Re: The Pemberley Effect - Part Eight - 3 days ago

Okay! I finally caught up! You post too regularly for me. :-P I'm loving this and the alternating POVs, especially how each person's emotions lead them to notice (in some cases obsess over) different things. The parallels between Lizzy and Darcy's musings in this chapter were interesting. And I love Kitty's development. Lizzy started in a better place but she needs some awareness too. Kitty is

I keep checking in hope...

Re: Still here and update soon! - 13 days ago

As the mom of a 16-month old sleep-fighting champion, I sympathize with how exhausting those evenings can be. I can't remember if I had commented yet, as I often read stories while nursing and it's hard to type one-handed, but I loved your story and I'll be eagerly waiting when you're ready to post again.

Re: Funny thing... - 17 days ago

I'm reluctant to give a sneak peek because... seriously, you don't realize how long it's going to be until I'm ready to post. I don't write in chronological order, and I prefer to have at least a rough draft before posting anyway, so yeah. But on the other hand, maybe if I promise you all to post, it would motivate me to write? Anyway. It's interesting you make comparisons to the characters in

Re: Double Trouble Part 9 - 27 days ago

Hmmm... Felicity IS being unfair, but it's mortifying to make yourself vulnerable to the wrong person. What I really wonder is what Sir A is going to do with this information. What would be the more honorable course - to tell his brother, in fairness? Would he keep it to himself if he's really interested in her?

Funny thing... - 28 days ago

as I think Meg knows... *cough* I happen to be working on one. It is going to be a long time before I'm ready to post it, though. Meanwhile, if anyone else wants to write more Edmund-centric fanfic, count on me as a reader. I agree with many of Nikki's original points that Edmund too often gets painted as a jerk or stupid, and he is neither. Too idealistic, maybe, but not stupid or mean.

Re: Double Trouble Part 4 - 5 weeks ago

I am so thrilled you're posting again, Sofie! Loving the shenanigans so far. I wonder if Felicity knows the twins yet well enough to tell them apart, or if there will be more mistaken identities...

Re: Just to let everyone know... - 7 weeks ago

Congrats! I'll add your blog to my feed reader. By the way, you have a typo in your header - "genuis" rather than "genius"... Thought you might want to fix that. :-) Seeing your own mistakes when you've been working on graphic layouts is almost impossible.

Re: Sanditon Group-Read - Organisation & Questions - 2 months ago

I recognize that version, having read it before. I'm pretty sure that is the continuation published as by "Another Lady" - actually the author's name was Marie Dobbs. Don't forget that Sofie S has a great continuation here at the DWG, too. I wouldn't count on the LBD team sticking to Anna Lefroy's or anyone's - given their creativity, I think they'll probably come up with their own, or even use

Re: The Perfect Match Part 20 - 2 months ago

Oh, I'm so glad you're posting again, Sofie! I've just caught up and remembered how much fun this story is. I LOLed at Amelia's "sampler"... but oh dear, blaming everyone else for situations she caused is still very immature and she's going to have to learn to be honest with herself somehow.

This theory makes ridiculous amounts of sense!

Re: The Caroline Bingley Diaries - Part Fifteen - 3 months ago

LOL it was Caroline who spilled the beans, that's hilarious. I adored the image of Caroline and Paul dancing on the beach and being silly. Really cute and sweet as well as funny. I had completely forgotten about Mr. Hurst's first name too, as a matter of fact. I think Mortimer suits him.

Re: A Lesson in the Theatre, Chapters 2-5 - 3 months ago

I agree! And it fits really well with the brief glimpses in the novel. I'm so glad you decided to post this, Allison! I can't wait to see how Anne can find happiness...and with whom.

Re: I too was a little confused... - 3 months ago

Or they didn't KNOW that George had signed rights over to the company. That makes perfect sense. With nothing to go on, they had to track down George and twist his arm (I hope painfully... the snake) and get him to tell them what happened to the video. It sounded like the company had covered their tracks pretty well.

