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

Everything is kinda alright

[ride_4ever]

Okaaaaay. That does it: you ARE a mind-reader! My drinking plan for later today is Ranch Rider Tequila Paloma...and LOOK...you're showing me your TEQUILA icon!

[ride_4ever]

Is FWF gonna break the Internet AGAIN? I keep getting "connection interrupted" messages and the only time I ever got those before was our PREVIOUS FWF. /o\

[ride_4ever]

Still writingg fic so of course still drnking. Getting a headache now. Will contineu jdrinking anyways. One suffers for oens art...and one's fandomn.

[a_belladonna]

Likewise! Although I've yet to actually attempt a two-day FWF. ;)

I'm actually not sure if the headache was a hang-over or lack of sleep.
Anyway, I had an appointment yesterday about watching the movie "The Velocipastor". The post-film drinks strangely helped somewhat, haha.

But tonight I'm staying away from alcohol!

[a_belladonna]

Hang in there! You can do it! *waves pom-poms*

Re: Espresso Vodka Martini update

I'd really like to try an espresso Martini, but I'm also afraid the caffeine will screw up my sleeping patterns. :/
So I keep hoping that someday caffeine-free instant coffee will be on offer in my local supermarket (for some reason it's always just the regular kinds of coffee that are put on offer, never the de-caf.)

[ride_4ever]

For me it's day THREE of the FWF -- I often go two days but this is the first time I'm going three --and yeah, I am getting a headache but I won't let it daunt me.

For a moment there I thought that "VelociPastor" was a typo and that you meant "Velociraptor," but then I looked it up and OMG I so want to see that now!

[ride_4ever]

TYK for the cheerleading!

Re: Espresso Vodka Martini update

[ride_4ever]

Your concern about the high caffeine in the Espresso Martini is well-founded. It did screw up my sleep pattern...and it's pretty weird to be wide-awake and wide-drunk at the same time.

But it was still so worth it to me. :-)

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

TODS is very (and rightfully) proud of his home bar. :-)

I will say that creme de violette is an extremely recent addition - we were looking for something else at the local Spec's (eeee, I love typing those words) and I spotted it on the shelf and said WE HAVE TO GET THIS. We had Kir made with it one of the times we visited France and it was the most delicious Kir ever, and we usually have Kir with sushi, so now I get a violet Kir nearly every week. :-) I think TODS found this recipe when he was looking to see what else we could make with it.

Hoping you are wrapping up the drinking and the ficcing and having a good evening!!! Sending hugs and shaking pompons!

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

[ride_4ever]

Sweet!

[ride_4ever]

Yays, "it's a wrap". Sending fic to drunkmods now.

Ugh, I have a headache after this THIRD day of non-sobriety. How we suffer for our art, eh?

[amedia]

How we suffer for our art, eh?

It's true!!! In many various ways.

I hope your head is feeling better today!

[ride_4ever]

All better today! I have a high tolerance and sometimes don't even get a headache at all, but when I do I also recover quickly. (I was about to use the phrase "refractory period". Heh, see what happens when one reads a lot of pRon.)

[a_belladonna]

It is indeed not a typo! If you get the chance to watch this movie, by all means do so! It's absolutely ridiculous, but in a good way. :D
It both knows it's a bad movie, and yet plays it straight, complete with flashbacks to Vietnam and a (way too long) montage during a love scene, haha.
(And a visible safety pin at the back of one of the priests' (cheap costume-shop) cassocks...)
I laughed so hard I cried several times through the viewing, and my colleague, who'd suggested we all go and see it, told us beforehand that the first two times he watched it, he fell off his chair laughing.

Prolonging the FWF over three days sounds equally tempting and daunting! And in a way it suits me just fine to drink one evening/night, type furiously away, fall asleep and send the results off the following day. XD

Same. LOL I could not handle a three-day FWF.

Re: Espresso Vodka Martini update

[a_belladonna]

I think I'll save the caffeine-version of that drink for a "dancing the night away"-occasion. ;)
And keep hoping a decaf-instant coffee will go on sale somewhere in the meantime.

[a_belladonna]

I find it challenging enough to attend music festivals where you drink alcohol for three-four days in a row.
And I don't even get drunk-drunk at those, LOL.

Decaf: when you're ready to sleep you could actually sleep.
