I have given Emma Approved four episodes. I will continue to give it more episodes, because it definitely succeeds at being entertaining (and Harriet is adorkable)...but I’m not so sure about its successfulness as an adaptation ( Read more... )

One of the glorious things about Yuletide is that it shows me entertaining things I have not seen before, such as this: The Lizzie Borden Diaries!

I guess that should really be Diary, singular, because it’s just one video. It’s kind of hilarious, in a dark and slightly gory sort of way ( Read more... )

Via ladyherenya: Emma Approved has started blogging! Eeeee, I am so excited for this Emma adaptation, I cannot wait for the vlogs to begin. IS IT OCTOBER YET?

Oh LJ, I have so much to tell you!! For I have returned from my Canadian sojourn! In which sojourn I ate walleye and bass and a lake trout, the second lake trout that my dad caught in his life, for normally they hide in the watery depths. It was delicious ( Read more... )

I haven’t given up on Welcome to Sanditon, exactly, but I think the show is designed to demand multimedia interaction in a way that the Lizzie Bennet Diaries didn’t, which has sapped a lot of my interest. I still watch the videos when I remember to, but I’m not waiting for them like I did for LBD ( Read more... )

You guys you guys! Welcome to Sanditon, the not-exactly-a-sequel series for the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, started today. Apparently it's not meant to finish Jane Austen's story but to explore the world of Sanditon, which could either be really fun or ultimately very frustrating, if all that exploration never acquires any kind of plot ( Read more... )

My rarewomen fics! As aforementioned, I didn’t manage to finish my assignment: I just wasn’t feeling the prompt and I figured someone else would give her a better story. But! I wrote three treats to expiate my guilt.

First, Requiem, a Les Mis story about Eponine and Cosette for anomilygrace: a canon AU where Marius dies instead of Eponine, and Eponine, pushed by a ( Read more... )

I wrote 2000 words on my postcolonial theory paper, which I believe means I'm halfway done - it's supposed to be 15-20 pages, double-spaced, which means at least 16 to make it look like I care. This is great! Until today my basic plan for this paper involved staring at the page until words began to swarm hallucinatorily before my eyes and drip onto ( Read more... )

The one thing I was sorry didn't happen in the Lizzie Bennet Diaries was that Mary never showed up again. I wanted her to come back and be there for her BFF Lydia! So...here you go.

It's so lovely here, I'm sitting at the foot of my bed (it has a footboard as well as a headboard, very useful) so I can sit right by the open window and enjoy the gentle breeze. Of course, it is chilly enough that I need a blanket, but hey, we all make sacrifices.

I'm trying to write a Lizzie Bennet Diaries story about Mary supporting Lydia ( Read more... )
