Ready? Ready....
Welcome to the 'It's 5 o'clock Somewhere' edition offirewhiskeyfic! We, your Mods - sdk and 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!

Re: ouzo?
Date: 2022-07-02 11:14 pm (UTC)But damn, I haven't been to Greektown in years either and some of my fave Greek restaurants there have closed since then.

Date: 2022-07-02 05:57 pm (UTC)My neighbor across the street about 15 years ago was Greek. Boy, did she make some delicious food over the years.

Date: 2022-07-02 06:44 pm (UTC)I remember how my classmates had sambucca by the water-glass on a study trip to Rome in high school...I'm not sure, though, that that's how you're supposed to be drinking it. ;)
And absinthe sadly has this edgelord-reputation. No, you're not supposed to lit it on fire. No, you don't go insane drinking it. But sitting there diluting it with water and a sugar cube might make you feel very bohemian. ;)
And yes, it's my second time participating. :) I have a discussion up thread about the meaning of the lyrics of Korpiklaani's Viinaäen Mies...perhaps you could help us out? :)
