Re: Nature of the Beast Interlude - 7 days ago

I hope you would continue to gift us with your mumbling, Autumn. Fascinating to see why you wrote certain characters and scenes the way you did. And very brave of you to attempt such a complex story. You would not be able to do that, and so well too, unless you have some decided views on man and beast and magic. I enjoy every post. Thank you.

Re: A Different Darcy - 28 days ago

Interesting premise. I take it the elder son was named "George" and the clergyman younger son "William". Without Pemberley and the well-known Darcy pride, the latter seemed a different character altogether. I wonder whether there would still be any pride and prejudice in this Elizabet/Darcy relationship.

Re: Snowbound - Part 5 - 7 weeks ago

Too short, Jack. Thank you for sharing another story with us. I am relieved that cold and hungry Elizabeth and Darcy did not have to find their way back to the stables. Happy Easter to you and Barbara.

Re: A Man of No Consequence - Chapter Three - 8 weeks ago

I hope you would not let that slip-up distress you, Heather. It has certainly not affected my enjoyment of your story and this particular chapter. Even in canon, Mrs Philips strikes me as the repository of all local gossips, whether in Meryton village or the surrounding areas. She could not have been in command of such a wealth of information and misinformation without an extensive network of co

Re: Fearful Symmetry - Ch. 15 -16 - 8 weeks ago

Wonderful writing. Now, who would unravel the mess created by the well-meaning but meddlesome Mrs Gardiner? Thanks for giving us two chapters, Abbie

Re: Tapestry of Lives, Chapter 60 - 8 weeks ago

Thank you for the new chapter, Jean. Ten more - sorry to see this story has to end but relieved that we may look forward to at least another year of your excellent writing. Do I see a connection between Kitty and Aaron Wright, a man of little fortune? But he might yet prosper in partnership with the Fitzwilliams. I was amused by Darcy's hovering and the way Elizabeth being with child was reveal

Re: Snowbound - Part 4 - 2 months ago

I like the new chapter. Thanks to the extended blizzard, Elizabeth and Darcy rediscovered themselves and each other. Well done, Jack.

Re: Snowbound - Part 3 - 2 months ago

Two more posts to look forward to, Jack? You made my week.

Re: Snowbound - Part 3 - 2 months ago

Oooh! Elizabeth's Hunsford. She needed that. Now they were even. Your next and final post seems so far away. Thanks, Jack.

Re: Fearful Symmetry - Ch. 13 - 2 months ago

Thank you for such a wonderful chapter, Abbie. Certainly worth the wait. I like your description of the sunrise, the affection between the two elder Bennet sisters and the sometimes playful, often serious interaction between Darcy and Elizabeth. You even gave Caesar a character of his own. I felt I was right there on the morning walk with them. Elizabeth's letter to Georgiana was so in characte

Re: Astonished in Derbyshire-- Part 2, ch 3&4 - 3 months ago

Happy Valentine's Day, Suzanne. You certainly made mine a delightful one. Wonderful ending. In eight chapters, you retold the last and most important part of PP. I like Darcy's proposal much better than the one he bungled at Hunsford in the original. I love his nervousness and passion, his certainty of his feelings and uncertainty about Elizabeth's, his rare inability to finish what he tried to

Re: Astonished Derbyshire, Part 2--Chs 1&2 - 3 months ago

Thank you for the new post, Suzanne. I am astonished - why didn't Darcy propose? Perhaps he remembered Elizabeth's harsh words in Derbyshire and feared her rejection? Or was he still struggling with himself because his love for her was not strong enough to overcome his objections to her family and BIL Wickham? Teasing, teasing man. Very clever of you to make Darcy admit to his rescue of Lydia.

Re: Astonished in Derbyshire-- chs 3&4 - 3 months ago

Thank you for adhering to your schedule and not keeping us in suspense too long, Suzanne. I can understand why Elizabeth was falling for Darcy. He was dignified, respected, handsome, well informed, enigmatic, and, of course, wealthy. I was hoping that Elizabeth's sojourn in Derbyshire would not be disrupted by Lydia's folly. But at least you dealt with the event and its aftermath quickly. Par

Re: Astonished in Derbyshire -- chs 1&2 - 3 months ago

Absolutely delighted to see another story from you, Suzanne. Your Darcy and Elizabeth were so true to canon. You let us see both their faults and endearing qualities: his pride, reticence, honesty and sense of duty ad honour; her naivete, sharpness, and intelligence. I suspect Darcy visited Elizabeth at the inn to find out about Jane's feelings for his friend. Elizabeth's brusqueness then might

I could not believe my eyes - 3 months ago

Thank you for the final chapter to this story which I would have to re-read.

Re: What Love May Come (cont.) - 4 months ago

Lovely and mesmerising. I do not begrudge Darcy's happy first marriage. Very realistic given his connections, wealth, character and looks. Elizabeth could not have been the one and only choice for him. Thank you, Renee.
