“In the dark shadow of the grove, on the margin of the brook, he beheld something huge, misshapen, black, and towering. It stirred not, but seemed gathered up in the gloom, like some gigantic monster ready to spring upon the traveller.” -The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Firewhiskeyfic is SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1! (So don't start drinking yet! Though we'll understand if you do.)

For this round, we highly recommend... 25 Best Fall Cocktails



Sleepy Hollow Cocktail with Absinthe!

Or perhaps....



Sleepy Hollow Cocktail with cranberry!

The festivities will begin at 9PM BST/4PM EDT/1PM PDT on Saturday, October 1! Hopefully, the time works for you but remember that you can come and go as you please, start early, leave late. It's all good as long as while you are writing, you're drinking. :D

We are hosting on our DW community again this round. If you do not have a DW account (yet *g*), you should be able to comment with OpenID or anonymously.

Your Prompts!

Nearly Headless Nick

Godric's Hollow

Jack-o'-lantern

Graveyard

Harvest Party

Bewitch

A rundown of the rules. A more thorough explanation will be posted on the night of the event.


1. This round will take place on Saturday, October 1, 9PM BST/4PM EDT/1M PDT (and last until you finish or pass out). Due to sucky time zones mucking everything up, if you'd like to start earlier or later, that's fine!

2. Your fic and/or art will be due approximately 48 hours from the challenge start time. For this round, that means Monday, October 3rd by midnight your time. (We would prefer to turn them in the same night or the next morning, but we understand drunk/hangover emailing might be a tad too challenging.)

Please note: The extra time provided may not be used for editing or adding on or fixing typos, etc. (If you were too drunk to add a header, please add one when sober. ;)) Also note: NO BETAS ALLOWED. We recommend you don't even look at or reread your submission before turning it in. (You can be surprised right along with the rest of us!)

3. Submissions will be posted anonymously on October 4th and voting will be open for various categories through Saturday, October 8th. Please vote! (But not for yourself! :P)

4. All fandoms are welcome! We're traditionally very HP-focused here, but if you get inspired to go Marvel or Supernatural or Doctor Who, etc., etc. (or a crossover!) that's totally fine.

5. And finally, you must be of legal drinking age in your country in order to participate.

New!!
6. This is a 420-friendly event for those who'd like an alternative to alcohol.

Email submissions, questions, comments, drunken ramblings to: fwfdrunkmods@gmail.com

Again, Saturday, October 1 at 9PM BST/4PM EDT/1PM PDT. We hope to see you there!

Well, you could spike that Starbucks Pumpkin Spice! I myself really like beverages that mix caffeine and alcohol-- usually a win-win situation for me -- both very relaxed and very wide-awake.

Starbucks are still somewhat rare here, unfortunately. So it would be a bit of a trek for me to get a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice and try it out. :/

I am thinking of perhaps adding a bit of pumpkin pie spice blend to a White Russian and see if it works. So basically this one but with the spice blend mixed with the regular cream instead of using a pumpkin spice creamer. :)

[ride_4ever]

I think it would be even better the way you say -- pumpkin spice blend mixed with the regular cream. That way you avoid whatever less wholesome ingredients are in the commercially manufactured creamer product.

[a_belladonna]

That's true! And, I could imagine, less sweet, since the only sweetener will come from the Kahlua, and not also from the creamer.
I've using this recipe for a few years, and even got my parents hooked on adding a pinch of it to their coffee in the fall/winter. :)
(The spice blend is listed under pt.3, "Use pumpkin pie spice")
