[themiserablesmonth]

All right! I'm very last minute calling all Les Mis content creators! (traditional artists, digital artists, writers, cosplayers, mood-boardists, podcasters, miscellaneous, etc!)

@thepiecesofcait graciously let me mod this Miserable(s) Month, and I made this prompt list for October! I know it's last minute so don't worry about following the whole list, any and all les mis-related content is welcome!

@feuillyweek is also happening during the month and you can tag your feuilly works to this blog if you want to be reblogged here

Follow @themiserablesmonth to keep up with all the works throughout this October!

How to participate - and fully written prompt list - is below the cut:

The 31 prompts correlate to the days of October and this challenge is meant to encourage you to develop a consistent creative habit, but not to overwhelm you! You can follow if you like, or you can make one entry unrelated to the list, it's all up to your personal enjoyment!

The idea is to have a fun, creative month.

The one rule you have to follow is that pieces relate back to Les Miserables in some way, in any of it's variants

Post your pieces on the day they correlate to (or mix it up!), use the hashtags #The Miserables Month or #TheMiserablesMonth and tag this blog @themiserablesmonth so I can see your work!

Works will be reblogged all through October, and for the first week of November.

per a reader's request, im taking a stab at turning this one-shot i wrote for @themiserablesmonth into a multi-chapter... read preview for 2nd chapter below the image.

Contrary to what some of Les Amis de l’ABC thought, Enjolras was not averse to admitting he was wrong. He scarcely believed himself to be wrong — that much was true. But when it became clear to him that he had, in fact, committed some error, he moved to correct that error without delay. 

That character trait explained why Enjolras, chastened by Éponine, had texted Grantaire to apologize. What it didn’t explain, however, was why Enjolras found himself following that message with another, inviting the drunkard for coffee. It also didn’t explain why he had been staring at his phone for the past several minutes as the three dots which indicated typing appeared and disappeared repeatedly.

When a message finally came through, Enjolras almost jumped. Only to see: Grantaire 11:56 am fghj;;;;;; Enjolras frowned at his phone. A moment later, another message appeared.  Grantaire 11:57 am oops. sry.  The three dots commenced their appearing and reappearing. Then another nonsensical message. Finally: Grantaire 11:59 am R would love to go for coffee. 

Enjolras cocked an eyebrow. 

Grantaire 12:00 pm awerf 

Grantaire 12:01 pm sry. éponines been wrestling me for my phone.

Grantaire 12:02 pm

The Miserable(s) Month 2021

Day 1: Coffee // Day 2: Fire @themiserablesmonth

[ID: two square black pen drawings side by side. At the top there are the words 'The Miserables Month'. The drawing to the left, labeled '1-Coffee' features Mabeuf from the chest up touching the fruits of a coffee plant, surrounded by leaves. He's smiling. The drawing on the right labeled '2-Fire' features a close up of Valjean's face while he lights a candle with another one. He's cupping the flame with his hand and his face is lit up dramatically.
