Boring as in they focus entirely on the revolution boys, but only because they're attractive, doomed boys, not for any distinguishing character traits. At least, that's the corner I've seen - putting them into AUs that take an interesting character/setting and make them blander than plain oatmeal.

Not in the boring sense that they're a comparatively calm, reasonable fandom - that's great. It's just what they do with it.

Edit: Looking at the comment right above this one, clearly there's a much loopier sector of the fandom I'm not seeing.

I've noticed that too. There are those fans and there are the intense Marius/Eponine shippers who think Cosette is responsible for the apocalypse or something.

But those fans have been around since the musical premiered. Or possibly since the book was published, although I doubt that. It probably didn't have a Little-Women style shipper fandom. Any brick-history fans know if there were 150 year old shipper wars when Les Mis came out?

No, but I once found a newspaper piece from... 1903? 1907? that mentioned in passing that if you were like most readers of Les Misérables, you probably came out wondering why all the interesting ones had to die and Marius was the one who lived.

...it was a review of a novel that amounted to published fanfiction about the author's Gary Stu hanging out with the Friends of the ABC and assorted minor Balzac characters from the same time period.

Les Mis fandom: it's old as balls and changes way less than you'd think.

I've noticed that too... SO MANY AUs. And the AUs are just the same thing over and over and over: they're college boys who are sometimes disgruntled with the government. Usually they work in coffeeshops. For some reason R has tattoos and E wears girl's clothes.
