[(Anonymous)]

Didn't they have a double wedding? Do Jane and Bingley do the deed in the carriage or something?

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe they mean fanfiction that veers off from canon more and has Jane and Bingley marry earlier or something?

[(Anonymous)]

It says fanfiction in the secret.

[(Anonymous)]

Jane Bennet wouldn't do such a thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, get over yourself. It's effing fanfiction.

Stop being such a prude.

[(Anonymous)]

Wouldn't Lydia beat them both? Or does that not bother you? /nosy

I'm pleased as punch to see a Pride and Prejudice secret. :)

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, it doesn't bother me. Only Jane vs Elizabeth and only in fanfic...

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, thanks for replying. I'd think Elizabeth would be the more sexually assertive one myself, but I suppose you never know?

[silvereriena]

I couldn't read the words on Kitty's shoes, so I thought that said hatesex and that you were somehow into Lizzie/Jane hatesex. Whoops.

As anon above said, they did have a double wedding, so they couldn't have had sex that far apart in time from each other. Is this just a common trope in P&P fic?

[tree_and_leaf]

There's nothing in book canon to say that, though. Unless you're specifically writing fic for the minseries,* the double wedding is just fanon.

* I can't remember how the various films have treated this.

Secret 2 - Pride and Prejudice, fanfiction

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is an image from the 1995 TV miniseries "Pride and Prejudice". It shows five women dressed up in pastel- and light-colored old-fashioned dresses sitting on a slope in what seems to be a large garden. They all have light skin and long brown hair (one of them dark blond, though) done up in buns and with curls.]

I really hate it in Pride and Prejudice fanfictions when Jane has sex before Lizzy.

Secret Because: Really, self? Of all the things to be annoyed by?

[(Anonymous)]

I think my copy of that book must have been missing the sex scene.

[(Anonymous)]

OP said "Pride and Prejudice fanfictions" specifically, anon. It's clear the secret doesn't refer to canon.

[(Anonymous)]

One would think that was clear.

[(Anonymous)]

Jane Bennet wouldn't do such a thing. Neither would Elizabeth Bennet.

[(Anonymous)]

Julia Sawahla looks 100x more attractive in this still then she did at any point in the series.

1995 Pride and Prejudice miniseries! My favourite adaptation of anything, ever! I'm sad most people just know the one with Keira Knightley, I didn't enjoy that half as much as the 1995 one. That's all I have to say about this secret. I am an unabashed Colin Firth fangirl.

[(Anonymous)]

??? B-but... almost everyone knows the 1995 mini-series. It's rare when you can even say you like the 2005 one without people jumping on you about how "the 1995 one is so much better".

[badass_tiger]

Oh really? We may run in different circles. I usually have to encourage people to watch it to get somebody to talk about it to and I know quite a few classics fans.

[(Anonymous)]

You're speaking of most people your age, I assume.

[badass_tiger]

Eh, I guess so. I live in a non-English-speaking country so most fellow fans I meet are on the 'net and I don't really know how old they are. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say they're all in their early to mid-20s.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm going to join you in this corner. I adore this version of P&P - definitely kept more the tone of the book, and there were some really jarring moments in the Keira Knightley one that I just couldn't get past.

The BBC one is perfection. I especially love the hilariously mortifying (for both of them) moment when Darcy and Elizabeth meet in the gardens at Pemberley.

[badass_tiger]

Yay, a friend! I admit that Keira Knightley is not really a bad Elizabeth, she certainly has the eyes imo, but the 1995 one was definitely better in every way. My only regret about the miniseries is they didn't add the line at the end where Lizzie's father, after he talks to Lizzie about her decision to marry Lizzie, says, 'And if any young men come for Kitty or Mary, send them in for I'm feeling quite at leisure,' which was one of my favourite moments ever. But everything else was pretty perfect, right down to the actor choices.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh I much prefer the 1995 version and didn't care for the one with Keira Knightley at all. I thought the 1995 one was truer to Austen's tone.
