*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!

Hey!!! I didn't notice you'd started, thought I was drinking all by myself! I've started early and slowly – with ouzo and my first words of fic since mid-August. I don't know if this will lead into a story but at least it's fun to be trying... without trying too siriusly.

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

Surely you can be Sirius.

They must be drunk to let that line go un-zinged!

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

No, you weren't drinking alone! I started about three hours ago....

Ouzo FTW!

If I hadn't just made a batch of (Spiced) Apple Martini (with caramel vodka!) I'd have had a shot of Salmiakki Koskenkorva. ;) I remembered I still have a bottle in my liqueur cabinet. :)

I hope you get to write something, right now I'm not really feeling any inspiration, sadly.

Tell me about Salmiakki Koskenkorva -- this is a drink I do not know! And I am a very adventurous drinker!

Well, we Scandinavians (and Dutch and north-Germans) really love us some ammonium-chloride-flavoured candy.
Liquorice is after all the best when it comes with a health warning because of a risk of raised blood pressure if you eat too much of it. ;)
And at some point, we thought of combining distilled liquor with salty liquorice. :D Wikipedia has a whole article on the Salmiakki Koskenkorva.
If you like salty liquorice, it's a really nice drink, but if you're not accustomed to it, it might be quite, er, tough to drink. *g*
(I've met American exchange students who thought Sambucca was hard to take as a shot, whereas my classmates in high school drank it from tumblers, straight, when we visited Rome.)

I <3 ouzo, so yes, I am a fan of licorice-inspired alcohol.

If you can get your hands on a bottle, I can only recommend it! :) Just remember to shake it vigorously, otherwise most of the liquorice will be stuck to the bottom.

*pokes muse* C'mon, do something...
(TBF, I had a hectic week after having had a cold, so...it's probably only natural that inspiration is a bit difficult to find)

Good luck!

It's only 5:00pm here and I still have some boring adult-type stuff to get done but I'm eyeing my gin selection. :D
