anything's possible if you've got enough nerve

[sdk]

Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer edition of firewhiskeyfic! We, your Mods - sdk and torino10154, are so glad you could make it. We love everyone tonight. Feel free to friend us on DW. We promise not to stalk you... much. :D

Your challenges for this month are:

Ginny Weasley

Eeylops Owl Emporium

Rogue Bludger

Bat-Bogey Hex

Stormy Weather

As you know, 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.

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), but keep in mind the majority of our players are HP people. 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 Monday, August 13th. Voting will begin on August 14th and last until Saturday August 18th.

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:</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 mods, 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!

Please do not discuss your fic/art. You can discuss ideas, drinks, how wasted you are, ways to beat the heat, best Ginny scenes from the books/movies, what would happen if you put a slab of butter into a pint of beer, 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.

Shelly's having her usual Jack and Coke while Torino's drinking a gin and tonic. How about you folks?

Let's get your drunk on!

I am going to do an early dinner before I get started on the Jack. Torino is on mom duty atm, but will be here soon!

And if anyone's curious or doesn't know, the subject for the entry comes from this quote in OoTP: “The thing about growing up with Fred and George," said Ginny thoughtfully, "is that you sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.”

How's everyone doing?? :D

[lq_traintracks]

Hey babe, it's babe! :D ♥

[lq_traintracks]

Heeeeey! :DDDD Okay, well I think I might make myself a margarita, or what passes for one with me: one part tequila, one part lime juice, one part water, over ice. I also have red wine if I feel like switching it up. No butter will be added to either. :P

Let's do this! \o/

[sdk]

Are you sure? There's butter in the house. ;P

[torino10154]

I really don't know what to think about this. LMAO

[ruinsplume]

You and I are drinking the exact same drink, lqt! Except I put agave in mine. And I’m not actually drinking it yet. Should be installed by 6:30.

And it’s none of my business but honest to god, hon: mixing ttequila and red wine is a bad, bad, bad idea. I tell you this only because I love you and. Don’t want to see you get hurt. ;p

[torino10154]

I am here!!!! Eating a bit of food before I get started on the boozing. LOL

[sdk]

Woohoo! Whatcha having?

[shaddyr]

YAY IT IS BEGUN!

So I started drinking about 45 minutes ago. I created a bastardized version of butterbeer. It's pink. And tasty.

I have some words on the page. I have no idea where it's going, I'm flying blind.

OMG I have to be functional at a BBQ in 4 hours, I better write fast!

[sdk]

Yay!!

What is this pink butter beer you speak of??

Good luck with the fast drunken writing!! Fly on, fly on.

[torino10154]

So...utterly random topic but what fests/events are people looking forward to in the next few months? Or RL stuff? Anyone have big plans?

[sdk]

BBTP. obviously. :P

Haha, but seriously IDK anything else as of yet!

[lightofdaye]

Have fun everyone!

Timezones means i'm heading to bed. Just drink lots of water and good luck with your writing.

[torino10154]

Night night, Daye! Hipefully you can play next time.

[torino10154]

I'm feeling a bit tipsy but not very inspired. A nap sounds like a good idea right about now. LMAO

[sdk]

LOL sounds good to me. budge over.

[ruinsplume]

Hey, what time did this thing start? I thought it began at 6 EST but it seems like ppl have been on for a while?
I may have to just go for it and have a shot of tequila to catch up!

dont' want to start writing until I"m a bit snockered, so if anyone feels like yakking, pipe up!

[sdk]

we started at 5pm edt, bt I think we've started at 6 in the past. I posted on my journal that it was going on yesterday so obv what do I know? who's running this thing anyway? geesh. ;p i'm really ust getting started myself tho. obv already had a drink with these stellar typing skills!

[ruinsplume]

Okay starting on my thrid drink and feeling like I"m about to get caught up with the rest of you jlushes.

[torino10154]

I've only had one! LOLOLOLOL

[ruinsplume]

(redacts comments about fic)

smoky

[torino10154]

OMG My liver hurts just thinking about straight tequila. >.< Sadly Jose Cuervo isn't a friend of mine.

[sdk]

I just went and made a new drink and then left it there when i canme back to the computer. hahaha. whoops.

[torino10154]

LOL

I went looking for cake. We don't have any. Sad!

[shaddyr]

Mmm, cake! I don't have any either. now I want some. damn.

[torino10154]

It's a real problem because I am in no state to make one or go to the store! LOL

[ruinsplume]

someone please tell me that this is not a good time to give myself a haircut

[torino10154]

Er, as the mother of two children, I would caution you against doing something like that in your current state. The pics of my son after my daughter cut his bangs aren't pretty.

[firethesound]

Hello! I am joining in late (hopefully not too late? I have never done this before!) Already downed a shot of vodka to catch up with y'all, and am now working through a mimosa using up the bottle of cheap champagne that's been taking up space in my fridge since New Year's Eve

[torino10154]

Hello!!! Definitely not too late!

Mmm, cheap champagne. LOL I think I have some of that in my fridge too.

[tjs_whatnot]

Me: Oh, yay, I think Firewhiskey fic is tonight, I should have a drink.
Me: Oh, but I haven't eaten anything today.
Me: And I have something on the stove that's been simmering for hours.
Me: And I haven't written forEVER.
Me: Maybe I should take it slow. Ease into it. Eat first. Cook first. Plot and whatnot first.
Also Me: Maybe just one... small one. *guzzles* Or maybe two. *guzzles more*

Yeah, this is going to be greeeeeeeat.

[torino10154]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[shaddyr]

Mods?

[torino10154]

I think you can save it till you get back, see if you feel like finishing/are tipsy enough to continue. If so great, if not, send what you have. We get, er, open-ended fics all the time. LOL

[gryffindorj]

This whole thing is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

[torino10154]

Drink more.

[torino10154]

I am heading to bed, everyone. Feel free to chat amongst yourselves, drunkenly write, and enjoy your Saturday night. ♥

[alisanne]

that's not fair. :P

[alisanne]

Hello! *waves*

Okay, so we had butterbeers with dinner, which were delicious, but now we're back in our room and they won't deliver them up here! Outrageous. :(

Which means we may have to LEAVE and go get alcohol. What kind of half-ased hotel is this?
Anyway, I'm trying to browbeat the people into bringing us alcohol....

Oh, but they WILL deliver wine. So, what kind? Red, white, or pink? Choices, choices...

[lilyseyes]

I dunno - my head's alreday spinning from the butterberr!

[tjs_whatnot]

Need. More. Drinks.

[alisanne]

Need some words! :p

[alisanne]

All done, hooray!
Now, back to the con. ;)

[torino10154]

YAY! I'm so glad you found time to comeplay. (I'm leaving that typo because LMAOOOOOOO)
