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

[torino10154]

Welcome to the 'Not-So-Dry January' edition of firewhiskeyfic! We, your Mods - sdk and 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 have thought about it... and then had another drink until the thought went away!

I am turning in but as a last thought it took me way too long to figure out what was meant by booxe.

Re: muses

[torino10154]

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.
