Ahem. Yes. We have a new host. If we didn't, you wouldn't be seeing this page.
And by seeing this page, you can be assured that things are progressing toward the HG reopening.
Thank you all for being so patient.
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
hullo, I'v been trying to find an e-book version of Impulse and initiative but in sourcebook.com I can't use my account paypal and other than that, whatever site I've found gives me some problem or another.I've found 3 stories by A. Reynolds on lulu.com and bought them right away, but I've read smashing replies about I&I and I'd like to procure it. Can any of you help me? I don't care for shipping books, and that's why I want it in e-book format. Help me pweeeese :'(
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
thanks^_^I've written an e-mail to A.Reynolds but she still has not answered...I'll wait another couple of days and then I'll send her another e-mail to her. Thanks
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
on another note, I've started reading 'Lullaby' on AHA and found this fic really good...but it's been months since it has been updated. Does the author post on another site?and does any of you know of some other fics in witch dear Georgiana is no more? I've finished 'No more tears' yesterday and it gave me another possible facet of Darcy's character (how many more does he have?)but if you know of some completed work in witch Georgiana is dead or Darcy is ill/incapacitated, I'd be most grateful. (no, I'm not a fan of angst but I like to see Elisabeth as a conforting nurse/companion eccecc.):P

Feel free to post it in this thread, and hopefully an answer will soon follow.
Does anyone remember a story which has Darcy in competition with John Lucas? In one scene he squeezes onto a sofa to sit near Elizabeth. I cannot remember the title.
Hey! I've been trying to find stories in which Elizabeth is the first to fall for Darcy, both regency and modern? Anyone know any?
Thanks!

there is an excellent , funny story by Kent, in which Bingley gets engaged with Jane, and only afterwards he summons Darcy to Netherfield. Elizabeth enamours him and the poor man cannot help it. It is great fun. Unfortunately I am not sure of the name...but if you go search for it under Kent at the JAFFS I am certain you will find it. Kent had not more than 3 or 4 stories. It is not Loose Lips, though. Of that I am certain.Good luck!

Hi, Troubled,
It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but "Shyness and Sincerity", by Sofie, has an Elizabeth who, in the Meryton assembly, discovers Darcy is not proud, but shy. This changes her interpretation of his manner in all their subsequent meetings, causing her to feel an interest in him much earlier.
I'm not much into shy Darcys normally, but it's a sweet story.
Does anyone know a story that starts out with Elizabeth either owning or running a restaurant?

Hi,
I remember reading such a story. Could it be Amy-Clare's "Gingerbread"? That was posted over at the HG.
Cheers,

Could it be EBB @ AHA, by Stacy. She hasn't updated since earlier this year. But, Elizabeth owns a restaurant.
Good Luck,

Does anyone remember this line in the wedding night scene of Darcy and Elizabeth in a story..."A little later she realized the kiss had been but a distraction as he slowly entered her." ?
The words may vary, but if anyone recollects the name of the story I would be infinitely endebted.
HAs anyone come across a ff where Elizabeth is engaged to someone else before Darcy comes on the scene. He is a High Lord/Warrior king and uses Caroline Bingley's powers as a witch to persuade Elizabeth to marry him.
I started reading it a while back but I cant remember what its title or author. Darcy does have long hair worn in a plait though ;)!
The only one involving witchcraft in Medieval times I can think of is A Heart wants what a Heart Wants by Amber. This is the link...hope it is this one.http://meryton.com/mrr/hyacinthgirl/THWWTHW1.html
Whoops - sorry Renee - did i post in the wrong place?
My dear, you opened a new thread unnecessarily. Questions like the one you asked are posted in this sticky thread on top of the page, so that visitors - who might have the answer - will probably notice your question sooner.
I lost a story I meant to re-read. It was a modern AU, and I remember that Georgiana was deaf while one of the things Wickham did was tell Elizabeth that she was mentally handicapped. Any idea what story that is? Thanks in advance!
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
Does anyone know the name and author of the story where Darcy kisses Elizabeth before she accepts his proposal and Colonel Fitzwilliam witnesses it? Elizabeth doesn't tell Darcy no after that because she is compromised.
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
Cindy, I think the story you are looking for is "The Last Man in the World" by Abigail Reynolds. It's published thru Amazon.com. It's part of her Pemberley Variations. A very good read.
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
It can also be a beautiful story by a nice British lady from Derbyshire but it is unfinished. I cannot recall the name of the story , but it is at Firthness. The author's name begins with L...I think. I will check for you...

Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
Curious about HG.....
Just following up on this site-it seems to have a new home page but I am unable to get to stories or see anyway to log in....Any new information or has anyone logged in yet and can tell me how? Maybe they are still working on it?

Does anyone remember a story where the Gardiners are rather Bohemian - entertaining musicians and poets and such. Also in the story Georgiana becomes friends with the Gardiners and there is a possible pairing with Jane and Colonel Fitzwilliam.

Sorry, nobody knows (that I can tell ).
You might keep checking for news at the HG Backup Board:
http://hyacinthgardens.streekgids.nl/
Cheers,
Julia B
I've checked today. Indeed, no news at all, Julia. Since Marjo won't allow new members on the backup board, I promise to check it out once in a while and report. I actually wonder whether the HG will ever be up again. I hope I'm wrong though, for the sake of those authors who have only posted their stories over there, and for the fans who won't be able to (re-)read them.
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
Thanks for the update and the help! I had thought I heard a rumor about a new board, but maybe it was just the backup board I heard about. That would make more sense. Pity they're not taking new members. Thanks!
Hm... for as far as I know she used to post only on her own site, so now I'm wondering even more whether the HG will ever be up again. Wonder too what will happen to all those stories of authors who don't show in the fandom anymore. . Let's hope I'm too pessimistic. Let's not forget that it hapened before.

Allison's 'Forces of Passion' have the musically inclined Gardiners whom Georgiana comes to like. THe story (at Firthness) is a WIP and is broken off at the point before one knows whether Jane & the Colonel will get together.
I agree Renee, that this doesn't look good for HG. However, I'm thrilled that Amber posted "The Heart Wants What the Heart Wants" at the Meryton Reading Room because I was just about to re-read it when HG went down, and now I have the chance to read it again.
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
hi!
Does anyone know where to find a story titled: "The luxury gap"? I found only part of it at: http://web.archive.org/web/20020213101600/homepage.powerup.com.au/~lgenn/droolfic/luxury-gap-1.htm
and it's lacking part 8 and anything after 9...

Thank you for the link for Luxury Gap. I've been looking for the rest of this story for some time now. Does anyone know what happened to the Jane Austen Fan Fiction Index site? I haven't been able to access it for the last 2 days. I hope it comes back up soon and is not going the way of Hyacinth Gardens.

Victoria is experiencing technical problems but she's working on it. I'm sure she will post a message as soon as the database is up again.

I just got in to the JAFF Index so it looks like it is back up.
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
Hullo, it's been sometime since I wrote here and in my frre hours I decided to read Emma (very good by the way even if I'll always prefer P&P). Anyway, I've tried to find some good fic about it but I've been, so far, unsuccessful. Is there someone that knows of some lengty novel about Emma? With a good plot and believable characters?thanks^_^
