As a college student, currently really hungry with nothing to eat, I understand how hard it can be to get food. Sometimes you really just don’t have the money to eat and when you do, you waste it all on fast food instead of stocking up on cheap things because you’re so tired of Ramen Noodes and canned food you could barf. So, I’ve composed a list of recipes and resources that will fit a college kid’s budget and appetite. Don’t go hungry! ❤

*bursts into the room flailing and shouting* HERE IT IS I FINALLY GOT IT UP OFF THE GROUND— *trips, falls on face*

…okay, try again.

The LES MIS ANNOTATION PROJECT is a freely-editable wiki meant to crowdsource all the footnotes and literary/historical references and stuff that fandom can possibly track down. All of them. All that communal nerd knowledge. As obvious or as nit-picky and obscure as you want. All, hopefully, in one place.

HOW IT WORKS: There are (or will be) wiki pages for each chapter of the book, with the Brick text in French and English followed by people’s textual and translation notes. I’ve started it up with a few chapters’ worth of footnotes from the Donougher translation, but you don’t have to copypasta from a published version if you don’t want to (actually, it’s better for copyright issues if you use your own words). Citing sources is good, but if you don’t, someone will probably come along later with the requisite links, so don’t freak out if you don’t have flawless MLA citations handy. Signing up for an account is also good (for keeping track of your own edits, for example), but anon editing is enabled if you don’t want to.

THE PRICE OF ADMISSION: …guys. Guys. There are 365 chapters in this book. And even though I love it to death and got frissons of awesome just from the chapter titles while I was setting up the tables of contents, that is more copy/format/paste grunt work than one person should have to do when anyone can edit this thing. So the price of admission is: if you want to add footnotes for a chapter that doesn’t have a page yet, please please please take the time to set up the page properly and copy the chapter text in. There’s a template and formatting instructions and Project Gutenberg links and everything! Let’s get this sucker filled out and kill those pesky red links.

FEEDBACK: Always welcome! The format of the pages is still totally up for revision if it’s not working for people.

(Sorry for posting this to the Brick!Club tag—a lot of the people who’ve expressed interest in this before are participants, and plus, I’m guessing this is relevant to the interests of most of the people who check it? I promise this will not devolve into repeated spam posts.)

Les Mis Across History: the ENCORE

much-ado-about-carrots:

Hello all! Due to the overwhelming amount of participation in the Les Mis Historical AU Fest last year and the enthusiasm for a reprisal within the current fandom, we’ve decided to bring it back! All forms of art work are valid; cosplay, poetry, prose – however you’d like to be involved. At the end of the week all works located within the official tag ‘Les Mis Across History’ will be gathered into a masterpost for all to see and enjoy. 

The fest will take place from March 16th through the 22nd. We encourage you to continue posting in the tag even after the week ends, because, well, what’s not to love about exploring reoccurring themes throughout humanity’s history with much beloved characters?

Rules as taken from the original LMAH post:

The only restrictions that are going to be in place are no modern* AUs and no works set in the canonical era – there are so many other possibilities and we see both of those frequently enough that it’d be nice to get some fresh air into the fanworks. That aside, any are welcome! 

((* modern used in this sense refers only to the current modern AUs that are prevalent in the fandom right now and do not disclude any works that take place in decades such as the ’20s, ’50s, ’80s, etc; only those in very recent or current history))

If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to send an ask my way or to maedhrys – we look forward to seeing everyone’s contributions!

Playing pretend never gets old. When we’re adults, we tend to limit it to daydreaming, but when we’re kids? We interact with our environment and pretend to be our heroes and favorite characters. Tree branches become lightsabers, or a trash can becomes a perfect substitute for R2-D2′s body. Everything is about playing. Artist Craig Davison captures those moments perfectly with his shadow series.
