firewhiskeyficOn the first of APRIL, called APRIL-FOOL DAY,
Approach ye nine Muses, Parnassus descend,
And help out the weak Verse of a destitute friend;
To a poor silly fool prove prevalent tools,
To shew that mankind are all APRIL-FOOLS.
~British Magazine, 1748 (Read more about the origins of April Fools here)
Firewhiskeyfic is SATURDAY, APRIL 1 and that's no joke!
For this April Fools edition, we highly recommend Best Spring Cocktails!
Nothing says spring like a Cherry Blossom cocktail...
Or maybe you'd like to try this gorgeous Griffith Park Swizzle.
The festivities will begin at 9PM BST/4PM EDT/1PM PDT on Saturday April 1! Hopefully, the time works for you but remember that you can come and go as you please, start early, leave late. It's all good as long as while you are writing, you're drinking. :D
We are hosting on our DW community again this round. If you do not have a DW account (yet *g*), you should be able to comment with OpenID or anonymously.
Your Prompts!
Fred & George Weasley
Riddikulus
Court Jester
Sex Pollen
On Heat/In Heat
Tiptoe Through the Tulips
A rundown of the rules. A more thorough explanation will be posted on the night of the event.
1. This round will take place on Saturday, April 1, 9PM BST/4PM EDT/1M PDT (and last until you finish or pass out). Due to sucky time zones mucking everything up, if you'd like to start earlier or later, that's fine!
2. Your fic and/or art will be due approximately 48 hours from the challenge start time. For this round, that means Monday, April 3rd by midnight your time. (We would prefer to turn them in the same night or the next morning, but we understand drunk/hangover emailing might be a tad too challenging.)
Please note: The extra time provided may not be used for editing or adding on or fixing typos, etc. (If you were too drunk to add a header, please add one when sober. ;)) Also note: NO BETAS ALLOWED. We recommend you don't even look at or reread your submission before turning it in. (You can be surprised right along with the rest of us!)
3. Submissions will be posted anonymously on April 4th and voting will be open for various categories through Saturday, April 8th. Please vote! (But not for yourself! :P)
4. All fandoms are welcome! We're traditionally very HP-focused here, but if you get inspired to go Marvel or Supernatural or Doctor Who, etc., etc. (or a crossover!) that's totally fine.
5. And finally, you must be of legal drinking age in your country in order to participate.
New-ish!!
6. This is a 420-friendly event for those who'd like an alternative to alcohol.
