Hi all,

I'm looking for a Bella/Edward fic i read a few years ago, hope people remember the title.  Bella is a waitress and Edward comes into her diner regularly, she's witty and tells jokes with the other staff.  Esme doesn't approve of her because she's working class, he plays the piano.... i really hope this rings a bell for someone.  Dying to reread it.

Hope everyone's having a great summer!

Here's a sweet little rec:

Secrets, Lies, & Family Ties

So my hubs is heading to Seattle on Saturday and needs some insight on what to see and do.  Anyone in the forest able to help a girl out on some suggestions?  He likes trying new things so don't hold back because he's a guy, unless you recommend a spa day...probably not what's he's looking for entertainment.

I really wish I was going with him but work is crazy busy for me and well..someone has to stay home with the kids.

Also your assistance will give me more ammunition for continuing my love of the forest since my resources are helping him out.

For your suggestions...

And a rec for your help too...an oldie but goodie

Campfire was approved by the awesome ranger LJ Summers.  Thank you again!!

I will now forever hear it as pet shark.

I'm leaving for Africa on Friday and I have a 10h+ flight ahead of me (as well as 7 weeks in which I won't be able to update my music library). My iPod has been very neglected for months now, the times where I discovered new bands each day seem to be long over (plus, my iTunes library is on my old laptop but I only ever use my Mac anymore so updating this is also a huge pain...)


In any case: I'm in desperate, desperate need of some music recs!

I listen to just about anything. From Build me up Buttercup, to Justin Timberlake, to the Lumineers and Mumford and Sons, to U2 and Bon Jovi to Call me Maybe and other annoyingly catchy songs. You get the picture ;-)

So please hit me up with some of your all time favourites - or just tell me what's on your summer playlist this year, I'm grateful for every suggestion!

Here's the one song I've been listening to non stop for weeks now. Matt Corby is brilliant. You're welcome ;)

I wanna have a good old fashioned talking about favourite character type campfire.

so ladies and gent(s), even though we've probably had this discussion countless times, just for s***s and giggles, tell me the worst ex-girlfriend/wife/significant-unnamed-relationship-woman you've ever read in the fics you ship.

it could be any ship, it doesn't have to be an existing story either, we're just talking about her so can totally just create her and the tiny plotline with her if you'd wish to.

its your campfire, burn it to your hearts delight.

and while you're at it, feed a tree or two please, thank you. 

i shall give you two recs:

This Is Who I Am » by pattyrose

Edward Cullen, successful business exec/playboy/all around bad boy. Bella Swan, divorced mom/graphic artist/unwilling to trust her heart to the likes of someone like Edward again. Will she give him a chance? Does he even deserve one? AH, AU ExB

Summer Nights » by Jenny0719

Bella Swan moves to Chicago with her son and Jacob Black. She then meets Edward Cullen and falls in love. But someone doesn't want Bella and Edward to be together...

P.S. I fail at resizing the font, forgive me, I'm trying really hard to make ADF a little more customised from my phone, it's just proving harder than I imagined it.

P.P.S. if any ranger can sort the font resize thingy, I shall love them forever.

Hello everyone!

So, I discovered HBO Go this weekend, and have been binge-watching old seasons of True Blood that I have never seen.  I'm now interested in reading some True Blood fan-fic, but am afraid to go fic diving after so many years of reading really quality Twilight fic writing.  I'm interested in either Sookie/Bill or Sookie/Eric, but really would take any recommendations.

Appreciate the help :)

Fic recs (a favorite from Twilight, as well as from two other fandoms):

Distractions by windchymes. 

Summary: An unexpected discovery and Bella realises Edward lied when he left her. She is determined to find him, but as she searches she finds there is more to Edward Cullen than she ever realised.

Priori Incantatem by fellytone

Summary: Can James Potter, Marauder and troublemaker extraordinaire, ever convince Lily Evans, Prefect and good girl, that they were meant to be?

May the Valar Protect Them by Nilmandra

Summary: This is the story of Legolas and the amazing circumstances set around his birth and early life. Features Legolas, Thranduil and a cast of original characters from Greenwood and beyond.

