firewhiskeyfic | "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!

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.

Glad you are still here and hanging around for a while. I'm still sloshing through my first drink of the evening and don't even have a frakkin' plotbunny yet.

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?

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.)

Yes, I had seen your earlier post about not having any plotbunnies for this, and it actually inspired and encouraged me. I too am now gonna just jump in and roll with it without expectations (the first time I'm taking that approach).

rah rah! hooray for finding plot bunnies amid the discussion of missing plot bunnies!

*points ti icon*

Ha, my first drunken typo of the night....

Edited 2023-08-20 04:28 (UTC)

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

My brain feels like marshmallows.

That makes me think of s'mores....

Now I want s'mores.

I have marshmallows in the freezer waiting for the next time I buy graham crackers....

Your pretty icon is pretty. Is that a pic of drinis you made?

Oh, I only wish I had fancy cocktails like this.

(Icon was made by lilly_c for sunshine_challenge.)

They look like the ones that are made with Skittles or Jolly Ranchers.

What did you drink tonight?

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.

I've actually been very much into making cocktails since I got into FWF, just not this time because of getting such a late start so I'm drinking something that isn't time-and-labor-intensive (a bottle of wine).

Every FWF, I swear I'm going to plan better next time. I never do.

I had several types of rum and several types of ginger beer and fresh limes all set for "Dark-N-Stormy" experiments this time, but that's gonna be next time (unless I drink all those "supplies" before then LOL).
