Don't Whine; Drink Wine!

Jane and Alison are observing National Drink Wine Day in the traditional manner, although I don't foresee the evening ending well for either of them. Feel free to have a glass or two yourself in honor of the day, but don't take anyone up on their offer to show you their pastels. Just...don't.

Fanfic Update!

• The Game of Six, by Erin M. (part 2): "'The Game of Six?' Twilight echoed. 'Well, it's an old Equestrian game, dating back before the pre-Classical Era. It kind of fell out of fashion after chess was invented. I don't think anypony plays it anymore.'"

• Once You See, by lulamae-golightly (part 6): "Stacy was one of the only ones eating outside at lunch. Quinn looked out the window and saw her, nibbling on her sandwich and trying to keep her hair out of her face. She rose from her chair and began walking out."

• Unnamed story (1,001 Deaths of Tom Sloane - Part II), by Brother Grimace (COMPLETE!): "Trent looked at the impossibly smug Tom Sloane and the incredibly lecherous Upchuck. 'Take them... to the Iron Maiden.'"


• Unnamed story (The 1001 Humiliations of Quinn Morgendorffer), by Shiva (COMPLETE!): "As Quinn sat down to lunch with the others members of the Fashion Club, she noticed once more the strange, amused looks on her friends faces."
