I'm sorry if you've posted about this before, but what are your thoughts on Lizzy Bennet Diaries?
I replied:
No problem! I talked about it here and here (and a few other places, but I think I mostly repeated myself). [Tumblr links]
The short version is that I think the first half is creative and interesting, though Lizzie was always off in some important ways, and Charlotte and Lizzie’s relationship in particular is well-developed and charming. The second half is pretty awful IMO, I think in part because it becomes more slavish to the novel while also not really getting it.
