"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 just had a pickleback and am now having a margarita! (i know these don't really go together pls don't judge me!!)

[sdk]

what is a pickleback?? I can't decide if I'm intrigued or some other word I can't think of right now

[glittering_git]

haha it's a shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice and it is DELICIOUS!! (I would drink straight pickle juice (and do) so take it with a grain of salt haha)

[sdk]

omg I can't even! I mean, I want to try it? But also I am scared??? If I had picklejuice, I might but I don't right now but I'm sooo intrigued what that tastes like together.

[glittering_git]

it's so good!! I promise you! you can't use nice whiskey tho. you need the bite from shitty whiskey and then the sharp sour of the pickle juice

[mywitch]

Oh shiz, I need to try that. I love pickles and whiskey...

[glittering_git]

come join the dark side!! you'll love it if you love those things :)))

[lq_traintracks]

Mad respect right now. Awe even.

[oldtoadwoman]

I just had to google "pickleback" and now I'm debating whether I want to do that.

Re: ♥

[glittering_git]

join me!! it's so good!!!!!!!!!!!

[ride_4ever]

Only judging so far as to say that sounds delightful to ME! *chug chug*

[glittering_git]

thank you for being so supportive and encouraging 😘

[ride_4ever]

It's my fannish duty to be so supportive and encouraging...plus srsly that sounded good to me...which says a lot about what an adventurous drinker I am. *g*

[glittering_git]

you're so wweet! (I'm also an dadvnetuours drinker and that's a really fun thing

[ride_4ever]

How are you about blue drinks (i.e., made with curacao blue liqueur)? They are tasty but also I <3 them because blue and they make me think of a due South fic about blue lube LOL.

[glittering_git]

I also adore blue drinks! one time i got a blue drink, but they left out the curacao and I was so sad :(((

[ride_4ever]

Oh noes! They left out the curacao? How could they?! Did you send it back for the proper mix?

Depending on whether or not you live in the U.S. you may or may not understand the drink name, but one of the blue cocktails I've had is called a "Windex".

Hey, I saw in your DW profile that you call yourself "the patron saint of the blond and brunet trope," so I want to point out that my OTP in my primary and forever fandom (due South) is a brunet and a blond" *points to icon*

[glittering_git]

No :(( I just accepted it as is. I do live in the US but I don't thinkn I've heard of that! what's in it?

and yes ahah I do! and I love that for you! (and for me!) does this mean I need to get into it haha?!

[ride_4ever]

Ha ha! Windex! It's a glass-cleaning product and it's bright blue!

Here's another pic of my brunet and blond OTP...and oh yay I appreciate you for spelling it right! Drives me crazy when someone is writing about male-gendered characters and uses "brunette and blonde" instead of "brunet and blond".

Here's a poem I wrote in 2015 about them plus a blonde woman: Blond on Blonde...on Brunet. Link goes to AO3.
