And now, the theme for this year's Jane Austen October Gothic Horror Nonsense writing challenge: Masks! Is disguise every character's abhorrence? Does Lover's Vows get even farther along with costumes? What lengths will Frank Chuchill go to hide his secret? And what Janus face does every rogue present, or what is hiding behind the most composed smile or demure turn of the eyes? Get writing, and then post here on October 31 with the theme. I look forward to reading everyone's entries. * Image found via Fashioning the Early Modern: "English Lady in Winter Costume," Wenceslaus Hollar, 1643, British Museum.https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,129870,129870#msg-129870Sun, 24 May 2026 23:51:44 +0100 Phorum 5.2.22 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,129870,129887#msg-129887 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,129870,129887#msg-129887 Suzanne O Tea RoomSat, 09 Oct 2021 18:55:29 +0100 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,129870,129873#msg-129873 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,129870,129873#msg-129873 Harvey Tea RoomSat, 02 Oct 2021 14:05:19 +0100 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,129870,129872#msg-129872 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,129870,129872#msg-129872 Shannon K Tea RoomSat, 02 Oct 2021 06:23:46 +0100 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,129870,129870#msg-129870 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,129870,129870#msg-129870
