The deadline now looms very near, but here's a little extension for you! I'll be keeping the AO3 collection open for submissions until an hour before reveals — it's not much, but it still gives you an extra day if you need it. Also, if you're posting your work somewhere else, don't forget to give me the link so that I can include it in the roundup post.

Apologies to those who have contacted me during the last few days! My ISP went down over the holidays, and I just got back online. I'm working on getting caught up and responding ASAP, so please hang on just a little while longer.

Good luck to everyone who's still working, and thank you for taking part! ♥

There's now roughly a week left to submit your works to the AO3 collection. I hope your drinks have been to your taste, but if not then please don't hesitate to ask for a replacement! Or, if everything is on track, I'd be more than happy to give you a refill if you'd like to create multiple things!

Good luck with finishing, I really look forward to seeing what you all create! ♥

Hi there, and welcome to The Cocktail Hour!

This is a low-pressure challenge that works in the following way: When you sign up you'll receive the name of a mixed drink. You then have to take inspiration from it in some way — literal, figurative, using it as the title of your work, anything goes! — and create a work of any type. (And, if you'd like, mention which cocktail you got in the notes when posting your work.)

If the drink name you receive doesn't do anything for you, just ask for another! You can also ask for multiple cocktails if you'd like to create more than one work.

The deadline to submit your works to the AO3 collection is at 23:59 GMT on the 30th of December. It will go live at 00:01 GMT on New Year's Day, a traditional time to enjoy drinks.

Please see the FAQ for more information, and don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear!

Is this for fanworks only, or can I create something original?

Both are equally welcome!

What types of works are allowed?

Basically, if you created it in some way, then it's okay. You can write, draw, sculpt, compose, whatever!

Must my work be about alcohol and/or drinking?

No, not at all! You can interpret the cocktail name you're given in any way you choose, from the most literal to the vaguest of inspirations.

What are the minimum/maximum requirements?

There are none. Doesn't matter if it's a rough sketch or a polished painting, a drabble or an epic, etc.

I'd like to sign up, but I don't have a DW account. Can I still take part?

Absolutely! You can either comment anonymously on the sign-up post, or with OpenID. The latter enables you to use some other social-media account you may have, such as Twitter. You can also email me if you'd prefer, and I'll send you the name of your cocktail.

I'd like to post my finished work to the AO3 collection, but I don't have an account.

Let me know and I'll do my best to get you an invite.

I have another question...

Please comment right here or drop me an email at galerian.ash@gmail.com, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
