Loving a Man in Regimentals - 6 years ago

First posted elsewhere for a parent/child theme. Blurb: Little Miss Darcy has some Bennet/Gardiner in her. Thanks for reading! Colonel Fitzwilliam had been overseas for several years and therefore missed the birth of Miss Darcy. He did receive letters from her father proclaiming her many virtues, including spitting up on his favorite waistcoat. One day Fitzwilliam entered Pemberley, resple

Math - 7 years ago

This is something I first posted in another establishment. Holiday theme. It was early June when Darcy noticed that his wife was paying increasing attention to him, nearly to the point of obsession. Not that he minded, but he suspected there was an ulterior motive behind the fact that that they had returned to the early days of their marriage. One rainy afternoon as they were lounging in th

Play Ball! - 7 years ago

Another of my very short stories. BTW, a Little League game is 6 innings. Will Darcy had always loved baseball. His late father had instilled it in him and his late mother tolerated it. And now here he was, in the international championship game of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, with tens of thousands in attendance, Head Coach Darcy. First base coach Richard

Trash Can Fan - 8 years ago

Blurb: The Darcys' toddler son is fascinated with trash. This is not shocking behavior. Will Darcy was a CEO, multimillionaire, and considered to be one of the Entrepreneurs Under 35 to Watch. He was also on a first-name basis with every employee of the local company that collected the garbage and recycling from the curb of his house, one truck behind the other. The reason was obvious: He

Fashion - 8 years ago

Blurb: When it's early in the morning, the author can't sleep and said author is appalled at what is being sold on a shopping channel. *** "Awful." "Terrible. Wrinkled." "And that is just on the hanger." Will Darcy walked into his living room and his jaw dropped. There sat two women he thought were sworn enemies, but they seemed to be getting along just fine at the moment. "Somehow peopl

Someone in a major fizzy beverage's marketing department *may* be an Austen fan - 8 years ago

I have no idea if that's the case, but I found this amusing... I got a Diet Coke out of a vending machine the other day. Here in the US of A they have a label promotion going on with the small plastic bottles in which they tell you to share your Diet Coke with (insert name). This bottle told me to share it with Hill. Let us imagine: "Oh, where is my caffeine?!?!? Hill, Hill, bring me my caff

Re: In Service - 8 years ago

And that's why the Colonel wanted to write it all down! (Seriously, I know I didn't write that too clearly, but I'll blame it on the sisters' anxiety to inform the Colonel as to their latest information.)

In Service - 8 years ago

Blurb: A sequel to "Spies": Meryton's gossips extraordinaire change the course of history. Colonel Fitzwilliam sat in Longbourn's drawing room. His general patience for his hostess and her sister was tempered by their known usefulness to the Crown. Mr. Bennet had greeted him briefly and returned to his haven. "Oh, my flutterings, my spasms!" Mrs. Bennet waved her handkerchief in a mesmerizi

Re: A question about grammar - 8 years ago

English: There are the rules, then there are the exceptions to the rules, then the exceptions to the exceptions to the rules, and then there's the stuff that could be right or wrong depending on your perspective, where you live, etc. No wonder it's such a delight to learn ;-)

Thanks for describing what I didn't! JAFF Index is a fantastic resource. Victoria and her assistants are wonders.

Spies - 8 years ago

This is an inspiration from another website's challenge for something way beyond canon, plus a minor influence from Provisioner (Arizona) red wine. It was Easter at Rosings. Again. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam were delighted to be there. Again. Anne appeared to be as usual and Lady Catherine was as insistent as ever that Anne and Darcy should marry. Soon after their arrival and the i

Re: Hi. A question re Jaff Index, - 8 years ago

The email is genuine. They will not add an author's stories to the JAFF Index unless they have the author's permission (I know of several JAFF authors who do not want their stories disseminated beyond the sites on which the stories appear.) I have my stories from Dwiggie and another site listed on the Index. "Blanket" permission is for them to include all of your stories. If there are stories

Tea Parties - 9 years ago

DNA: This piece of fluff just popped into my head. So here it is. It began with a forgetful father. Fitzwilliam Darcy was returning home after a trying morning. After he had ridden into Lambton on urgent business he discovered he had forgotten the documentation he needed, and thus he had to make the trip twice. Upon his return to Pemberley Darcy was in a slightly surly mood. Tired and dus

Alas, it will likely be in its dry state and on a mannequin. It'll be part of an exhibit called “Will & Jane: Shakespeare, Austen, and the Cult of Celebrity”, which will run from August 6-November 6. Folger link AP report

Re: But Frederick himself thinks that he could have been guilty of pride or resentment - 10 years ago

So, it's a case of hindsight being 20/20: if he had known in 1808 what he had known at the end of the novel, they would have married in 1808. But not knowing that, he didn't want to risk the 2nd blow to his pride.

Re: But Frederick himself thinks that he could have been guilty of pride or resentment - 10 years ago

But wouldn't being rejected be a blow to his pride? I would have to think so.

Looking for a beta - 10 years ago

I'm combining "An Admiral's Persuasion" and "Sophia's Persuasion" and adding more material. Am looking for someone who would be willing to beta what I've got so far. Thanks!
