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!

better get on that! She might give you lots of money in exchange for some very reasonable expense money.

Did she want advice on how best to get drunk? Sounds like a very stressful job! (or was this the start of her drunk fic?)

Yeah, I don't like my booze to taste like booze so I'm very fond of sweet concoctions. (Last round I was doing butterscotch schnapps and vanilla ice cream which is AMAZING but it's hard to get enough booze by volume in me that way.)

Hello, and thank you for arranging this, dear mods, and thank you all for being around so early! I'm one of those who've usually been ready for bed by the time most people arrive, and here I am – one hour late! Just poured my first drink: ouzo. Haven't quite found my way to Hogsmeade yet :D

Re: music?

[personal profile] oldtoadwoman 2022-07-02 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)

I'm currently listening to my "Upside Down Playlist" on Spotify for a little variety. (Spotify does a shuffle of your most played songs interspersed with 80s music.) But I'm finding that I'm not actually that nostalgic for 80s music. I think part of what I find amusing about Strangers Things is that my teen years were a bit of a horror show so it's like, "Yup, yup, this is pretty much exactly how I remember it."

ouzo?

[personal profile] oldtoadwoman 2022-07-02 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)

I've never had ouzo. I've always been curious, but never quite brave enough to try. It sounds ... interesting.

I'm sooooo glad to see so many of you around when I arrive - a bit late myself but still well before my bedtime, for once!

Somewhere there's a nigerian prince trying to rid himself of his fortune and very confused why no-one will return his emails.

I still can't deal of a lot of people at once either (and won't be able to, in so-called real life, because of my multi-chemical sensitivity). That's why it's particularly wonderful to see people around here before my bedtime. :) Thank you!

Oh yeah, of course! I'm really glad we could do this. Time zones just suck.

Hmm. I've got a new blender and vanilla ice cream, and some fruit or berries could make the drink healthy... But I'm afraid I'll be lazy and continue to mix only ouzo and water. :)

I love ouzo—though the way I learned to drink it when I was on vacation in Greece is with some water, which creates a really neat clouding effect. But anise liquor? YES, PLEASE.

Ahaha, hey now, don't put so much pressure on us :P

Re: Skittles?

[personal profile] a_belladonna 2022-07-02 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the latter, more or less: You sort the Skittles after colour and pour vodka on them in the ratio of about 1 part Skittles, 2 parts vodka. Let it draw for about 24 hours, strain it, and voilà, colourful vodka that tastes like Skittles. :)
I used two bags of Skittles, so each colour needed about 1-1½ dl vodka. So I'm obviously not drinking it all tonight, haha.

LMAO, that's the spirit, Mom!

Yes! As you said, it's a marathon, not a sprint. ;)

And what was it about decorative cyclists that you mentioned the other day?
