In my copy it's on the second page of the prologue (which might have something to do with the fact that I responded so negatively to the rest of the book
In my copy reads just as in Renne's. "the juicy Mr Darcy..."
I read the book on the plane this *winter/summer(*I was going north so my winter did turn into summer)and I found it quite entertaining...Not much of a Mr Darcy but the young suitor does resemble him in a way...He is reserved and shy and does not show his feelings openly. And the heroine is indeed quite prejudiced with the age difference. So, all in all, I must say I quite enjoyed it, though it is nothing to Austen.

I've read somewhere that a book called " The last man in the world" was previously in on- line form. Anybody have read it ?
Is it still available on- line ?
Thanks !

A short while back I posted a message on this thread. I asked to be notified of replies. Now my e-mailinbox is inundated with messages about replies. Help. How do I turn off this function? Thanks!

Margo,
Abigail R has withdrawn all her beautiful stories from the sites. Yet you can buy them through Amazon and Lulu.com. They are all worthy of your purchase. I have read all of them and this one in particular is a delightful experience.

Yet you can buy them through Amazon

For various reasons, obviously, I'd appreciate it if you'd order them at Amazon through Mrs Darcy.

R~

Another record, ladies: yesterday the average increased to 1,907!

FYI: the link to Mrs Darcy's online store...

Ooopps
I mean...you can order them through Mrs Darcy store and at the same time help to keep this lovely site. That wayyou kill two birds with one stone

Thanks Eli and Renee' !
I've never buy anything on line, well at least till now. I'm consindering though to do it through Mrs Darcy on line store. I suppose i have to get a credit card ??? ( Yes, i'm such a finance ignoramuse !)

Yes. But you can rest assure that it is quite safe. I have made many purchases thorough the site and never regret it!

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems logging into hyacinth gardens?? . . .

Cheryl, the site is closed at the moment. The admins are upgrading it. A little birdie whispered in my ear though that it won't be long anymore.

hi! could you tell me when HG will be back?[:)plssss...

No, sorry, I cannot.

Thanks for the info Renee its good to know!!

I emailed the admins, and they said technical issues are taking longer than they thought. But they're doing the best they can to get it back up.

We will just have to exercise a little bit more patience.

Thanks for the info, Melissa!

Has anyone heard from Tanya about Strange Bedfellows? I dearly miss this story, thanks.

To Anniina about the christian name of Mr. Darcy in the Jane Austen Book Club; (I still don't know how to use quotes );

I have read the English version and the Dutch translation (Reneé O, are you Dutch, too, or did I guess wrong?), and in both versions they refer to Mr. Darcy or to Fitzwilliam Darcy, so I think it is just your translation. Luckily ! Karen Joy Fowler is a Jane Austen expert I believe, for I have seen several copies with a prologue written by her.

It is a great book, I can't wait to watch the movie , has anyone seen it so far?

Greet from a greaaaaaat P&P fan,
Marloes

Reneé O, are you Dutch, too, or did I guess wrong?

I definitely am, m'dear. Welkom, Marloes!

I've only seen a trailer of the movie, and it looked very nice, so I'm lookign forward to it.

Please ignore this message. I am just trying to turn off the notification mode. Thanks, carol

Thanks Marloes:) I'm considering re-reading the book in English to see if I'd like it better that way. I got so upset with all the mistakes in the Finnish version (for instance, in addition to calling Mr. Darcy "Mark" there was also a point where Elizabeth Bennet was referred to as Emily Bennet and at one point Sylvia's husband was suddenly called David) that in the end I sent an email to the publishing company and told them that I was most seriously displeased with the way they'd polluted the shades of the Jane Austen Book Club:)

Wow, Emily Bennet That is a very ill mistake, indeed. Haha, you might scare them with that message! They will think you are a reincarnation of Lady Catherine

They will think you are a reincarnation of Lady Catherine

I doubt it. Judging from the horrific mistakes made that must have no idea who the heck Lady Catherine is

@ Eli:

Good point Or they think it is Lady Caroline or something

You crack me up, lady Caroline sounds EXACTLY like someone who might appear in the Finnish Jane Austen Book Club

The link on the Mrs. Darcy site to Jane Austen Regency Fanfiction Index goes to a page requiring a user id and password, but no area to register for those. Any guidance on how one could gain access to that particular link?

Agree with all the sentiment here that the Mrs. Darcy site is really great!

I'm a huge fan of this JA website, but I also like one called Longbourn Loungers which is dedicated to fanfiction based on the 2005 movie version of P&P. Today it seems to not be there anymore. Does anyone know the story on that? Has it been discontinued from the Life and Stuff space, or did it move? Googling it didn't locate it.

Agree with all the sentiment here that the Mrs. Darcy site is really great!

Thank you!

The username to the JA/FF index = MDSreader
The login name = MrsDarcy

Use capitals where required, user name and login are case sensitive. On the Stories Page you'll find the link to the username and login, Maura. Happy browsing!

Today it seems to not be there anymore. Does anyone know the story on that?

No idea. I tried too. Not even a message that the site is down. I'll e-mail one of the authors over there I'm acquainted with and ask her.

Received a reply in the meantime, and actually it doesn't look good.

check out this link

Thanks, Renee, for researching it. Hopefully those ff writers at LL will post their stories at other JA sites, if indeed the site is permanently gone. I appreciate your quick response!

I know of one, our dear Sandra, whose stories can be found elsewhere. She has her own FF site.

Here's the link: Pen and Ink

Unfortunately I don't know the other authors.

Ladies and gents, LL will be up soon again. It was all a misunderstanding. So no worries about virusses or hackers or whatever!

BTW, I'm deleting all other FF sites from the link section of my site except for the JA/FF index. My section was incomplete anyway. Apart from that it so often happens that sites are down. So, I thought it best to just stick to the index. From there all other FF sites can be found.

Thank you for your understanding

Renee,

How do you register for the JA/FF Site? It doesn't appear to give me any info on how to do it?

There's no need to register, just fill out the User ID and the pass word.

You will find them here

Thanks Renee, I thought I'd missed something!!

Does anyone have current information about Hyacinth Gardens? I heard at the end of September that they were working on it, and nothing since. I sent an email to two of the mods Friday morning and it bounced back to me as undeliverable today.

Does anyone have current information about Hyacinth Gardens?

I'm sorry, no, no news at all. It's not the first time the site is down for such a long time, so I expect it to be back eventually.

Bonjour Mesdames, Hello Ladies !!

Just a little message to tell you this :

Hyacinthgardens is back !

Would it be a Christmas gift ?

I go back to read the last chapter of Belen's "Obstacles"...

Bye Girls !

Thanks for the heads-up, Quiet. Cool news for the HG fans.

So what's up with AHA?

As I understand it AI/AHA are changing servers and there are some issues at the moment with accessibility.

Be patient, my dears, I bet the admins are working hard to solve things.

In the meantime, enjoy the other JA/FF sites. There are goodies everywhere.

Thanks God! :P
I thought AHA was down permanently!!!

I've got good news for you, dear fans. There's a temporary board to be find here

Erm... to be found, of course!

Ladies and gents, here's the new link to AHA

Yeah! So glad it's back.

Excuse my ignorance, but I have been a new comer to Mrs. Darcy's story site, and I have been reading a few stories. They are very well written, and I ask if it is possible that I could submit my own fanfiction. Again, excuse my ignorance! Thank you.
