Happy Valentine’s Day! Have A Fandom Chocolate Giveaway!
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the Pinto bar is inviting all Pinto beans to participate in a fandom chocolate giveaway.
YES! You create your very own, personal, crazy, amazing, fannish chocolate recipe, and I will send you that exact chocolate – if you’re one of the four lucky winners.
Here’s how it works:
Go to the “Mi-Xing bar” of the Zotter online shop where you can customise your own personal chocolate. (By the way, Zotter is not only one of the best chocolate makers of the world, their chocolates are also fair trade and organic!)
Compose a Pinto fandom chocolate! Zotter allows you to choose one (or more) kinds of chocolate, up to one filling, and various toppings. Write down “your” recipe and come up with a suitable fandom name for your composition.
Participate in the Pinto bar fandom chocolate giveaway! The deadline is Pi(e) Day (that is March 14, 2016).
To win your personal fandom chocolate, you have to do only two things:
Make a Tumblr post that contains the name and the recipe of your Pinto fandom Zotter chocolate tagged with “#pinto bar chocolate”.
Send an e-mail with your composition and your Tumblr name to: pintobar AT party DOT ms
Deadline: You have until Pi(e) Day (that is March 14, 2016) to participate in the Pinto bar fandom chocolate giveaway.
When Pi(e) Day has rolled around, I will pick four winners from all participants. As a prize they will get “their” fandom chocolate, of course!
Have fun & happy Valentine’s Day!
Cheers,
Satis & the Pinto bar beans
So, a long time ago, I was in the Pinto Bar sharing pics while writing Bleary-related stuff, and this one was shared (by @satismagic nee Juno, I believe). And like a TOTAL idiot, I didn’t save it. And then months later when I wrote Fathers’ Day, I searched for it FOR DAYS, and just had to write with it as faded-memory-picspiration. But today @soproudofya gave it to me, and I’m SO GRATEFUL I NEVER WANT TO LOSE IT AGAIN.
So here it is: Bleary!verse’s Zach and Nathan circa Fathers’ Day.
“My hand may have slipped and picked up more than one.”
“Hmmm. Nonna’s prerogative.” He handed her a glass of wine.
“Indeed,” she said with a sly grin, nudging his knee so he would scoot over on the sofa. He slid to one end so she could sit beside him. “He is the sweetest of boys, Zachary. You and Chris are clearly doing an amazing job. And he’s the smartest one-and-a-half-year-old I’ve ever seen. His love for books…” She shook her head in mock disbelief.
“Chris’ influence,” Zach said with a proud chuckle.
“Not just his, but yes.” She patted his knee like she had when he was a boy and whispered conspiratorially, “All the other grandmas are going to be so jealous.”
Zach barked a laugh and downed more of his wine. It was nice. A rich Cab that that seemed to melt against his tongue and warm his soul. Or maybe that was the company.
