Wow Kirk, what great progress. What did you think of Darcy's Enchantment? I'm waiting on Audible.

Looks like with this post I will be heading for Pemberley at first light. I have enjoyed being here with Colonel Brandon... I do so love him. However, the shades of Pemberley are calling and I must answer. My Challenge numbers don't match this due to the number I have read that don't have a GR link. 182. [Reread] [*Unpub] As Good As A Lord: rosemary: 12-20-18: 4-stars http://meryton.com/aha/index.php?show...
Rating: clean, short, one-shot: Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet: a new paradigm. Hilarious and oh so entertaining. That is what Mrs. B gets for snooping in Lizzy’s room.

195. [*Unpub] Beyond Longbourn: prhood [dang… incomplete] 4-stars https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12492136...
16 chapters: rating: clean: alternate universe: Blurb: “While visiting the Gardiners in London Elizabeth makes a new acquaintance who ultimately provides essential support for her after tragedy strikes the Bennet family.” This story is incomplete. It was last updated on Sept 2, 2017 with assurances from the author that it was being worked on and would not be dropped.
196. [*Unpub] The Bookseller’s Widow: prhood: 4-stars https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12241166...
Short, one-shot, 1 chapter: rating: clean but there is a mention of adult themes. Blurb: “Darcy does not encounter Elizabeth at Pemberley; Lydia is lost and the Bennet family's reputation is ruined.” If you don’t like stories where D&E are married to other people… this is not for you.

I really struggled in the middle of the book to read more than 5-10% a night. Some "elements" of the story were interesting. Some many folks here gave this one a 5 rating. Happy listening!!!

#195 -- I have been waiting patiently for this to resume and I had been afraid P.R. Hood would not write more … but he has posted two short works last Fall/Winter.
This is a great premise:
Lady Catherine … not quite a thief
Rev. Collins -- not quite a murderer
Debbie update:187. The Black Moth - 5 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
First novel written by the incomparable Georgette Heyer...when she was fifteen. Amazing!
188. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Poet: A Pride & Prejudice Variation - 4.75 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Unique plot. P&P with elements of You've Got Mail.
189. A Most Alarming Report: A Pride and Prejudice Variation Novella - 5 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Well-written zaniness, hurling Darcy and Elizabeth from one life-threatening crisis to the next.
190. His Choice of a Wife: A Pride and Prejudice Variation - 3.5 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Emphasizes the terrible parenting by both Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and takes the Lydia-and-Wickham storyline in a whole new direction. I thought the second half of the book was much better than the first.
191. The Prince and the Pauper (non-JAFF) - 5 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Nice to revisit an old favorite after a long time and find it's still fantastic.
Finally got my review up for my #172, A Lady's Reputation. (I'd received and read an ARC before the GR listing was up.) My old review was for the earlier unpublished version.

Isn't it??? And she wrote it to entertain her brother, which is just so kind!
This brings to mind another author that has blown me away by writing an excellent book at such a young age. See below:
"POPULAR ANSWERED QUESTIONS
Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Roseanna M. White My next book to come out, The Lost Heiress, was actually my first finished novel, which I wrote at age 12-13. My inspiration at the time was a combination of fairy tales and Lori Wick's Kensington Chronicles. =) I've rewritten that story approximately a gazillion times and am soooooo excited that it's finally being published! It is barely recognizable from that first draft, but the heart of the story is still the same...
Fabulous progress Debbie!Congratulations Jeanne, I will see you at Pemberley in a couple of months (hopefully)!

Heyer's consistency as an author throughout her life is so impressive. While some authors wrote their great books at very young ages--S.E. Hinton began The Outsiders at age 15--Heyer is unusual that she didn't have just one very creative period, but churned out books until the very end.
Just as a funny note, I recently stumbled upon a amusing quote in this review of a biography of Heyer in The Guardian, which partially explains her prodigious output:
"Heyer turned out two (mostly well-written) novels a year for almost four decades, a feat she performed with the help of gin, fags and Dexedrine. Under the influence of the latter, she could write for up to 24 hours at a time."
https://www.theguardian.com/books/201...
Excellent! Sorry you didn't care for No Other Recourse: A Pride and Prejudice Variation. I loved the way the plotting to save her reputation played out.

