Does it hurt terribly, Draco?*

[sdk]

Welcome to the Spring Fling 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:

Pansy Parkinson

April Showers

Greenhouse 3

Wolfsbane

Under the Stars

Bird's Nest

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. From now on, 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, your love/hate relationship with the change of the season, plans you may have been putting off for the last 2+ years, 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 Sunday, April 24th. Voting will begin on April 25th and last until Friday, April 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!

Shelly is getting us started with a nice bottle of Prosecco and Torino is chatting for a bit but not drinking until later as she's double-booked herself. Hooray! 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!

*Yes, this is the only inoffensive Pansy Parkinson quote we could find. Possibly why we've both embraced fanon Pansy!

That leaves A LOT of options open, bb. ;)

[lq_traintracks]

Like a G6 is on. All bets are off. LOL.

[lq_traintracks]

I need to copy in those headers like NOW. LOLOL.

[maraudersaffair]

Just looked up the drink! It sounds so refreshing!!

Re: woot!!!!

[maraudersaffair]

pretty kitty <3 <3

[lq_traintracks]

Wait, Bikini Kill. That's cooler. Can I change my answer?? :DDD

[sdk]

noooo you can't! Because I had to go find Like a G6 and listen to it after you said that, LOLOL.

[lq_traintracks]

Okay worth it! :D ♥

[corvidology]

It is and perhaps goes down a little too easily. It's not *quite* as lethal as a Zombie. :D

[corvidology]

I did that last time so the first part of mine was coherent... and the last part not so much. :D

[maraudersaffair]

a zombie looks good too! but there's a lot of rum ... haha

[lq_traintracks]

Lord, I've sunk to a new low. I was in a gdoc, but I needed to naviaget navigate (geez) to my FWF, and I couldn't find it and I was like OMG. Where is it??? I was in it. Jesus.

*facepalm*

[corvidology]

Where did all the rum go?

In the cocktails!

[sdk]

Ahahahahaha, omg, I am dying lolololololol

[a_belladonna]

I've now put on my Spotify "Random" playlist (which really just is the playlist where I'll add whatever song catches my fancy). The current song is "Drink with the living dead" by Ghoultown, in case anybody needs a bit more inspiration. ;)

[lq_traintracks]

I wish I were kidding. :DDDDD

[a_belladonna]

Sounds like a good idea! It's definitely getting a little late here (almost 2am at GMT+1, and I guess I'll just try and finish whatever I'm writing right now, because I'm really tired now).

[corvidology]

You have arrived at your destination. Please leave the train and take all your alcohol with you.

[sdk]

Oh gosh, yeah that's late! I tend to pass out before 11 on FWF nights!

[lq_traintracks]

LMAO.

Just got home from work and opened my first alcohol of the evening ("Sweet Melody Chocolate Red Wine" from Pahrump Valley Winery in Pahrump, Nevada) and I see there are over 100 comments here already. I remember that last FWF I spent hours reading and responding to comments before I started ficcing. I'm gonna read and respond to comments for at least as long as it takes me to drink this whole bottle of wine. After that...???

Why this particular bottle of wine has such fannish meaning and such memories for me: at the fancon Escapade in California, before COVID, two of my friends who along with me were known as the "Wine Cabal" would host fannish wine-tastings as one of the panels of the con. After a few years of doing that, in the year 2019 we were at the fancon Con*Strict in Nevada and after the con we three went on a wineries tour in Pahrump, which is where I bought several bottles of this "Sweet Melody" wine. Arriving at the last bottle, bound up as it was with my wonderful memories of Con*Strict and of the wineries tour and of it having been one of my last two pre-COVID cons, I was saving it for "special-occasion fannish drinking". And is FWF "special-occasion fannish drinking"? HELL YES!

Re: woot!!!!

[ride_4ever]

*drools*

[sdk]

Yay you have escaped the evil work and made it to the party! \o/

Oh, that is such a lovely story. We're honored you saved such a special bottle of wine for FWF night! And also, sweet melody chocolate red wine just sounds delicious, yum.

[maraudersaffair]

aww I love this. I hope you enjoy your wine <3

I'm from Nevada and I'm homesick, so it was nice to hear somebody talk about Pahrump
