Patron-Minette Week 2026

Hello Les Mis fandom! I’m @granhairdo and I am back with Patron-Minette Week again for 2026! Can’t believe it’s been a year since the last one. Hoping to bring fans of the Patron-Minette together, and get some other Les Mis fans in on the bandwagon!

2026 will feature

Regular fanwork submitting

Visual art contest

Group watches of various adaptations

Linking last years posts on these as these will work similarly as they did last year. We have removed many of last years events due to lack of interest. If multiple people are interested in bringing back an event from last year, please let me know.

Join us May 10-17

More information to come. Contact @granhairdo with questions.

Congratulations for to @littlefallof-rain for being our winner of every category in the visual arts contest! Because you were our only entrant, I made you an extra special, very general certificate that you can most certainly take out of context to win any argument because you are now certified for being the bestest ever and winning everything. Thank you for participating!

Check out her awesome piece here!

Allowed Fanwork Types

Most fanworks are allowed, besides relatively low effort posts such as memes, headcanon lists, music playlists, etc. These things have their place, of course, but this is an art and meta focused event :D

Greatly encouraged are unique fanworks such as original songs, poetry, and other forms of visual art than drawing. We love regular things, but branch out for this, have fun!

Happy Patron Minette week ! Have some Patron Minette art where they have a plan. Shhhh !

This one is a hommage to Chris Haughton's picture books, especially Shhhht ! We have a plan !

Because it's so cute and colorful ! I love his books (and the children at work do too.)

Luckily, pictures don't come with soundtracks, because that one's would have been me cursing Gimp up and down in every language I know, on repeat.

But don't worry for the Jehan !

They just wanted to catch Monty a boyfriend !

Shh! We have a plan! (c) Chris Haughton.

(repost because I think the original one has been eaten by the internets)

As a life-long villain enthusiast, I had to submit something for @patronminetteweek. I didn't have much time but I did crank out a few sketches of the P-M bosses.
