given me your birthday as of yet,PM me-

Link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4947103/1/Femme-Docs-and-Kevlar-Knights

I was wondering if anybody had the complete twilight fic of Desiderata by Kimpy0464. I would love you so much if you PM for the link or PDF

I was reading Femme Docs and Kevlar Knights by A Cullen Wannabe and something about her Bella reminded me of the Bella in the Kimpy0464 story. 

I have the pdf if anyone wants it. I highly recommend it and it has many chapters to it so it can be something good to read on a long weekend

Going back to work full time has really put a cramp into my reading and online activities (God almighty I hope no one ever views my ipad Google history). But, I looked on my Goodreads and I've read 48 actual books this year. I would love to hit 50 as an even number but seeing as today is the 31st, I'm going to settle at 48. 

Here are some of my favs and such that I read this year.  What are yours?

First book read in 2013:  The Casual Vacancy (meh)
Last book read in 2013:  Shine Not Burn (cute)
First book planned for 2014:  Driven? or Pushing the Limits?

The Best of the Bunch --

Best ending:  The Sea of Tranquility
Funniest:  Losing It
Sexiest:  On Dublin Street
Saddest:  The Fault In Our Stars
Crazy, Twisty Goodness:  Thief (Love Me With Lies #3)
Best YA:  Hopeless

Other Categories --
