Darcy's story
those are both really good fan fics!"
I just voted for Darcy's Story. It wasnt on there, but it should be now. I highly enjoyed that one. But might have to look into some of these as well... :)

Yes. People add to the list without reading it all the way through.


And OMG Twilight saga and Fifty shades of grey! How is this connected to Austen at all? And the Bronte sisters?


because stephenie Meyer took some aspects of P&P and placed them in the saga
Not my opinion, but one held by Stephenie herself
and Sylvia Day has stated that the Fifty Shades Series started out as a Twilight fan fic

I have heard about the 50 Shades but I think that this with Twilight is taking it too far... So if a character dies in some book will we call it "ispired by a mastepiece" ? No. Thanks for the information though!


"There has been a horrible rash of thefts of work of other novelists lately. The original copyright holders did not give permission. Here are the originals and copyright holders, then the published copycat and thief's author name.
"A Chance Meeting" by Lis Batten was stolen and published illegally as "Pride and Tribulation: A Jane Austen Fan Fiction" by thief Emma Lee,
"Speak not Againist the Sun." by 4giveMeJane was stolen and published illegally as "Enchanted Hearts" by thief Claire Butler,
"One False Step" by PemberleyFan was stolen and published illegally as "False Pride" by thief Emma Lee,
"A Woman Scorned" by JustMJ was stolen and posted as "Mistress of Pemberley" by thief BronzeWing31340,
"Fair Stands the Wind" and "A New Beginning" by MaxineB were published under their original names and by a thief using the real author's AHA pen name (Maxine B).
Amazon has taken down these stolen books. Please do not buy anything from these authors. If you have an opportunity to publicly shame them, do so. Maxine B was considering publishing, and if she does, we'll hear about it through the JAFF grapevine in anticipation, long before it's out. We hope this incident didn't make her decide not to publish.
Authors, keep a record of the first time you wrote your work. You can see it in "Properties" in MS Word. If you update, keep the first copy. If you don't have it now, and your work is not on a JAFF site but was in the past, contact the JAFF sites to see if anyone downloaded a copy for their own personal use--they may have a date for you."
These are all unpublished novels by the copyright holding author, and someone else decided to publish them as their own. Shame on them.
Michele from Meryton Press suggests registering your copyright. If your work is unpublished, she suggests mailing a copy of your work to yourself.

I completely agree. It is not fan fiction if it is by the author! Emma by ALexander McCall Smith would be though


JAFF is a little different than you are thinking. It is more directly linked. JAFF consists of sequels, variations, retellings, adaptations, closely "inspired by", etc. of Jane Austen's books. Most are specifically Pride and Prejudice related (I have read over 180 P&P JAFF). Georgette Heyer would not be considered JAFF.

Ah, I see... It's all in the word 'fan', I guess :-0
I assumed it was fiction for Jane Austen fans, instead of fiction based on Jane Austen's work. But Bridget Jones's Diary is a bit ambiguous too then, isn't it? I've read the book, ages ago, but never linked it to Jane Austen's work until I noticed it on this list.



Had to ask around JAFF community - Is it Disguise of Any Form by Denise Adams? or Miss Bingley's Revenge by Wendy Solomon?


I have P&P the complete annotated edition, which wouldn't belong here, but surely anything 'wild & wanton' must be FF.

Anyone can add books to this list.
