They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

[sdk]

Welcome to the April 2017 Earth Day edition of firewhiskeyfic! We, your Mods - sdk and torino10154, are so glad you could make it. We love everyone tonight. Feel free to friend us on DW. We promise not to stalk you... much.

Your challenges for this month are:

Earth Day

Luna Lovegood

The Black Lake

Camping

Centaur

Incorporate one or more into your fic/art somehow, and you're good to go!

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.

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 keep in mind the majority of our players are HP people. 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, m'kay?

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 noon on Tuesday, April 25th. Voting will begin later that evening and last until Saturday April 29th at midnight.

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:</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 or LJ 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!

Please do not discuss your fic/art. You can discuss ideas, drinks, how wasted you are, how to save the Earth, why the Lorax is your spirit animal, how you plan to spend the summer, 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.

Shelly's starting off with Redd's Apple Ale while Torino's having a rum and Coke. Always rum. *g*. How about you folks?

Let's get your drunk on!

WOOOOT! I've been standing outside in the pouring rain for much of the afternoon watching 14-year-olds kick a ball around and I am SO READY TO DRINK! :D

[lightofdaye]

Ha! Figures it would be rainy again when you absolutely have to be outside. :P

[lightofdaye]

woo! I just finished writing 'this should be up any minute' and low it is up.

I'm with Torino though. I have the end of the bottle of rum I used for the fests last year.

[torino10154]

RUM! :D

[torino10154]

Oh, hell. I thought I had alcoholic Root Beer and Ginger Beer but it's just regular. How disappointing.

[lq_traintracks]

Noooooooooo!

[lq_traintracks]

Hey all! I'm not drinking yet, but it won't be long. I'm all set with beer and tequila as per my usual for FWF. \o/ I'm looking forward to getting stupidly incoherent with you all! :D *group hug*!

[lightofdaye]

no no. the groups hugs are after we get sloshed.

[alisanne]

So I JUST checked the margarita mixture I concocted last nightand put in the freezer, and it's nicely slushy.
I'm just eating a little something before I start drinking since, well, I'm old, and I do't bounce back like I used to.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS, OH YES!

[lightofdaye]

I have cheese and crackers waiting for when I'm done. And water too hopefully they will help negate any side effects.

I don't usually drink at all!

[tjs_whatnot]

YAY! We're doing this! While I might not be inspired just yet to write, I am DEFINITELY inspired to drink! I am, coincidentally starting with boozy rootbeer before hitting the harder stuff.

HAPPY EARTH DAY EVERYONE! May it not be our last!

[alisanne]

Oh lord.
Given the state of our world, you could be right about that.
Damn, I should start drinking now, forget the food...

[bixgirl1]

Well, crap. Unforseen conundrum: I smoke when I drink and I don't smoke in the house. So apparently I'm going to have to get/stay sloshed by making multiple trips outside.
Maybe it'll just get me to appreciate the outdoors better. ;)
Popping open my first!

[lq_traintracks]

Maybe it'll just get me to appreciate the outdoors better. ;)

Well it is Earth Day. *snort*

[lq_traintracks]

Okay then, here I go! With the drinking part. It'll probably take a couple drinks till I'm ~prepared (and by prepared I mean sufficiently marinated) to write.

[torino10154]

You definitely want to be suffieidntly marinated. *nods*

[ruinsplume]

Hiiiiii everyone. Drinking tequila and beer and already having trouble tying ahem typing after half a shot and just a few sips. Okay, ready to play!

[torino10154]

Hello! Cheers! :D

[torino10154]

Since we have a couple newbies I wanted to mention two things. If someone fgoes gquiet, theymay have actually started trying to write! (Or, I suppose they might have passedout, but it's a bit early for that.)

And the other, "rule" relateditem ois not to talk about what you're planningto wrote or writing. Everything esleis fine.

:D

[plaidphoenix]

Is there any minimum word count? Or is any length acceptable?

[torino10154]

OK I am finally ready to getstarted! Wish me luck. :PI've had trouble writing leatelyso hopefully the additional lubrication *g* does the trcik.

[sdk]

Ahah I feel you. Please alcohol, bring the muse!

Good luck, bb!

[felixfvlicis]

*waves frantically* I'm going to see if I can pull myself away from Tumblr and start in on the wine. And it's raining, so it's perfect.

[torino10154]

Welcome, welcome! We're so glad you oculd join us. :D

[icicle33]

Hi! I'm also just joining. I haven't participated in a firewhiskey fic night in years, so I'm excited it's still going on. <3

I have a couple bottles of wine, but really wish I had some tequila.

[lq_traintracks]

I have tequila! Where are you? LOL. Wine is good though. Welcome bacfk! :D

[lightofdaye]

[lq_traintracks]

Three shots and an a beer and a ahralf and 1.200 words. \o/ How are y'all?>

[felixfvlicis]

I have .... no words. But I just started. Go, you. :D

[tjs_whatnot]

I've reached that level of drunkeness (and hungryness) where I'm perusing take out menues, wondering why hardly anyone delivers to my tiny little town and also pondering if vodka would taste good in a protein shake. :(

[torino10154]

also pondering if vodka would taste good in a protein shake. :(

Let us know....

[alisanne]

Three margaritas and my face is numb.
Also, there are words, whoo hoo!

Oatmeal
Peanut butter protein powder
frozen banana
