Carpe Horas

Past Updates

21 February 2010: Added Miss Fantine Had a Lover to the fanfiction section.
20 February 2010: Major update to the tour guide. Added information and corrections to the Field of the Lark page; added photos of Père Lachaise and the church of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas; added additional photos of Montfermeil, the place where Javert jumped into the Seine, the Café Musain, the Rue Plumet, Marius and Cosette's wedding, the Gorbeau tenement, the Field of the Lark, the Rue de l'Homme-Armé, and La Force. Slight reorganization of the gallery pages. More updates will probably follow soon.
9 July 2009: Guestbook spam has been deleted and the guestbook is now on moderation, so your entry won't show up until I approve it. Which I will, unless you're a spambot. Also fixed a few miscellaneous errors.
16 May 2009: Added a new section for translations of the French lyrics of the musical, specifically the 1991 Paris revival version.
16 November 2008: Added a poem by Verlaine, Des Morts, about the Saint-Merry insurgents.
6 May 2008: Added a map of Montfermeil from the 1820s or 30s.
13 April 2008: A new section, the Mizzie Tour Guide, is now online. Everything you ever wanted to know about Montreuil-sur-Mer, Montfermeil, and Paris, at least the parts related to Les Mis. I also made some structural changes, like splitting the overgrown "novel" section into three different pages, and added a new map of the Right Bank of Paris in 1819.
8 March 2008: Added an extended version of Javert's attempted resignation, several new fragments, and Blanqui's speech from the Trial of the Fifteen. Also fixed the coding on accented characters.
7 March 2008: We've moved, folks. Carpe Horas now lives at Chanvrerie.net; the one at seditious.frenchboys.net will stay up, but won't be updated anymore.
9 June 2007 - Well, that was a major update, wasn't it? Took long enough. Layout has been redesigned to be cleaner and more legible; essay section has been taken down pending a complete rewrite; many things have been added to the Book section; and there are a few amusing little Javascript doohickeys in the new section entitled 'Fun.'
24 October 2006 - I'm not dead! And I finally put up translations of the Ami fragments.
8 September 2006 - Added disclaimers to the three soundboards, which are in fact bootlegs, and the Korean cast recording, which is from an unauthorized production. And brief reviews of all four.
10 July 2006 - Another rant on Eponine fic, and why Eppy-bashing is just as bad as Eppy-bopping.
10 July 2006 - Added information--not reviews--on three rare soundboard recordings from Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Mexico. Also a review of the Paris Revival Cast.
