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

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 EDT Sunday to turn in your piece if you haven't already. Remember, no editing allowed! If you passed out before you finished or need to add a header, that's acceptable, but no correcting or editing with the fics and/or art itself.

We'll be posting all pieces anonymously on Monday 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

Well, all the LOLZ for that.

*chugs more beer*

I did the drunkening late and *thought* I was working on something for this but woke up this morning to realize I'd written an hilaribad sex scene for the story I'm currently working on. *headdesk*

I might take another crack at it tonight after we get back from dinner and drinks with friends.

When my son is home from college, I'll pick some up (the rest of us are trying to drink less) and the last time I got some that there wasn't any kind of "deal" on it was over $7. Though frankly the flavored seltzers I started drinking instead are also at least a dollar more than they used to be plus then tend to only have 8 cans in a box. Might as well drink the damn diet Coke.

[torino10154]

LOLOLOL Maybe you can edit that scene and salvage it? :D

Good luck tonight and enjoy your evening!

[corvidology]

I'm hoping I can salvage something from it. At least it made me laugh!

Not that many years ago, a 12-pack went for about $6 full price, but you could nearly always find that either Pepsi or Coke was on sale for only $4 for a 12-pack (though sometimes you had to buy multiples to get that price). And since I'm not a brand loyalist, I'd just buy whichever brand was cheapest. Now I sometimes look at the prices and just don't buy any at all, because even the "sale" prices are more than full price used to be. It's so annoying. Give me this one vice! Let me drink fizzy drinks at a price I can afford!

My favorite energy drinks were Venom which were pre-priced at $0.99 and now even those have gone up to $1.29 (and they are harder to find as more expensive competitiors are taking over the shelves).

One day or two days or three days of The Drunkening...as long as my fic isn't done I keep drinking. That's the rule: if we're writing, we're drinking. :-)

Espresso Vodka Martini update

[ride_4ever]

I decided tghatg tghe 50/50 mix of vodka and Kahlua was sweeter than the sweetness level I like, aded another 2 oz of vodka. Mmmmmmm....that's good...burns a bit but i'ts a good burn. (Heh, isn'r "burns a bti but it's a good burn" loke a lien I"ve seen in porn timea nsand aagin?)

I wrote Venom Christmas fic once. :-)

Re: VEnom earnery dirnkg

[ride_4ever]

Thank you kindly! I'll be reading that after I finish my FWF fic. And wow, gorgeous cover!

Hmmm...no typos...better have another drink before I continue ficcing.

Re: Hello? Hello? *taps mic* Is this thing on?

We had floral daiquiris with dinner (sushi) tonight, but not for the purpose of Drunkening for the purpose of Writening! Just to enjoy.

I admire your perseverance and I am cheering you on!!! YAYZ for the story coming along!!! And you are finally making typos, w00t!!!

TODS found the floral daiquiri recipe somewhere and it's amazing ... lavender syrup, elderflower liqueur, creme de violette, white rum, lime juice, and muddled blueberries. Sooooo yummy! You might find it a little sweet, but it's a very delicate flavor, not a heavy one.

[amedia]

I'm not sure how, but I didn't have a hangover this morning! I nibbled on peanuts during the Crabbie's & Cherry (I had a vague idea from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that it might help), and then the second drink was practically a chocolate milkshake, and I also drank a lot of water alongside both drinks.

I went to bed midnight-ish and slept until noon-ish, interrupted several times by having to get up at the beckoning of the bladder, as one might expect, but each time I fell immediately back to sleep.

Very excited to see everyone's fics next week!!!

Re: Hello? Hello? *taps mic* Is this thing on?

[ride_4ever]

TODS crafted that at home? You have all those specialty ingredients on hand?

Past midnight here and still ficcing...but no typos so I must need redrunkening.

[ride_4ever]

Don't panic, and be sure to have your towel.

last one up...as usual

[ride_4ever]

I'm still up and ficcing at 3:15 AM local time but getting more sober as the post-alcohol time increases, and since the FWF rule is that while one is writing one is drinking, and I don't want to start a NEW round of getting buzzed at 3:15 AM, I will soon be going off to sleep, with plans to have breakfast beer and more ficcing soon after waking up.

[corvidology]

I hope you had a good time!

I got home and collapsed due to lack of sleep.

[ride_4ever]

Day 3 of The Drunkening. I'm about to have beer for breakfast and continue my FWF fic.

Have you gotten adequate sleep now?

Will you be participating in FWF today?

[corvidology]

The early morning sun shines through the bubbles in your beer?

Unfortunately, I have too much on my plate today for drunkening but who knows?

[ride_4ever]

Are you a mind-reader...or do you have a surveillance camera set up at my writing spot? I was ACTUALLY holding up my beer stein and watching the bubbles with the backdrop of the morning sun AND THEN YOU WROTE EXACTLY THAT!

day three of The Drunkening

[ride_4ever]

I'm having my two-beers-for-breakfast-on-an-empty-stomach start for this third day of FWF as I proceed to finish my fic.

I thought this "Spock Hand" icon would be apropos because my breakfast beer is a stout called "Beam Me Up, Stouty". LOL Star Trek pun.
