Firewhiskey Fic

Brilliant colors burst, like fireworks in the sky,
Golden, red, and orange, catching every eye.
Each season brings a gift, a part of nature's plan,
But October's beauty, a masterpiece at hand.
~Catherine Pulsifer

Firewhiskeyfic is SATURDAY, October 17! So don't start drinking yet--at least not for the event! :D

For this OctoberFest event, besides a hearty stein of beer, we highly recommend these German cocktails!

Perhaps you'd like to try a Sloe Gin Holler....



Or maybe some warm Glühwein is more your speed!



The festivities will begin at 9PM BST/4PM EDT/1PM PDT on Saturday, October 17! Hopefully, the time works for you but remember that you can come and go as you please, start early, leave late. It's all good as long as while you are writing, you're drinking. :D

We are hosting on our DW community again this round. If you do not have a DW account (yet *g*), you should be able to comment with OpenID or anonymously.

Your Prompts!

Lederhosen or Dirndl

Pretzel

(Hide the) Sausage

Ich liebe dich

Golden Hour

"Drink me under the table"

A rundown of the rules. A more thorough explanation will be posted on the night of the event.

( Basic Rules )

Again, Saturday, October 17 at 9PM BMT/4PM EDT/1PM PDT. We hope to see you there!

Thoughts on as to when our next FWF Event should take place. Feel free to share with any of your friends/flist who you think would be interesting in participating. Please answer the poll by July 26!

There are 4 incoherent entries this round for your viewing (and voting) pleasure! Please remember to vote for the NUMBER of the piece, not the title.

If you've got an entry for this round, they're due tonight.

If you're still trying to finish, that's fine. If you thought you were going to but it's not working out, that's OK too. Sometimes it's just like that.

Welcome to the 'Valentine' edition of firewhiskeyfic! We're so glad you could make it.

Your challenges for this round are:

Under Your Spell

Chocolate

My Bloody Valentine

Only One Bed

Friday the 13th

"Love isn't something you find. Love is something that finds you."

Quick clarification for newbies: you don't have to use all the prompts--though that does make for a fun fic!--but since one of the categories for voting is "Best Use of Prompt" we do recommend using at least one.

This is the Official Discussion Post. If you feel like chatting, and we hope you do, pop in here and let us know how it's going. Please do not discuss your fic/art. You can discuss ideas, drinks, how wasted you are, your favorite actors or musicians, the state of the world (a nice, safe topic LOL), or whatever floats your boat. Just don't discuss your fic/art. This is an anonymous fest until after the reveal, and we don't want hints being given as to what you're writing about. :)

And just so we're clear, you don't have to write pr0n, though it definitely makes for interesting reading when characters change right in the middle of shagging because you're too drunk to remember who you're writing about. ;) You can write for any fandom (including original). Anything goes!

Once you are semi-conscious, send your UNBETA'D UNCORRECTED fic to this email: fwfdrunkmods@gmail.com Trust me, we can tell if you've messed with it, so don't do it, okay?

You will receive an email from us confirming that we got it. If you don't get an email, we didn't get it. Your fics/art will be due by midnight on Sunday, February 15th. Voting will begin on February 16 and last until Friday, February 20th.

HERE IS THE HEADER! You can put this in the email body or the fic body. Whatever!

(please fill this out to the best of your ability. If you're unable, we will try to complete it for you)

<b>Title:</b> <b>Author:</b> <b>I am of legal drinking age in my region:</b> (yes/no) <b>Pairing(s)/Characters/Fandom:</b> <b>Challenge/Prompts used:</b> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Rating/Warnings:</b> <b>Word count:</b> <b>Author's Notes (if any):</b>

In order to make things easiest on your poor, likely hungover mod, please put your DW username and (if you can manage) the title of your fic/art into your subject line or at least somewhere in the body of the email. Thank you!

This seems like good a time to mention my wonderful co-mod, sdk has had to retire from the event as alcohol (and other fun things) are no longer recommended. We'll miss you, bb. Feel free to stop by anytime. ♥

Let's get our drunk on!

Mark your calendars! FWF is returning on Friday the 13th of February @ 5pm EST | 10pm GMT. We hope you can join us for a fun night of drinking, conversation, and oh yeah, creating your masterpieces!

More info and prompts will be posted the week before (though it will be a lot like it's always been). Hope to see you here!

DON'T FORGET! The October firewhiskeyfic votes are due tomorrow Friday, October 10th.

There are a few folks who have not voted yet and there are some categories that are wide open! If you created something for this month's event, you are required to vote to win!

There are 10 pieces for your viewing (and voting) pleasure!
