52 Card Project 2021: Week 10: Jane

[pegkerr]

I had last week off, and I worked hard on continuing to clear stuff out of the house. But every moment that I wasn't doing that, I was reading Jane Austen fanfiction (mostly Pride and Prejudice-centered). I download stuff to my Nook: both Pride and Prejudice variations published on Amazon, as well as unpublished stuff on AO3 and Fanfiction.net. I probably read ten to fifteen books worth over the course of the week. Found a lot of dreck, but some lovely stuff as well. It seemed to be necessary for my back brain.

The central image is one of my prized possessions: an oil painting portrait of Jane from my private collection by the painter Richard Serrin (a great friend of my Dad's). And of course, when reading Jane Austen fanfiction, it is important to drink tea from one's Jane Austen mug.

This is excellent. It also reminds me that somewhere on Twitter I saw someone passing on a simple 2010 review of P&P the novel, allegedly from the UK: "Just a bunch of people going to other people's houses."

I love how you incorporated the AO3 logo into that.

Whenever I see any merchandise related to Jane Austen, and more specifically, P&P, I think of you. <3

Given that, I would be remiss if I didn't make this recommendation: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8523001/chapters/19536781
