Ready? Ready....

Welcome to the 'It's 5 o'clock Somewhere' 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 today. Feel free to friend us on DW. We promise not to stalk you... much. :D

Putting this note at the top: This round is a bit different. A marathon rather than a sprint. The pace will probably be a little slower, less intense than our usual events. Hopefully, someone will be around when you arrive but don't despair if it's quiet at times throughout the day.

Your challenges for this month are:

Madam Rosmerta and/or Aberforth Dumbledore

Hog's Head

Marathon

Insomnia

Forced Proximity

One Too Many


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. We 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 actors or musicians, the state of the world (a nice, safe topic LOL), 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 though we're getting more diversity, we're still fairly HP-focused. 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, July 4th. Voting will begin on July 5th and last until Saturday, July 9th.

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!

Torino and Shelly both plan to be around for most of the day though we will be popping in and out as required by that dastardly fiend, Real Life. BOO! Also, to make sure we don't get alcohol poisoning. And perhaps for a nap. LOL

Let's get our drunk on!

Well i'm not particularly a drinker but I was sort of morally obliged if you were doing it especially early for us in other time zones ;)

tech stories

"Do you know how to refresh your browser window? Usually that fixes it."

As an added twist, I'm mainly doing tech support for small children so the answer to that question is sometimes "no" so my follow-up is "Is there someone there you can ask?" (The other day the answer to that was, "My grandma is asleep and my twin brother is also 9 and can't help.")

Oh I was just teasing! But yeah! Luckily my typing's bad enough normally it doesn't take much!

mimosas?

I dumped a bag of frozen blueberries into a plastic container and covered it in peach schnapps. So by the time I'm off work, I'll have snacks & booze combined ready. I also planned ahead and have a can of pineapple that will get used in some way today.

Due to the Tour de France starting in my country, I decided to not begin drinking until it was actually 5 p.m. here. And made an (unintentional) strong start because I wasn't aware exactly what my cocktails' measuring cup measured, so I made a double White Russian (or should I call it "White Magic"? A festival here decided to rename that and its sister drink to "White Magic" and "Black Magic")
Anyways, that means I've soon had three of them. Still no ideas for fic, though. Will have dinner (with water!) soon. I don't want to hit the wall before midnight, after all. There are drinks to be had!
(Because of the summer and the Tour, there are Skittles-shots and pre-mixed dark'n'stormy, gin & mango smash and mojito awaiting me)

I'm honestly surprised at how well the kids deal with tech. I think I'd rather deal with with the kid than the grandma most times anyway.

My biggest duty isn't even really technical support today (it could happen, but unlikely), it's mostly assigning people to the correct "rooms" when they log-in, uploading which worksheets they are supposed to be working on, and then jumping in as a substitute instructor if extra students show up unexpectedly. (We have a couple of parents who seem to think the schedule is just a suggestion.) And it's slow enough today that if that happens, I can still assign one more student to another instructor before I have to help out.

It's so tempting to go, "They don't really need me today, I could start drunk-ficcing now"... but if they do need me, it's important that I retain my ability to type accurately so ... still sober and bored.

And when I say it's slow today... I literally have more instructors than students online for the next half hour so one of my guys is just twiddling his thumbs too.

It's super yummy and if you let it sit for awhile (which is why I started prepping when I made my coffee) the fruit soaks up the booze and the booze takes on the fruit juice and it's just YUM.

music?

Hee! This is literally why I asked. I mostly listen to the same stuff over and over and over again. It's so exciting when I trip over a new favorite song (which I will then play to death as well).

Skittles?

[personal profile] oldtoadwoman 2022-07-02 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)

I wanna know what Skittles-shots are. Shots that taste like Skittles? Shots with actual Skittles in them?
