abuseYour story made me almost believe in love again.

I just read all of it today and I just wanted to congratulate you for a job well done. I'm just so happy that you decided to finish this story.

Very original, a fitting alternate/extended story to Austen's classic work. I loved all the new characters - the Sutton kids, Hetty, Lord Tyndale, I love all of them. Felt as if I was really reading a novel because your story actually has interesting subplots. Very engaging!

Happy endings are always fulfilling. Thanks for sharing this version with us! Kudos! :)

abuseHello :)

I have only read about half way throgh your story but I must sya that it is very well done. It's interesting and never falters to keep the reader moving. It's set out well and you can read fast while also enjoying the full ness of the story nad the great charachterization. your portrayal of Elizabeths charachter is very different form my view of her but I always enjoy seeing how other people see her and the back drop of this plot line is birlliant.


Only one tiny little criticism, at the end of chapter 12 where Lady Arabella dyes you give her 2 middle names and name her with her title excetera. I just think that it would be much more touching and sensitive for Lizzie to refer to her as just Arabella, I understand where your coming fomr when using her full name but I don't think it quite works as quite a few people do it.

But other than that your writing is very accomplished, keep going and always iam to iprove and you'll be extremely good :) An x

abuseTalk about heart wrenching but definitely had its light hearted moments. I was cracking up reading about Darcy's freak out by the wall. Everything was from so left field, but really a wonderful story despite the heartache and bitchiness!

abuseAbsolutlely loved the references to Bronte (Adele) and Mansfield Park (Priscilla marrying her cousin) and Sense and Sensibility (walk in the rain) Great job; one criticism: TOO MANY CHARACTERS!

abuseThat is probably one of the best final paragraphs I have ever read. I truly enjoyed this story and am so glad you finished it for us. Each character seemed unique and not Mary Sue-ish and you captured the voice of a more subdued Elizabeth Bennet perfectly. I hope you will write more stories for fanfiction, specifically Jane Austen. The only advice I can give you would be to have a beta because sometimes your sentence structure gets in the way of your amazing story. Just something to think about for next time. Thank you for sharing this wonderful work with us!

abuseI cannot really say whether there is Irish humour Scottish prudence or English sincerity in the story, for I do not exactly know what it is. What I dare say though is that I enjoyed reading it. Sometimes with a smile on my face or a little chuckle, and sometimes close to tears. Thank You for sharing!
