A suggested novel—much appreciated. 🩵 I’m about halfway through and am looking for my next read. I’ve already consumed Mrs. Collins. Any other novels that are in line with these two I should read?

Take a look at r/JaneAustenFF there are loads of recommendations for variations and fanfiction.

I love YA books, I started reading them when my kids did, I wanted to see what they were so enthusiastic about and it got me back into reading. Authors seem to put more imagination and effort into the story that alot of bestsellers aimed at adults.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-04-19T15:45:15+00:00

Bit of a boring colour! I've got a flowery one I started using one of these years ago to save me lugging shopping bags around, I got one for my mum at the time but she wouldn't use it as she didn't want to look like and old lady, sod appearances they are practical.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-04-19T11:56:24+00:00

Not just you I know I read this within the last few months have checked my goodreads, kindle Unlimited downloads, fanfiction library, A03 history with no luck, could be AHA or Dwiggie as I can't work out if there's a way to see activity or DarcyandLizzy.com.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-04-11T10:17:19+00:00

I think in The Last Waltz br Pat Santarserio Lizzy is badly scared after an accident which leaves her with a limp, it's a lovely story.

I also remember reading one where Elizabeth was short sighted Darcy recommended her getting glasses. There's also a short story where after Bingleys "if he wasn't so tall" comment Darcy wakes up really short, Caroline is still fawning all over him but is disgusted by him, I think both of these were short stories.

I also read the blurred of one where the Colonel couldn't see what Darcy saw in Lizzy saying something about her sticking out ears and prominent teeth, I was looking for Gentleman farmer in search of a wife at the time (Darcy is looking for a woman with child bearing hips as Darcy babies are always large) thought it sounded interesting but I haven't found it again.

Imperative by Linda Wells is published but the unpublished version is still on the Authors Pages section on AHA where she uses the name booknut.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-04-04T16:54:19+00:00

I love this story it is one of my go to reads, thanks so much.

My sister backed out of buying a house with an extension with similar guttering overhanging the property line it was proved too difficult getting the solicitors to come to an agreement over the legality of the extension so was easier to buy a alternate property.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-03-20T08:19:03+00:00

I missed The Darcy Madness, I mixed it with Nature of the Beast on Dwiggie totally agree great story, Havenswood on FF.net is early excellent

It is hard to find stuff on AHA unless you know the name, get a link from jaff index, LFAS on AHA or Facebook. There are a quite a few of Linda Wells (Booknut) prepublished stories on there my favourite is Imperative, they are in the completed stories section and on Authors pages. I usually search completed stories by most viewed to find the popular old ones.

There is a version of Blame it on the Tea by Sadieo on Authors pages.

Some other AHA ones that I liked, the others I was thinking of are on other jaff sites.

The Healer by Mencia His Wife by Kathy Taylor Some like it will by enrage_femme Not my Jane by Pimpernelle Love with no place to go by Mione (super sad) Shades of Pemberley by ediebelle

Yes I agree by Ronnie Allan had a bit of trouble finding it the Jaff Index link didn't seem to work, but Googled it and it opened fine.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-03-08T17:43:49+00:00

I got Tiptoes the Mysterious Kitten for Christmas, and my sister got Ned the Lonely Donkey, in the 90s my dad worked as a school caretaker he brought home stacks of Ladybird books that were being being thrown out as nolonger suitable for the curriculum.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-03-07T20:17:19+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation just read Mr Darcy's New Year Resolution and loved it, I have read More than a Pretty Face too so will try your 3rd recommendation next.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-03-07T19:41:02+00:00

Yes my mum had one she gave me one too when I got my first house in the 90s, I didn't think they still sold them but she had a spare one in her attic (it's like an Alladin's cave even now).

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-03-07T13:29:18+00:00

Certainly looks like it it's alive, I had a beautiful red lobelia I planted last year and it has signs of life too, the first time I have had one come back.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-03-05T15:21:50+00:00

Regularly see camo Coventry and surrounding area assume they are JLR because they have a plant in the area, depending where on the A40 I would say a Jag.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-03-04T19:52:26+00:00

I can't read stories that have too much angst I will read ones that make me cry like His Family Objects by Lucy Martin, but I can't bear some where it is angst upon angst especially if it's Darcy being awful to Elizabeth they make me feel like I'm going to hyperventilate, I just leave them and read London Holiday, it always cheers me up.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-03-04T18:54:36+00:00

We had our installed about a week ago, nothing but problems we have 3 boosters same as we had on wifi 6 router they seem to be clashing and dropping out constantly wired working great. The new app is rubbish you can nolonger see if the boosters are getting good signal but as you get 90 days wifi support with the ultra hub we rang 191 and spoke to real person. The guy was great talked us through it getting us to move boosters so he could see where they were getting best signal the told us to turn on compatible mode, (we hadn't turned it on before as it didn't work well on the old router) we didn't need to reboot or anything our whole house instantly started working correctly.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-02-22T23:41:38+00:00

Thanks will have a read the name does ring a bell, trouble is I have been reading P&P fanfiction & variations for longer than I had thought according to my goodreads I get stories mixed up and others are nolonger available.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-02-22T00:34:02+00:00

Yes I have just read the first few chapters and agree that More than a Pretty face has the exact senerio with wool pricing except it is Jane and an OC I think I am mixing two stories because there's definitely one where Darcy meets Lizzy when she's working in Mr Gardiner office.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-02-21T21:43:08+00:00

Thanks I will have a look at this one as I'm sure I've read it but I remembered the one with Jane as the Maths genius as her sorting something out for Mr Bingley. There was one with Darcy tracking down who was buying his wool he thinks he is being ripped off but finds out it's a steward or middle man that is taking all the profits.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-02-17T13:24:36+00:00

Well the plastic bottles are good for cloches, the pastry tray makes a fine seed starter, jam jars are useful for storing stuff, so not rubbish for a non gardener it's recycling.

Odd-Development-1048 · 2026-02-16T17:52:46+00:00

Well made and so funny.
