Fic help?

[trinityofone]

My Kink & Cliché fic is due, um, today, and my Google-fu is failing me. Can anyone help me with a couple pieces of information?

1. I need a toast in French. Basically, some sort of raise your glass, for luck, or even "God help us all"-type thing (that last might actually be the best). My own French is pathetic and awful.

2. I need the names of a couple of literary/academic journals. The only one I can think of is Partisan Review, but I need at least two--one kind of pretentious and stuffy, the other a bit better. The slightly less stodgy one would have to have been willing to publish an article about War and Peace.

If anyone can help me with these things, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks!

"To your health"? (I think?) Hmm. Could he say "À notre santé," or would that be considered rude to include himself?

It's "To your health"/"And to yours." That's the traditional form, so far as I know. It might be a little weird for him to come out with "À notre" instead, given that he is a French teacher. Of course, I may very well be completely mistaken, and native French speakers are welcome to correct me. :)

I may avoid the issue entirely and use wychwood's suggestion of "Dieu nous garde." Does that sound right to you?

[siria]

Yup. Though frankly, you're really asking the wrong person. My Irish and German were always better than my French.

You're back, yays! I think I'm gonna send you the whole scary thing. Erk.

Huzzah, says I.
