Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén

I am so amused with this P&P modern remake. It is really really funny.. but so long
I am still reading at it.. I'll post back when I am done.
too bad some of the links are unreachable..
perhaps a different set-up would work better.. I could just imagine Elizabeth & Darcy 'meetup' in Elizabeth's town..and admiring a VanGogh next Friday or meeting over a dutch group cocktail/ dinner party. Of course Darcy will need to become a member of Elizabeth's 'meetup' private group first.

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén

Hi Elizabeth! Glad you're enjoying Belén's story. Could you tell me which links don't work, in order to fix them.

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén

This is the only modern story I've read so far. I never thought I would enjoy modernized JA stories, but enjoyed Belén's other stories so much I tried it. I, too, enjoyed this very much - enough to decide that once I run out of Regency stories to read (if that ever happens lol), I'll go back over the list and try some other modern stories.

I had a problem with it in only one way... I found the "look" of the characters in my imagination was totally different than while reading a Regency story (usually from the A&E version), and I'm not used to that at all while reading P&P FF. But eventually I got over it and thought this story was great.

It actually makes absolutely no sense for me to shun modern stories since I fell in love with modern movies based on JA's stories almost every time I've seen them - usually realizing only on a second or third viewing that it was based on a JA novel.

..
Just wanted to ad that I am sure that Elizabeth does not like salsa and therefore she would never join that group..

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén

Wendi,
all the modern stories that you will find here, are highly superior to many a regency story I have read. Rennee's and Andy's are particularly well written and engaging. While RO's is a very sexy intake, Julie's is enchantingly 60's. Every time I hear The Beatles I think of Julie's beautiful Modern "I Saw her Standing There" and I have longed to visit RO's home country and see 'Elizabeth' riding her bike to work ever since I read Renee's "And Very impolitic Too." Rush over to their pages and enjoy.

Thank you, Malena, for your sweet compliments. And I'll happily show you around on the backseat of my bike whenever you'll decide to make a European trip.

Two other moderns I'd like to recommend are: Tracey's Action and Reaction and Ayden's Ebb and Flow. Oh, and of course, Rachael's What We Did on Our Holidays.

Enjoy!

Re: Obstacles to Overcome by Belén

Thanks wendi!

I'm glad you were able to overcome your prejudice and give modern a chance! There are excelent modern sotries out there and It would be a pity if you missed them.

Hugs
