I'm almost done with The Count of Monte Cristo, and I was quite vexed to discover that not only was my version abridged, it cut out the entire Cavalcanti subplot, as well as Eugénie and Louise. Honestly! With that much liberty taken in abridgment, how is one to know how fiercely MM. Dumas and Hugo were striving for the title of Most Blatant Homosexual Subtext Evar?

Why, I might have to write Eugénie/Cosette as an act of personal revenge against the editor.

( Personal crap behind the cut. I don't think it's wangsty, but you never can tell, can you? )

*splutter*

The overall response to my whining about how Nobody Else Participates seemed to be "I'm interested, but I don't want to look stupid."

*grabs you all by the shoulders and shakes vigorously*

I don't care if you look stupid. If I can make stupid posts about wanting to have sex with Enjolras, do you really think I care if you make stupid comments in response to the stuff I put up? I don't post shinies so I can carry on Elitist Academic Discussion about my research, I post them because they're shiny. I don't expect anyone to know shit about 1830s France; that's why I'm posting this stuff. And in any case, random fangirl bweeing is so much infinitely better than silence, because something interesting results from it half the time, and the other half at least was entertaining.

And to prove the point, I officially declare this post to be a (nominally) fandom-related SPAMFEST. Anyone who doesn't regularly comment is doubly invited to participate. SPAM ME, GUYS. Look stupid. Introduce yourself. Bring your sockpuppets. Have a party.
