Firewhiskeyfic: Bonfire Night Edition

[torino10154]

Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!

We recommend some Bonfire Night Cocktails for the occasion!

Are you the Hot Irish Whisky sort?



Or maybe more of a Rum and Hot Chocolate type?



The festivities will begin at 6PM EDT/3PM PDT (that's 10PM GMT as the time will have already changed outside the US) on Saturday, November 4th! That's the night of the time change in the US so use your extra hour to hang out with us!

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!

"It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be."

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


1. This round will take place on Saturday November 4, 6pm EDT (and last until you finish or pass out). Due to sucky time zones mucking everything up, if you'd like to start earlier or later, that's fine!

2. Your fic and/or art will be due 48 hours from the challenge start time. For this round, that means Tues., November 7th by Noon. (We would prefer to turn them in the same night or the next morning, but we understand drunk/hangover emailing might be a tad too challenging.)

Please note: The extra time provided may not be used for editing or adding on or fixing typos, etc. (If you were too drunk to add a header, please add one when sober, tho. ;)) Also note: NO BETAS ALLOWED. We recommend you don't even look at or reread your submission before turning it in. (You can be surprised right along with the rest of us!)

3. Submissions will be posted anonymously on the evening of the 7th and voting will be open for various categories through Saturday, November 11th. Please vote! (But not for yourself! :P)

4. All fandoms are welcome! We're traditionally very HP focused here, but if you get inspired to go Marvel or Supernatural or Doctor Who, etc., etc. (or a crossover!) that's totally fine.

5. And finally, you must be at least the legal drinking age in your country in order to participate.

Email submissions, questions, comments, drunken ramblings to: fwfdrunkmods@gmail.com


Again, Saturday November 4th at 6 PM EDT/10PM GMT/3PM PDT. We hope to see you there!

Excellent!!! :D

[torino10154]

Cheers! :D

[magpie_fngrl]

It sounds fun! Do we choose a prompt or are we assigned one?

[torino10154]

You're free to use as many (or as few) as you'd like. One of the categories people are judged on is "use of prompt" but really they're just suggestions.

[magpie_fngrl]

Cool! I'll have to see how my Erised will go, but I'm very tempted :)

[torino10154]

Even if you don't write, we'll be hanging around chatting. If you get your work done, come join us. :)

[lq_traintracks]

Magpie!! Do it! DO IT! It's so fun! I really hope you can! :D

[magpie_fngrl]

Alas, it's almost midnight here and I'm in bed. *is old* I worked on Erised all day and my brain is mush.
I'll be looking forward to reading the fics!
Have fun 💖

[lq_traintracks]

Ahhh, you're way over there somewhere. Ah well. I'm at least glad you were able to work yourself mushy over your Erised today (ditto)!

And my gf is going to come along and get a HUGE laugh at my expense over you saying you're old for going to bed at midnight, as I typically go to bed between 9:30 and 10. :P ;)

Hope to see you next time! ♥

[sdk]

I will finish this time! Or I will turn in something unfinished. Either way, I am determined! \o/

[torino10154]

LOL Hopefully we BOTH manage this round. That would be impressive. :D

[lq_traintracks]

Go, honey, go! :DDD <3333

[tjs_whatnot]

Yassssssssssss!

[torino10154]

Cheers! :D

[reg_flint]

This ought to be fun. Am I too early or is this a good time to start drinking and writing like a fool? (I have already had two beers.)

EDIT it's next week? Snape would call me a dunderhead and guess what, he has a point.

[torino10154]

LOL No worries. But yes, it's next Saturday. :)

[gin_tonic]

Fully plan on taking part! Even informed my mother I could accompany her to an event because I was getting drunk with people from the internet. When I explained it, she said "Oh, that? You don't have to explain that, you've participated before." I do not remember telling her. XD

[kiertorata]

Hahahahaha :D

[torino10154]

LOLOLOLOL Maybe she can join us. :D

[gin_tonic]

OMG I can stand knowing my mother knowing I write fanfic, but she certainly doesn't need to know the porny details. LOL

[lq_traintracks]

LMAO! I always text my mother (who lives 3 blocks away and may think I'm available for either doing something or talking, neither of which is possible during FWF) and let her know I'll be uselessly drunk this evening. ::nods::

[kiertorata]

Soooooo. I convinced a lot of my friends to participate. :D The amount of participants might double or something. Sorry not sorry!

[sdk]

That's awesome! The more the merrier! :D

[torino10154]

AWESOME!! That's fantastic. :D

[shaddyr]

well shit! I've been off DW for a month, underwater from school work and such and I find this! and in time! and early enough that I can participate and still go to the party I was invited to afterward!

Uh, of course I might not be in any shape to go to a party afterward.

Damn, I have GOT to get my homework finished tonight!

And go buy some whiskey tomorrow.

[torino10154]

I do hope you'll be able to join us!!! :D

[darkmoore]

Um, what is this? I read "getting drunk" when someone just posted on another comm and ... I have to admit I'm curious so I decided to come over and have a look.

Who is getting drunk? Are you drunk typing? That should be fun. *grin*

[torino10154]

I saw that you found the post. Have fun! :)
