Re: Wow, that sounds like a weird story
I agree about it not being something most people would want to read. I only read it once myself, which is partly why I can't remember the title or author. Sandy & Pearl have added details I had...

Thank you both very much! Yes, it sounds like "at sixes and sevens" would be okay to use. Heather, I had also noticed the tendency for women to confine their gambling to cards, and had assumed that...

Thank you so much, Janet. Couldn't remember it at all!

It was long ago that I read it but I don't think she left alone for 15-like years (as in the story Margaret F asked about), athought there was a lot of angst in that story as well.
View ArticleRe: The story with the nerve damage is A Woman Worthy
No indeed. I never meant to imply that A Woman Worthy was the story sought in the original query. I was merely answering Sandy's question.

definitely! Thanks so much . Since I couldn't remember which story it was, I couldn't say with any surety that it was the story asked about. I only knew that Elizabeth was injured and went to the...

View ArticleRe: non-canon pairings
I don't like non canon pairings but where it is part of a well written story that keeps the main character traits, I can handle it. I agree thoroughly with your comment about masochistic Darcy's and...
View ArticleRe: non-canon pairings
I like non-canon pairings, as long as they are plausible. For instance, I think that a Darcy-Jane pairing could be very realistic. I'd really like to read a story with this pairing.
View ArticleRe: non-canon pairings
I don't like non-cannon pairing when it comes to D & E. I will tolerate other non-cannon pairings between other characters if it is well written. If I see in the description that it does not pair...

I have no problem with non-canon pairings in theory, even when they involve D and E, but like you, I like my stories to stay true to Austen's characterizations. If a character changes, that change...

I donĀ“t care about alternate Pairings, the main thing for me is that D&E come together.

Also, I get really irked If the author doesn't warn the reader in advance that it is NOT a D&E pairing, or that it does not have a happy ending, You shouldn't trick people into reading your story!...
