so, uh, hello Les Mis fandom! I’m putting this in the tags in the hopes that people might be interested?

I’m writing a fic called Climbing to the Light.

it’s an AU set in Beauxbatons during the 1970s – essentially it follows Valjean, Fantine, and Javert as students & young adults in France, during the rise & eventual (first) fall of Voldemort

it’s unfinished right now, and will probably be a great sprawling hulk of a fic when I’m done, but should be updating at least once a week so that’s exciting!

(involves eventual Valjean/Javert, Fantine/Javert, and trio – be warned)

(there’ll be a sequel about Cosette & Marius & Eponine & the Amis, set in Beauxbatons during the same timeline as the Harry Potter series, but that’s going to be waay in the future)

Many Thanks To @perplexingly For Giving Us Permission To Use Her Gorgeous Piece Of Art Of Mithrellas

Many thanks to @perplexingly for giving us permission to use her gorgeous piece of art of Mithrellas and Nimrodel in our banner. ♥

Femslash February is coming, and Silmladylove is playing Fanworks Drabbletag! 

We’re playing what now?

Fanworks Drabbletag! It’s easy and a lot of fun - all you need to do pick a prompt from the list we’ll be compiling, and answer it, earning the right to send prompts of your own for others to fill. Drabbletag usually is a writing challenge, but we’ve decided to expand it to other types of fanworks - edits, fanmixes, art, fic or meta, and anything else, provided it won’t take too much time and effort (unless you want it to, of course). 

Are there any rules that I should keep in mind?

Not a lot of them! You don’t have to sign up anywhere, we’re keeping things informal and voluntary. For starters, you’re allowed to send in a “free” prompt to get the challenge moving (and sending prompts, either starters or earned ones, does not require you to create any fills), and once you’ve got around to filling, you can earn the right to send in more prompts depending on the length of your fill: 

Up to 250 words/5 songs/a 3-picture edit/a sketch: one prompt. Up to 500 words/10 songs/a 5-picture edit/a clean sketch: two prompts. Up to and above 1000 words/15 songs/a 9-picture edit/a finished piece of art: three prompts.

Of course all prompts and fills should be Tolkien femslash from any point of the Legendarium, featuring female canon characters (rather than Rule 63′d male characters), OFCs, and/or characters of indeterminate gender like Elemmírë or Malbeth who are sometimes read as female by fandom. Please tag your fills as #sll drabbletag so we can find and reblog them for everyone to see - and most of all, have fun! The challenge will be open for prompts for all of February, and if there are fills you only finish after Femslash February ends, please send them in regardless.

We’ll open for starter prompts on January 27th and you can begin sending in fills on February 1st. If you have any questions, please send us an ask and we’ll try our best to help!

IF YOUR ART GETS STOLEN

https://www.tumblr.com/dmca Go there, and do as the instructions say. When my art was stolen, I got the post reported, and it was taken down. Don’t worry, it doesn’t just take down the sources post, but it takes down all the reblogged posts too. Please give this a reblog, many artists out there may not know this is here. And remember, ask permission before sharing, or don’t post it.

For non-anonymous prompts, please also contact the original prompter directly where you can to let them know what you’ve created for them.
