I'm so happy that you found your way here and hope that, over time, I can create a story space that is both entertaining and engaging. As with my [many] previous attempts to start this space, my goal is still to use this forum as a means of exploring my love for the wonderful world of Jane Austen Fanfiction ("JAFF").
It will become apparent soon enough that writing is not my day job. Nevertheless, something about JAFF, especially Pride & Prejudice, captured my full attention and set my imagination in motion years ago. I can, more or less, date my capture to the 2005 release of the Pride & Prejudice movie. Since that time, I've been a voracious JAFF enthusiast who will read just about anything and everything P&P-related. Often more than once!
Not having previously been a big fan of Regency-era fiction, something about the characters, settings, and emotions of Pride & Prejudice hooked me irrevocably. From there the rest, as they say, is history. Now, however, I feel like I want to take the next step into the fandom and leap into the unknown to try my hand at my own stories.
I have so many ideas and such high hopes that even just beginning seems rather daunting. I finally feel like I'm in a place where I am ready to give it a try though. I fully understand that there is "no mean like e-mean" and expect ups and downs, good ideas and bad, successes and disappointments, but through it all, and no matter how it goes, I will be happier knowing that I at least tried.
So please be patient as I take cautious steps forward with the hope that perhaps someone, somewhere appreciates my attempt at exploring the possibilities of putting Jane Austen's beloved characters in new and exciting situations.
