*clever subject line needs 10 more minutes in the oven*

*takes off the housecoat and puts on the party shoes*

As it seems some of our guests have begun to arrive, we decided to open up a little early!

Welcome to the 'Sleepy Hollow' 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

Your challenges for this month are:

Nearly Headless Nick

Godric's Hollow

Jack-o'-lantern

Graveyard

Harvest Party

Bewitch


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 a few 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, October 3rd. Voting will begin on October 4th and last until Saturday, October 8th.

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!

Your mods will be in and out for a bit as we have a few more things to take care of before we can begin drinking in earnest!

Let's get our drunk on!

Not all of them, I've been out shopping caramel vodka and cider (the non-alcoholic, American kind) for this. ;)

Thanks! I wonder if I'll continue to try or just keep checking out the comments here. Fun in any case!

Yes!! So happy to talk to fellow writers/drinkers here after at the end of August I almost decided to stop writing fic.

I see even you guys couldn't find appropriate nearly headless nick quotes for the titles this time.

Hmm. Typed that almost fine after two drinks. better drink some more before writing.

I'm from Scandinavia, and the drink referred to as "cider" is also always an alcoholic drink here (ranging from "can be drunk by children because it's only 0,5% alcohol" to "as strong as lager"), so I was well on my way to buy an alcoholic cider for Spiced Apple Martinis. But the kind, helpful clerk at the cider-shop informed me of the difference between UK and American ciders, so I ended up getting the proper ingredients. :)

(As well as a lovely, sweet cider from Normandy, which I'm saving for some other occasion.)

Yes, especially when you keep in mind that he's 1.65m tall...

I always wonder, when they win these kinds of edible prices*, whether they share with the team or keep it for themselves. If it's for himself, he'll be having cold cuts all winter long. :D

*The prize in a Norwegian race was half a tonne of Norwegian salmon.


And you're fashionably late--technically you're still early as we weren't even meant to start for another 20 minutes!

Ah! Haha. Then I feel less bad for having had Halloween-themed layer cake with my parents this afternoon. :)

And since tonight's theme is "spooky", here is an appropriately spooky song about drinking: Drink With The Living Dead by Ghoultown.

Indeed! I calculated that the recipe "for one person" called for 9cl cider and 6cl caramel vodka (the original was in ounces).
But I also felt very confused, because the recipe told you to shake the ingredients, and I couldn't really imagine that would end well if you used a sparkly cider. ;) So I was beginning to suspect she didn't mean an alcoholic cider based on that part.

I just mix caramel vodka and apple cider--sometimes I'll put in a fancy caramel drizzle or if I'm out of flavored vodka, regular vodka with caramel syrup. It's super easy, and super delicious!

A G&T and 2 glasses of wine...excellent start!

Welcome to FWF! I joined earlier this year and every FWF I've done has been great! Truly one of my fave comms in all the years I've been in fandom.
