"How dry I am, How dry I am, Nobody knows how dry I am"

Welcome to the 'Not-So-Dry January' 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 round are:

Hagrid

Forbidden Forest

Stripped Bare

Cuddling by the Fire

Ice and Snow

“Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.”


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 Sunday, January 22nd. Voting will begin on January 23rd and last until Friday, January 27th.

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!

Shelly is starting the night with prosecco which was so good on NYE while Torino is trying to decide what to pair with the bottle of coconut rum she got for Christmas!

Let's get our drunk on!

I'm still catching up on Friday posts, so I don't know if you've posted on Saturday that your fic is now happening, but here I am cheering you on *\o/*.

Brain-twin! I am absolutely the same way: like you said "physical DVDs, foreign films, everything actor X ever made...."

Speaking of "getting a tattoo that so and so had in a fic or something that was significant in a story": that tattoo on Callum Keith Rennie's arm (see icon) is for realz and not painted on for playing a part -- and I have that tattoo for realz also -- and another one of my tattoos is fanart from a fic on which I did beta my very first fic beta.

Thank you, it was much better today! A bit tired (surprise) but otherwise as okay as I could expect. :)

It was kind of unsettling when the screen began pixelating in front of my eyes. When the pixelating continued with my eyes closed, I began to recall what I'd heard about migraines with aura (because of course your first thoughts are "am I losing my eyesight?!" and "why does it have to happen at 4pm on a Friday, FML -_-")

Thank you! I felt better today. A bit exhausted, but otherwise better. :) And yes, FWF will return, and I'll do my best to be there!

Thank you. :) I was better today, fortunately (I did get a bit apprehensive when I read that migraines can last up to three days...)
I'll do my very best (to quote the butler from "Dinner for one") to be here for the next round. :)

Good to know you are better today! (Yes, 3-day migraines are unfortunately a thing: my spouse has gotten them.)

I've never paused and gotten re-drunk for a Firewhiskey before, but I had to work early this morning so I gave up last night when the story stalled out and I knew I had to get to sleep soon if I wanted to be functional. So, day two, and I just took another shot of whiskey and I'm about to open up the story (might need a second shot before I can face it). I'm feeling cringy about how bad it must be and I really need to get back to "Fuck it! Let's do this!" mode before I continue.

I realize I'm a day late sharing hitis infomration, but Canada Dry mixes verky nicely with pineapple vodka. Just so's you know.

I did it! This is the latest I've ever submitted a Firewhiskey fic, but I have submitted my story!

When I'm dehdrated, I get this kaleidescope vision where the world is all sparkly and sort of pulsey and pixelated but in real life. The first time it happened, I was terrified it was the first sign of a migraine because I have friends who have them and described that "aura". But in my case, it seems to be a consistant thing associated only with dehydration and fixed pretty instantly with as much water as I can get. I take care to drink lots of water these days and haven't had a repeat in years.

Things are a bit confusing at the moment. Lots of potential diagnoses, but it seems to be settling down to a case of "you need to eat better". (She's getting lectured about cutting back on protein and eating more fiber instead.)

At one point today, she was emphatic that she was NOT going to stay another night in the hospital and that she was going to leave against medical advice, but they talked her into staying (mainly by pointing out that she's been needing help getting to the bathroom). And she was still expecting to be released tomorrow ... but then she texted me this evening saying she was still experiencing dramatic pain while on the toilet. She's says it feels like she has some kind of blockage/impaction, which seems like the sort of thing that needs to be dealt with before they send her home.

I'm the world's worst nurse so I was feeling a bit panicky when she was talking about coming home today. (I'm not physically capable of picking her up if she falls and I'm not psychologically capable of dealing with any gross biological stuff.) So I'm relieved she's staying in the hospital at least one more night.

At least they are no longer floating suggestions of terminal scenarios. Apparently someone asked her as a standard part of the intake process what sort of extreme life support measures she wanted taken and she interpreted that to mean they actually thought she was going to die at any moment so there have now been at least two panic attacks.

It took me a few more hours before I managed to get back to it (had to drop off some more things for roommate at the hospital), but I did it! Fic finished and submitted!

In addition to the traditional Fireball shots, I also established that pineapple vodka mixes nicely with Canada Dry. I'm starting to sober up at this point though.

I'm down to 4 unread messages! I'm feeling victorious. Story complete and comments (almost) caught up on.

Pineapple vodka? I did not know that was A Thing! Does it work if I just mix some pineapple juice I have on hand with some vodka I have on hand?

Damn...I really wish we "locals' were hanging out IRL right now. Yes, I know you finished your fic and YAYS for that, but I am still drinking and ficcing and it would be so great right now to be with someone who understands this.
