Re: P&P: The Time Slip (part 2 of 5) Posted.../Need a new title? - 10 years ago
I am losing rapport with my first epic's title: P&P: The Time Slip. Am thinking it must be changed before it go to the Fantasia Gallery. The "P&P" will be connected by the indexing. Perhaps; Jane and Lizzy's Paranormal Journey is better, but that may be even better with "Elizabeth" instead of "Lizzy," but I am unsettled. I think "The Misses Bennets" is too ambiguous as to whom and hoby Rae Elaine - Tea Room

"Hmmmm." I idle. "Good thought. Probably first thing we should do is a proper introduction." Then I begin with Bugsy, whom they are longest acquainted, Scotty, then; "...Tex up there in the copilot seat..." and then; "...our navigator, William Darcy-" I stop at Elizabeth's gasp. Elizabeth is speechless, so Jane submit; "my sister and myself, are recently acquainted with a Mr. Fitzwilliam Darby Rae Elaine - Derbyshire Writers' Guild

Call for beta/Re: CHOSE, ONE OR ALL - 10 years ago
Anyone out there, wanting to do beta? I am working on my Pride and Prejudice: The Time Slip, geting it ready to post. I have done a "cold eye" proof pass, but another pair of eyes will not be too many cooks spoiling the stew. Would like to get the first couple parts posted as soon as possible. Thank you.by Rae Elaine - Tea Room
CHOSE, ONE OR ALL - 10 years ago
I have three stories, in various degrees, that are candidates for the Fantasia Gallery that should be Beta'd. The common plot element is called a "time slip," a paranormal event which lend itself to spontaneous time travel, with very little push beyond its specification. (see wikipedia "time slip") One story knick Jane and Lizzy from the morning after the Meryton Assembly Ball to a C-141-A Staby Rae Elaine - Tea Room
Writing for Reading - 10 years ago
Jane Austen wrote with long winded sentences and long, run on paragraphs. That may have worked with the grammar at the time, printed on paper, and a culture that has more time and less stress. Nowadays, it could be amusing -to- informative to have a WAG at how much we read on a screen v.s. on a dead tree. Either way, a few ideas can make reading easier, especially for us old bats who are blindby Rae Elaine - Tea Room
Re: I think you may have come up with something new! - 10 years ago
Perhaps an idea of the distribution of names during the period may be useful. If "Jane" was a common first name, then this may be "co-ink-i-dink." (/ 1980>)_ If a name was a relatively rare, and my example source require the silly "Abigailingleepainful," then such connections could be assured. Of course, I insert in my writings' protagonist characteristics some of my own delusions. Well.by Rae Elaine - Tea Room
See the headers... - 10 years ago
Hi, Jim G.M. Your needs can be met. See; To The Epilogue Abbey To The Fantasia Gallery the Epilogue Abbey has the stories that are true to form, period, character, &c. with the cogent variations and can explore some "what ifs." Those might appeal to you. The Fantasia Gallery is for all else, with at least a nod to Jane Austen's stories. They alter the characters, periods, and who does wby Rae Elaine - Tea Room
Orphan Stories - 10 years ago
Noted a couple threads mentioning stories being read, that were incomplete. This is sad. I have started to read a couple works in progress, get captivated by the characters and the plots, only to be left hanging when the next chapter never come. I cannot remember either title, but that may be good. Buggers! This thing just jumped full screen with no known way to get it back to window...by Rae Elaine - Tea Room

Sagas and such... - 14 years ago
Hi Jennifer! I am sitting here with a dunce cap on my head, because I forgot that I had made a reply post in the Library. "Bad memory. Bad memory." {Blip.} Two months ago! My saga is a Babylon 5 (B5) prequel, and I have tried to get it published. Curiously, the drawback has been, that to be a prequel, I tried to stay as close to the long-lived characters and cultures as established by the Bby Rae Elaine - JAFF Library

Re: The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet/review - 14 years ago
Enough is in this thread to remove my curiosity. When I have exactly nothing to do, I will do it instead of reading that book. To bad it does not seem consistent with the title! I think many JAFF writers could do a wonderful and good thing with such a premise.by Rae Elaine - JAFF Library
Re: Charlotte Collins: A Continuation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice - 14 years ago
I remember reading a Bit of Ivory on Pemberley.com that had a bit where Charlotte was widowed. I just scanned the title list, but could not find a familiar name or description. Regrettably, that read must have been long enough past that my browser timed out the followed links, so I could not limit my search with that method. Some of the minor characters of P&P could be fascinating. Sinceby Rae Elaine - JAFF Library
