Again, Rich Text is still not working. So have some extremely old-school copy-pasting links.

A low-pressure ficathon, sign-ups open until the 17th!
First, pick a character! Then, pick several canons that do not contain that character. Then, the mods randomise what character your initial character gets to meet. And then, you write a story of at least 500 words where the characters meet in a bar, and what that leads to. Ideal for sci-fi fandoms, or historical fandoms grouped around a specific setting.

Brief but haunting, a snapshot of dystopia.

Entire Stinz comic now available online!
Stinz is a fantasy/Slice Of Life comic about Centaurs living in a Bavaria-like village at the start of a fictional 20th century. They have their own culture and customs, wear pretty trachtenmode, and are largely unaffected by the pesky, pesky war which shakes the outside world.

Badass of the Week: Felix von Luckner 
The story of a man who evidently grew up reading about Wooden Ships and Iron men. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong end of that century. This did not stop his career of non-murderous piracy.

Badass of the Week: Jacob Pavlov
One man. One house. Battle of Stalingrad. (Oh, and a never-ending onslaught of Germans.)

Today's dish was Nama Chocolate.

This is a kind of truffle-like chocolate. I've taken to calling them 'Japanese Truffles'.
Recipe was adapted from here.

For a small batch:

200 g Dark Chocolate. Marabou premium works well. Any dark chocolate is good, as long as the quality is good, ie, no vegetable fat.
100 ml Heavy cream.
1 Tbsp of cocoa powder for garnishing.
(Opional)One Tbsp of Jack Daniels Honey Whisky. The original recipe called for brandy, but any sweet-ish alcoholic beverage will do.

1. Put sheet of baking parchment in a dish with raised sides.
2. Chop chocolate.
3. Heat cream until bubbles appear, just below boiling point.
4. Remove from heat, add chocolate.
5. Whisk until smooth. Add whisky(optional).
6. Pour onto parchment. Throw into freezer for 1-2 hours.
7. Cut up into squares.
8. Sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Keeps for four days.
