Persuasion captions --existing fics
Two of the captions for the first Persuasion picture (at the concert) reflect a set of stories that have already been written by Susan K and Laura Louise. Love Suffers Long and is Kind (and its...

I'm intrigued by the idea of bringing in Caroline for this role, and if all goes well I could come to love this twist. That being said, I hope her character doesn't just morph into the Augusta Hawkins...

I loved it. There has been a Twitter campaign asking for exactly this (#CarolineforMrsElton) and I'm so glad they listened to the fans! If there hadn't been a snobby principal investigator sitting...

A couple of weeks ago I posted that I've been wondering about some tendencies I've seen in some Fan fiction I've been reading at various websites recently. I posted a question about hating Jane, and...

Augusta is definitely more crass than Caroline. Caroline, we're told, has considerable powers of conversation and the ability to please when she chooses. August is just plain vulgar and doesn't know...

I agree with you. Practically perfect protagonists are both less realistic and less interesting than flawed ones. And I definitely agree with why and how Darcy comes to love her! This goes along with...

On his tumblr Bernie said that she will do what Augusta has to do, but she will very much remain LBD's Caroline Lee. SQUEE!

From an intellectual point of view I prefer humanly flawed characters. But there are times I want the fanfiction therapy stories too. Both have their uses and it depends on my mood which I will prefer...

I had in mind many of the things you said, actually. Caroline in LBD is perceptive and manipulative. She quickly figured out what made Lizzie tick and successfully used it to her own advantage. She...

I like the insight that many people are essentially writing a story about a wittier Jane and a shyer Bingley, rather than Darcy and Elizabeth, and just using the names of the favored couple. It's a...

I have also noticed that, particularly with Mr. Darcy. There are stories whose chief purpose seems to be to justify him--which can range between a fascinating experiment in how deftly you can avoid...

I think there was a larger influx of 'shy Darcy' stories after the 2005 movie. I read an interview with Matthew Macfadyen in which he described how he prepared for the movie. (He had NEVER read...

I never thought of Fifth as too old. I would say that he never really fit for me as Mr Darcy, which is odd because I've found him quite attractive in other things.(No death threats please) No, I think...
