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...

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.

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^_^
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
Does anyone here have any problems with accessing the Jane Austen department at fanfiction.net? I cannot reach it anymore, as it says that the site no longer exists?
Just wondering if it's really down or if it's just me?
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Marloes

Never mind, I found it. Instead of one category ('Jane Austen'), they have now separate categories for each of the novels ('P&P', 'Emma'). Phew, glad that it didn't suddenly disappear!
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
Marloes...actually thanks for posting this because if I wouldnt have known, I would have freaked out when I visited the site because I have it saved as a favorite link. Guess I will have to redo my favs. Thanks again!
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
I need help! I been looking for a story, Darcy and Col.Fritzwilliam go into a battle and Darcy ends on the edge of a river in modern day where Lizzy and Jane find him. please help i think it might of been on HG. does anyone know the name of the story????
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
It reminds me a little of one of Julie C's stories, a time traveling story too, but I believe it was a colonel Fitzwilliam story rather than a Darcy story. At any rate, I believe she pulled all her stories from the various sites.
Re: Have an urgent question about ff stories, ff sites, ff authors...?
I am trying to remember the name of a story in which Darcy forces Elizabeth to become a companion to Anne. She becomes friends with Anne, then problems, lots of angst, new characters. Eventual happy ending of course. Thanks for any help.

where can i find Half Such A Sum?
I searched in the JAFF index. It used to be in HG but that site is not longer available which means that the wonderful story is lost perhaps for ever...*sob*You can always send an email to the authoress.
