Today is Halloween (in the states)-

Come on in and show us you in costumes or your kids

(if you're comfortable with that)

It's that time of the week again.

Discuss last night's episode.

There will be spoilers.

Hi Campers!  Today, show us some pictures of 

Who's your favorite designer?  What pair do you wear the most?  Most expensive shoe? Shoes you'll never get rid of?

I'm still figuring out my new laptop so I'll add a picture to the front page and add my pictures later today.  Also, I'm hiding my laptop from my parents since we had an impromptu lunch, lol and I'll be running around with my kids later today.  I'm 39 years old and hiding my laptop screen, lol.

Thank you to First Blush for the suggestion!

ETA: With all the Halloween excitment, I forgot to post next week's topic.

Next week, let's do something tarbecca suggested to me last week:

Show us pic of you in something formal. You can show us that ugly prom dress that you'd never wear today, or the one you still love. Show us you on your wedding day, or as maid of honor, or at a friend's wedding. Let's see how well you campers clean up. (Or let's see who can show us the best 'vintage' dress with a younger version of you.

We here at ADF are a friendly, helpful mean, scary bunch!
(Only because it's almost Halloween. Usually we're nice.)

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!

"More Than Rivals" by Mary Whitney, formerly known as "My Esteemed Colleague" by Betty Smith, is free to download from Amazon today.

When is a chance meeting not by chance? Maybe when you hide who you are.

The night before Lily Robles announces she’s running for Congress, she meets a handsome stranger at a coffee shop. Their chemistry is strong, and not wanting to scare him off, she avoids telling him she’s a local politician. She doesn't want the night to end—until she realizes he’s one of her opponents in the primary.

Jack Bengston can’t place where he’s seen Lily’s pretty face. He's taken with her, and he's sure the feeling is mutual—until she leaves him hanging and without her number.

When Jack and Lily meet again as candidates, California State Senator John Bengston and Sonoma County Supervisor Ursula Robles, they find an awkward romantic encounter is no way to kick-off a campaign, but how do you stop an attraction once it starts? There are times when politicians want to put their identities aside.

An old favourite: Plight Thee My Troth by Gingerandgreen
England, 1795. Lord Edward Masen and Miss Isabella Swan promise to love one another for all time; but will the harsh realities of life allow two souls from very different backgrounds to fulfil their vows? EPOV, AH

Like I Love You by UnexepectedlyMe
Edward is one of the most recognizable faces in the music industry and he enjoys every aspect of the rock star life. Bella is a fresh faced teacher that loves with all of her heart and enjoys the simple things in life. Edward and Bella have a past, but it will be up to Edward whether or not they have a future. What happens when he gives up and she moves on?

Bella is the beleaguered girlfriend of addict Edward.  So far hasn't drilled down into the ugliness of drug addiction, so not too angsty.

The Truth According to Tumblr by nikkipattinson
I was completely addicted to his blog. I woke to it every morning and went to bed with it every night. He was the man of my fantasies and then I asked him a mundane question…. BxE

Lemony One Shot. The concept of Edward's blog is hysterical. If someone as hot as this Ed posted one in RL, I’d be tempted to peek.

Mary, Marry, Merry Go Round by beegurl13
Bella's bored in cookie cutter Forks, with an Apple Pie obsessed father, Mary Kay lovin' mother, and Mary Jane addicted brother. Will she find the courage to escape & get a life? What happens when a tatted, pierced blast from her past sweeps her off her feet? Can Edward show her there's more than the Mary, Marry, Merry Go Round life she knows? B&E AH M - FAGE6 for Artemis Leaena

Short story based on the Kacey Musgraves song Merry Go Round. The song is depressing but this story is kinda funny. Mary's everywhere!!!

LARP and the Real Edward by LyricalKris
Live action role play. Edward had heard of it, but he'd never given it much thought until he promised his coworker Bella a favor he couldn't refuse. Little did he know she was anything but the mousy pushover he saw every day at work. Collab with EveryDayBella.

I am totally fascinated by the LARP world.

Flash Back Fic Dive:

I love stories where I learn new things.  These 2 gave insight into different areas that I found really interesting.

The Nightingale Journals by kimpy
Night nurse Bella Swan blogs about her experiences via "The Nightingale Journals." When Dr. Edward Cullen is named the PICU's newest Fellow, their attraction is undeniable, but can they remain professional? Epic banter and tensions result.

I love medical stuff, especially when I get someone like this writer who knows her stuff.

Power Ten by LauraLoo7
Edward Cullen is the stroke of the Brown University Crew Team. Bella Swan is his new, shy, clumsy sophomore coxswain. Can they learn to get along for his most important season, or will he toss her out of the boat before they reach the finish line?

I always really like this one, and was inspired by the Warwick Men's Crew Team to put it out here today.  Never knew anything about rowing until I read this.

Enjoy!  Thanks again for all of your support and feedback!

"Animate Me" by Ruth Clampett, previously discussed here and formerly known as... errr... "Animate Me" by abstract way, is free to download from Amazon today.

She seemed far beyond his reach…could love draw them together? For years shy animator Nathan has carried a torch for Brooke, the beautiful and dynamic Director of Development at their animation studio, even creating B-Girl, a comic-book heroine in her likeness. When a new project throws the two of them together, lovestruck Nathan finally seizes his moment – only to find Arnauld, head of the animation studio, claiming exclusive rights to Brooke’s affections. But Nathan, it turns out, is not giving up on his dreams so easily. With inspired determination, he sets out to be the super hero of wooing his girl. Threatened by his persistence, Arnauld plays dirty – only to spark an uprising at the studio that unleashes the sort of havoc only a building full of frustrated animators can create. While Nathan pulls out all the stops to win his B-girl, Brooke has to choose. Should she pursue the sparkling career that has taken her years to build…or follow her heart?

An old favourite: Summer Sessions by coldplaywhore
After graduating high school Bella Swan spends the summer getting to know Edward Cullen, the brooding older brother of her best friend Alice. They both start to wonder how things will progress when they head to college together in the fall.

So, Summit is facing the first November in forever without a new Twilight movie, hence the upcoming release of the Twilight Forever DVD Collection.   To rouse interest, they've been releasing clips.  

I will not buy this super-expensive, boxed set.  I will, however, watch the $h*t out of every single clip I can find online.  Because, even after all these years, some of this stuff still makes me smile like a giddy little lunatic.

The cutest video is here http://et.tv/1g0kdPD  (I had trouble getting it to embed).  Also, 

Are you planning to buy the new set?  Do you think this is Summit's last bid to milk the cash cow?  

Scary movies.

Your favorite.

Favorite scenes.

Go.

A friendly piece of Rangerly advice: Do NOT google image 'scary movies' unless you want to crap your pants.

Has anyone downloaded the new free OS Mavericks? I'm kinda wary about downloading any new operating systems and I know how glitchy Apple can be. They tend to hype every new thing up, when there's really nothing to be that excited about lol. 

I've got the Mountain Lion on my MacAir and I'm not sure if it's even worth the new upgrade. My professor told us he wish he didn't update..forgot why but I think it's because he hadn't been used to it.

Anyhoooo, have any of you guys upgraded? What are your opinions and reviews??