Re: your #160 - I REFUSE to read books in which Elizabeth sells herself, even Thursday's Child, in which she sells her body to bear a child for Darcy and Anne, or in which she marries Wickham. I also don't want stories of rape.

I just looked up Necessity is the Mother of Invention and see that it has 52 chapters and is to be continued.
However, bottom line - congratulations on your great progress. Good work.

Sheila, I share your sensibilities, however, here the "selling" part is not really graphic if that helps. ;)
Thank you for the comment but I have enough stories to read which don't have that type of premise that I can skip this. I just don't want to think about ODG in that type of situation...even though I know it happened to women in those days. And today with the sex trade that goes on we are not over it so I don't want to in any way romanticize such.
Sheila wrote: "Thank you for the comment but I have enough stories to read which don't have that type of premise that I can skip this.

Elin, you rock! My jaw kinda went slack when I saw your extensive list. Whew, Girl!
And p.s. I love stealing from your lists.... :)
Sheila: I agree a 1000% on the Elizabeth selling/mistress etc. I didn't read the blurb nor reviews up front on the No Other Recourse book, lesson hard learned... I loathed it, regardless of the lack of graphic descriptions. I just cannot stomach it. - Necessity is the mother of Invention is complete by the bye. It says to be continued but that was only an epilogue of the secondary characters fates which was never written.
Michelle: Thank you! Feel free to steal anything your heart desires :)
Thanks for telling me that about Necessity - I added it to my list of TBR.

I know! Heyer sounds like quite a character (although not always a pleasant one). As a writer, though, I'll stick to the coffee! I get high on Sudafed. Although I do kind of like the image of her with a gin and tonic, smoking, and reading some obscure Regency history book in one hand and typing with the other.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
22 really excellent JA-inspired stories. Laurel Ann Mattress, the editor, had posted an offer in this group a few months back offering free copies, and I took her up on it. So glad I did!
193. A Capital Whip: A Pride and Prejudice Sequel - 5 stars

Nice novella giving Anne deBough a chance to shine.
194. The Journey Home to Pemberley - draft copy from Joana Starnes
This is still going through some edit changes, so I'm not going to rate the version I read. It's Joanna's usual high quality and I'm sure it'll be very successful.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Bleah!
197. Matchmaking at Pemberley - 3 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Not very well written or well proofread. Characters don't always behave believably.
198. Mrs. Collins' Lover - 2.5 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Yes, Elizabeth is Mrs. Collins, and yes, Darcy is her lover. If you can get past that, my low rating is not for the plot but because it's draggy and bored me.
199. And Then Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation Prequel - 5 stars

The first in Leenie Brown's sweet Willow Hall Romance series.

Elin! So many great books in your list. many I'm reading or about to. bravo on continued progress. Hope you are still writing as well. I've loved both that I've read!
Oh, thank you Sara!!!I will be writing more, now that school have started up again.
I am about halfway through two books at the moment.
*One is a Regency, continuation of 2005 movie. A sweet and (hopefully) funny romance with a plot where Elizabeth's parenthood is at question. I wanted to write a Caroline that were not vile but more of a pain in the but and redeem Lady C. It explores the engagement period, their honeymoon and Elizabeth's introduction to the ton. It will be the first in at least 3 books as I have plots for Anne and Richard will do something that Darcy will not like. They will have a fall out but who's in the right might be left to the reader to decide. Later I have a plot involving their children, involving Queen Victoria... I will have to devid it into several books or write an really long one...
*The second is a modern mystery. I have moved Meryton to Kent (needed shoreline). E works at an explosive factory, lady C is the owner. A two component military explosive will be stolen and Jane will not be sick but drugged at Netherfield. It will take ODC to Yemen, at odds, looking for the stolen explosives, the thief and a missing Bennet sister. I wanted to write a modern situated in England and pay homage to my fabulous coworkers at Dyno Nobel explosives inc. I worked there for years and have some particular insights to the theme...
But... I also need to edit SW and my saving angel Jeanne is helping me. She is my Oracle of Delphi where language and grammar are concerned. Hopefully, our joint effort will make it presentable to FF or AHA, when it is done (crossing my fingers).

Wishing you and your writing muse well!
