katilac Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 from the Colin Firth P&P, right? I just had to ask if you hang out at any of the Jane Austen sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay in Cal Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Yep! I love Austen--one of many around here. I was so surprised when I first found these boards that there were SO many other fans out there. I didn't really fall in love with Austen until I read all her books the summer I got married. P&P is my favorite, closely followed by Emma, and I even enjoy (to some extent) the "Austen-based" fiction--like from Darcy's perspective, or whatever. I was glad I had read them all before we hit the Austen film bonanza of the '90s! I probably should hang out on Austen sites... Is there one you recommend?

katilac Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Fangirl that I am, there are a few that I like. The Firthness site has a little bit of everything. It's divided into forums for discussing Jane Austen, her novels, the Regency era in general, and movies and sequels based on her novels. They have fan fic to read and a writer's corner you can go to for help if you write. As you can tell by the name, it originated after the Colin Firth movie: http://www.firthness.com/forums/ A Happier Alternative is set up much the same way: http://meryton.com/aha/index.php?act=idx As is Hyancith Gardens, but HG has more of an, ahem, adult slant: http://hyacinthgardens.com Click away! They're fun even if you don't waste entirely too much time reading fan fic. Not that I know anyone who does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay in Cal Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Do you write fan fic too? I enjoy reading it, but haven't ever gotten into writing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 I have written some, but not in the Austen fandom. I have a few plot bunnies I'm kicking around, though. It's quite fun; you should try it! The Austen fandom is very kind to new writers, and there tends to be lots of feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
