Pride & Prejudice (2005) FAN Blog

Looking for something to read as the festive season winds to a close? Well turn off the TV and warm your heart with Christmas themed reads that will satisfy the Jane Austen, Pride & Prejudice fan who can appreciate a good retelling or variation inspired by her work. The one thing that we can all probably agree on is that reading a Holiday romance around this time of year makes everything feel just a little bit more magical.   There’s just something that makes us want to curl up somewhere cozy with a familiar, feel-good story.   Even though it may be cliché, the thought of sitting by a fireplace, reading nook, or getting into bed early to settle down with a new tome is a comforting and wonderful experience.   Nothing quite celebrates the feeling of the season like an engaging and utterly charming book.

 by   Saucy Salad My name is Natasha …and I’m a Jane Austen Fan Fiction addict!! !  For those of you who are unfamiliar with this kind of fandom, I’ll provide a brief description. JAFF is a sub-genre inspired by the original narratives of  Jane Austen 's  (1775-1817) beloved novels.  JAFF novels run the gamut of numerous sub-categories. The varieties are classified according to the story’s main theme, which include: prequels , sequels , re-tellings , variations , continuations , mash-ups , paranormal , bio-fics , mysteries , anthologies , young adult , and moderns .  It is because Jane Austen left her characters' lives to continue in our imaginations that we want them to.  Each new imagining is just that, a conception of what those lives might be as envisioned by other writers.  The timelessness of Austen’s work is a marvelous thing.  Of course, Jane Austen’s writing is unparalleled, but these explorations are nonetheless compelli...
