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!

Ok. I don't know if you got the whole French question tackled already. As native speaker of French, I can tell you that what your friends suggested above is coorect.

You can say
"A votre santé!" or "A ta santé" depending if you're talking to more than one person, just one and/or the degree of formality. (votre= more than one person or one person but formal situation. ta= one person and a close friend).

God help us all would be something like
"et que Dieu vous protège" or "et que Dieu nous protège". (vous= you. nous= us.)

However you cannot say as I read above, "à notre santé". In this case, you could say "à la notre". The meaning is different, but the idea is the same.

wychwood's suggestion is alright but it's be better with que: Que Dieu nous garde!

And obviously I can't write English correctly. Sorry about the typos.
