>>....But there is fic in English with dialogue in French. *sobs*
I think I would almost prefer that to the fic where all the dialogue is song lyrics...
>> in the Brick he has an actual career that is not 100% centered around Finding Valjean,
Do you have any good scenes for evidence of this?? Because I started with the bit where Marius comes to him to report the kidnapping (which is where the fic I'm writing goes AU), thinking that would be a good place to find Javert just being a policeman, and he is all "THE GORBEAU HOUSE? I CHASED VALJEAN THERE ONCE! AN OLD MAN IN A CHURCH? HO HO HO MUST BE VALJEAN!" and I was like uh, okay, Javert...
(and don't get your hopes up, it is a very silly casefile that I will probably never finish writing. :P)
ALSO YES! You should totally repurpose your fabric for waistcoats! And if you do, report back! (I have had bad luck with trying to sew anything waistcoat-like, the fit is always terrible on me, but then I've never used a 19th-century based pattern.) I would say you should switch over to doing 1830s in general except, well, 1830s fashion. The only time period where disco!fanart can improve the fashion...
