Our weekly picture campfire this week is about

COLLECTIONS!

No, not that kind of collection.  If you're here at ADF, we know you likely own these books.  Instead, share with us something unique you collect that means something to you. (though you can share your Twilight memorabilia) 

Come inside the CF and learn something new about your fellow campers! 

Since I don't have an official banner for this CF yet, I'll share a pic from Fall Fashion week collections:

(if anyone would like to make me a banner, please PM me)

Even if you don't have pictures to share, come join in the fun inside.  Or come vote on next week's theme:

1) mini-ADITL (A Day in the Life)--Show us a day in your life in five pictures or less

2) Seasons

or 3) Inside your refrigerator

Thanks to wtvoc and rote_kirsch for this week's theme.

ETA: It looks like we'll be checking out each other's REFRIGERATORS next week.  Let's see what we can guess about each other from the contents.  Thank you to firstblush for suggesting the idea.

We here at ADF are a friendly, helpful bunch!

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!

Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures

This week I read 12 and found 6!

Don't forget to read, review and send them our ADF love!

Against the Grain by by xSuchSweetNothingx
Everyone is half of a whole, and on the day of your sixteenth birthday you find your other half, and your life changes dramatically after that. I would love to give the genius that came up with that idea a piece of my mind . . . AU. Edward x Bella. High School. Mature Language and eventual Lemons. Drabble.

Completed Drabble. Unique view of imprinting. No wolves or vamps or any of our other supernatural friends.

Tatted Hips and Wicked Lips by Hoodfabulous
Bella Swan can't stand Edward Cullen. She hates his tattoos, his piercings, and his stupid band. But mostly she hates how badly she wants him. He hates her too...or so she thinks. Will one iPhone fail change everything? My entry to LOL Text Message Contest. Won: Public Vote, Best Edward, Hottest Text Fail, Host's Choice- CaliGirlMon, Judges' Pick- SDFanFicChic

One Shot and it’s continuation. We start with the OS and then backtrack to when B & E meet and go from there.

Dancing on a Tightrope by Angie947
This is what happens when superstar Edward Cullen finds out he has a 15 year-old rebellious daughter. Musicianward. ExB

I’m always a fan of when our Twi-characters are written in different roles. In this one, Bella is a mom dealing with a hot headed daughter Rose, who is a Daddy surprise for Edward.

Hope on the Horizon by AngelycDevil
In ten minutes, you can run a mile, make Mac n' Cheese, and get a manicure. In ten minutes, you can vacuum your room, get takeout from McDonald's, and sign up for yoga lessons. In ten minutes, your life can change forever.

Insightful look into the life of folks living in the path of Oklahoma tornadoes. E x B love thrown in.

Investing in Love by AngelSandusky
What happens when multi-billionaire, SpyTech CEO Edward Cullen meets waitress and modern dancer Bella Swan? When Edward proposes an unconventional business deal to Bella, will it lead to an investment of the heart, or will someone from Bella's past cause a meteor shower of complications? Will the planets ever align for these two?

Possessive cocky Edward. Been burned before Bella.

Particle Collisions by joyousnerd
Bella has given up on love, choosing to be content with her quiet, albeit boring life. She never imagined how much that life would change when Edward Masen moved into the classroom across the hall. Watch out world, there's a new nerd in town!

Loving this nerdfest!

Flashback Fic Dive:

The Screamers by KiyaRaven
Street kid. Rockstar. Worlds apart and yet so similar. Sometimes fate throws people together for a reason, and sometimes two people that rub each other the wrong way make the best sparks. All Human **WARNING: MOSTLY HUMOR BUT ALSO CONTAINS ANGST & DARK THEMES**

OMG. I laughed out loud so many times throughout this whole story. Generally, I hate when real life people are written in to fan fic, but I have to say that Robert Pattinson in the story is my favorite character. One of the few fics I’ve read twice. Goes from hysterically funny, to angsty and dark, but blends the two together very well.  I might just read it again!

