Les Mis Fandom Calendar Update
Now that June has come to a close and July is kicking off, I thought it was about time for a calendar update. So. ^_^ Here you go!
(And as usual, if anyone knows of any fandom weeks or fanwork exchanges coming up that are not on this list, please let me know and I’ll be happy to add them! ^_^)

This year and new stuff!
Hey guys, I just wanted to check in and say some stuff. I’m the new mod for this blog, which really has no impact at all on Courferre Week, but I feel like I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say.
Courferre week is August 7-13th this year, and I’m super excited! (My name’s Cassandra -or Cass if you want-, if you’re wondering) Things are the same as last year, tag your stuff as ‘Courferre week’ when it gets there!
Also, how would you guys feel if I made themes for each of the days? Cool or should it be freestyle?
Yay! I was just about to put out a general ask about this. ^_^ Glad to hear it’s gong to happen and I’ll make sure to add it to the calendar. ^_^
As for themes, I’m usually lucky if I even get anything written for Courferre Week at all, much less written to a theme, but if you think it would motivate people, then why not, right? ^_^
Thanks so much for picking this up! 😀
Just a reminder Les Mis Rare Pairs week is starting in one week on Sunday June 26th!
For a ship to be classified as a rare pair for this week, it has to have under a hundred fics on AO3 (here’s a cheat sheet). If you want to write a platonic relationship, go for it! Just use common sense, Grantaire and Eponine are paired up all the time in fandom but when was the last time you saw Feuilly and Joly doing something together?
Anything, art, fic, photosets, headcanons, cosplay, mixes, etc, is welcome!!
Tag your work with #lesmisrarepairs and/or #lesmisrarepairsweek
Les Mis Fandom Calendar Update
OK, everyone, here we go! Looks like the calendar is filling up, so I thought I’d start posting summary posts, again.
As
always, if you see anything here that is incorrect, or if you know of a
week or exchange or anything that is going on that I haven’t listed,
please let me know so I can get it fixed/added – thanks! ^_^

to tentatively claim this week for Feuilly Week, since the week I ran

Fake Canon-Era History Week: 19-25th June
aka Napkin Ring Martyrs Memorial Week
Who are the Napkin Ring Martyrs, you ask, wearily? Well, the origin is this prototype for a canon-era fanfic prompt, which arose in the middle of a rant about… you know what it doesn’t really matter, thank god:
In 1831 Jean-Michel Actualléresearchedthèse and Jean-Marie Aixknowhistoire almost organised a pre-emptive insurrection in the wake of the Istoribouque napkin ring factory strikes, although in the event they were betrayed by three separate police spies. I’m really interested in how the Amis would have interacted with this – maybe a scene with them in conversation with the principals? Or possibly an AU where they thwarted the spies and succeeded? IDK, do what you feel
Now, having been essentially cyberbullied by fandom into hanging out in the British Library crying gently into
a book about early socialistsa handkerchief, I promise, no tears got on the book, please don’t put me on a List – having been thus cyberbullied, I For One kind of want to take my revenge on reality, academia, any way of learning about history other than those segments on the Great British Bake-Off where lovely Sue Perkins strolls around talking about the invention of bread pudding, and the general concept of The Past. This revenge will take the form of Misinformation and Lies.After all, it’s what those two brave forgotten Heroes of the People Citizen Actualléresearchedthèse and Citizen Aixknowhistoire would have wanted. Well, mostly they would have wanted to build a Republic based on principles of equality and shared ownership of the means of production, but failing that I think they’d have settled a load of people on tumblr making up fake 1830s historical research and/or fiction. And since failing that was kind of their speciality I think they’re going to have to settle after all.
So! Citizens of this Blue Hell, rise up! Join me and Citizen @pilferingapples, who would be aghast at being described as the sensible half of this endeavour, in memorialising them thusly. Here are some ideas for what you might want to produce and share during this momentous week:
- Detailed pseudohistorical accounts of political unrest and sedition
- A scene where Feuilly and Combeferre discuss said unrest and sedition in a totally clunky exposition-heavy fashion because goddammit you took notes on the whole chapter and you’re damned if you’re leaving any of the details out
- Hitherto undocumented sleeve variants
- Some of the less well-known medical theories of the time, and why Joly would have found them 100% convincing
- Talk about your weird AU/headcanon where Enjolras is some sort of haut-bourgeois student instead of a hardworking printer (feel free to invent fake facts to justify yourself)
- Responses to and/or elaborations on the original prompt, because why not?
- That thing that came to mind just now and made you giggle to yourself
- Seriously just go nuts
This begins one week after the @lesjoursdete fills are due; the idea is that it will be Particularly Cathartic if that’s what you’ve been doing with yourself for god knows how long. However, it is open to any and all.
Tag your Stuff with #Napkin Ring Martyrs, or #napkinringmartyrs if you dislike spaces and capital letters and being able to discern the individual words in things.
It’s been a while, but… how’s about an update? ^_^

In brighter news, it looks like the Les Mis Fandom Calendar
is starting to fill up again and that makes me VERY HAPPY. ^_______^
If anyone knows of any weeks or exchanges that are happening that aren’t
on the calendar, please let me know so I can add them? And if you
decide that YOU want to run a week, I’ll be happy to add it to the calendar. Just saying. ^_^
Hey Les mis fandom, can we have a rarepair week?? This post gave me like 6 new ships I want to write for.
Yeah, those are fun!:D @eirenical, what’s a good open date on the calendar?
OH GOSH. I’m sorry, for some reason the mention didn’t work and I missed this. O_O And oh man, I’m ALWAYS up for a rarepair week!
Anyway, as far as I know, everything is wide open. The only thing going on is @lesmissummerhols gearing up and the @lesmis-bigbang winding down? I haven’t heard anything else about anyone running a week any time in the near future. So, whatever week you want, it’s yours @spearmintstardust!
But if you’d like to check out the calendar, here it is: Les Mis Fandom Calendar.
(…that reminds me, I need to get the LM Summer Holds dates on there. Oops. ^_^)
So, yeah. Pick a week and it’s yours! Just let me know which one you pick/the details of the week, so I can put it on the calendar. ^_^
Yo I am READY for this.
Looking at the LMBB, Summer Hols and my schedule, I want to say the last week of June? June 26-July 2?
I’m going to make a side blog for this and try to figure out what ships won’t qualify. ♥
Done! The week is yours. ^_^ Just let me know when you decide what tag you want to use and make the side blog and everything and I’ll be happy to add those to the calendar page..
