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!

Heh, this is actually for the English AU that I'm writing, where John is a professor and Rodney's a student. The problem is, despite being an English major myself, I'm the most oblivious person alive, so I don't really know what I'm talking about. Can I send you the relevant scene? If you promise not to laugh at me too much? ;-)

Like I'd *ever* laugh at you :-)

Send it on. i'm dropping off the kids but will get to it as soon as I'm back in about an hour... cathexys @ livejournal.com.

And you're making Rodney the student? Cool. He'd be utterly impossible, wouldn't he?

looking fwd to reading the scene and to totally throwing my own miserable publishing advice stories in there (b/c you know John'd be pragmatic and finding the journals that would totally get him tenure without killing himself whereas Rodney would be shooting for the stars and be utterly pretentious and try to play in the big league :-)

*jumps up and down...i *love AUs and hatehatehate English departments at this very moment ;-)*
