To Harry Potter - the boy who lived!

[sdk]

Welcome to the July 2017 Harry Potter 20th Anniversary edition of firewhiskeyfic! We, your Mods - sdk and 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.

Your challenges for this month are:

Harry Potter

Mirror of Erised

Room of Requirement

Anniversary

"What do you mean, I'm not brave in bed?"

Incorporate one or more into your fic/art somehow, and you're good to go!

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.

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, m'kay?

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 noon on Monday, July 24th. Voting will begin later that evening and last until Saturday July 29th at midnight.

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)
<b>Title:</b> <b>Author:</b> <b>I am of legal drinking age in my region:</b> (yes/no) <b>Pairing(s)/Characters/Fandom:</b> <b>Challenge:</b> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Rating/Warnings:</b> <b>Word count:</b> <b>Author's Notes (if any):</b>

In order to make things easiest on your poor, likely hungover mods, please put your DW or LJ 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!

Please do not discuss your fic/art. You can discuss ideas, drinks, how wasted you are, your favorite scene in the books, what the movies got right (or wrong), 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.

Shelly's starting off with Redd's Apple Ale while Torino will be arriving late but has gin chilling. How about you folks?

Let's get your drunk on!

yay! It begins. Time to crack open the rum.

Book Scenes

[lightofdaye]

Favourite scenes in books? Ooh so many. McGonagell being awesome is up there.

Ron getting between Harry and Sirius at the end of PoA

And to go shippy. Harry and Luna at the end of OoTP and Luna instantly recognising Harry at Bill and Fleur's wedding despite him being polyjuiced into looking like some random muggle.

Unfortunately I have to eat first while I have my first drink or else I'll get sick before I get drunk, lol.

[lq_traintracks]

Woooohoooo! I bought a fresh bottle of tequila today. I haven't quite started yet, but I'm gearing up! :D Have beer and lots of it for back-up! \o/

Gosh I love these prompts. Time to drink, put my music on, and get going!

[torino10154]

Hey all. Just got done with a funeral, getting ready to have dinner with the family and friends. Can't wait to get home and have a drink... in a couple hours. Cheers!

[digthewriter]

SOBER af RIGHT NOW b/c @ work then going to the pub for a charity event.

Drunk fic will be written at 10 pm EST.

[ashiiblack]

OMG you guys are starting so early! It's not even 2:30PM over here.

I've got my whiskey ready for when it's time though!

[alisanne]

Frozen margaritas are ready to go, water is cued up.
Now all I have to do is open a document and stare at it for a while get cracking!

[evandar]

I'll be a bit late because I've just finished work, but there's wine in the fridge waiting for me :D

[shaddyr]

I have been thinking about this all week! I am still sober and still at work for 2.5 more hours. I bought all the fixins for candy apple martinis last weekk in anticipation of this.

Y'all have a drink for me while I slog through the rest of my workday, kay?

[lq_traintracks]

Woooo 340 words! \o/ Two shots down. No telling how many typos. O_o

[reg_flint]

I have to skip this one as I have no booze.
:-(((((

[kiertorata]

Totally forgot about this, and it's around 2 AM where I live. But I just took 3 shots and should be good to go in a moment! :DD

[lq_traintracks]

I think I drank too fast, I'ts' 6:30 here and I'm like whuu?

2,450 words though/ LOL! What am I even writing!?!?!

[alisanne]

Okay, so I think I;m done. I can't think of anything wlse to write. :/

LOL. Now what do I do?
I guess I drink more to keep everyone else company? *g*

[evandar]

I'm beginning to curse my alcohol tolerance because I'm remarkably sober for someone who's halfway through a second bottle of wine. The only noticeable effect it's having is the fucking run-on sentences of death!

[ruinsplume]

HI, everyone! Is anyone still here? I just got here. I wasn't going to play, but am feeling much, much better than I was this morning, when I was weepy and writer's blocked. Lucky for me the block went away and I finished a scene on a WIP that was dogging me, and then had a drink with my partner (we, I drank, they sat there and watched me). We had a great conversation and I ended up writing a poem that has the words "feminist" and "cock" prominently featured, so you know that's a winner, right? Anyway, I appear to be way too sober. I'm having a second drink just now, and have to see what the prompts are. Did anyone else just arrive?
Say hi to me!

Also, this is really the perfect introvert's party. You get to talk only when you want to, there's plenty of booze, and when it gets to be too much social stimulation, you can retreat into your porn. That is really my Platonic IDEAL of a social event.

Finally on board, remembered while reading others' comments that I needed to cut and paste the header into my document first, then went crazy trying to figure out how to disable the spelling autocorrect (stupid Word!).

I'm drinking bourbon in lemonade. Lots of ice. And I have so much Crystal Light and so much Bulleit that I should be good for a godo while!

[shaddyr]

Late to the party. Work is done. I am now pouring tasty cocktails and attempting to come up with equally tasty story ideas. Well. There will be tasty cocktails in any case...

[vengeance_on_ice]

Hello Lovelies!

I have just got home from work, so I am waiting for dinner to come out of the oven and then I will be joining you all in attempting to make my drunken ramblings resemble something like a story with actual plot and characters.

For starters, I have a shit-ton of alcohol that my sister gave me in the garage, plus all the stuff on the top of my fridge that I should drink at some point. I think I will begin with vodka and lemonade, neither of which actually belong to me, but my roommates ate all my bananas and haven't bought me any more so fuck them. Also, I doubt they'll even notice.

Who else is still here? Living on the West Coast really puts a cramp in my style when it comes to FWF; I can't start drinking early like some kind of lush when I'm being a responsible with an actual job. Or pretending to be, anyway.

[ruinsplume]

How I konw I'm drunk:

I decided I wasn't drunk enough (three shots of tequila/soda/lime/ agave in) and went down to make a fourth drink. Made the drink and drank it. wondered why I wasn't feeling any drunker. Realized I ahd forgotten to put in the tequila.

GAH

[ashiiblack]

Finally getting started!

Four shots of whiskey here I come!

[ruinsplume]

I have a kinky kinky mind. That is all.

[torino10154]

HELLO EVERYONE! I'm home, have had a lovely gin & tonic, and plan to write THEN try and comment a bit. <3

[vengeance_on_ice]

Update: I have eaten my dinner, drank half of my first vodka lemondae, pasted in the header, and turned off the spellcheck and autocorrect on my notes thingy that I'm writing in. I refuse to use MSword. It is a pain in the ass when I'm sober and haven't had a long week. I'm half drunk and exhausted from this week of madness. I shall prevail. Wrod writing is commencing!
