Lovely Reviews!
In midst of Twisted Austen madness, I received some rather gratifying reviews. First, the one I missed: Anna at Diary of an Eccentric wrote the ONLY proper Emma and Elton: Something Truly Horrid review the story has received. I learned of the post right when Jane and Bingley started posting, so though I was late to the game, the timing probably was perfect. Read it here: http://

NaNoWriMo 2013: The Madness of Mr. Darcy
Keep on truckin'! Twisted Austen is over, and NaNoWriMo is on! I've been posting with renewed regularity as of late, but I'm afraid this event necessitates as slowdown, as I cannot blog and speed write a novel all at the same time. I have a few reviews of very excellent books scheduled to post over the next few weeks, which should hopefully prevent an entire loss of momentum, so please check

They were not welcomed home very cordially by their mother, who wondered at their coming, but it was no more than what both sisters expected. Their father showed true pleasure at their return, and their sisters were gratified by the increase of audience for either moral ministrations or militia gossip, as the case might be.

Elizabeth smiled brightly in greeting. “You look well rested! No adverse effects from last evening’s frivolity?”
Jane returned the expression. “No. My daring journey to the drawing room has not set back my recovery. I feel much improved.”
“Good! I was hoping you would, and not only for my own selfish reasons. Nothing matters more to

Relief was more than twenty-four hours away, the boredom of which was broken up by visits from Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst, who remained doting and, fortunately, formal in their address, and the periodic disappearance of Elizabeth, who seemed, to Jane’s eye, to spend a great deal more time with the company than one who professed to dislike them so

“Then you should have said so. I would not have had as much opposition were your wishes known,” Elizabeth smiled, though her eyes betrayed nothing but concern, as she quickly made a survey of the accommodations and the patient.

The Bennets were at breakfast when a letter from Netherfield came for Jane. Its arrival interrupted an exceedingly ridiculous conversation, which had just reached its culmination in this dire contribution from Lydia: "My aunt says that Colonel Forster and Captain Carter do not go so often to Miss Watson's as they did when they first came; she sees them now very often
