The group just got the following message from ~how-do-you-do, a Gavroche roleplay account:

'Ello! I'm searching for other Les Mis roleplay accounts. I only know of myself and one other account that roleplay characters from Les Mis. If you know any others, perhaps could you make a journal to inform me?

Do you roleplay Les Mis, in dART or somewhere else? Who are your favourite Les Mis roleplayers or Ask a Character accounts? Share your favourites in the comments of this journal!

Our member ~blackparademajorette is looking for Les Mis fans to interview:

My school is doing an oral history project, and my topic is how Les Misérables has affected the lives of its fans. I'm trying to interview people from around the world. These interviews would be made public, and could vary from telephone/Skype to written exchanges on deviantART. Could people who are willing to participate send me a note or post a comment on my profile? It would be very appreciated.

Think you'd like to share how Les Mis has affected your life? Contact ~blackparademajorette!

As many of you noticed, the previous post – Les Mis movie costumes being brought onstage – was indeed an April Fool's prank. April first is my favourite day of the year, so I couldn't resist the temptation to come up with an fake news article. I hope no one took it too seriously! Enjolras's vest is safe...

But all joking aside, there are some group-related things that I've been meaning to write about.

Recently, we've gotten many submissions that use screencaps from the musical movie. I'd like to remind everybody that in our submission rules, it says you may NOT submit any deviation that uses work you do not have permission to use (i.e. professional photos and screen shots.) Also, please choose the gallery folder you submit to carefully. I know it's really easy to submit to the wrong one, I've made my fair share of mistakes myself... So, I recommend everybody to take an extra look that the folder's correct before hitting that Submit button!

To all of you who are curious about what happened to the LesMisExtended Visual Petition: one copy has now been sent to Tom Hooper, and another will be sent via a different address to double our changes of being seen. Physical copies of the petition consist of 25 pages of artwork and a letter of explanation. Here's to hoping they'll reach Mr. Hooper!

Finally, me and =SarlyneART have been thinking about having a new contest later this spring. SarlyneART suggested a crossover contest where characters from two or more different adaptations or versions (the novel, the various movies, the musical, even the fighting game if you want to use that...) would interact with each other. What do you think about the idea? Would you consider taking part?

Have a lovely April, everybody!
