yay, new chapter of tolerably well acquainted! i went and reread the whole story, to make sure i remembered the context and also because why not ;D and THEN i went and reread "infinite use" (the one where lady catherine tells darcy about her argument with elizabeth) because that fic is my absolute favorite p&p fic ever. his reaction is so perfect and in character and anne is... hilarious. i reread it very frequently, alone and with my periodic rereads of all your fic. it's all amazing

I replied:

Oh, thank you! I’m very glad you enjoy Infinite Use so much—it doesn’t appeal to everyone and I might change some things now, but it was super fun to write.

I used to be pretty frustrated with certain takes on Anne, so that was in a way my response to them. I’m fond of her despite the silliness, and of course of Darcy and Fitzwilliam. I do still like the idea of Darcy having no idea what Lady Catherine is talking about until halfway through, haha.
