Hi, Campers! It's summer break for this teacher, which means I have a lot more time on my hands to read some awesome stories. There's only one problem...

My fanfic update alerts are few and far between. :(

I can't remember a time when I had so few alerts. I think it's probably because I was waaaaay too busy this school year to start new stories.

Soooooooo...

I'm looking for WIP Vamp fics. Canon or AU. What makes you happy when it updates? :) I've got The Keepsake, Serenity's Prayer, Garment of Brightness, Fill Me With Your Poison, and the one below on update alert. Any other suggestions??

Recommendation for your time:

Breakdown by FelicityDeadwood

What if Charlie and Renee institutionalized Bella after Edward left and it only damaged her further? What if Edward returned to beg her to take him back only to find her broken? Could his love repair the damage? B/E Canon couple

Exactly WHY are you not reading this one? It's almost 300,000 of amazing goodness!!

Someone is posting my story as theirs. The profile looks new, lets shut it down before she takes yours.

My story: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8560928/1/Countdown-to-Combustion

Hers: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9386375/1/Can-t-Fight-Fate

It's a different title, but it's word for word my story.

Thanks guys for helping!

ETA: Just Clicked the link to see if the thief had done anything yet, and it was unable to locate the fic! Thanks guys!!

And so... the newest trailer has been unleashed!

I feel like I'm making too much campfires (Sorry, if anyone's annoyed!) but being home from college and not having a job or any vacation plans resulted in me just reading fanfic all day and eating all the food in the fridge...

So anyways, today I want to ask all of you lovely folks for your favorite Coming of Age/Growing Up fics.Things like first kiss/first relationship & all those warm and fuzzy feelings you get from falling in love for the first time or even getting your heart broken for the first time too; stories with an element of innocence that make you nostalgic about your childhood and those "good old days". I'm not picky about the age-frame as long as I get my nice "trip down the memory-lane" buzz. I've already read Starry Eyed Inside, Don't Take the Girl, An Introduction to Swirl and Daisy, Four Summers, For the Summer, Green, Oceanic, Through the Oak Door (It's a mystery too but still have a lovely "first-love" feel), The Mirrors, and The Best I ever had.

Rec: I know a lot of people don't like to read one-shots, but these two are really well-written and also another example of what I'm kinda looking for. Enjoy! 

The Importance of Being Edward
Author: WhatsMyNomDePlume PM
Bella Swan knows she kissed a boy last night named Edward. Problem is, she can't remember much more than that. When she goes looking for him, she finds out Edward is not as rare of a name as she would like.AH, Edward/Bella/…Edward Fluff fluff fluff.

Golden Boy
Author: stella luna sky PM
The first time I saw him, he was the defeated quarterback of my school's rival team. I'm still not sure why I talked to him, but I know it's the smartest thing I've ever done. One shot, AU/AH, M.

I wasn't sure if there would be a help desk cf today, so I wanted to see if anyone in the forest knows whether Chrometurtle is planning on finishing Expectations and Other Moving Pieces?

I was cleaning up my favorites at ff.net and I noticed it has been six months since she updated her story. It's probably my favorite work of fanfiction, so I leave it up despite the lengthy update schedule for this story.

I'm always hopeful, and I think there was a several month wait for the last update, so I hope she plans on continuing this amazing story.

Anybody know about her, and about her plans for this story?

Here is my rec (obvious, huh?) - I highly recommend this story, but just be aware of the update schedule. It's a little slow....

Expectations and Other Moving Pieces

Too Edward Cullen-ish the one above, no?

What do you think?

Happy Birthday, TwilightMomofTwo!  

Your Twilight Gals love you! P.S. we need to get together and celebrate SOON, LIKE MAYBE THS WEEKEND?

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.

Anyone know what happened to Transencedence, by Savage7289?

EDIT: Anyone here got a copy of the aforementioned? ;)

I can't for the life of me remember the name of a certain M rated fanfic.  It was a multi-chapter fic, with a vampire Edward and co.  The main detail I remember is that Edward's venom served as an aphrodisiac to Bella.  There were chapters where the author teased the idea of what his venom could do, and then a couple of chapters where (oops) Edward bit her or something, and she loses her mind.

It's not Forever by AwesomeSauce76, as awesome as that story is.  Thanks to anyone who may help!
