Sure, gals! Soon as our lovely hostess comes back!!!Thanks fot the comment!!!

Well, here I am and Malena's new chapter of ANS has just been posted!

Oh my gosh, it's so good. Can't get enough of this gem, lovely woman! It's clever, it's witty and so well-written.

R~ <- still

Oh, I had been waiting for this and you did not disappoint! What a great post. I loved Elizabeth in Bingley's skin, saying all the things we wished he had said in canon. I also enjoyed the delicious agony of Darcy's wet dream--oh, Elizabeth...no, you're morphing into Bingley. Oh, the humanity!

That was great chapter. So Caroline gets her comeuppance early. Ha, well she definitely deserved it. Now hows Darcy going to win over Elizabeth? Eww! and what a nightmare it was.

Talk about fiction following life. Or life following fiction. When I saw this chapter on AHA and then--poof!!--it was gone, well, I didn't want to say anything . . . but it scared me just a little for my sanity. Or, like I had my own naughty star making mischief.

So funny, both the chapter and the abrupt disappearance. But so good to see it back.

I loved the way Elizabeth gets to tell Caroline off and better yet, banish her. Darcy noticing all the little changes in Bingley's behavior--but seeing Bingley curl his hair like a woman just after Darcy has dreamed about having sex with Bingley must make him wonder about his (Darcy's) own secret desires?

Well, ok, it wasn't Bingley when Darcy started the act in his dream but like the momentary disappearance of this chapter, seeing it become Bingley had to be insanely disconcerting.

My favorite part is "Bingley" telling Darcy that Elizabeth hates him and Darcy replying, no matter, I had no intention of offering for her anyway. Will Elizabeth--the real one--start to change her mind about Darcy soon? Or, will she be stuck in the wrong body until she does? I love this story--insanely--and can't wait to see what happens next.
More, plese!

I love how Darcy's subconcious knows the truth. Elizabeth is definately play dirty pool with Caroline but oh she couldn't use it on a better person.

How long until Darcy finds out the truth. Malena more please soon please.

Lizzy Bennet makes a fantastic Bingley! I love her treatment of Caroline and also that Darcy has let her know about Wickham. Excellent chapter!

Great chapter, Malena! Can't wait for the next chapter!

I'm thrilled to announce that chapter 10 has just been posted on Malena's pages. Enjoy!

Love the updates, poor Jane and Darcy know not that they are next to their beloved, while Bingley must be enjoying himself and Lizzy learn to rely on Darcy for gentleman business.
I hope Lizzy could horseride in this story, what if Darcy propose they to ride to London? but I look forward to a journey in the carriage.
Will Darcy catches Bingley in a night dress as he cathed him with ribbons in his hair?

Ah, now this is an extremely interesting turn of affairs in a story that abounds in them.

Darcy and Bingley are to close Netherfield and quit it--just as in canon when poor Jane's heart broke for Bingley's departure. Broke silently but no less painfully. Except that this time when Darcy and Bingley go--it's Darcy and Elizabeth.

And Elizabeth is beginning to enjoy her sojourn in Bingley's skin--after all, it is a man's world, and how fortunate for a woman to be able to experience it from a man's vantage point. If Elizabeth starts to fall for Darcy AS Bingley, I expect that Darcy is going to push HIM away, since poor Darcy is already doubting his own sexual identity when it comes to his involuntary attraction to Elizabeth in Bingley's skin.

What will happen to Bingley and Jane back at Longbourn? It must be torture for him to know that in Elizabeth's skin, he can touch Jane in all manner of ways--and none of them quite like he wants to, as a suitor--as a man. You also mentioned something about the OTHER suitors who would beset "Elizabeth" at Longbourn in the absence of the two gentlemen from Netherfield? Am I reading too much into that, or will there be unwelcome callers? Redcoats, maybe?

I can hardly wait for more. Love this story!

I am enjoying this story so much. I have no idea what;s going to happen and I like it that way. My favorite part was Darcy catching Bingley with curling papers in his hair...hysterically fun! Keep up the good work, Malena!

Love how Elizabeth has become more comfortable in Bingley’s shoes. But does she not see the problems with her avoiding Jane. And Darcy having those uncomfortable feelings for the young lad! Love it!
Will Elizabeth convince Darcy to return to Netherfield, possibly with Georgiana?
Will Jane be having those feelings towards Bingley/Elizabeth?

Can’t wait for more

Darcy is having conflicting emotion because Elizabeth/Bingley has acted oddly. Bingley/Lizzy did not take brandy and confess silly attractions to Jane. Plus, I doubt Jane would question her attraction toward her sister, whom she love wholeheartedly. Lesbian attraction is one thing, but incest (forgive me for using this vile word) is another. Jane may be confuse over Bingley/Lizzy actions, but I'm sure she would accept whatever Bingley/Lizzy's explanation.
Anyway, I think we're due an update soon, please Malena

I was so happy to see another chapter. Elizabeth gets teary because he is leaving her and she will be alone.
What will Bingley say if she leaves and goes with Darcy. This will be fun

Chapter 11 is up, my dears. Enjoy!

