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!

I, too, somehow felt more encouraged, if not seriously obliged to take part because of the schedule (after I haven't felt motivated to do much on the journals recently). I'm not much of a drinker either, but this week I've got some pain on my right shoulder and I thought I'd do badly enough if I chose to type only with my left hand. :)

It really nails the 80s. (And ironically when I was young I was a total wimp so 80s-me never could have handled the horror aspect of the show.) And I'm the exact age to go, "Yup, I went to school with that guy ... and that guy ... and her and ... " If the setting were more realistic, I wouldn't enjoy the show at all, but it's just over-the-top enough to not hit any of my 80s squicks.

Yes, this is the easy enough mixture for me to concoct: ouzo and water! A few months ago a fellow writer's mention (reply to my rhetorical question in praise for a fic: How do you do this!) made me remember my old favourite drink, the anise taste I fell in love with back when I often visited Greece.

I have a Spotify-playlist that's very aptly named "Random". It is truly random, you'll find everything from bluegrass to black metal, to 80's pop to contemporary Danish pop, to Norwegian satire and "Polish punk" (that is neither Polish nor punk, but just drunk Danes). Here you go: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/64IMplstJLOJCQcKpC6rua?si=f1be0510b7b54859

Actually, there's even a random musical number ("Ostesangen", from the musical "Skatteøen", which is about Ben Gunn's desire to have cheese after all these years where he's been marooned), English pagan folk ("Spirit of Albion"), Scottish pirate metal ("Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship") and techno-folk (Sorten Muld with "2 Søstre").
Enjoy, I guess?

Mmm, ouzo, Not that far from pastis, which reminds me of visiting Alsace and Jura with my parents when I was a teen. :) And absinthe, the edgy relative of pastis.
Why don't I have any absinthe? :'( Must acquire some for the next FWF. It's also an autumn-y drink, in a way.

Excellent! Thank you!

(The first thing that came up in shuffle mode was "Viinamäen Mies".)

Yes! I tried it at a party when I was younger and lived at a hall of residence. But it's not until now I really have the money to just buy two bottles of vodka for this experiment (alcohol is relatively expensive where I live).
Plus, teh pretteh, haha. It's very decorative with the bright colours.

That is so incredibly fitting for tonight! It means "Booze Hill Man" in Finnish, haha.
And apparently (I'm not Finnish), the lyrics are about stumbling home drunk through the forest and falling into said booze hill.
Perhaps [personal profile] paulamcg can help us. :)

Not off to a good start. I've been trying to post to the comm since FWF opened about an hour ago. Got several crash-dumps in a row and lost the comments I was writing every time.

Looks like this time it's going to post.

Off to mix my first cocktail of the day. Back soon!

Thanks, I tried googling a translation and Google very helpfully told me that "Viinamäen" means "Viinamäki" in English. Seriously, Google?

Pics?

I'd love to see how that turned out.

Oh no! Is the whole internet hiccuping for you or just Dreamwidth?

Yeah, that doesn't really explain anything, haha. Korpiklaani made a video for the English-language version that apparently shows what happens in the Finnish-language song (because they're not the same lyrics, according to the Finnish fans).

You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia39lwHvPCE

I learnt to love ouzo in Greece, and I've been happy to learn that there are other drinks not that far from it, but I've never tasted those. And happy to see you here! :)
