"Why is it when something bad happens, it's always you three?"
Welcome to the 'Travel' 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:
Minerva McGonagall
Portkey
Sex on the Beach
Lost Luggage
Sweater Weather
Trains, Planes and Automobiles
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 Monday, August 21st. Voting will begin on August 22nd and last until Saturday, August 26th.
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!
Torino plans to start with a rum and Coke while Shelly has had something come up at the last minute and probably can't make it tonight. That's all right though, Torino will drink enough for two! :D
Let's get our drunk on!

For those who don't know why I've been missing so far today from FWF: My laptop was in the repair shop all week because I was having crash dumps and artifacts. I was so worried about not getting it back in time for FWF, but I got it back yesterday, so I thought all was cool. Then when I got it home I discovered that the repair tech had only done a partial job and that there was still something wrong with it so I took it back and hung around the vicinity of the repair place for many hours, dreading the thought that if they didn't get it right I would be losing over a decade of fannish stuff, vids and docs and fanart. Now I gotta say THANK FUCK it's all fixed with everything saved and the laptop functioning so I can be just late for FWF rather than absent.
I was gonna make cocktails during this FWF, but with this late start I gotta move faster on the drunkening. I'm working on drinking this whole bottle of Huckleberry Wine. It's a fandom-related bottle in that every year when I go to Con*Strict in Henderson, Nevada a few of us fen stay a day longer than the con and go to some of the wineries in Pahrump. This is one of the bottles from Pahrump.

Oh, ugh, that sounds super stressful. I'm done with my drunk fic and am in the process of sobering up (which for me means I'm now in that phase where I want to eat everything in the kitchen), but I'll be loitering online for a couple more hours.
Re: computer
Me, I don't wait until the sobering-up phase to reach the eat-everything-in-the-kitchen phase. As soon as I'm drunkish I lose all inhibitions about food.
What did you have to drink tonight?
food
Well, I started by eating all the toast in the house and then had some microwave cheesy-mac and then (still drunk and typing) talked my roommate into ordering food. So, yeah, I didn't wait until post-drunk to start eating, but I'm very much still in binge mode because I ended up microwaving another frozen pasta thing and my body is insisting it's still hungry even though I know I basically ate three dinners tonight.
I had Fireball whiskey with Pepsi and then later on I had rum with fruit syrup to sweeten it up.
I had zero plot bunnies too. Oddly, I think that made the writing go faster this round, because I went into it with no expectations. I just accepted that this one wasn't gonna be good and to just roll with it. (Often I go in with the story half-formed in my head, but I always miscalculate how much time is required to get those ideas into words so I'd still be writing at this point.)

Sorry, I literally got distracted and wandered off and only just remembered I hadn't finished responding to people.
My brain feels like marshmallows.

Oh, I only wish I had fancy cocktails like this.
(Icon was made by
lilly_c for

Re: icon
What did you drink tonight?
Re: icon
Someone else was talking about skittles shots tonight. :-)
I think I already answered this in another thread, but my traditional Firewhiskey drink is Fireball. It just seems appropriate. I kick things off with a shot of Fireball and then followed it up with Fireball mixed with Pepsi. And then when I got bored of that, later on, I mixed some rum with lemon syrup (and lots of ice to water things down a bit).
I really want the fancy cocktails like in the icon, but I'm always too lazy and disorganized to get all the ingredients I need to make them.

but i'm feeling a little more light in the head, w;hich i figure is a good tme to sart rewriting agin.
What I re-drunkeded weiht was a revision of a hot toddy, using ingredients i actually ahad on hand:
Juice of an entire lemon
an excessive amount of maple syrup (probably 1.5 oz)
an excessive amount of rum (possibly 4-5 oz)
a bunch of hot water, enough to fll my rather large mug.

I also like ouzo.

I'm always fascinated by the variation in liquor laws state to state. Everywhere I've lived, regular grocery stores can sell liquor, but at various times in the past, I've lived places where the liquor aisle would be gated off on Sundays because of random blue laws.
