"You don't want to get yourself into trouble, now."

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

DW really made this round a lot more difficult last night. Boo!

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 Monday 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 Tuesday 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

I never even got started yesterday. I had a houseguest who was lingering and every time I checked Dreamwidth on my phone, it wouldn't load so I didn't have a lot of motivation to encourage my houseguest to leave faster so we ended up sitting around and talking all night. (I did toast you all with a Fireball-and-ginger-ale because I have this tradition where I pretend Fireball is "Firewhiskey" and it seemed like the thing to do. But no fic was written.)

Since the deadline isn't until Monday, I'm thinking of just doing solo drunk writing after work today, but I'm not even sure that will happen because I have to do more packing first and I am sooooo tired. (I'm in that "I swear I'm never moving again" mindset because every move gets harder and I don't think I can do this again.)

Glad to see you in FWF comments whether or not you manage to do an FWF fanwork in the midst of everything else you have going on.

I still haven't started drinking or ficcing and I'm not sure I'm going to. (Who knows, I might yet get inspired before midnight.) I'm feeling guilty that I still have boxes left that I haven't finished packing. Tomorrow I'm going to have to order more boxes from Uhaul because I definitely don't have enough, but I don't know how many I really need until I pack up the last few. (And we're hitting the awkward phase where all the easy things--like nice rectangular books--are already packed and I'm down to the weirdly-shaped odds and ends that are harder.)

Okay, I'm officially giving up and going to bed. I glanced over the prompt list again, thinking to myself that I might give it a shot--and I haven't packed all the booze yet--but drinking alone doesn't sound fun (even though I'm technically drinking "alone" every FWF, the chatting is half the fun). Also, the thought of having a drink now actually sounds kind of bleh. I'm a little queasy with nerves (and will likely remain so for the rest of the week) and booze on a queasy tummy doesn't seem wise.

I look forward to the next round though!

Yeah, I think that at this point getting more rest would be the better stress-reducer.

Totally understand! It ended up being a difficult night all around. Next time, for sure!! <3
