"They run off eckeltricity, do they?"

[torino10154]

Getting us started a few minutes early!

Welcome to the Dad Bod 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:

Arthur Weasley

Ottery St Catchpole

Misuse of Muggle Artifacts

Plugs

Tinker

NEW - Dad

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. Also, we added 'Dad' as one of the prompts to help with anyone not doing Harry Potter. LOL In future we will try to have 2-3 prompts each round that are not HP-specific.

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. Please do not discuss your fic/art. You can discuss ideas, drinks, how wasted you are, your favorite Hogwarts classes, best/worst 'Dad' moments from the books/movies, what you'll do if COVID is ever actually over, 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), 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, January 24th. Voting will begin on January 25th and last until Saturday, January 29th.

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!

Torino is getting us started before rushing off (returning shortly with rum) and Shelly will be along in a bit with her usual bottle of Jack. (Don't worry. Not drinking the whole bottle.) How about you folks? What's the drink that's got you through the last year or the one you look forward to having the next time you're out with family or friends?

Let's get our drunk on!

I've got a couple Buzzfeed links to share at the outset: 14 Cocktails That Bartenders Claim Are Super Underrated (the caption under the vodka gimlet is hilarious) and Bartenders Are Sharing The Best Drinks That People Never Order

[corvidology]

I make all of those cocktails on the regular.

I'm just prepping the shaker to get this kicked off.

[sdk]

I am here!!! Just finished my stuff for the day and am ready to relax and drink! XD

[torino10154]

YAY What are we drinking tonight?

Woo hoo!

[oldtoadwoman]

Lemme get my rum!

Re: Woo hoo!

[torino10154]

Cheers!

[glittering_git]

I am SO excited for this!!!! I'm going to properly join in like an hour or so but cannot wait to see what others come up with (and what my brain decides to write when it's well...not all the way there lol)

[torino10154]

Sounds good! That's probably when I can properly join myself. :)

[paulamcg]

I drunk enough of Scottish style winter ale to get drunk enough at some point – and then I sadly sobered up before anyone else started drinking (: but not before finishing a drunken thingy and a header, too. :) Because of my sucky time zone, I'm off to bed now. Have a great time with your dad bods and plugs! Cheers!

[sdk]

Time zones suck! But so glad you were able to participate anyway!! I look forward to your entry :D

[dani_meows]

Hello!

I'm drinking fireball whiskey and apple juice and my cheeks are already warming. I wanted to drink Manhattans with cherry juice but sadly the liquor store had no vermouth. I haven't been able to drink in two years due to Meds but I finally went off one and was able to set things up so I have a more than four hour gap after drinking tonight without that feeling like it's going to kill my fun.

I expect to be a lightweight. My plan is to start writing once I find everything hilarious and love everyone. I haven't written anything but drabbles in ages and I haven't written pron since 2018 or so... So I hope the liquid courage will melt away my shyness because I have ideas!

Next time this is on, I'll shop ahead and make sure I have all the alcohol ahead of time.

The plan was to have margarita's with friends for lunch but checking Covid for this area said there were a lot of cases so no thank you. I haven't made it this long worsening the agoraphobia I was being treated for by never leaving the house to go out and get covid now.

[sdk]

I hear you! I've been mostly in my home for the past two years. But it is nice to hang out with everyone virtually and have a couple drinks and some laughs. :)

Fireball whisky sounds nice!! I am lightweight too so I have to pace myself, lol.

My plan is to start writing once I find everything hilarious and love everyone.
AN excellent, excellent plan!!

[ride_4ever]

Is "just" Dad the prompt...or is the prompt that "Dad poem" you posted to this comm earlier?

Gonna read some of the starting comments, then I'll be posting drink!comments....

[sdk]

"Dad" is the prompt but if you want to use that poem for inspiration, go for it! :D We're super flexible here.

[lightofdaye]

*waves*

Wasn't sure If I was going to take part. Not much of a drinker, but then the post is here and I also don't want to miss out you know?

How's everyone doing?

[sdk]

Heyyy! Nice to see you and glad you could make it!

[tjs_whatnot]

I have some Jameson's Cold Brew that I'll be mixing with Bailey's. Super Irish over here.

