SPOTLIGHT ON: "Deux Poèmes", by Suzanne Sauvain

In this simple, bittersweet duet of short poems, Suzanne contrasts Eponine and Marius to touching effect, without being either trite or implausible. Bookmark this one.

"A Very Joly Christmas", by Chibi_Musichetta_Pinceau

Young Chibi makes her fanfic debut with a truly clever story about Joly and how he became the peculiar young man we all know and love.

WHAT'S NEW:

What's new? Mes amis, I may not have sent out the last issue, but this one's a doozy!

The winners of the Christmas contest have been selected! Visit the contest page at http://www.mv.com/users/ang/fanfic/contest1.html to find out. I'd like to thank everyone who entered; it was very hard to decide between all the excellent stories!

Several new features have been posted since the last issue. In the Articles, "The Les Miserables Mary Sue Litmus Test", submitted by Laurel, pinpoints the characteristics of the dreaded Marie-Suzette, and Stefanie's "Mini-Dictionary of Argot", under Resources, collects all the street slang found in the novel for your convenience.

Coming soon: more interviews, an illustrated guide to 1830's fashion, and a new contest! Stay tuned.
