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!

fell asleep for a bit,sorry and forgot to send. :) sent now! THank you for the wondeufl memeories I probably won't have and the hangover i for sure will. :D love/hate you all!!! lololololl.

[starduchess]

Nice to meet you, if only briefly! If you are up, we can still talk.
What part of HP fandom are you in (ships)? I'm mostly Snarry, but also enjoy H/D and Draco/Hermione and some Snape/Hermione.

[bixgirl1]

Hi!!! i'm sorry I'm still pretty drunk
Lol. I'm so going ro feel this tomorrow. Lo lol. I'm mainly drarry but. I've read a bit.of Evey thing. 😊 are you on ao3?

[starduchess]

yeah, I'm here and on AO3 (same name). I've had this journal for years now, but only cross-posted my fic entries, not my rambling private entries from LJ. Guess i'll have to change that around now. I also have an IJ account, but that's been pretty dead over there. I haven't got everything over to AO3 yet, need to get thtat done. I just hate reformatting everything.
I think you can get to all my stuff here. A few of the Snarry entries are still at snape_potter. I'm also at FF.net with my tamer stuff.
I run hp-podfic-fest (which I need to move over to here) and help run hp-halloween. You should come join us!

[torino10154]

You know, AO3 has an import option. Not as easy as DW's but you can select I think it's 25 URLs at a time. You can then tweak them a bit, add more tags, etc. When I did mine, I just did a month a time until I'd got them all. Worth considering.

[starduchess]

Ugh, yes, I know AO3 has the import function, and I've used it successfully once, but lately it keeps giving me an error "can't import this page", even on just one entry. So I don't really know what's going on. And the thought of putting in all those < p > markings by hand is annoying.

[torino10154]

When I did mine, I started importing but then it stopped working. I ended up copying and pasting the majority from my IJ. I didn't need to add the paragraph indications, it copied over just like it does from my docs.

Not denying it's a ton of work. LOL it is. Like I said, I did a month at a time then would take a break. Sometimes for months at a time. Lol

[torino10154]

Thanks for participating! Hope you're feeling OK this morning. :D

[lq_traintracks]

I'm so glad you joined! :D I hope you don't feel awful today!

[bixgirl1]

Me too! I had a lot of fun. ...I think. Lol.
(This fest is only once every few months, right? Checking for a friend. Who is worried about her liver.)

[torino10154]

LMAO Yes. Best guess will be sometime over the summer now.

[alisanne]

*hugs*
Hope you're okay today. <3

[bixgirl1]

All better, thanks! I was completely worried about a hangover because I so rarely drink but idk, I guess I must have chugged water last night or taken Advil before passing out for the final time. Just a light headache, which I can handle.
(Although, I did inexplicably cut my fingernails really short. I mean, I dont keep them super long or anything, but I guess I got carried away trimming them? Also did a shit job of it. Lololol)

[alisanne]

Good, I'm glad you're doing okay.
I drank water last night, too. Not enough to prevent getting drunk, obviously, but it seemed to work for this morning. I feel good today. :)

Eeep! Drunk nail cutting sounds dangerous! *pets*

[bixgirl1]

I know, right?! They're trimmed near down to the cuticle. Just... Why?!

Glad you're feeling okay, too. Looks like most of us escaped relatively unscathed. Lol

[alisanne]

Ouch!

And yes, it seems we did okay overall. *g*