HAPPY READING! Your feedback is always appreciated!
 

watch sleepy hollow tonight on fox at 9

thank you for your time

ps- ichahottie there is mr bingley from lost in austen

Would someone be willing to cover this week's ComiCamp for me? I have been having health problems and they are (literally) dragging me off to the psych ward.

Please let me know in the comments, and I will copy/paste the banner for you there.

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 fan fiction?

Give us a little peek!

FF has spoiled me- there are some FANTASTIC authors offering their blood, sweat, and tears for free. But I foolishly followed a rec here for the Black Daggar Brotherhood and was hooked on books that had characters not named Edward or Bella. 

I know we already have a "feed my e-reader" campfire but I would love to have more recs of original fiction at any price. So help me spend my latte budget on my kindle instead.

My recs for you:

I’ve plowed through the whole BDB series so far and loved them (some more than others but I’m a nosy bitch and love to know the inside scoop on everyone, even if after the fact I’m just a tiny bit ~meh~). I went looking for more vampire stories. I didn’t get past the first chapter of a couple until I stumbled on this gem by Elizabeth Hunter (and I just noticed the kindle version is free).

http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Fire-Elemental-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B005VTVE0U/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1379201924&sr=1-2&keywords=elizabeth+hunter+elemental+mysteries

It’s def. not as raunchy as BDB so if that’s what floats your boat, this might not be the series for you. But if you like a strong female character, an intriguing mystery and exotic locations, I highly recommend it. I’m on the last book of the 4 book series and I’m rationing it like it’s the last bag of skittles in the universe. I will be very sad to see it end.

And if you prefer your characters more of the human variety I have another recent find in honor of football season. I’m not sure anyone does football better than my fellow ACC fan nolebucgrl or jayhawkbb but this was a fun, easy read that combines football with a sweet southern boy.

(I have to say that I hate pasting romance novel images bcs they can be sooooo freaking cheesy)

http://www.amazon.com/Scrimmage-South-Crimson-Romance-ebook/dp/B00CJJWSWI/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1379281128&sr=1-1&keywords=scrimmage+gone+south

purple edit: dude, you had a tag for this! 
 

I am so sorry. I was fic diving into the favorites of my fav fics'authors and I found a promising one. I started reading but I made a mistake and erased it and I had not saved the link. and can't find the faves list I was examining. Lost|

The summary said that Edward, a travelling  businessman, found a room an a resort/pension whatever  managed by the Swans, but weird things happened. It was marked AU and complete

In the first chapter (Bella's POV) we learn that Renee is rather out of her head. She left Charlie but fortunately she came back to him when Bella was 13.  Now they are managing this pension. At least Renee thinks she is, but all the work has to be done by Bella.

Rings a bell?

even if it is free for all I want to post a rec. This story is very good and due to the fact that she posts 3 chapters together everytime it has not enough reviews

CSI Seattle WA  by Michaelmas54,

Summary: A chance discovery in the forest near Forks starts a series of events
that could prove cataclysmic, not just for the people involved. A story of
love, passion, murder, mystery and horror and rated M mainly for the
passionate bits. A story of about 89,000 words that will hopefully keep you on
the edge of your sofa! Updated in 'episodes' of 3 chapters at a time, every
Saturday.

FOUND IT. SEE INSIDE FOR DETAILS

I think the Rob-loving campers here have been admirably restrained, making Rob-comments discreetly nestled in the daily gossip campfire despite the Dior deluge.  I am sure the Rob-meh-whatever campers have enjoyed the break..

BUT IT'S FREE FOR ALL WEEKEND AND SO HERE HE IS, MY BEARDY BABE-A-LICIOUS MANHUNK.

New picture:

To make this interactive:  Do you like men with beards?  Soul-patch, neatly-sculpted, or wild loose and free?  Or no way, no thanks?  

My husband has never grown a moustache or beard, so I don't even know if it hurts when being kissed by a bearded guy.  Scruff hurts a bit, but beards are softer, true?

Happy football weekend!

Who ya watching this weekend? Who ya cheering for and against? Did all your teams lose last week like mine did?

For my boys:

For my men:
