Announcing "Liberty, Epistolary, Fraternity!"
Dracula Daily can be for anything in the public domain.... so why not some non-fiction? LEF will send out, approximately weekly, a letter (of varying length) relevant to the French Revolution on the relevant date. We will begin on 14 Juillet 1789 and slowly make our way to 1794. People can hop on and off the train at any time, and "necroposting" is completely fine.
You can participate by:
subscribing to the Substack (salutpublic.substack.com)
discussing the letter of the week on Tumblr with the tag "#liberty epistolary fraternity" (all kinds of posts are welcome! meta, art, shitposting, etc are all contributing. have fun with it!)
interacting with other people's posts
submitting letters you want to see to this Tumblr with an ask (please do this hehehe)
Because of the long cycle of this subscription, every new month there will be an "off-season" letter, which can be from any point in the French Revolution, or outside within reason, so you can expect four regular letters and one additional letter every month.
LEF is at this moment a solo project by @entropicbunny, in pursuit of accessibility, because BnF's user interface could never. Any questions, requests, etc can come to this blog or the above handle.
(you can also help out! finding and translating letters is always extremely helpful & guarantees any letters' place in it <3) (also please do in general because otherwise it's not impossible for me to forget saint-just's first letter to robespierre, etc, etc.) (and for the most part i'm just doing my best with the digitized stuff)
