The Genesis of Cake Night for Amadi, by everysecondtuesday

[bessemerprocess]

Title: The Genesis of Cake Night
Recipient: Amadi
Fandom/s: The Daily Show/The Colbert Report
Rating: G
Warnings: None.
Characters: Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Evelyn McGee-Colbert
Prompt: Jon & Stephen, friends with chocolate cake
Disclaimer: Very much a work of utter fiction. All TV shows belong to their respective owners, Ho Hos to Hostess, and people to themselves. All characters' resemblances to the actual people is superficial at best. As far as I know, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert never actually instituted Cake Night at The Daily Show.

Author: everysecondtuesday
Notes: Thanks so much to Sarken for the kick-ass beta. Anyone curious as to when the first Cake Night takes place who doesn't want to look up which correspondents were around when: the answer is sometime in 2002. I had to check Wikipedia, because at first my faulty memory wanted to include some correspondents who never served together. If anyone has a recipe for double chocolate peanut butter fudge, I would welcome with open arms your sharing. (The recipe, though actual fudge would not be rejected. *grin*)

( Cake night began neither with cake, nor at night. It began with the fact that Jon Stewart, worst boss in history, was a lunch thief. )

Late Night Wanderings for scissorphishe, by audeamus

[bessemerprocess]

Title: Late Night Wanderings
Recipient: scissorphishe
Fandom/s: White House RPF/West Wing
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: minor swearing and bourbon sipping
Characters/Pairing: the Obamas, Rahm Emmanuel, President Bartlet, Josh Lyman
Prompt: Sometime post-election and pre-inauguration (it can be the day of the Inauguration if you like), one or more members of the Bartlet administration meet with their Obama administration counterparts. I especially like the idea of one or more of the following: Bartlet and Obama, Sam and Favreau (think of the potential lulz!), Josh and Rahm (THINK HOW EPIC), or CJ with anyone -- but Leo with Axelrod, or Josh with David Plouffe, or Dr. Bartlet with Michelle Obama could also be interesting. Or throw them all together at once if you like

Author: audeamus
Notes: I'd like to expand on scenes like this (meetings between the two Administrations). It was a ball writing Bartlet, I think he's a favorite. Big big thanks to my late-night beta jesidres, I even learned some new grammatical rules in the process.
