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!

Wow. Um, THANK YOU! You know, I do have to wonder if, even through a cranky premise as that, I might have been workjing rhough my own shame issues, and how I wish I could go back and not feel the shame I felt about whoI was. I'm moved that you got so much out of that story, truly. And thank you for this comment. I've run out of financial aid (hahahaha!), but maybe I can audit enough classes when I'm working to get that MFA after all. ;) I appreciate the vote of confiedence, drunk or not. <3 (Also, 'More than One Way to Polish a Broom'. At least I think that's the name! LOLOL!)

[lq_traintracks]

p.s. sdk thought of that title. <3 (Omg, that code was HARD.)

[torino10154]

Woohoo! Enjoy. :D

[alisanne]

Awww, I'm sorry.
Can you make more?

[torino10154]

Aw, hopefully you can join us another time! :D

[torino10154]

YAY! :D

[torino10154]

LMAO! :D

[plaidphoenix]

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

[alisanne]

Yes, I need one of those pillows as well. :)

[alisanne]

Yes! You can do thisssss!
*cheerleads*

[torino10154]

Any length. Most people seem to manage more than 100 but I think we've had as few as 200ish.

[alisanne]

Dude, I have o sing at church in the morning at 10 and twelve, and I'm still drunk. :)
You can totes do this.

[torino10154]

You have more practice than most. :P

[reg_flint]

yay you!

[lq_traintracks]

Drunk advising ahoy, but no one can tell you what you should be. What do you want? What are your interests, skills, values?  Do I write nonfancfic. Well, not for a very long time. Fanfic is what I love most. But I used to (try) to write poetry from time to time. 

[ruinsplume]

Ah, yes, one way to polish a broom. thanksfo the reminder.

yes, I hear ou about working through your own issues; i feel like every fic I write does that even if I am not aware of it at a the time. I go back later and it's like, duh.

yes, yes, audit! for free!

[ruinsplume]

woah, how do you even code a name in dreamwidth. even sober. *is siriuusly impressed*

[reg_flint]

Thanks! :-)

[alisanne]

LOL! I suppose I do. :P

[abigail89]

BB, I am OLD and can't recover like I used to. I mean, it takes me 3 very long days to get to feeling better. Ugh. I can't do that to myself any more.

Good luck to you, though!

[alisanne]

LOL! I totally understand. :)
And thanks! I am now drinking water to hydrate after the drunken revelry. :)

[reynardo]

*walks in, steps lightly over bottles and sleeping authors*

Sorry, guys. Life here said "7am on a Sunday is ridiculous" and ... *cough* later on was sort of booked too.

But my god - what a party that was! Sorry I missed it.

[torino10154]

NEXT TIME, DAMMIT! We're coming to yours. ;)

[torino10154]

OK, kids. I have finished my fic and am heading off to bed.

Feel free to keep carrying on amongst yourselves as long as you like.

Hopefully someone will lock the door and hit the lights. ;)
