Here I go again...
Mar. 17th, 2004 06:43 pmlamardeuse.livejournal.com...late as usual. When I thought of a foreign language for this challenge, I immediately thought of my beloved Joual, which has now been covered most ably by other writers.
Well...c'est ma langue, maudite calvaire de saint-ciboire, and I don't feel like researching Italian or Esperanto, so...with a little help from Paul Piché, I'm rehashing it.
There's even a dash of Smoking!Ray thrown in for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brooklinegirl, and poutine for doll_revolution. All this and fluorescent hair too.

When Fandoms Collide
Mar. 17th, 2004 05:10 pmshayheyred.livejournal.comIn light of the way I'm juggling two fandoms at the moment, and with the inspiration of "many tongues," I offer,

Many Tongues, part deux
Mar. 17th, 2004 06:41 amtyk.livejournal.comOk. this is not really quite finished, but part of what i think can become a longer piece if i get the nerve up to try. My other Speaking in Tongue could be considered maybe the end -- i just now need to see if the middle is worth it.
and i'm in the midst of driving to and from a conference, so if i don't post replies quickly, i'm not being rude

The Many Tongues Challenge
Mar. 17th, 2004 12:01 ambrooklinegirl.livejournal.comNot quite so last minute as last week! I present to you my Many Tongues Challenge response. Plot and title shamelessly stolen from the A-Team episode. A plot that was, in fact, shamelessly stolen from the Starsky and Hutch episode "Shootout." If Stephen J. Cannell can do it, then so can I (a conjecture that is sure to take me far in life).
Thanks tolynnmonster, who suggested I write incisively logical Ray (only Ray just didn't take well to logic and sort of sent the story down a different path). And huge thanks to justacat for wonderful, last-minute beta-work above and beyond the call of duty. This story wouldn't be anywhere near what it is without her.
( Without Reservations (2762 words) )

Mar. 15th, 2004 12:30 amdsudis.livejournal.comThe only way I could get Ray to speak French was if I borrowed him from an AU, so, herewith, the Ray and Fraser from the hockey AU I am very slowly writing, in which Ray and Fraser are, y'know. Hockey players.
Warnings: NC-17, inexpert French, Quebecois slang courtesy of Wikipedia.
With thanks toheuradys for beta-read, everybody in #discourse and brooklinegirl for encouraging me, and iuliamentis for her knowledge of French and her most excellent dictionary.
2682 words of slutty drunk French-speaking AU smut.

And, for those who prefer their French translated...

Rating - NC-17 (Well, ok, maybe an R but hey! I never wrote slash - ever, dammit! For me this is like, NC-25!)

ADMIN POST: The Many Tongues Challenge
Mar. 9th, 2004 03:15 pmcesperanza.livejournal.comThis one was, as I recall, batted around by assorted the assorted DS fans who came to NYC for the Gay Pride Parade last year, and just recently re-suggested by pearl_o, who framed it very nicely as follows:
Edited to add the timeframe--ha!--like that matters! It's Tuesday by my watch, which you know, runs funny. Still, I'll probably close the challenge after next Tuesday at midnight. *g*
pearl_o, who framed it very nicely as follows:Maybe a Foreign Language Challenge: at least one sentence in the story in a language other than English? Canada has two official languages, Fraser speaks a half-dozen or so himself -- there's Italian at the Vecchios', there's Inuit stories, there's foreign criminals galore, there's quotations and restaurant menus and travel and attempts at romance in any tongue you could want.(--or with many tongues, I suppose; hey, you want to interpret the challenge that way? Like I'm gonna stop you...)
