It's so lovely how both the admins' personalities here really shine through...love the capitalization/no caps thing you've decided to do! x
uh…are these obvious personalities a good thing? XD but really though i (elissa) just kind of ignore capitalization everywhere on tumblr tbh
i’m glad you’re enjoying how we’re running lmc! :)
for future reference: what is a submission?
just to clarify…when requests are closed (like they are now) please do NOT submit a random les mis-related picture and just tack on your text request in the caption!
submissions should consist of an image of your choice with the text of your confession already included in the graphic. the caption field is optional; you may retype your confession as text if you’d like but you are by no means required to do so.
if you would like us to include a particular photo/illustration in your graphic but you don’t plan on making the graphic itself (i.e. pasting the confession text onto the picture) then please wait until requests are open again! once requests are allowed, you may send in your preferred picture as a submission, with the confession text in the caption. if requests are open and you send in a plain image, we will assume that you would like us to create a graphic for you using the attached image.
to summarize: when requests are closed, please DON’T send us an uncaptioned picture with your plain text attached; at this time the submissions box should only be used for premade confessions.
thank you!

i love this blog! if i had a tumblr, i would follow you :)
thank you anon! you should think about getting a tumblr…if you want to participate in the les mis community you’re bound to find some new friends :)
Requests Closed to Reduce Backlog
No worries, they should be open in a week or so. Submissions for user-created confession graphics are still open, and the askbox will remain accessible for questions only.
Hello, in passing response to the recent posts about foreign language recordings: Dress circle (a shop in covent garden but they have an internet site that you can buy through) often have many of the foreign recordings: as a musicals fan studying languages, I have spent far too much money here.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Here is a link to the shop’s Les Mis-related merchandise: dresscircle.co.uk
What's project Gutenberg?
it’s a free online collection of public domain books (aka mostly classics/older titles) and they have les mis right here! you can download the kindle version or the epub version for other readers…or you can browse the brick online via the html link :)
be warned that it’s the isabel hapgood edition…it usually isn’t viewed as the best translation out there but hey it’s unabridged
actually, what happened was I tossed my the book to my dad so he could put it in the car (we were about to go on a road trip) and I missed and hit his face. :/
….lol whoops
I am interested in knowing how that anon managed to accidentally whack a person with a book as big as Les Mis. Teach me your ways, anon, so I may use the power against my enemies.
you could always go for the strategic edge-of-bookshelf brick placement…whenever someone insults it just nonchalantly lead them over to the shelf and WHOOPS your arm just happened to magically move and thump the side of the shelf and oh SHIT there goes the brick toppling straight down onto their foot
this works best with larger editions like the julie rose hardcover
yesterday you said that only the hardback version of Les Mis makes a good weapon. I once accidentally gave someone a black eye with my paperback copy.
man you don’t even know how many times i’ve dropped the brick on my foot
that thing hurts like hell
