Party Plans: Two upcoming events!

[sdk]

Hey y'all, happy December! On behalf of my co-mod torino10154, I come with news! Our next official Firewhiskey Fic event will be on Friday, January 20th, 2023. Mark your calendars! However, there were enough of you filling out the poll that were available (and excited) for a New Year's Eve event, we're also having a wee get-together on December 31st.



FWF NYE OPEN BAR - December 31st 4pm EST | 9pm GMT

Come on by, have a drink (or five), write comment fic, draw drunken doodles, leave prompts for others, tell us your best dad jokes, and hang out with us as we have a little FWF party to say adieu to 2022.

Hope to see you there! ♥

YAY!!!!! So excited!!!1!

This is gonna be lit as the kids say. (Do they still say that? Gnarly.)

[sdk]

Wicked? Dope? Nope, I'm far behind the times. I want to reply with the "How do you do fellow kids" gif, but apparently replying with gifs is now also an "old people thing" or so I've heard, lol.

BUT YES, EXCITED!!11!1!

So rad.

Tubular!

Oh this is AWESOME!!! Love this idea! Will try very hard to be at both! <3

I'm literally headed out to the store now to get more booze to make sure I'm stocked up. (Since I can't count on decent weather between now and New Year's and today looks like a good day to walk to the store.)

[paulamcg]

Yay! Looking forward to both events, as Firewhiskey has become my favourite source of inspiration and community! I hope I'll still manage to drink with you in 2022, though the new year will start for me earlier than for most drunkficcers. Thank you for this great plan to open the bar!

[sdk]

Hopefully we're starting early enough to clink our glasses! I'm looking forward to it too! :D

[sabethea]

Oh cool! If I’m here earlier still than that, will anyone be around? Even on NYE, likelihood of my making it much past 9pm GMT is dubious, but drabbles with the firewhiskeyfic folk sounds fab.

[torino10154]

I can't speak for anyone else, including Shelly, but I'm usually not averse to starting a little early. But I also have no idea when I'll be able to sit down that day to get things started. So, maybe? LOL I will keep this in mind though.

[walgesang]

Firewhiskey twice as nice! :D

[torino10154]

Seeing double! A sure sign of drinking too much. LOL :D

[tjs_whatnot]

YESSSSSSS!

Cool! I don't know what my work schedule for January is going to be, but I've set a notice for both dates. If only to follow a bit from the sidelines. ;) (New Year's eve might be at my parents, it's a tiny bit embarrassing to be too drunk in their company, haha)

[torino10154]

LOL Understandable! You can always just pop in to clink glasses and shout Happy New Year! True drunkenness is not required. ;)

What's the start time in "Chicago time"for FWF on Friday, Jan 20? *considers trying to get off work early that day* 🍸

[torino10154]

Uh, I am not sure. We haven't picked a time yet but it's generally around 5pm Eastern so an hour earlier for you? I think? LOL Friday is a bit different than Saturday as there are more people who have work so we tend not to do the "start anytime after noon" thing. LOL

[ride_4ever]

Noted. I'll see about getting off from work a bit earlier that day, but might not be able to get home earlier than about 5:30 Chicago time.

[torino10154]

Totally understand!

It's tricky making the event accessible for everyone/having people around at the same time. And me and Shelly both tend to go to bed/fall asleep early so there are probably people further west we've never interacted with! LOL

[ride_4ever]

You and Shelly being willing to mod FWF even though it goes on past the time you yourselves stay up for it is appreciated by those of us who are night owls (drunken night owls LOL).

[torino10154]

There are sacrifices we are willing to make for the sake of drunken shenanigans. *nods*
