Tell me that's not Mrs Bennett and her lovely daughters debriefing after the Netherfield ball. Mama and Jane looking over the papers and discussing Mr Bingley, Lizzie looking thoughtful, Lydia posing seductively, Kitty has been too busy chatting and hasn't even got changed yet. Mary smiling at a bird is a bit out of character, but her complete disinterest in the conversation fits
Please, recommend your favorite Pride and Prejudice stories on Dwiggie/the Derbyshire Writers' Guild. My only requirement is that they're set in the Regency era (basically, canon divergence; no modern AUs) and keep the characters as close to the original source as possible in terms of characterization.
So far I've read and really enjoyed Adventures at Morecastle by Suzanne O and Behind The Scenes by Locarol. I recommend them if you haven't read them already.
Super grateful for the 3DS modding community and all the things they do to make things possible, like the ability to binge watch our favorite BBC mini series on YouTube. 🥰
“Kitty and Lydia take his defection much more to heart than I do. They are young in the ways of the world, and not yet open to the mortifying conviction that handsome young men must have something to live on as well as the plain.”
He agreed to watch Pride & Prejudice with me so I put on the series. Now my boyfriend is a gaming nerd and the second Darcy was introduced he started comparing him to Shadow from the Sonic games. I truly hate how accurate that is (I watched the Sonic movies with him) and how funny it was having him reenact what Darcy said but in Shadow’s flair.
He also yelled at the screen when Darcy abruptly left Elizabeth once she told him about Lydia. He was so mad that Darcy wasn’t comforting her, but he forgave him once the scene with Darcy in London took place.
I think his biggest gripe with show though was that the Bennet estate was entailed to Mr. Collins. He kept trying to find loopholes such as son-in-laws and grandsons. He was not happy when I said the loopholes wouldn’t work.
On a side note we had had a fight before we binged the show and he bought me a card and wrote in it that he would try to be more like Darcy and reflect and improve on himself. Which was super sweet and definitely took some of the anger away.

Maybe I am remembering this wrong —it was at least 20 years ago, sometime in the early to mid 2000s, but here is what I think I remember:
It was a female author who had written a series of Pride and Prejudice adaptations or continuations. They weren’t available in the US, and I think I never ordered them because of that.
It’s driving me crazy, but I don’t remember anything else. Please help!!!
So smart, quietly sassy.
She told him she had grown to like Darcy better and Wikham nervously but trying to contain himself asks if his manners had improved coz on a more fundamental level he wouldn't dare hope for an improvement and she says "no fundamentally he is just what he always has been"
Or when she told him she met Georgiana and liked her, he is all "I am glad you did, last time I met her she wasn't very promising" and lizzy knowing everything and saying nothing allowed him an escape. He also had the gall to bring Darcy up again and said "I wonder what he was doing in London" as if Darcy wasn't there for Wikham's and Lydia's marriage & fix things Wikham had ruined. Lizzy enjoyed shocking him for a second by saying "he must have been there for the wedding of course" but then immediately after acted as if she was talking of Darcy's and Miss De Bourgh's wedding.
Hello!
I’m looking for Pride and Prejudice fan fiction recommendations that depicts life for Lizzy and Darcy after the events of the novel in the style of Austen.
Anyone have any recommendations? Books? Websites? Anything else?
Thank you!
Don't get me wrong, I love all of the adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and honestly all of the Austen novels, but the 2005 version of P&P is my personal favorite. And aside from the main characters, I just LOVE Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennett. He's so cute in that role. The scene where Mr. Darcy proposed and they're waiting to get Mr. Bennett's approval, so darn cute!! He just does such a good job of showing the relationship between him and Elizabeth. I just watched it again and felt compelled to see how many fellow fans feel the same way.
I’m currently reading Pride and Prejudice for the second time, and I’ve realized that I’m enjoying it even more now than I did the first time. These tiny, beautiful paintings are my own hand-painted interpretations inspired by the 2005 film adaptation.
With some apprehension, I gave this fan fiction a go. I don’t typically read them, with the exception of Scarlett (the sequel to Gone With the Wind). But I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Getting past my own bias was the hardest part 😂 Once I set that aside, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Now I’m looking for suggestions for others that extend the stories of existing Pride & Prejudice characters.
I might be late finding out about this, but a third Austenland is coming out this year!!! I thought I'd share it here with my fellow Austen fans. I'm so excited!
So this author had uploaded the whole story on I think both fanfiction.net and on ao3 as well, it was vice and virtue by hunter Quinn, the author is uploading the fic onto both sites again now but takes a few months breaks in between posts so its taking too long for me😭😭 does anyone have a saved copy of the full story from when it was first completed, I would be really grateful if you could send it my way
I have just watched the 1995 version for about the sixth time. Among many other excellent qualities that make this the best period drama ever (Emma’s S&S a close second), is the sparkle in Jennifer Ehle’s smiling eyes. I cannot recall an actor that’s so convincingly inhabited a character and it is the desire to spend time with this Lizzie that keeps bringing me back.
Anyone else have this edition? I love it beyond any other 😍
Movie:Bride & Prejudice
They translated this scene pretty well to the screen.
The 2nd hand embarrassment I got. I was just like "Womannnn...shut up pleaseee"😬😣
Hey everyone! So I’m reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time, and my friend thought it would be a good idea to do an immersive read, since the dialect is older.
I was wondering if anyone has used the new read and listen feature on Audible yet for the book and which Kindle book specifically they have? There are SO MANY and the one I got originally doesn’t link up with the my audiobook.
For reference, I have the audiobook narrated by Rosamund Pike.🙂
