Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures

Each week I will brave the treacherous waters of Fan Fiction for untold treasure. Below are the trinkets I've found this week!

Excellent haul this week!

Read 15 found 8.

Keep the feedback coming on these and past fic dives. I love hearing what you liked or didn't like. Even if it's a "What were you thinking?" :)

Don't forget to Read, Review and tell them ADF sent you!

Swan Lakes Ranch by JRFaab

When Edward's faith is continuously tested, will a move to a ranch in Texas help restore his belief in love once again? Will a little girl who has had to overcome many obstacles, bring two broken hearts together? EPOV/BPOV

Writing is a bit formal. The Cullens have a bit of melodramatic air to them, but I'm hoping that will shake off soon.
 

Under My Nose by gabby1017

Edward Cullen turns thirty in six months and wants to leave the dating scene to find his "Miss Right". Leaving his restaurant behind, he drives a carriage in the French Quarter of New Orleans searching for true love. Who is it? And, will he know when he finds her? Or will she be right under his nose?

I like a spirited Bella. Fun original characters brought in are always a bonus.

Nirvana Next Door by Boom-Boom Jones

"I am going to make myself known to Bella Swan and rock her sexy little world." Edward Masen is seventeen, restricted to four walls, and hormonally stimulated. What else is there besides Bella Swan, the new star of his nightly dreams? -Entry for the Make Me Laugh Contest. AH, Rated M for language.

One-shot. Cute and funny story. Would love to see this continued.

All My Life by Canadoll

When two people meet at an airport and sparks fly, how far will they go to be together when they live on different continents? Australian Edward and Canadian Bella struggle to overcome major obstacles to find the love only they can provide each other. All human - Canon Couples - M for Language and Lemons.

Took a chapter or two for this to grow on me. Aussie Edward. Slooow burn. Really liked it once the story started to flow.

Rear View Mirror by Dishie

Bella enjoys her life as a successful chauffeur. After she's offered a position as the private driver for the Cullen family, her professionalism is challenged when Edward doesn't hide his desire for her. Can she fight her own attraction to the sexy entrepreneur? Will she be able to keep her eyes off the man in the rear view mirror?

Liked this one a lot. Posessive Edward. Unique profession for Bella.

Wild Turkey by Tardis19

Bella Swan's life had been turned upside down, but she hadn't thought things could get worse. She was wrong. Life as she knew it was over the minute her father drove them pass the sign that said Welcome to Wild Turkey Island, Alabama, population 1,200. Yeah, life officially sucked. AH, M for language and possible adult situations, Teen fic.

Usual high school dramz. Little grammar flubs. I like original settings.

Never Let Go by Kare831

Torn apart by life and circumstances, childhood friends cling to a bond that is tested time and time again. Pinkies entwined, they vow to never let go – especially when they need to hold on the most.

Very much a high school romance story, and all the drama that comes with.

Princess B by tea4tulips

Bella runs B. Cakes & Company, a cake decorating business. She wants to live life to the fullest and make her deceased parents proud. Edward is an architect whose world revolves around his daughter. They meet and sparks fly. Fluff and lemons. Daddyward. E/B HEA. AH.

Tea4tulips gave good fluff last week, so I jumped on this one, too!

Thanks for reading and for the great feedback.  ENJOY!

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!

In honor of Elvis Week, what Elvis song or pic represents your story or latest chapter?

I'm going crazy. Help me. Please. 


What websites do YOU troll that keep you occupied for HOURS?   i need new websites that i can visit and spend forever on, something new to occupy myself. and before you ask, no i do not have a tumblr. It's too confusing. but i DO love those GIFs y'all always post. <3


And for the love of all things fandom, PLEASE GIVE ME BOOK/FIC RECS! 


Thanks! :)

 

This campfire is pretty simple. Post your favorite chicken recipes. I have GOT to stop eating so much red meat and pork. It's just, it tastes so much better than chicken! Chicken is so BLAND. Help me out with some good recipes, yeah? I'm posting a picture of my favorite chicken, although I never make it because I hate for my house to smell like grease.

I know there is a help desk campfire on here sometimes but I can't remember this fic and it's driving me crazy-need to know now!  Lol!  I don't remember much but that Edward and Bella worked together and then started a relationship and she tormented him one time by hiding a bunch of numbered rubber ducks but kept one of them herself so that he'd drive himself crazy trying to find the last one.  The author even had a rubber duck avatar.  I think they even went to some event where she was hit on and then later stalked by James?

Hide & Seek by kharizzmatik

The night their lives were set to start was the night it all came to an abrupt end. Five simple words, "Let's play hide and seek", sparked a manhunt for Isabella Swan that has haunted Edward Cullen ever since. Back in Forks for the first time in over a decade, he has to face reality: he lost his soul mate. Is it too late to find her?
 

It may have been a while...I don't know.

How are we all feeling?! It's getting cooler here, which means I feel better about going to the gym.

But this week, I think we need some motivation!

So what motivates you?

Do you have a workout you do that really gets you in the mood for a full gym session? A recipe for some 'diet food' that's just too good not to make? An inspirational quote? A youtube exercise guru who gets you wanting to move?

Share it all here! And tell us how you're all getting on :)

It's summertime in the northern hemisphere and for many of us that means vacation!

Where did you go this summer?  Or where are you planning to go?  Any day trips?  Disneyland with the kiddos?

For us, we went camping on the coast.  It might be my favorite thing to do and I've been doing it since I was a wee tike.  :)

Several people asked to see pictures so I thought I'd post a few.  

Please, come on in and post your summer fun pictures!

It's Friday and between now and Sunday evening, the Forest is OPEN for oddness.

BUT!

Keep it clean and family friendly on the front page, Campers. (That means your original posts, just for the record.)

Keep the people decently attired, keep the language clean.

But inside the campfire? ANYTHING GOES.

DO endeavor to be interactive, okay? 

THANK YOU.

What is the NEXT BIG THING in your life? 

This can be FOR REAL or FOR PRETEND. :D

I've just found this article:

Do you agree?

Are there other bizarre things you'd add to the list?

Happy weekend!
