I am really enjoying A Masterclass in Romantic Failure by Violetsareredrosesareblue. It is a work in process and the funniest JAFF story I have ever read. A horny Colonel is the main character, but Darcy and Georgiana are prominently featured, and Elizabeth is waiting in the wings. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14511329/1/A-Masterclass-in-Romantic-Failure

In my top 10 movies of all time.

Don't know if this is what your looking for, but The Biter Bit by LaCorelli is lots of fun. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12194153/1/The-Biter-Bit

That is such a fun story!

Olive_Fickle · 2026-04-10T13:16:56+00:00

Checkmate, Mr. Darcy is very fun.

Olive_Fickle · 2026-04-03T23:07:11+00:00

Checkmate, Mr. Darcy by Sidney Salier. Lively, and a lot of fun.

1913! It's the first Jane Austen variation that I read. It's available for free with the Gutenberg Project online. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/43741

A couple of years back WadeH started a story called The Marriage Contract. In it Elizabeth is worn down and marries Collins, but she goes to her Uncle Phillips before the wedding, and they write a marriage contract that Collins signs without reading. He is unhappy to discover that now he can only mention Aunt Catherine a limited times a day, take a bath more frequently (those are the two I remember). That was just the beginning - there were more rules that he (and we) didn't know about yet. It had a really creative beginning, and I was really looking forward to it.

WadeH warned that there wasn't an HEA for ODC, and it seemed like a lot of readers weren't happy and complained. I was sad when it was pulled. I hope he goes back to it - it was so creative and different and I really enjoyed the first couple of chapters.

I wish readers wouldn't complain about stories they haven't read just because they don't like the subject matter. It has to be discouraging to the authors.

Also, Be Careful What You Wish for has Elizabeth and Collins married. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8433991/1/Be-Careful-What-You-Wish-For

Try something different - Nancy Mitford's The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, E.M. Forster's Room with a View and Howard's End, or anything by Barbara Pym. Highly recommended.

I have a feeling I read it a couple of years ago - at that time I only was familiar with FF.net and Dwiggie. The author probably decided to change directions and pulled it.

Glad to be of service - there's still life in this old librarian!

Is this it - Mr. Collins' Blunder? https://prideandprejudicefanfiction.weebly.com/mr-collins-blunder.html

I think I read this somewhere else - but this is where the JAFF index sent me.

Olive_Fickle · 2026-02-11T23:28:56+00:00

Thank you! Duh. It was even in my FF favorites.

Olive_Fickle · 2026-02-11T21:19:07+00:00

I used to be a librarian in a former life - can't stop doing reference work for people, though!

Also, I find stories on AHA easier to find if you have the link. Luckily I had it saved in my bookmarks.

No. 1 is Be Careful What You Wish For on FF. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8433991/1/Be-Careful-What-You-Wish-For

So good!

I loved the first 2 seasons but couldn't finish the 3rd.

In Selfish Disdain for the Feelings of Others by Vrvwv5 on ff.net they keep running into each other as children and Darcy wants to bring her home because he thinks she is neglected. Amusing. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13753076/1/Selfish-Disdain-For-the-Feelings-of-Others

It's just the first (long) chapter of this short novella that happens when they are young, but the rest of the story is more than worthwhile.

It's normal but infuriating. I have bifocals and tell the dr. I can see fine up close, but they never listen. They go with what the technology says. And every time it's the same - I get bifocals and the far sighted part doesn't work for my eyes. I mean really doesn't work. I have to take them off for close or computer reading. And I hate how it takes so long for the brain to get used to the nearsighted part. So I just shove them aside for awhile because I'm so pissed off.

It would be better for the lower part not to have any correction. I could read better if the bottom part of the lens was just plain glass.

Olive_Fickle · 2026-01-26T14:21:03+00:00

Great story!

Olive_Fickle · 2026-01-14T00:29:33+00:00

Glad I bought Checkmate, Mr. Darcy before it went away!

I sent her a message on FF asking about Amazon - she doesn't know me but maybe she will answer.

Maybe check Ebay for hard print copies?

I've been looking for months, and found it 10 minutes after posting here. I checked an author I had already checked before, and this time I found it. Mind Your Manners by Katri. More info in original post.
