That's a lot of stories and it looks like you enjoyed the last several so that's even better.

Excellent Sheila... keep rocking it. Colonel Brandon awaits your entry to his Delaford Library.
Yes, as you said, we seem to be neck-and-neck. Great Company, my friend.
Debbie wrote: "Woo-hoo! Excellent, Sheila!!"Thanks.
Congratulations and welcome to Delaford🤗
Got that one loaded and will get to it soon. 4 stars sounds pretty good. Glad you're entering Colonel Brandon's library on a high note!
I hope you enjoy it. I just wrote my review.

Wow Sheila, your # 101 at 4-stars... looking forward to reading your review. Great entry to the Colonel Brandon level.
Thank you. I am reading one you posted at 4 stars also, An Incident at the Royal Rest Inn.
Oh my... that was the most unusual variation on the trope where Elizabeth is not a Bennet. Oh, but I loved her and Darcy together. The shock and awe will amaze. I hope the author can redo the ending... I can't wait to see what you think.
102.) An Incident at the Royal Rest Inn: leavesfallingup: LFU: 3.5-stars https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12875791...
103.) Properly Humbled By: KimberlyTee Darcy and Elizabeth get to the heart of the matter at Hunsford. One Shot https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... So many of my friends had listed this recently that I had to pull it up. Very short. 3.5 stars (I don't give 5 stars when it is so short.)
This is one I definitely want to read Sheila. I have a soft spot for Mr Bennett and it sounds like fun.
You have to admire how he keeps some respect for his wife forefront in his conversations and even most of his thoughts.
You're moving along steadily, I see. Good for you! I'm in the middle of my periodic reread of both volumes of Imperative, which take a LONG time to read!
I do know what you mean. I watch others post 5, 10 or 20 stories while I read a book of 600 or so pages. I also notice when some post 10 or 20 one-shots so they surge ahead. I don't really care as long as everyone is happy. I think I have read the Imperative and Memory series twice. The second times were so I could post reviews as I read those shortly after they were published. (Some of the first JAFF authors I discovered were Linda Wells, Regina Jeffers, Sharon Lathan and Abigail Reynolds and I was reading all those in paperbacks.)

Yay!! Sheila... I'm on my 3rd Memory book and yes they are very long... over 500 nearly 600 pages. But... I love them. Since I now own the Imperative series [one was a gift from a friend that I appreciate very much], I am looking forward to reading them also.
I don't have the third Memory book but will buy it in kindle form. I really should get it. I keep saving her Keeping Calm chapters and am waiting for an end before I read any further. She has Two hundred eighteen chapters thus far and is only up to October of 1942 so if she is going to take us through the war I can't imagine how long it will be. I found it after she had already posted a number of chapters and read up to the wedding and then stopped. I wish I had kept going but kept thinking I would wait for the end.
That is the disadvantage to following a WIP. In some cases I wish I had just waited for the book. The other disadvantage is finding an excellent story that is incomplete for various reasons and do not look like they will be finished. Oh... the pain of longing for that story. I have several like that and grieve for the loss of such a great story. Oh well, I hope your story moves along to your satisfaction.
Yes, there are maybe 4 or 5 I am following and some have stopped abruptly and no reason given. Brenda Webb and Amy D'Orazio/Alex post regularly. Then there is Unexpected which posts but not as regularly and Reluctantly Mrs. Darcy and The Triumphant Emergence of Elizabeth Darcy, which have not had any action for months. I have others saved but just have not started to read those as I just have too many I am reading already.
Wade H. posts regularly and I have some of his saved. Sophia Turner also posts regularly and I have started (for the second time) to read her Change of Legacies as I see she has her third one finished. I am afraid she will take it down before I get to it but it is so long, (A Season Lost, 73 chapters). To Desire and Deserve is another one I am saving @ 52 chapters! A wealth of choices and I hate to disappoint authors I have read before by not continuing to read and post reviews but...as the mood strikes so the anvil is in the fire.
OH, I forgot...Netherfield the Rogue Dragon...another chapter this morning and soon to be published. It is the third in the series. Today we had some romance!
I am loving that dragon story and the prequel type story of how Elizabeth acquired her fairy dragon April. That is so cute.
I just wondered... What is Sophia Turners name on FF? I have not found her yet.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12887363... A Season Lost By: SophieTurner1805 : As the "Year Without a Summer" threatens estates throughout Britain, Elizabeth and Georgiana both go on journeys that take unexpected turns, while an unexpected romance emerges on Pemberley's grounds. (Third book in the Constant Love series, continuing Pride and Prejudice.)
107.) Sententia Somes Absum, Phasmatis Ago Inhttps://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_200... [Rough Translation of Title: "Though the body be gone, the spirit lives on."]
3.5 stars/One Shot by Bekah: melancholy, One month after their wedding Elizabeth searches for and finds Fitzwilliam in the cemetery on the anniversary of his mother's death. He reminisces about her.
She has a 50 chapter one that I will read soon in which Darcy, a curate, has had Wickham's upbringing and Wickham is the heir to Pemberley.

I hope she will be able to return to writing and pray for her health.
Yes, I think I read that way back in the comment section. It is a horrible disease to get!
We will remember her in our prayers... not for selfish reasons [so she will write for us... well maybe] but for her and her family. I am so sorry that she is ill.
That is so unfortunate. Tim (my oldest son) got Lyme disease last summer, and fortunately, the doctors figured it out pretty quickly. He still missed his entire cross country season, and at the end of the season got the "Lyme disease award.". If she is very ill, maybe it took a while to diagnose?
I do think you might be right as I have heard that if it is diagnosed early it can be treated with few ill effects. Sorry to hear your son missed his season of cross country.
Oh that poor girl! I do hope she gets well soon.
109.) The Birthright: a Pride & Prejudice Variationhttps://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_200... ( 55 chapters plus an epilogue) 5 stars
Aw, shucks. Only 3 stars? Just got it from netgalley earlier today. The description sounded promising. Will have to check out your review.
What was the plot in birthright? 5* wow, must be a fabulous one.
