Jane Austen Challenge

[ArabellaFiggs]

I have noticed that I am not the only Jane Austen fan around here so I decided to challenge you all for a Jane Austen story. The story must include the following lines:

"It is a truth universally acknowledged.........."
Pride and Prejudice

"If there us any thing disagreeable going on, men are always sure to get out of it."
Persuasion

"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more."
Emma

"You have delighted us long enough"
Pride and Prejudice

"The person, be it a gentleman or a lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid."
Northanger Abbey

"Every savage can dance"
Pride and Prejudice

"What a dreadful hot weather we have. It keeps on in a continued state of inelegance"
Jane Austen

Have fun. ;D

No, you are definitely not the only Austen fan here. I like your challenge, but I don't know when I'd be able to try it. :-)

hmm...I want to write one of these, but like Catwoman99 I don't know when that might happen.
And yes, I am a huge Austen fan. Have you read "The Jane Austen Book Club"? It was excellent.

[Catwoman99]

I haven't read that one yet. It's on my list though. So many books, so little time. Always a pleasure to meet another Austen fan. I've been posting a Pride and Prejudice fan fic I started years ago at FF.net (though I haven't updated in a while, I really should do that) if you're interested. My username is Catwoman99.

I remember reading a fic a few years ago that was P&P done Harry Potter style where Elizabeth was a new teacher at Hogwarts and Darcy was the Potions Master. I don't think it ever got finished though.

I bought The Jane Austen Book Club but I have the same problem as you April. To much books, so little time to read. Although, just came back from my holiday and read 9 books in two weeks time.

Wasn't it Nerweniel how started a ADMM story on FF.net called "Nothing but the deepest love" ?
And then in Pride and Prejudice style ?

[Catwoman99]

Yeah. I don't remember if she finished it. (:-O) I haven't been on FF.net in ages.

[Nerweniel]

Okay, so I didn't finish it YET ;D. It's still on the to-update list .

Love,
