sdk: two wine glasses clinking together (gen - wine glass clink)
[personal profile] sdk posting in [community profile] firewhiskeyfic
Welcome to the Spring Fling edition of [community profile] firewhiskeyfic! We, your Mods - [personal profile] sdk and [personal profile] 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)




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!

Yeah, I do know how that went. I had to roll over fancon regs from 2020 to 2021 and then from 2021 to 2022. I'm going to Con*Strict this summer, but I still rolled over some of those 2022s to 2023.

What's the story on your son having chosen Greece to visit?

Yeah, they thought maybe 2021 as well but that quickly was obviously not gonna happen.

So.... These teachers from one of the schools my kids went to started organizing overseas trips, primarily for 8-11th grade students. My daughter went to England, Scotland and a quick stop in Paris for her trip between 10th-11th grade. She also did Costa Rica as her graduation present. ANYWAY lol we wanted him to go but he's a bit pickier tbh and I knew Greece or Italy was probably the most likely one he'd want to go on--big on those classical eras--so when they offered it summer before his senior year it seemed perfect. We've been waiting a long time for it.

I think there's something about an "era" with these travels for young people. when I was in high school in the 1970s I did not know one single grade school or high school person travelling abroad. In recent years (other than COVID years) it seems to have become practically a norm.

(Gah. I am still so coherent. Well, about to finish my first bottle of wine and move on to the bottle of artisanal barley ale.)

I was fortunate to go on a trip myself at 16, to the Soviet Union but my mom, who had gone on trips in her youth including Egypt in the mid-60s, probably helped facilitate that. But yeah it's also big business of course. Lol

I'm about an hour from home and somehow can't imagine I'll have it in me to write tonight.

Travelled to Canada on family vacation when I was in grade school, sparking a lifelong love of Canada. Didn't travel again until I went to Israel when I was in my mid-20s. Alas, my spouse hates travel, so even though partnered, when I travel I'm a solo traveller.

Hope you still have it in you to write fic tonight, but even if you don't, you have done such service to this comm by being its cohost!

I did a trip like that to Canada, too! We'd moved and met up with our old neighbors in Banff when I was 8 or 9.

And thanks. I'm excited to see what everyone has come up with.

Whoah! Are you saying that you used to live in Banff...or am I finally drunk enough to misconstrue comments?

Lol I guess you're getting there. No, we met up in Banff. We drove from San Diego, where I'd moved, and they drove from Ohio where we'd lived before.

And Banff because why?

Note icon: yes, I think I'm finally not sober.

Hmm, I don't know exactly why but I'm guessing because it's a gorgeous place all parties involved wanted to visit.

Lol yay. Congrats. 🍷🍹