And whose idea was it to get us drunk and writing about Arthur Weasley and plugs?!? I feel this is not going to end well!

[sdk]

Ooooh that sounds delicious!!

Must have been those silly mods. Who knows what's going on in their brains? XD

[dani_meows]

The worst part of writing is the starting sentence. Can I just skip to the fun part?

No this is coherant not drunk enough. Goes to get another drink.

[glittering_git]

big mood! I may start with a shot of something to get me started haha

one shot down

[oldtoadwoman]

I've got the first shot of rum in my tummy (watere ddown a touch wtih a diet coke)!

160-ish words written!

Re: one shot down

[digthewriter]

NICE.

[digthewriter]

I ate a salad and sipped a burbon. i am ready to go. i don't know how to spell 'bourboun?' bourbon? lol

eta. i opened a scrivener and clicked off 'check spelling as u type' so no cheating for me or whatever.

[sdk]

Woohoo! You know spelling doesn't matter a whit here, haha :D

[torino10154]

OK, I've gone and fetched my kid. Now I am grabbing food and then I'll catch up with all the comments I've missed!!!! :/

[sdk]

Wooohoo welcome back!! \o/

330 words and 2 1/2 drinks in

[oldtoadwoman]

Progress? no hint of a plot yet thogh

Re: 330 words and 2 1/2 drinks in

[torino10154]

We're supposed to have a plit? :/

[ruinsplume]

hi friends! I am here and am forgoing my usual fwf tequila for WINE! We'll see how it goes. How's everyone doing?

[torino10154]

Welcome, welcome. I've only had a couple sips of booze so far but I am already warming up. LOL

[sdk]

Oh I just now opened my bottle of Jack and it smells heavenly... how I have missed you.

[torino10154]

Shelly+Jack=OTP ♥

[lightofdaye]

i'm 3-4 drinks in. Turns out that usign a mixer like lemondae for rum is muh netter htan just watering it down

on the oter hand i'm in a suitably not able to type state which isn't very fair from m y normal state tbh

[ruinsplume]

you're in the sweet spot!

[lq_traintracks]

I have opened a bottle of rosé. We'll see what happens! :D

[ruinsplume]

HIIIIII so good to see you!!!!!

[ruinsplume]

I have typed all of four words and I'm cracking myself up so I think it's time to get going

[glittering_git]

I just opened the doc! here we go lol

[mywitch]

I have an idea but the characters won;t stop bullshitting about everything else goign on so I hope I can get to tehgoods soon. One highball injested! woohoo! damn that's good whisky. glug glug glug

[glittering_git]

woo you got this

♥

[oldtoadwoman]

Three shots in. Still no plot. I think I'm giving up on a plot.

Re: ♥

[glittering_git]

what is a plot??!!!

[glittering_git]

I am here and the doc is open and honestly I feel like the hardest part of this is going to be trying to respond correctly to the right dw thread eek

[sdk]

bahahah same omg, same

[dani_meows]

I haven't written anything in years so I don;'t know what the fine like is between drunk and bad. But I'm gonna have another whiskey and keep on with the porn...er plot. No it's porn. Really bad porn

[sdk]

listen if you can't write bad porn for fwf then when can you? I plan on getting all my bad porn out tonight!

[songquake]

OKAY! I'm finally here, though I read some comments just after 5p on my phone...and then discovered that I'd never transfered the DW password to my phone when I had to get a new one after dropping mine in a lake where I was kayaking this fall /o\

But I am here now, ready with my bourbon and ginger ale and several bottles of wine should the amount of bourbon I've got on hand not suffice to keep me buzzed enough for a FWF with SIX THEMES. (Does it have to be DAD or could I make a DADDY fic?)

ALLLLSO. I'm glad that I haven't actually started drinking yet because it seems I'd just forgotten my password altogether. Apparently I reset it sometime last year?

[glittering_git]

YES HELLo!! I was thinking the exact same thing as you so great minds and all that

[corvidology]

Time to eat bratwurst then to drink... Erm... *sniggers*

[glittering_git]

Bratwurst sounds so good. I'm jealous
