It's that time of the year again! Remember to leave out bread and absinthe for Victor Hugo and he will leave you 50 pages on a subject that is off-topic but that he is vaguely interested in. Be safe out there!
made a post a while back on how javert's suicide is often poorly portrayed in film adaptations to the point of accidental comedy, and how the 1978 movie in particular is the most unhinged example. audio warning for a loud trumpet blast, don't turn up your volume
Hey you! This is your formal invitation to contribute to Joly/Bossuet/Musichetta week 2024!
If you're a fan of reading or writing J/B/M fanfic, you've probably noticed that when you search for them on AO3, it's a lot of scrolling past other main ships with J/B/M as a background ship.
Next week from April 21st - 27th 2024 we will be hosting J/B/M week here on tumblr, a week dedicated to any and all fanworks for our fave throuple. We would love to see people using this opportunity to flood the Joly/Bossuet/Musichetta tag on AO3!
We will be keeping an eye on the tag "#JBM week 2024" on tumblr and AO3. If you use the tag on AO3, we will add your fic to our JBM Week 2024 Collection on AO3 and to a JBM Week 2024 Fic Masterlist post here on tumblr.
If you don't want your fic added to the collection or post but still want to use the tag, please clearly state so in the summery or tags of the fic. You can always change your mind later and message us if you want to be added to or taken off either list.
We accept all fanwork's including NSFW, we will tag #NSFW and any triggers where appropriate. Please don't use AI, we want to celebrate fanwork made from the heart 💖
Since it’s come up yet again: no, Victor Hugo was not paid by the word to write Les Misérables, nor any of his other notable works.
While Hugo may have been paid a word rate for his early serialised fiction, by the time of Les Mis’ authorship he was sufficiently famous that he was able to command advance payment in a lump sum.
Indeed, he famously caused his publisher a great deal of anxiety by refusing to discuss how long Les Mis would be, leading to fears that he was planning to turn in a tiny pamphlet-length piece, then take the advance and run. His editors were reportedly extremely surprised at what they actually received!
The reason that Les Mis is the way that it is is because Victor Hugo is just Like That.
Whether you interpret Enjolras as a raging homosexual or a proud aroace lad, I find it a little funny that everyone collectively agrees that man does NOT like women. Sure, it’s explicitly in the text, but usually you’d get at least a few people desperately trying to cope otherwise.