I just  finished reading The elusive Mr Cullen and I am in shock. And now i really need some good Ceoward fanfiction where Edward is sexy, healthy and posessive with Bella but not THAT crazy. I actually loved that fanfiction but the end not. So what is your favorite? And do you have fanfiction that you loved at first and then something happened?

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 big ole peek!

I'm not sure if Free-for-All is finished now, but I'll provide a rec at the conclusion of this campfire just incase. So two nights ago, I got plagued with the plotline of a fanfiction I read years ago but never finished because it was still a WIP at the time. It was pretty interesting from what I can remember and I would love to go back and finish it since I assume it would be completed by now. 

Here's what I remember: 

It starts off with Edward and Bella in some random office closet having sex (we find out that they are co-workers but in the past year or so, established a very casual sex relationship with no strings attached supposedly). Except now Bella is emotionally-attached to Edward now, much to her disdain. We also find out Edward is sort of a womanizer in the office. Bella was later on invited to some Cullen Dinner Party and there she ran into Edward, who came with Heidi and introduced her as his girlfriend. Bella got upset, and confronted Edward in the bathroom and while Bella feels something for him, Edward claims that their relationship before was purely sexual for him. Bella got pissed and decides to call their "arrangement" off, and she quits her job and moves away because she needed a break from Edward and wanted a fresh start. 

Bella established herself in a new city, and I think she became friends with Alec (this detail is kinda fuzzy and I might be confusing it with another fanfic), and the last scene I remember is her painting in an attic while reflecting on the past year or so.

 Sound familiar to anyone? :O

Blood
Author: cupcakeriot PM
I realized, with no small amount of disbelief, that my life had become the vampire version of Cinderella. Except that I didn't lose a shoe once upon a time; I lost my life. I also realized, reluctantly, that I belonged to him – that my blood was his.

Hey there, everybody!!!!

Wow! I haven't made a campfire in ages. I promise I didn't disappear. Well, not technically. Ah well, not like you missed me anyways.

Regardless, I had a question.

I have a poem I wrote a few months ago when I wasn't doing so well. I've read it to my friends and they told me I should try and get it published.

Idk how I would go about that. I would love to, but yeah.

Poem posted inside in Vocaroo form. 

:)

To make this interactive, have you ever written/made/created something cool and had people tell you it's good enough for publication??? 

If so, what did you do about it???

Thanks to everyone to commented in my Mac campfire. I definintely think I'm goig to go with the mac. All the problems I've had with windows in the past has seriously annoyed the crap out of me, and since I have my own money now, well...:D

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. I guess you could say this campfire is an update of sorts on what's been going on lately-with RL, Resent, etc. But mostly RL. Specifically with Bro. I already mentioned it briefly in my mac campfire, but I'm feeling the need for some good ol- catharsis, so I'm going to open the proverbial door and invite you all in.

In case you're scratching your heads about whats going on with my bro, look no further: Defining Normal

*AF AND RESENT UPDATE UP INSIDE*

Do you know those feelings of complete loss and helplessness after finishing a fic that was so perfect that you don't quite know how you can continue on? Well, that is how I'm feeling right now.

After over a year of putting it off I finally read Firefly in Summer, and it reminded me of what I loved about fanfiction to begin with. But now I'm in that rut where I don't know how to start something new after that.

I'd love to hear what fics that have made you feel like this, and how you usually cope with the aftershock of it ending?

Do you just give up on fic for a while, or dive right back in?

<3

Rob buys groceries:

OMGOD, Henry Cavill buys groceries too!   And he enjoys it!

Apparently Leo diCaprio was also buying groceries at Ralph's supermarket earlier in the day.  But the pictures weren't hot enough to make this campfire.

Have you ever had a celebrity encounter in a mundane situation?  

I was on a flight with Robin Williams once, and I saw one of the Golden Girls (the one who sprays herself in that gif) at Central Market in Austin, Texas. YEAH.  See if you can top that, lol.

Hey friends,

Does anyone have a copy of a story called "Dangerous Affections?"  I remember it loving it years ago and really want to read it again.  I think the author is wishimight.

Thank you!!!

please PM this camper for her email as we do not post our private emails in public on this website!
