My Inner Life/Drinking Game

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

manwithoutabody came up with two drinking games for the legendary badfic My Inner Life while doing a Dramatic Reading. The easier of the two is the plot points version:

  • Whenever there's a sex scene, you drink.
  • Whenever there's a Costume Porn scene, you drink.
  • Whenever you come across an unnecessary Triforce symbol, you drink.
  • Whenever Jenna develops a new power at exactly the right moment, you drink.
  • Whenever a plot point is introduced, then wrapped up within the same chapter, you drink.
  • Whenever a canon character's name is misspelled (particularly Ganondorf), you drink.
  • Whenever there's a blatant contradiction of Zelda canon, you drink.
  • Whenever a character makes some sort of personal sacrifice just for the benefit of Link and Jenna's relationship, you drink.
  • Whenever someone boots the horses in the legs, you drink.
  • Whenever Dalamar tells them to "Hurry up! We must make hast!", you drink.
  • Whenever the word "dead" or "cold" is used in an illogical context, you drink.
  • Whenever Jenna cries tears of either joy or sorrow.

But if you really hate your liver, there's the "key words" version:

Rytex would like to make a contribution.

  • Every time it is stated or implied that Jenna is given something that a non-Hylian would never have (e.g. The Ocarina of Time, a position in the Royal Family, etc.), take a shot. Drain the cup if if Link used to own it.

Fofa has an idea.

  • Every time Link Jr doesn't act like a baby his age (or at all), take a shot. If you're at the point where he's doing math at four months, drain the cup.
