Uhh this sounds interesting!

I'm now so hesitant when it comes to Austen derived stories (be it from her life or her novels) because I've been burned so many times. There's some terrible stuff out there... And yet my curiosity (and hopefulness) usually ends up getting the better of me and I end up reading anyway.

This is promising!

I can totally understand! The genre is so large and there's a lot of really crappy novels in there. And of course tastes differ.

There's this fun book called 'Jane Austen made me do it' which has stories by 22 authors from the Austen-inspired genre. It's a good book to pick up to get to know which authors appeal to you and you won't have to read a whole book which doesn't suit you after all. I wrote a review about this one a while ago here: http://birdienl.livejournal.com/89009.html
