Missyisms has posted a handy and very complete comparison of the various tape and disc versions of P&P2 available, including the extras on the upcoming 10th Anniversary version. (And the Editrix has had her share in the conversation!)
We posted yesterday about MISS AUSTEN REGRETS, a drama serial which is currently casting. Geetika asked one of her cast members about it, who passed on that it is to be produced by BBC Drama (huzzah!) and is described in the casting call as “Drama looking at the life of Jane Austen and why she never married.”
One hopes it is not another Made Up Story! But it is still exciting news.
A new Austen-related Web site has gone online–the Jane Austen Regency Fan Fiction Index. It is not an archive, but a central, searchable index of stories already archived at the various fan fiction sites that have sprung up in the online Austensphere over the past few years. If you’re in the mood for something angsty about the Darcys, you can search by type of story and situation, characters involved, which novel it is based upon, and many other criteria. We have been tremendously impressed with the energy and organization of this project since we first heard about it, and know that VictoriaCl (and her husband) have worked long hours to put it together. Gunner! Fire another twenty-one-gun broadside salute, if you please!
Please note that only period-set stories have been indexed, not modern-set stories. If you have written a story that is not listed, there is a form to submit stories for consideration.
