Hello all! I would just like to ask what you might think of owning/gifting a version of a Jane Austen novel - or any beautiful classic - which just gets made a little bit more personal by allowing you to change the character names, descriptions and other minor fine details to those of your choice? It's sort of like a relatable version of the classic - showing how its soul embeds into all times and circumstances. It's especially awesome if you really relate to some of the characters or feel you know the equivalents of them in real life. Or you could just insert yourself into the novel and keep some characters the way they are. How would you feel about such a gift? How much would you be willing to pay to buy it? What would you like to see on the front cover, inside, on the blurb? I'm thinking of starting a business for this, and I'd like your opinions.https://www.dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,127245,127245#msg-127245Wed, 24 Jun 2026 21:32:19 +0100 Phorum 5.2.22 https://www.dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,127245,127351#msg-127351 https://www.dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,127245,127351#msg-127351Jane and Elizabeth’s Paranormal Journey from May 2015 in the "Fantasia

It's a lie." Never let it be said I am not fast on my feet with kids.
"No, love, it's not a lie, it's a fiction, a lie is telling untruths for bad reasons, fiction is understood to be an untruth told for fun."
Eyebrows furrowed.
"So like the white lie about not saying bad things about what people are wearing even when they ask?"
"Um... well, you hope they don't realise it's a fiction, but fiction books, well, everyone knows they are fiction."
Long thoughts.
"So if it's got my name in, it's things I might have liked to have done?"
"Yes."
"Oh. Alright, Mummy, you may read it to me, and I'll tell you where I'd have done better things."
