crosspost: smiles! [Dec 2013]
Dec. 13th, 2018 12:48 amIt's not really meta, but I want to preserve it anyway.
So, awhile back I might have counted the number of times the characters in P&P smile, or are mentioned as smiling. For general edification:

Commentary (Left to Follow)
Dec. 19th, 2011 01:10 amOtherwise known as license to ramble!
Left to Follow isn't quite my first fanfic ever (that would be this chapter), but nearly, and really the first one written from within fandom, in response to fandom. And it is my first Austenfic, which seems appropriate for today. Er, yesterday by now, but it was today when I wrote this. Okay.
I'm going to assume everyone who reads this has already read the story and knows how it ends (or they...wouldn't be reading?), so spoilers, I guess.

FI (10 & 11), au of an au
Oct. 27th, 2011 09:18 pmI clearly do not have an essay on Eliza Haywood to write. La!
-----------------------
Title: First Impressions (10/13, 11/13)
Fanverse: First Impressions
Blurb: awkward meeting is awkward, the Gardiner-Darcy mutual admiration society is formed, and apparently I am super ambiguous about Henry's opinion of Catherine.
----------------------
( Chapter Ten )
( Chapter Eleven )
-----------------------------
Title: Through A Glass, Darkly
Fanverse: The Quality of Mercy; Through A Glass, Darkly; Revenge of the Jedi, sort of
Blurb: Leia gets her chance to deal with her heritage. In baby-steps.
Pairings/warnings: No pairings; original character; so AU of my AU (Revenge of the Jedi) that it's canon-compliant; a challenge to myself to get two characters who, properly, could never, ever meet into the same scene.
Length: one-shot/double-drabble, kinda (272 words)

Personal canon: P&P
Jul. 27th, 2010 05:58 amWe all have a personal canon -- the X that exists in our heads, with all the little additions and details our minds supply. Sort of like fanon, but for one person instead of a weird fandom virus. So, for Pride and Prejudice, this is mine:

Woe! Tragedy! Angst! Yes, it's deathfic
Oct. 25th, 2009 08:42 pmDuring one of my periodic longings for nice, long, Darcy/Elizabeth fluff, I decided to sit down and write some. This - a sort of sequel to Left to Follow - is what came out.

So You Think You Know Jane Austen? (1)
Aug. 5th, 2009 12:47 am[reposted from wordpress]
I recently rediscovered my copy of So You Think You Know Jane Austen? and, just for kicks, went through the P&P section, as that’s the one I know the best. If I may offer a word of advice? If you own and/or are considering owning this book, take everything the authors assert with a grain of salt — with a mound of salt, as it were.
So, largely for the purpose of venting, here are my ‘Yes, I rather do think I know Jane Austen’ replies; by the way, this is supposedly arranged by level of difficulty, from easy to difficult.
(For convenience’s sake, I assume the events of the novel occur over 1799-1800; ‘A1′ is my original reply, A2 their answer, with some typically kind and sweet-natured comments on my part.)( Read more... )
