The contributor guidelines ask that you note which index the story belongs on. For most stories this will be generally self-evident, but in this case I really wasn't sure. If it were a sequel (which was my first instinct, ten years ago when I first had this idea), it would belong on the Epilogue index for certain, because the characters would have been around in the period Austen wrote them in. But because I've shifted everything, and Lizzy is twenty and Darcy twenty-seven in 1830, I wasn't sure it would technically meet the definition.
It's actually kind of remarkable how much had changed in the twenty years or so since the writing of P&P, but it's not quite as drastic as the difference between 1810 and 1870. Hence my question. :)
