Welcome to the April 2017 Earth Day edition of [community profile] firewhiskeyfic! We, your Mods - [personal profile] sdk and [personal profile] 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)


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!

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

Not P since he had the flu, but maybe C?

LOL That's exactly what they recommend for underage children. Lighting your cigs and going down to the corner store for a fifth. :P

how would they make alcoholic root beer/ginger beer? Make regular stuff and add alcohol? Or make regular beer and add root/ginger flavouring.

What does root beer taste of anyway? I remember trying it on a family trip to canada years ago but it was just really sweet.

That clears things up immensely. :)

I actually have no idea how they make it. Same way they make hard cider?

And googling tells me it's sassafras root but that's carcinogenic so most is artificially flavored. LOL

The closest thing in flavor is maybe Dr Pepper but I don't think you have that either.

LOL It's what we do!

Root beer is sweeter, less bubbly but also less acid. It's better for your teeth than any other soda in that regard.
