( One man's ways may be as good as another's, but we all like our own best )

... there is now officially fanfiction based on fanfiction based on her (Jane Austen's) novels! 

I mean, the Lizzie Bennet diaries is basically fanfiction right? (or fan-vlogging?) And today I discovered there is fanfiction based on this vlog series! Now, I'm not very big on fanfiction generally, but here are a few I've been reading and enjoying:

That One Moment: There must have been one moment at least Lizzy thought that Darcy wasn't actually all that bad
A sister's share in the conversation: First impressions are not necessarily made in person. Gigi (Georgiana) stumbles upon a YouTube video on her brother's laptop

Let's just say this proves the timeless power of a great story and strong characters, even more than 200 years later!

(On a side-note, this so makes me want to re-read '21st century Lizzie' by Susannah Clements; the best modern P&P fanfiction around (IMHO, I've not actually read áll of them). Unfortunately, this story is no longer on the web, but if you're interested, PM me your email adress and I'll send it!)
