“Whoops - My wand is a little over excited!”

[torino10154]

Welcome to the 'Birds and Bees' 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:

Gilderoy Lockhart

Sex Ed

Honey

Birds of a Feather

Well-Bred

Total Eclipse (of the Heart)


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 Sunday, April 14th. Voting will begin on April 15 and last until Friday, April 19th.

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)

<b>Title:</b> <b>Author:</b> <b>I am of legal drinking age in my region:</b> (yes/no) <b>Pairing(s)/Characters/Fandom:</b> <b>Challenge/Prompts used:</b> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Rating/Warnings:</b> <b>Word count:</b> <b>Author's Notes (if any):</b>

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 Malibu Bay Breeze while Shelly is the designated driver tonight! ;)

Let's get our drunk on!

Hello hello! How is everyone tonight?

[sdk]

That malibu bay breeze looks delicious!

[flownwrong]

heyaaaa! first time caller european here, getting an early start! might not be able to get properly drunk, but i'll sure do my best \o/

[lightofdaye]

I am here on at 2200 and within a minute the post is up and three comments. Quick off the mark.

ooh that title. Anyone remember the wand/wang meme?

I'm here!

[oldtoadwoman]

Greetings all!

I'm still sober. I should try to do something about that.

I posted this drinks recipe in the notification post the other day, but I'll repeat it for inspiration here as well:

"Dawn Special"

5 cl vodka (noticed that my recipe book actually notes that "the vodka can be substituted with gin, rum or sake if you have those on hand")
1 lime
1 tablespoon honey
1 rock sugar stick (you know, those wooden sticks with rock sugar)

Cut the lime in smaller pieces, and muddle them with honey in the shaker. Add crushed ice and vodka. Shake a little and pour into a low-ball glass. Add a rock sugar stick and stir lightly before serving.

Still at work. Can't start reading comments and chatting here yet -- and deffo can't start drinking yet! -- but popping in for just a second to say see all y'all back here soon when I get home! ILEITB!

[lightofdaye]

So.... how does one write again?

[a_belladonna]

Okay, so this is the Shark Bite cocktail.
And this is La Squalo TV.

Who'd like to watch a stream where the three hosts are drinking the Shark Bite cocktail throughout the evening? :D
The talk show is already a chaotic mess at times, what wouldn't it amount to if they all were drinking blue cocktails with little plastic sharks? (Would 58 kg Pozzovivo start slurring his speech after one or two drinks?)

[songquake]

I’m a little bit here— have to finish prepping for a discussion I am facilitating tomorrow morning on “continuing revelation,” so I’ll be pulling out the booze (ouzo and/or bourbon) after that.

Looking forward to seeing what happens when I start really playing with the prompts!

Topic #1 Best Snacks for FWF

[torino10154]

Leave your fave drinking snacks here (or what you're stuck eating because you forgot to get anything good).

Topic #2 Best Hangover Cures

[torino10154]

For those of you who suffer from them... or alternately, how do you avoid getting one to begin with?

[lightofdaye]

dilemna im sobering the point my writing is only normally bad but i don't want too much more drink.

watery grog style rum!

[flownwrong]

aw, man, i got some words down, but i think the timezones and weekend plans did me in! hope i have better luck another time :') at least i had a nice two-drink evening out of it!

[torino10154]

My husband's out mowing the lawn and I'm sitting and drinking and fucking off. LOLOLOLOL :/

[amedia]

So the universe is trying to get in my way - we didn't have our usual Friday night drinks with dinner (because reasons, totally legit), and then I got a frantic text message from a colleague that required me to do an extra half-hour of work right after dinner ... but I recently rewatched Jurassic Park and my motto is SMUT FINDS A WAY!!!

I'll just bring up some extra alcohol to enjoy while writing, since I didn't have a chance to lay down a base during dinner. It's all good! Hm, maybe I can throw something together with that new bottle of chocolate-flavored Baileys and the extra chocolate milk I accidentally wound up with. And ice cream! (But I'm starting with alcoholic ginger beer and diet cherry pepsi.)

[ride_4ever]

To quote Ray Kowalski in due South : "Home again, home again, jiggety jig."

Just got home from work and gonna craft me a Super-Spicy Margarita right now -- my special blend that includes jalapeno-infused pickles and frozen-fruit cubes (that's like ice cubes but made with fruit juice). Then...The Drunkening shall begin!

[impala_chick]

West coast of the US finally free from work etc!! :D I'm drinking gin and blood orange seltzer. Cheers.

[torino10154]

Ooof. I decided I should just finish whatever was in the bottle of vodka and I think I made my drink a LITTLE STRONG. LOLOLOLOLOL But I did successfully get rid of a nearly empty bottle so yay!

[torino10154]

Adding the header while the writing is stalled. I'm so smart. lol

[ride_4ever]

So, I'm hungry -- haven't eaten since lunch-time and now it's 9:00 PM -- but I don't want food to undermine any of The Drunkening. Well, I think it's time to eat the jalapeno-infused pickles that I put in my Jalapeno Pickle Margarita. That's two Margs now -- I think I'll make something else for my next cocktail, but still with tequila....

[torino10154]

All right, you lot, I'm heading off to bed. I think this last drink has firmly placed me in the "falling asleep at the computer" category.

Make sure you drink some water before bed!

[songquake]

Hello! I'm just starting to drink now, but was unsuccessful with my first pour. But the straatevy is to drink and read thru the comments for awhile, commenting back... and when the comments get incoherent, I WRITE

[impala_chick]

I finally ahve an idea I think... Spent way too much time working on a different WIP.

[songquake]

I MADE SOMETHING. and now i need to drink some water adn get ready for bed because i have to facilitate a discussion about something I don't know enough about tomorrow at 10am. WHihc is in 8.5 hours my time.

Oyyyyy.

Love you!
