Would you like me to do it now? Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?

[torino10154]

Apologies for the slight delay in getting started!!! Here we go!

Welcome to the Iceman Cometh 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:

Severus Snape

Knockturn Alley

Transfiguration

Frostbite

Iceplay

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.

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 Sunday, February 2nd. Voting will begin on February 3rd and last until Friday February 7th.

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 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, your favorite Hogwarts classes, snarkiest Snape lines from the books/movies, the best way to prevent frostbite, 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. :)

Tonight your mods are taking turns hanging out. Torino (that's me! Hiiiii!) will start the festivities, Shelly will swoop in after dinner for a little while as she's not feeling well (BOO!!!!), and I'll be back again... probably after Shelly passes out. ;) Not sure yet what we'll be drinking. I need to poke around in the liquor cabinet and see what the options are. LOL How about you folks? Margaritas? Firewhiskey neat?

Let's get our drunk on!

Just down a bit of neat spiced rum waiting for the start gun.

Now mixing with lemonade. I usually use coke (and might still if this tastes bad) but alocohol plus caffiene you know?

[torino10154]

I'll start because I can't actually start drinking alcohol yet--I have to get my daughter from work shortly. I'm drinking some kind of caffeinated Red Bull-like product for the time being.

[kiertorata]

Aww yay, good to see some people over here already! I always feel ahead of the game because of timezones lol xD on a very good trajectory getting drunk, but still haven't opened the laptop yet.

[lightofdaye]

getting nicely into it now

but who and what to write not much of a Snape fan myself

[kiertorata]

Ok, drunkedness stepped up a notch. Second round of my foolproof combo: a quick-n-dirty shot of "salmari" and 1 near-pint raspberry sour for enjoyment. Time to start writing! *cracks knuckles*

[torino10154]

I suspect we'll have waves of people, with quiet times in between. Like between when the early folks leave but before others have got home from work or whatever. Anyway, just a random thought. LOL

[lightofdaye]

hangover cures

as anyone got any?

we might need them sooner or later.

Planning on getting some food down me once I'm finished writing, and water of course.

[paulamcg]

Yay, it’s started! Where I am, Friday’s actually almost over. Can I join in later, after sleeping a bit and doing something I must be sober for, if I promise to then drink and write as fast as I can?

[kiertorata]

Sos things just got complicated here. Have to find my way home from the pub and go to the grocery store AND continue writing once I get home xD

[sdk]

Hey everyone! Just popping my head in. So glad this is a virtual party because I am toxic right now. *sneezes* I, unfortunately, can not drink because I need more medication in 30 minutes (I am counting down those minutes) but I’m here to cheer y’all on! If you need anything while Torino is away, reply to this comment and I’ll get it if I haven’t passed out yet. Drunk writing go go go! 🥳🍻🍾🥂🍸🍹🍷

[lightofdaye]

done.

also chicken noodle soup is fantastic

[torino10154]

OK, everyone, I have to step away for the next, er, 5 hours. LOL I do plan to check back in when I get home. *fingers crossed*

[lq_traintracks]

I'm home from work and ready to write something! I'm going full method writing for the 'ice play' side of things, as I'm currently sitting on an ice pack for my bursitis. LOL. :P

[kiertorata]

How's eveyrone holding up?

I'm so ready to go to sleep but I can't leave my extremely coherent plot unresolved!

[songquake]

I'm heeeeere! And starting with bourbon over ice with seltzer. But light on the seltzer.

God people, I haven't committed any kind of fic in 2 years, I think, including drunk!fic since I missed FWF over the summer. Let's hope that the bourbon can become my creative juices!

[lq_traintracks]

DONE! \o/

[logospilgrim]

Grah! I can't tonight, but I can tomorrow night... Is it all right if I write my drunken fic tomorrow night? If it's not all that long, is that okay too?

Note: the alcoholic beverage of choice will be No. 9 here, oh yes.

[goddess47]

Just getting started... yay for time zones! Letting the first part of the drink start to do its thing...

Peach bourbon... not something I would have bought, it was a gift from a friend. Not sure I like it, but, heck, it's alcohol. ;-)

Good luck to everyone!

[tjs_whatnot]

WHATNOT IS IN THE HOUSE W00T W00T!!

Or something.

Anyway... here... drinking... waiting for that moment before the moment when I'm passed out, but loopy enough to poop out some words in some sort of storytelling sort of fashion.

I'm drinking caramel vodka and rum chata. It's delicious and really helping with the sore throat thing.

GUH! Are we all sick?!?! We should do a fwf solely using over the counter meds sometime. PARTY!

♥

[songquake]

Done! finished somethisng totes ridiculoso.

[torino10154]

I've returned. Anyone still poking at their entries?

[paulamcg]

I couldn’t start yet, because I must soon join my community theater troop to build a stage and then stand on it. But after the show… The drinks are waiting, and I swear I’m not writing a word for the fic before I’m tipsy. I hope you had a great night, and mine’s ahead!

[paulamcg]
