Re: Will there be a continuation on Even more consequense from a call? - 2 years ago

Sorry for the long delay in responding. The beginning of the year was crazy, mother broke her leg, basketball and volleyball at the same time, I switched departments at work, etc. This is the first time I have logged into fanfiction in months. Not sure if I will go back to EMCFAC. I have about 23k typed up of a Jane doesn’t go to Netherfield and Darcy/Bingley are the ones to get caught in the rai

Re: good stories - 3 years ago

Sorry for the late response. A few of my favorites: Connections Redux Caprice and Instability The Chase Is On There are also two stories on ff.net by LadyJaeza that I absolutely love. Giving Consequence and the companion piece and sequel Miss York's Match. Both books by themselves are rather long.

Re: Stories with bad Jane, bad Mrs Bennet... - 3 years ago

You can look on the JAFFIndex under the bad Jane category. http://jaffindex.com/ I don't know what the Dwiggie password is, but at the top of the screen, you should see a JAFF Library link. JAFF Library and it might be in there somewhere.

Re: Looking for a story... - 3 years ago

It sounds kind of like Mr. Darcy - A Man of Honour that was originally posted on ff.net by Jadie47, although I thought Jane was engaged to Darcy and eloped with Bingley and Darcy and Lizzy gave chance. It appears to be published on Amazon by Jadie Brooks.

Re: A Clever Plan - 3 years ago

Marchedale Manor, it was P&P.

Re: A Clever Plan - 3 years ago

I took two weeks of vacation in July and this is the first time I have had a chance to check Dwiggie. I was very glad to see you writing again. Is the longer story you are working on the P&P one you started in 2016? If it is, and the google docs link is still valid, I would be happy to re-read and offer insight.

Re: Practicing Economy - One Shot - 3 years ago

I hope he would get a commission, although being the good businessman that he is, he probably feels it's to his own benefit to make the Bennet family as much money as possible so he doesn't potentially end up supporting an extra six people.

Re: Practicing Economy - One Shot - 3 years ago

I loathe apostrophes, always have. Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and whatever software this website uses tend to disagree on what word needs something. Oh well. The idea came to me when I was walking to my car after stopping into work for something one morning, I let it take shape overnight, and I typed it up during lunch the next day. It was only read once or twice and not beta'd. I am glad you

Practicing Economy - One Shot - 3 years ago

I wrote this a few months ago for the May/June Nobody’s Perfect challenge on another site. If you read it at AHA, it’s the same story. When I was doing research for my previous forays into writing, I found myself in some older conversation threads on another site and one such conversation stuck with me. This is my take on the Bennet women being moochers, I included Mrs. Bennet in my scheme e

Re: Question about Lise’s story - 3 years ago

I am sorry, I don't typically read non P&P fanfiction. The JAFFindex says: Categories: Radically altered meetings and developments Other humourous tales Prequels Pregnancies prior to marriage Extracting someone from a predicament Earlier resolution for hero and heroine Considering it has a humourous tales and extracting someone from a predicament categories, I would

Re: Looking for beautiful friendship/ an even path - 3 years ago

From what I read on another site, the author requested the story be removed late 2019. I thought the idea was for it to be published, but maybe COVID put a wrench into those plans or it's getting a complete overhaul. Using Google, I did find this post on Dwiggie: https://www.dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,128600

Re: Looking for older stories - 3 years ago

The one I was thinking of, I asked at another forum because it was driving me nuts, was Darcy's Deal by Zoe Burton. Lady C didn't slap Lizzy, she used her walking cane to knock her down and she hit her head. This is also the one where Georgiana is soldier crazy and they take her to a foundling house to show her what happens to unmarried pregnant ladies.
by LizzyS - Tea Room

Re: Looking for older stories - 3 years ago

Did Lady C slap Lizzy in her uncle/godfather's London townhouse? I think he was an earl or other prominent society person. She was unaware of the connection and came in angry. Everyone was just a little too slow to save her and Lady C was told to leave by the uncle/godfather and I think the Earl of Matlock was called.

Re: Looking for older stories - 3 years ago

#1 sounds familiar, maybe a few stories, but I can't come up with any more specific details to help the search. #3 was answered on another site previously. I remember a story where Elizabeth and Georgiana play/sing parts of the Messiah at Rosings. Even Lady Catherine is left speechless at the performance. The Sister She Always Wanted by Linnea Eileen

Re: knocker up? - 3 years ago

My understanding of the "knocker up" is that it signifies to the members of society that the household is in residence and accepting callers. This might help with your questions: https://www.willowandstone.co.uk/blog/a-brief-history-of-the-door-knocker/

Re: Looking for a story - 3 years ago

I think this story was just asked for an another forum, with a slightly different description, but I am pretty sure it is the same one. This is towards the end and the retired or just extremely elderly Pemberley vicar shows up with the family bible because Miss B was purposefully found in Darcy's bed that morning and the Earls were all trying to figure out whom Darcy would have to marry.

