Nice to Meet You!

Tuesday July 2, 2013 at 4:46 PM

After seeing all the pictures from the meet up (which made me insanely jealous!) I thought it would be cool to 'meet' some of you on here.

I'll post my pic inside!

What the what?

Tuesday July 2, 2013 at 10:07 AM

There's a lot of things in this world I don't get. Mainly, silly pop culture stuff and fashion. Oh and Facebook, Twitter. I just don't understand the obsession or the purpose is lost on me. We had a campfire like this ages ago and thought it would be fun to do one again.

What are some things that you don't get? What leaves you mystified?

Mine on the inside.

 

 

 

Keep it light-hearted folks.

would you like a weekly post?

Tuesday July 2, 2013 at 9:05 AM

apply to have a weekly campfire post on ADF

hello, darlings. do feed a tree while you're here, won't you?

also, don't forget- freeforall for the entire week!

okay, so we're asking you one question today:

would you like to make a weekly post here on ADF? we'd love to have you!

starting now until midnight eastern this sunday, we will be taking your proposals to make weekly posts here on ADF- mainly the weekly rec, pimp it, amnesia, and help desk campfires, but we're also taking suggestions for any ideas you might have. we love our weekly posts and appreciate the people who do them on a regular basis- so how'd you like to be one of those campers who help out?

the rules are simple: you send us a proposal, and we'll pick the ones that we feel are best representative of the forest. we'll offer the post to you, then you and the rangers will work together to figure out the best day to post it.

then you start making the post. every week. from here on out.

sound like something you'd be down for? i hope so!

 

to participate, here's what you do:

-send an email to dearwtvoc@gmail.com using the following format:

  • your ADF username
  • if you're going for one of the four, include the name of the campfire: either help desk, weekly rec, amnesia, or pimp it
  • if not, give us the title of your proposed campfire with a brief description of what it would be about
  • show us your post (see below for instructions)
  • send this email before midnight eastern this sunday.
  • you may apply for more than one weekly campfire, if you wish.
  • do not fret if you skip a week or do not want to keep doing it after a while- i'm a fair guy and i'm not scary, you can just tell me! god and the rangers know, we all have lives.

that's it! now, a detail: in order to show us your campfire, this is the format in which you must send it: 

  • it must look like a sample campfire of the weekly subject you are submitting for
  • if you would like the graphics for the weekly rec, help desk, or pimp it, either PM me or click on the tag for that post and copy the graphic from there. if you are creating a brand new campfire, you may create your own graphic for it! if you do not have skillz, i recommend you either solicit for someone to create you one using this campfire, or you can let us know in the email that you are an untalented hack (like me) and will need help with it. we have people for that, darling.
  • you may use anything you like- pictures, videos, music, sparkles, fonts, sarcasm; whatever you'd use in a regular post. try to keep it as clean-looking as possible- too much color differentiation, too many pictures, too much anything is not always desirable. we want to read your words, and we want our eyes to be pleased!
  • it must be sent in html. if you wish, you can format the campfire on ADF, then hit "source" and copy-all the entire html code from there. that's how i would do it, but if you speak fluent html, then by all means. we rangers will be testing your proposals in much the same fashion.
  • if you have more than one proposal, please send a separate email for each.
  • make sure you're following the rules for posting.

now, i've included the tags for these campfires so that you can easily find what they look like. we're all very excited to see what you guys come up with. get creative! bust out your great ideas! and good luck!

use this post to ask questions you may have, or to shoot ideas around. or idk, tell me what you're up to today.

tomorrow, i will be doing a brand new thing: a swap. dig around for your unused gift cards and books you no longer want/need. i'm looking forward to this particular campfire. i'll be wanting to swap a giftcard to life uniforms, for the scrub-wearing campers out 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.

Lesser known fics?

Saturday June 29, 2013 at 8:08 PM

Hello all! 

Recently I've been on http://library.ficcentral.com/ alot because they featured fics that aren't well-known, but for the most part are still really well written and deserving of more viewership. If you're anything like me, you've probably read most of the popular fics and those that get rec'd a lot in these camp fires. So my question is what sites do you use to find the rare gems fics in the fandoms, or specifically what fanfics you've liked that you felt deserved more review/readership? 

I really like this two-shot. It isn't that well known (with under 200 reviews), but the writing is very thoughtful and this is a type of Edward that I like; where he is attractive but not godly so, confident but not arrogant. Enjoy!

Give a rec, Need a rec

Saturday June 29, 2013 at 3:07 PM

I was thinking that we can do a rec post-rec one and then ask for a rec?

So I'll start:

 

 

Give a rec:

 

The Lux series by Jennifer Armentrout was highly recommended to me last week, and I bought a prequel on B&N cheap and was able to get the rest of the series from the library.  I'm so hooked on them.  Book 5, Origin, will be out this coming August.

It's a YA series with aliens, and the characters are strong and well written, imo.

Interesting side note: the cover models for the Lux series met years ago and just happen to be engaged. She's a model and he's a model and professional soccer player from Cypress.

 

 

 

Need a rec:

I'm desperately looking for recs, fic or otherwise for books of a similar nature. I prefer slim to none on graphic smut, but I can always glance over it.  I'm really into the  alien love thing right now, but any good Sci fi/paranormal/fantastic tale will do.

ADF won't let me use just "oi" as my title

Saturday June 29, 2013 at 12:58 PM

freeforall extravaganza all week long!

first off,  hi. how are ya.

secondly, feed a tree, please!

thirdly, i know it's been dead around here. the beginning of summer is the doldrums as far as the forest is concerned. that's why i'll be declaring that the freeforall shall continue all next week. i'll remind you all come monday, don't worry. 

fourthly, i'm doing a new kind of campfire this week: a swap. swap books, swap gift cards, swap husbands, whatever; the only rule will be you take care of shipping on your end and they take care on theirs. no money is to exchange hands or paypal emails. that one will probs go up tuesday, unless my dad ends up in surgery.

fifthly, jandco and i just finished the first draft of our novel. it's all happening!

sixthly, i want you all to watch orphan black. find it. it's only ten episodes. i'll be writing some fanfiction for it soon.

seventhly, we will be looking for people to take on the weekly rec, pimp, and help desk posts. do not inquire within; i will post about it later this week. you will have to apply for the position. if it's something you'd like to do, start thinking of proposals, because that's what you're going to be writing for us.

okay, that's it. use this post to ask me questions about anything i just posted or life in general or like, idk. tell me how hot paul on orphan black is, or how allison/fee is your new brOTP.

Just want you to know...

Saturday June 29, 2013 at 12:52 PM

 

 

Since everyone has been so awesome here and patient when answering my questions..... I just want you to know that we know the sex of the baby and it is a BOY!!!  We are so excited, but I'm nervous at the same time as my siblings and I have all girls....  I know it's early, as we are about 16 weeks, but it feels nice to finally know and to start planning.  I thought we had the name picked but hubby wants something different so we are trying to meet in the middle.

 

Thanks again everyone...you guys are the best :)

ADF Fit Club

Friday June 28, 2013 at 3:30 AM

I think we're on week 30...I'm not sure.

Anyway, we haven't had one for a couple of weeks so I thought I'd kick it back off!

How have we all been doing?

I've got some ideas for this campfire, since I think the whole idea of a 40 week challenge just isn't working (with how many people have been commenting as of late) I figured instead of a challenge, it's simply a weekly or biweekly (depending on when people remember to make  this CF) when we talk about being healthy, losing weight (if that's what you're wanting to do) and generally swapping fit-tips.

How does that sound?

This weeks challenge; show me your favourite motivational meme!
