Jane discussing Bingley with Darcy - 7 years ago

Hey, everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew a story where Jane Bennet is aware that Darcy separated her and Bingley, and discusses that with him. I was mostly curious how often that has been written, and what sort of effect it would have in a modern vs. Regency story. Of course, I would also appreciate suggestions, if anyone has them!

Re: even more wild plot idea - 7 years ago

Maybe I'm spending too much time thinking about this, but Gardiner Bennet should totally go to Brighton too, and meet Phoebe Hessel. (Apparently she is a famous woman who dressed as a man to be in the military, and lived in Brighton when she was old.)

Re: wild, wild plot idea - 7 years ago

Alida, I totally see your point, but I can also see some of that being disguised. Like, if Lydia has a reputation of being a dandy, she can maybe get around some of the "looks weirdly feminine" suspicions. And since she's both the tallest and stout, I always imagine her as having wider shoulders, even if that's not what Austen meant. Honestly, though, I would love to see a Lydia who is not as muc

Re: With Pleasure [for Maya] - 7 years ago

That was awesome! I would be happy to read more, even if it's not your usual world and characters. I really liked the landlady, too. Hopefully we see her again. :-) Was the Pleasure Dome inspired by Ringworld's tasps?

The Jane Austen Project (by Flynn) - 7 years ago

Did anyone else read this? I really enjoyed the premise in some ways, because time travel is always an interesting plot device, at least. I was wondering, though, what other people thought of the ending, or how Austen was depicted.

Re: Ace of Schemes 1-3 - 7 years ago

As always, a wonderful beginning! Thank you.

Re: The Curse Chapter 19 - 7 years ago

For the portrait, something like a falconer with a bird, but a dragon instead. So Elizabeth about to swoop down on prey, and Richard on a horse? Or a tiny Dragon perching on his arm (are there ones that small in your world?).

Re: The Curse Chapter 18 - 7 years ago

Thanks for another great post! I think she should dive-bomb Mr. Collins, and then we can see where his vanished things really go. I think it would be quite funny to have her land on a pile of debris that he's "vanished".

Re: Continuing Incomplete Stories... - 8 years ago

Thank you, Amy. Her email seems to be disabled, so I suppose I am not your second success story.

Re: Continuing Incomplete Stories... - 8 years ago

Thank you, Sarah! You always write wonderfully, so I don't want to interfere.:-) I'm glad to know that I am not breaking any codes, though. I will get working, and give credit to the proper authors.

Continuing Incomplete Stories... - 8 years ago

Does Dwiggie have any rules about completing another person's story? I assume that I need at least a good faith effort to check with the actual author, of course. I couldn't find any actual guidelines, but I was willing to guess that this topic has come up before. Does anyone else know? (For reference, the story I want to complete is from 2013. I'm not trying to change anybody's current posts or

Re: The Curse Chapter 6 - 8 years ago

And Mr. Bennet forcing Darcy to think logically! The chess boards are a creative and revealing idea, as well.

Re: The Curse Chapter 6 - 8 years ago

I loved this whole scene, but especially Mr. Bennet playing dumb.

Re: Castle Ravencrag 1-3 - 8 years ago

This is so charming! Amelia is a perfectly un-gothic heroine.