Re: Message for Lizzy S. - 3 years ago

I apologize for not responding before now and thank Alida for sending me an e-mail letting me know there was a question for me. I do have another story started, but I only have just over 5k words written. I have a rough timeline created and a note in my phone that I keep adding ideas to when I think of something I don't want to forget. Even with what I have written, my original idea has morphed

This is Longbourn 1805 by Rosemary. It was posted on another site but taken down a while ago. She told them she had plans to publish, but not where, in what order, or when.

Even More Consequences From A Call - Epilogue - 4 years ago

Here we are. At the end of the story. It blows my mind to think that a one-shot turned into a 32 chapter book, 34 if you count the prologue and epilogue. The story ended with a staggering 193,071 words and my Word master document is 478 pages long. Epilogue Hyde Park, London June 1822 Reginald Hurst stood in Hyde Park near the Grosvenor Gate where he had arranged to meet a large gro

Even More Consequences From A Call - Chapter 32 - 4 years ago

This is the last chapter and I will post an epilogue next week. Other than the Bingley’s, please let me know if I have left anything hanging or if you want to hear more about a particular person or situation. Chapter 32 Dorset House, London Tuesday, April 28, 1812 Juliet Sakville sat in the window seat of the main parlour at Dorset House with her four-month-old brother in her arms.

Re: No chapter this week - Even More Consequences From a Call - 4 years ago

Yes, thank you for asking. I would have posted yesterday, but I forgot we made dinner plans and didn't finish the edits I had planned until really late. The chapter has been posted.

Even More Consequences From A Call - Chapter 31 - 4 years ago

I apologize for skipping a week and that this is so late. Our weather has been fluctuating and wreaking havoc with my sinuses. The temperature had been double our normal average for almost a week. On Tuesday we walked the dog in shorts, on Wednesday it was so chilly and windy that I put gloves on after a few minutes, and Thursday morning my husband had to scrape his windshield.

No chapter this week - Even More Consequences From a Call - 4 years ago

I apologize, but I will not be able to post a chapter this week. My husband is out of town and I volunteered to work a polling station. I am busy typing now and am hoping to post this weekend, but it might be next week.

Shades of Purple - JaOctGoHoNo 2020 - 4 years ago

I apologize this was posted so late in the day, EST anyway. We have an extra dog for the weekend and my daughters and I helped my sister take my nieces and nephews trick-or-treating. You will notice chunks of this seem familiar. A few times I used JA’s text verbatim and others it was adapted to fit my storyline.

Even More Consequences From A Call - Chapter 30 - 4 years ago

I realized that in chapter 22 I switched from Fanny to Fannie. I will edit the chapters to correct the ie’s. There will be one more chapter and an epilogue, I think. If the last chapter gets too long, I may have to split it.

Congratulations on your first year participating, MichelleRW. The stories are posted on the main Message Board usually with JaOctGoHoNo after the title. https://www.dwiggie.com/phorum/list.php?5 If you would like to see how last year's were posted, they are on page 7. https://www.dwiggie.com/phorum/list.php?5,page=7

Yes, please share. You never know what will cause a flash of inspiration in someone else. I have a good idea of what I want to do, but I am still trying to figure out the entire story.

Even More Consequences From A Call - Chapter 29 - 4 years ago

I know I have been posting on Wednesday’s but it’s been a long week. My husband caught a cold and it is making its way through our household. I had to get a COVID test for work, so we know it’s just a simple cold. Thankfully, my daughter’s school is still on a hybrid schedule and only one teacher asked why she was virtual instead of in-person on her scheduled day. Apparently, they were appreciativ

Even More Consequences From A Call - Chapter 28 - 4 years ago

Some of your questions should be answered in this chapter but the majority of them will probably be in the next. It took me so long to get two points of views typed up in this chapter, I ran out of time. Even as is, this is the fourth longest chapter I have posted. I was watching Phineas and Ferb with my daughters, yeah laugh at me all you want but it’s a funny show, so you will see an Isabella

Re: Even More Consequences From A Call - Chapter 27 - 4 years ago

All the ladies will be safe, I pinky swear. I have what I expect to happen for the rest of the story jotted down and only have to type it up. I kept the motivations vague just in case my fingers didn't agree when I got into the scenes or I came up with a new direction.
