"I shouldn't have said that, I should not have said that"

[torino10154]

Hey, everyone! How are you doing out there? Did everyone survive intact? We hope no one suffered any morning after ill-effects. :)

If you turned in your piece, by now you should have gotten confirmation from either sdk or myself (or possibly both of us!). If you've emailed it in but didn't hear back, we haven't got it. Please send it in again! Our email is fwfdrunkmods@gmail.com.

You have until midnight EST Sunday to turn in your piece if you haven't already. Remember, no editing allowed! If you passed out before you finished a header, that's acceptable to add to, but no correcting or messing with the fics and/or art itself.

We'll be posting all pieces anonymously on Monday all in one go and then voting will commence! A post on voting will go up then as well, with all the details.

We are so excited to share all of the drunken masterpieces!! :D

Took a break from FWF last night to watch the movie "Cocktail" (deliberately FWF-apropos!) with spouse so we could have some bit of time together on Friday. Went back to drinking and writing until 4:30 AM. Woke up just now at 8:40 AM. Going to see if I can fall back asleep right now for a few more hours. Whenever I'm awake for the day I'll check back in here (and respond to the last few comments to me from yesterday too). Not hung over, just plain sleepy.

[torino10154]

LOL Yes! I got C out the door for work and am thinking today is definitely a nap kind of day. :D

[torino10154]

You are dedicated!! Get some rest, for sure. :)

I hit snooze several times but still made it to my desk to host a Zoom meeting at 10:30...and am the only one here. (It was Quaker Meeting for Worship for young adults and usually lightly attended when I remember to advertise a lot, which I didn't.) Anyway, I have a potluck at 3, but once I can leave this call (at noon-ish--need to stay on in case Friends want to pop in for the "check-in" portion of the morning) may be taking a nap. Because I was up writing/drinking/sobering past 4am.

I did accomplish fic, though, and I think there may have been some good elemeents to it?

[torino10154]

Oh no! Well, I'm glad to hear that you have a nap in your future. Enjoy your potluck!

We haven't read anyone's entries yet but I'm sure yours is awesome. *nods*

[lq_traintracks]

I live! Thanks for the awesome round. Can't wait to see what we all did on Monday! LOL.

[torino10154]

Another brave soul! LOL

Thanks for checking in! I turn into Molly during these things, need to make sure everyone is all right.

[songquake]

Me too! With the living and the thanking the mods and the looking forward to reading the entries :)

[corvidology]

Lack of sleep combined with excessive gin consumption = I fell asleep in my chair only a few sentences in.

IF I feel up to experiencing the drunkening again tonight or tomorrow I'll submit something. Otherwise, I'll just enjoy reading everyone else's contributions!

[torino10154]

Fair enough! It has happened to the best of us. LOL

Thanks for checking in.

[sabethea]

I exist! Thank you for FWF, it does help me write! Even when I have to be involuntarily sober *weeps quietly into my orange squash*

[ride_4ever]

When I got up for the day I went outside for a while for a strong wake-up (it's 31° Fahrenheit this morning). Now I'm going to have a light lunch and then some cocktails until I'm at the point of ready to write more drunk!fic.

[torino10154]

Brr! We're only at about 42F now it's 3pm but still. Seems a lot warmer. LOL

Good luck!

[torino10154]

I think the camaraderie helps! Of course it also hinders as one gets distracted with chatting not writing. LOL

[ride_4ever]

Lunch-time now (2:00 PM local time). Then cocktails and writing (cocktail deets will be in a separate comment).

4 PM check-in

[ride_4ever]

Well, I've been drinking for long enough now that I'm ready to start drunk!writing again. I do intend to make cocktails tonight eventually with my new cocktail shaker set and the ice cubes I finally made...but so far with the local temp in the low 30s Fahrenheit I haven't felt like having a cold drink so I've been drinking alcohol-laced coffee all afternoon. (And to keep me very awake while drunk I'm using this pistachio-flavored high-caff coffee "Wake the Hell Up" brand.)

I asked this very late last night -- it may have been after a lot of participants had "left" for the night -- so I'm asking again. Anybody know about buttermilk cocktails? I have some buttermilk left over from recently making "Pan de Elote" and I'm considering making buttermilk cocktails with that.

*waves to lightofdaye*

[ride_4ever]

I'll have to run this through the online "drunktalk-to-English" translator. LOL.

[ride_4ever]

Congrats on that "accomplishment". LOL.
