Welcome back to Austen Promises! This story is way off canon. Bingley never rented Netherfield, so never met Jane. Lizzy and Darcy never met .... until now. Lizzy is fifty years of age and Darcy is fifty-seven or fifty-eight. Neville is not Mary's oldest child. Today, we have The Big Moment. <3 You'll find the … Continue reading Thursday’s 300: A MUCH Later Meeting, Part 5

Purple Things I Love: Purple Cravats
Welcome back to Austen Promises! Here’s a link to last week’s post, in case you missed it. 🙂 Last week, I wrote about purple ties. A little voice inside me suggested I write about cravats first, after all, I do write Regency JAFF. However, I had already begun the article, so I wrote the idea … Continue reading Purple Things I Love: Purple Cravats

Thursday’s 300: A MUCH Later Meeting, Part 4
Welcome back to Austen Promises! In this story, Lizzy is fifty years of age and Darcy is fifty-seven or fifty-eight. Neville is not Mary's oldest child. Pride & Prejudice was written in the late 1700's and published in 1813. I've always considered it unlikely that people assume a book written before the turn of a … Continue reading Thursday’s 300: A MUCH Later Meeting, Part 4

Mondays with Austen: Jane Austen Tattoos
Welcome back to Austen Promises! Now, I am not a tattoo lover. I don’t find them the least attractive, despite being fond of looking at Jason Mamoa and others like him. It’s not the tattoos that attract me, it’s that he’s got that bad boy vibe, and I’m a sucker for a bad boy. (The … Continue reading Mondays with Austen: Jane Austen Tattoos
Thursday’s 300: A MUCH Later Meeting, Part 3
Welcome back to Austen Promises! As I've said before, this is a very different variation. ODC is much older the first time they meet, and as a matter of fact, except for Charlotte and Collins, none of the canon couples get together. We'll have three or four more posts, at least. I still have to … Continue reading Thursday’s 300: A MUCH Later Meeting, Part 3

Austen Authors February 3, 2020: Sketching Mr. Collins’ Character
William Collins is one of the Pride and Prejudice characters that most JAFF readers love to hate. JAFF authors, myself included, have done all manner of things with and to him, some good and some not so good. For example, Leenie Brown made him loveable in Master of Longbourn. In To Save Elizabeth, I made … Continue reading Austen Authors February 3, 2020: Sketching Mr. Collins’ Character
