Firewhiskeyfic: Spring Fling Edition

[torino10154]

Firewhiskeyfic is FRIDAY the 22nd! (So don't start drinking yet! Though we'll understand if you do. LOL)

“It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want—oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” ― Mark Twain

For this round, we highly recommend 18 Spring Cockatails!

Perhaps a cherry blossom...



Or a lovely bluebonnet...



The festivities will begin at 10PM BST/5PM EDT/2PM PDT on Friday, April 22! Hopefully, the time works for you but remember that you can come and go as you please, start early, leave late. It's all good as long as while you are writing, you're drinking. :D

We are hosting on our DW community again this round. If you do not have a DW account (yet *g*), you should be able to comment with OpenID or anonymously.


Your Prompts!

Pansy Parkinson

April Showers

Greenhouse 3

Wolfsbane

Under the Stars

Bird's Nest

A rundown of the rules. A more thorough explanation will be posted on the night of the event.


1. This round will take place on Friday, April 22nd, 10PM BST/5PM EDT/2PM PDT (and last until you finish or pass out). Due to sucky time zones mucking everything up, if you'd like to start earlier or later, that's fine!

2. Your fic and/or art will be due approximately 48 hours from the challenge start time. For this round, that means Sunday, April 24 by midnight your time. (We would prefer to turn them in the same night or the next morning, but we understand drunk/hangover emailing might be a tad too challenging.)

Please note: The extra time provided may not be used for editing or adding on or fixing typos, etc. (If you were too drunk to add a header, please add one when sober. ;)) Also note: NO BETAS ALLOWED. We recommend you don't even look at or reread your submission before turning it in. (You can be surprised right along with the rest of us!)

3. Submissions will be posted anonymously on April 25th and voting will be open for various categories through Friday, April 29th. Please vote! (But not for yourself! :P)

4. All fandoms are welcome! We're traditionally very HP-focused here, but if you get inspired to go Marvel or Supernatural or Doctor Who, etc., etc. (or a crossover!) that's totally fine.

5. And finally, you must be of legal drinking age in your country in order to participate.

New!!
6. This is a 420-friendly event for those who'd like an alternative to alcohol.

Email submissions, questions, comments, drunken ramblings to: fwfdrunkmods@gmail.com

Again, Friday, April 22nd at 10PM BST/5PM EDT/2PM PDT. We hope to see you there!

April Showers was also a theme exactly 10 years ago, and helped me create this classic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/734760

Warning: watersports and desecration of childhood traditions.

[torino10154]

Glad I'm not the only one whose mind jumps immediately to watersports!! I shall check that out later.

And if we're going to repeat a theme, I'm glad it's been 10 years. A bit embarrassing when it's more recent.

[songquake]

I remember the prompt because of the utterly unhinged fic that resulted.

And yes, a repeat after 10 years (10 years!) demonstrates great novelty in our community!

[lightofdaye]

Alas, it being close to my birthday and my family being about I probably won't take part.

Love Pansy being the theme character though! :)

[torino10154]

We throw a birthday party for you and you can't come? D:

Seriously though, that's a bummer but understandable!! Hope you have a great time with the fam.

[lightofdaye]

Aww, I feel guilty now :(

[torino10154]

NOOOOO!!! I'm just teasing you. <3

And guess what, I am double-booked myself. EXCELLENT HOSTESS! :/

[lightofdaye]

What can you be doing that's as important as fwf? and can it be done drunk? Multi-task! ;)

[torino10154]

P has a performance--but it's 2 hours in the car each way so I think I'm going to be able to chat with folks for a bit in each direction but the drinking part is the problem. If I'm feeling up to it, I might try to drink/write when I get back. I didn't want to postpone the event because the other options weren't much better for me.

[corvidology]

I just announced to a passing MG that I will be drunk next Friday night to which the response was HUH? face.

Then I mentioned the FWF and understanding was achieved. :D

[ride_4ever]

Oh, so MG's response wasn't "What's new"? LOL.

[corvidology]

I often have social plans but not normally advance plans to get drunk! :D

[ride_4ever]

Ah, now I get it -- it's the part about the getting drunk being planned in advance.

[torino10154]

LOL! Excellent. :D

[mywitch]

Eeeek! I may have to miss this one - but also maybe not. I'll be arriving in Mexico right around drinking time, so I'll have to see how it pans out. Either way, so excited to see this happening again!!!

[torino10154]

Ah, that sounds awesome! Get yourself settled, acquire a margarita and then come and make us all jealous. ;)