Re: The Caroline Bingley Diaries - Part Thirteen - 3 months ago

That was my favorite line as well. I also like Caroline's realization that she doesn't have much in common with Fanny or her school friends anymore. You've painted her transformation so believably.

Re: Of Masks and Men - Chapter Four - 3 months ago

Since I often read on my phone one-handed while nursing my daughter, I haven't had a chance yet to tell you how much joy this story is bringing me. Seriously, I sit here reading it with a huge grin on my face. It might be my all-time favorite crossover. And I love the hints at mystery and the teeny twists you make to canon so it all happens.

Re: He still watched her videos (Lizzie Bennet Diaries-based) - 4 months ago

I love this lead up to that one line, and read the whole story remembering how he delivered it, with just the hint of a dimpled smile...

Re: A Matter of Trust - Part 5 (Conclusion) - 4 months ago

Lovely, sweet, and very Fanny in it's subdued truth, but oh, it's over already? No more discussions between them with gradual revelations of how much she really does love him? No reactions from both to their new relationship? Aw... I just wanted a few more glimpses. I guess that just says how well you wrote what you did. Thank you!

Re: How to fall in love - 4 months ago

Yep. That's how I fell in love with my husband. I initially didn't even think he was my "type." We were friends for quite a while before it even ocurred to me to consider anything else - in fact what happened was he asked me out and I refused. I started falling in love with him because he was such a gentleman about it. And yes, the fact that he liked me was itself attractive So I have no difficu

Re: Text encoding? - 4 months ago

Hey! It's better now! I just happily read "Astonished in Derbyshire" as well as "A Matter of Trust" and no funny characters. (Unless you count Aunt Norris, and she's not even really in the story.) I'm impressed by your speed!

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

This is all proceeding in a surprisingly logical and believable way. I do wish we got more of your Bingley's story fleshed out. Which is I guess another way of saying I liked the brief glimpse.

Re: A Matter of Trust - Part 4 - 4 months ago

I agree. I have a feeling this proposal is not going to be quite as cut and dried as sir Thomas imagines.

Text encoding? - 4 months ago

Thanks- I too read a ton on my iPhone and the mobile format is easy to read and use so far. One problem. Some posts but not all seem to be using wrong text encoding so that quotation marks, dashes, etc show up as strings of symbols. As an example, I can hardly read Suzanne O's new chapter of Astonished in Derbyshire because of this. Can this be fixed?

Re: The Caroline Bingley Diaries - Part Ten - 4 months ago

finally officially caught up and remembering how i adore this story - it's hilarious and yet strangely believable with the character development coming in tiny snippets. of course he is paul.... ugh, sorry about no capitalization, my keyboard is freaking out and i have yet to figure out why.

Re: Astonished in Derbyshire -- chs 1&2 - 4 months ago

Creative twist! I'm intrigued by how you'll accomplish so much necessary character development in such a short time. *buckles in*

Re: He was no robot (Lizzie Bennet Diaries-based) - 4 months ago

Love this! I really like the insight not only into Darcy's musings, but into Lizzie herself with outside eyes. The interesting thing about the LBD is that it's very limited to Lizzie's POV despite occasional reality checks from Charlotte or Jane. The idea that Darcy had been incredibly hurtful with his allusions to her family's financial situation is true of course, but easy to forget because Liz

Re: A Matter of Trust - Part 2 - 4 months ago

I haven't had a chance yet to say how happy I am you're writing an MP sequel! I adore MP fic in general, of course, and especially getting to read expansions of Edmund and Fanny's courtship since we get the merest summary in the novel. I'm liking the Edmund POV. I agree with Mari A, it's fun to see a little mystery about Fanny's attitudes as an alternate to canon which is mostly Fanny POV. As a

I really don't have anything to add to this, you've stated my thoughts so well!

Re: A Narrow Escape - 4 months ago

If you know Mary S at all, you know she is a long time DIEHARD Fanny/Henry shipper. I'm not one but I enjoy her POV all the same.
by Katharine T - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Re: A Narrow Escape - 4 months ago

Quote"You love me." Her tone implied that her simple explanation was obvious enough. That would weigh with Fanny.
