Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
Mrs Darcy's proud to announce that the first three chapters of one of her all time favourite stories taking place in the equestrial world, "Obstacles to Overcome", have been posted.
The story is completed, but Belén's editing it and will send it to me in clusters of three.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I. 
You can express your appreciation in this thread. I'm sure Belén will appreciate it very much.

I'm sorry Mihaela, but I'm just cheching misspells and grammar. I don't think I'll add any new scenes to this story. It's quite long!
Thank you

Either way it suits me ! I loved it as it was, anything added would have been a bonus ! Nor that I have noticed any misspels or extra-length!
And who would protest if there were to be more of EHH ? Or an exclussive vignette for Mrs Darcy ?

Mihaela, you're so full of splendid ideas!
 In case you haven't got one, B?... tee hee!

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
Love it, love it, love it! I stopped riding a few years ago, but this fic makes me want to start again! Any chance we'll get a new vignette, Belen? Pretty please? I'd settle for one from "Paper Jam" ... I'm not picky!

EHH is here now!  I love this story, Belen. Thanks for posting it here. I watched show jumping on TV not too long ago and you KNOW who was on my mind, right? And it's all your fault. Which is a GOOD thing!

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
This is one of the very first ff I have read and I completely fell in love with this story (and this Darcy). I have read many other great fictions since than, but there were very few which could even try to compete with "Obstacles".
I read somewhere else you have had some hard time in your RL and just wanna send hugs  and smiles and huge thank you for this wonderful story

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
I got to the end of the new chapters and I just wanted to cry. One, out of frustration for being left off at that moment. But most of all I enjoyed how you played out Darcy and Elizabeth. She realized a lot sooner than I would have thought that she was crazy about Darcy. I can only hope for speedy updates!
And Wickham being gay, o man that was a twist.

Thank you Girls!
And Margaret, these are my two favourite chapters for this story because their feelings come out so raw and they feel with such intensity that I cannot but feel with them.
I'm so happy that you are enjoying this old story.

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
Belén, I cannot tell you how much I enjoy re-reading your terrific story. Certainly now that they feel more and more at ease with each other. I so remember their ride across the grounds of Pemberley.
One thing I had forgotten... Aberystwyth is mentioned... I've been there on my very first vacation with my boyfriend - in the meantime my husband for many many years - back in 1971. We hitchhiked through England to Wales and stayed on a camping site of a former lover of one of my sisters. He held horses too! Wow, I haven't thought of it for a long time, so thank you for having brought back such sweet memories.

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
Belen,
I have loved, loved, loved this story. I am so impressed with your writing; I feel like I am right there! Wonderful character development! This Darcy is one of my favorite fanfiction versions to date -- Regency or modern -- he is amazing -- dreamy, actually. As a horselover I am especially thrilled with how you've used the equestrian theme. It really works! When you first posted to this site, I was hesitant to begin reading because there is nothing more frustrating than beginning a story only to have it end midstream -- but I confess, I found this on another fanfiction site and could hardly stop reading. Was so happy! Now, I am reading it AGAIN on this site and wondered if you are making changes to this version? Seems like you must be because as impossible this may seem, it is even better. Anyway, thank you very much for this delightful and satisfying story. WELL DONE!

Thank you Pauline!
Obstacles is already finished so if you are anxious to know how it ends, you can read the compelte story at Austen Interlude. this is a revised version, but it differes very little from the original.
Good Read!

Show jumping album! Ha-- Now that is funny! Poor Lizzy, trying to recover some dignity from her utter embarrassment of her family, etc. only to be tormented further by a now funny-man-Darcy. I'm so glad they are together finally! I'm all smiles.

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
I just discovered this today, Renée. I read it through, well until there was no more...
This is lovely... and specially because I do love horses!!!
You wrote it so lively... Darcy's personality is very interesting, loyal to its P&P-original in many ways...
and Lizzies's too. I am starting falling for the Modern versions of P&P (although I once thought I would never be able to enjoy them ...) After all, you do have amazing ones here!!!...
Look forward to reading next chapters soon.

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
Very nice, indeed. I can very well understand Elizabeth's situation and her insecurity towards Darcy. They belong to two different worlds and to bridge them it is not an easy task. But thanks God love has the power to overcome all barriers. And as Darcy fell so strongly and since so long for Lizzy, he is not going to give her up now. Good that Lady C and Ann are on his side, too.
Look forward for... MORE!!!

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
I love the way you describe her state of mind after the last kiss: "like a zombie...she went to her room"... It shows how unexperienced and innocent Lizzy is and it fits so well to the story. Wonderfully written.

Such a shame that it takes so long until the next post is up.
One is "forced" to look for the story somewhere else...
And that is not fair...
I would sincerely prefair to read it all through here.
In any way, the story is finished, isn't it?

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén
Maria, dear, thanky you so much for your loyalty. Obviously I prefer the visitors to remain here as well, but in this case either I or Belén can help it. Belén is editing this story but her time is limited, and I am of course dependant of her. Most of the time I post shortly after having received the chapters. I'm anxiously awaiting the new ones as you are.

Great chapter Belen. I was quite squirming in my seat at the uncomfortable dinner situation. That Bennet family, regardless of who's writing the story, is always so embarrassing. Glad you are working diligently to finish this story to a happy resolution! Keep up the good work!
