Fest rec and music: Sunshine Challenge, prompt 6 – Firewhiskey and Cheap Thrills

Like some other people at the Sunshine Challenge, I didn't expect indigo to be a prompt. My post is perhaps a bit too purple, but there's some magic here at least.

Firewhiskey Fic January 2020 Proud Participant Banner

I'm proudly showing this banner so as to tempt you all to participate in the next edition of Firewhiskey Fic – this Saturday, the 25th!

Last time (my very first time) was for me (not too long after I'd returned from hiatus and offered my motorbike rides, as I mentioned in my previous post) one of the best experiences of community feel in fandom. For once I – an eternal Remus/Sirius writer – managed not to take writing fic too siriusly. I used all the prompts, one of which was Severus Snape, and surprised myself when while writing a piece full of tipsy typos, I ended up revealing a whole new dimension in my Remus's love life.

The beat for that lovely drunken January night was given to me by Sia in Cheap Thrills:



I chose that version here first because of the colour, but there's another one with a fun video and featuring Sean Paul


The lyrics It's Friday night and I won't be long/ 'Til I hit the dance floor/ Hit the dance floor/
I got all I need/ No, I ain't got cash/ I ain't got cash/ But I got you, baby/ Baby, I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight/ I love cheap thrills


changed in my singing into:
It's Saturday and I won't be long/ 'Til I hit the keyboard/ Hit the keyboard!

Come join in the cheap thrills offered by the fandom! And note, this event is open also for other than HP fic. Any (drunken) fanart is welcome, too.

I'm tempted by Firewhisky. I've never had time to do it before, but maybe this time. . .
