Etudiante, fainéante, républicaine et bonne à rien. Who:
Twentysomething fannish academic. Devotee of Vidocq, Lyonnaise at
heart, an accidental scholar of the nineteenth-century French penal
system and a quasi-expert on Hugo’s “Le Dernier Jour d'un
condamné.” My primary contributions to the fandom are the #Toulon
asks tag and my Toulon-era, Chenildieu-centric fic “The Irreparable
Abandonment of a Thinking Being.” You may also know me as the source
of the words in Susan Bin’s Rudolph rant
[http://yosb.tumblr.com/post/42990681512/its-a-metaphor-yosb]. What:
This tumblr started out as repository of 1789-1848 French geekery but
evolved inevitably into a Les Mis blog. It retains its original
purpose by being the home of the Toulon ask. I talk about
nineteenth-century French convicts most of the time and often blur the
line between fiction and reality while doing so. When: From March 2013
onwards. I don’t post as frequently as I should. Where: New York.
Why: Because I have to talk about The Thing somewhere.
