The passage of time what even is it? This weekend is the Summer Edition of the Firewhiskey Fic Challenge on Dreamwidth...and I still haven't posted the results from the Winter Edition!

The Autumn Edition of the Firewhiskey Fic Challenge was my fourth time participating in that challenge, and the other participants voted my fic ("Night Vale Community Radio Announcements" -- the link for which will appear in a separate post) to be the funniest entry in the challenge! That makes me "4 in a row" and "4 for 4" at 1st place awards in Firewhiskey Fic challenges. Also, each time a fic of mine was a 1st place winner it was in a different one of the six possible categories...and now I really want to win a 1st place in the other two categories (like "collect the whole set" LOL).

The Summer Edition of the Firewhiskey Fic Challenge was my third time participating in that challenge, and the other participants voted my fic (Insomnia is Not the Agent: the “Satisfaction is the Agent” Remix, the link for which will appear in a separate post) to be the best use of prompt in the challenge!

Almost time for another round of Firewhiskey Fic, the creating-fanworks-while-inebriated challenge!

This comm started out in HP fandom, but is now multifandom.

More details next week.

Current Mood: anticipatory

This was my first time writing for the recurring Firewhiskey Fic Challenge, a 48-hour period during which fanworks creators drink "adult beverages" or "do the 420" and create their fanworks "under the influence" with no editing allowed. Participants then view all the fanworks and vote on them in the categories of Most Coherent Entry, Least Coherent Entry, Funniest Entry, Favorite Entry, Best Use of Prompt, and Best Smut. The award for Most Coherent Entry is considered to be the "booby prize" because the fic is supposed to be the clear result of intoxication. Alas, I was awarded Most Coherent Entry -- apparently that amount of Moscow Mules, equalling 8 ounces of vodka and 16 ounces of beer, was not enough to put a dent in my spelling, grammar, and story continuity.

Title: Father and Child Reunion (Is Only a Moment Away)
Fandom: due South
Rating: Teen and Up
Category: M/M
Relationship: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski
Characters: Benton Fraser, Ray Kowalski, Robert "Bob" Fraser, Damien Kowalski
Length: 620 words
Summary: Spoken father-son interactions with an undercurrent of unspoken thoughts.
