"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.

[corvidology]

Think I'm going to put the header and my AO3 name at the start of the doc before I start drinking.

[sdk]

Always a good plan LOL

[corvidology]

Just realized I can't answer most of the questions yet and I'm still sober. :D

I think I'm going to get started a bit later.

[sdk]

Yeah I'm going to have some dinner first and then start drinking properly and get a bit loosened up before I attempt anything lol

♥

[oldtoadwoman]

Thank you for the reminder! I nearly forgot the header entirely.

Re: ♥

[sdk]

Always a valid drunk choice, lol, but once we sober up, we'll definitely appreciate having a header XD

[ride_4ever]

Good idea -- I'm going to do that now before I mix my first Moscow Mules. *heads off to open a doc*

Oh, wait, I just realized you said "AO3 name" so I'm pointing out that the mods asked for "DW name".

[corvidology]

Luckily, it's the same name. :D

Oooh, Moscow Mules, now there's a thought. I'm not quite ready to start the drinking yet so I still have time to decide.

[ride_4ever]

Happy to see you here, friend from other comms!

Time to drink up!

[corvidology]

*squishes you* *tops your drink* <--- that looks weird in connection to fandom. :D

[ride_4ever]

Heh, subtext! Topping!

[corvidology]

When it comes to drinks, I always top!

[ride_4ever]

And is the last sip "topping from the bottom"? LOL.

[torino10154]

ROFL!! :D

[dani_meows]

*giggles*

[oldtoadwoman]

I wanna date a bartender. I love cocktails, but when firewhiskey rolls around, I never manage to have the proper ingredients on hand. (I'm going with rum-n-coke, not because I prefer it, but because I'm too lazy to figure anything else out today.)

Re: ♥

[corvidology]

I have a ridiculous amount of liquor and liquers on hand. I really like to make cocktails!

[paulamcg]

Ah so fancy! And I drank only ale! Next time...

[lightofdaye]

You know just reading the titles made me think 'are they going to be reccommending the supe r expensive ones'?

[torino10154]

Undobutedly. Or shit absolutely no one just has on hand.

[tjs_whatnot]

It's funny that Pimm's Cup is on both lists and Sazerac is on one too. Clearly none of these bartenders are from New Orleans. These drinks are EVERYWHERE down there.

[corvidology]

I'm birtish = Pimms cup ride on the DNA!

[digthewriter]

nICE. I am an old fashioned person but i do like dark and stormy too.