Malena, Very funny chapter, poor Bingley not knowing how to respond to everybody. What does Darcy's arrival mean, can't wait to find out. Thanks Irene

Must acknowledge a typo. Not my dear beta´s fault. It was an addition I made at the last moment. Vowed read bowed.
My apologies
Male

Male, I love this story!

This was perhaps the funniest chapter yet. I was howling so loudly with laughter that several people looked in on me. So funny. . .

And, now Bingley and Darcy, alone again. Oh, so many possibilities--as always, I can hardly wait.

Thank you Lacy and Irene.
It took me a lot of thinking to come with all this. And I had a little help from some friends

I see what you mean about the suitors, though I would never counted Mr Collin or Wickham, but off course they are suitors - detestable ones. Perhaps Bingley could do something about Wickham (a kick down there would be nice)

I really enjoy reading both of your stories, even if I'm lazy with commenting at times.
I wonder how things are going to unfolds and what 'lessons' would Elizabeth & Bingley learn before the transformation undo itself.

is Bingley going to enjoy herself socializing in London, dancing alway with ladies at balls, enjoying the theater, a game of foils or boxing
wiling Elizabeth visit Lady Catherine and Hunsford parsonage?

I'm sure everyone will think it funny, but please do not have Darcy kiss Elizabeth you know what I mean, that dream things was quite gross

hu hu hu...


I want more!

Hi Malena,

I truly love this bodyswap story!!!

I hope you post again real soon!

Bien

Hi Malena. I love this story and am eagerly awaiting your next post. Can you give us a hint of when it might be?

Hugs.

A little later than planned, but... here you go, ladies and gents, not one but two chapters of "A Naughty Star"!

Malena, Everyone trying to explain to Darcy,only adds to the confusion. Brilliant writing. Glad RL is treating you kindly irene

This story continues to be great--laugh out loud funny, but more than that. It's a well-thought out story with the characters behaving so in-character, given these totally out-of-character situations.

Excellent use of canon dialogue--you made it fit perfectly. I am enjoying this immensely.

Malena, this crazy story is so much fun! I loved it when Darcy offered to get Mrs. Bennet to help Elizabeth/Bingley. Thanks for the two chappies. Loved 'em!

My favorite part was probably this because it really started the ball rolling on false impressions:

I laughed SO hared I thought I'd pee myself. It was brilliant!

Thank you dear readers, for your kind words. I am thrilled with the general acceptance of the story.
Predictions are all very good. Lacy in particular has helped with her clever input.
Will Bingley in the flesh of Elizabeth be seduced by Mr Darcy? Will Jane marry her own sister?
For now, let us see how an addition to this merry pair may change the course of the affairs dramatically
But there is no need to pine for more.Mrs Darcy will soon post a new chapter for your enjoyment.

Rush over to dear Malena's pages, my dears. Two magnificent chapters are awaiting you!

I have to say Malena, that these two chapters were some what comical:

Poor E having to indure the fun brawl between the cousins. Makes them seem human, but of course she wouldn't know that.

And to wake up incased in Darcy's embrace - oh what I wouldn't give.

At least she still Bingley. The only thing I could think of that would be more mortifying to her would be if she were to wake up as Elizabeth again.

Loves the chapters
teb

Oh, my God, those scenes were such fun!!!!

Elizabeth is gaining a first hand experience of men with the Colonel and Darcy. Hopefully it will help her in the future. These two chapters were real eye openers More please irene

What torture, when will it end?
What will happen in London I wonder and what would Darcy reaction to be when he wakes up? What did Darcy think was happening to Charles? Will he recollect his conversation with Elizabeth and guess something is wrong? I wonder why Elizabeth did not spoke of Jane, after all she knew Bingley was in love with Jane.
How, and when will Elizabeth let Darcy knows that she is not really Charles, will she get drunk at some point?
Anyway, please update again soon.

Funniest chapters yet! If Elizabeth had been raised with brothers this would not have appeared so shocking to her I suppose. In future if Elizabeth(female) gets together with Darcy it will be interesting to see how she feels knowing all she has seen now. Loved Darcy's desription of his angel!

Sorry, I lost my train of thought for a moment--something about the image of being sandwiched between the Colonel and Darcy is profoundly distracting. . .

LOL. Anything can happen. But I must say, you have captured the whole idea in your last question. Will he , indeed?

haha im lovin this story more and more...
i really hope you'd finish this soon, i just cant bear waiting for new chapters...

thanks malena!

I'm really enjoying your stories Malena, you have such great humor in them. And this Naughty star really is a hoot! Elizabeth as Bingley in a small bed between Darcy and the Colonel!! Such fun. I can't wait for the next stop at the nearest inn... lol. Please post another chapter soon.

Thank you both Apples and Reske,
The next chapter is being polished and will be sent for betaing over the week end. But my poor beta does have a real life, unlike me, you know, and we will have to wait patiently for her to have a go at it before she sits in front of the computer to correct my lousy grammar.
