Ch. 38 of TTLBLAH is up

Yes, it's been a while, I know. But I'm just having some trouble getting to where I want to with the story. It's soon finished, and it's kind of sad to see a story finished in a way, though very satisfactory when it's at last done. I really do hope I have the time to finish this story before my second child is born... :P

Sneak Peak:
Chapter 38: Tête-à-tête with Dad

Thursday went by in a lazy fashion. Elizabeth was jetlagged and took refuge under a large oak tree in the garden with a book. William was left to himself and decided to contact Peter regarding the ball and Elizabeth's idea about how to get back at Caroline. Peter sounded excited over the idea and was eager to get started. Peter already had a person in mind that could infiltrate and get Caroline to spill her guts if only they could get her into the ball. William was fairly sure that wouldn't be a problem.
"I need to speak with you after breakfast," Mr Darcy said to his son on Friday morning. William thought it just as well to have it over with. They had a lot to talk about. He had some great ideas for the company, but he guessed his father wanted to talk about other things.
"I'm just going to drop Lizzie off at the Bingleys, after that I'll be all yours," William answered. Elizabeth was going to have lunch with her sister and Mrs Bingley and then hit the town to find something to wear to the ball. William was meeting her for dinner and a movie later that afternoon.

Ch. 37 of TTLBLAH is up

So utterly delayed, once more. I apologise most ardently to my dear readers! But after that review I kind of lost what little inspiration I had, and then I thought the chapter wasn't good enough... Oh well. It will have to do.

Sneak peak: 

Chapter 37: Surprise, Surprise

Elizabeth was not a boats person and she regarded the old boat with the large swan in the back sceptically. It really didn't look that safe.
William smiled reassuringly. "This boat has been in the service of the Boston citizens since 1877."
"That was what I was afraid of," she said.
"It's quite sturdy," William promised and held out his hand. "Would you please get your ass down here?" As there was a line starting forming behind her, Elizabeth really didn't have any choice but to reluctantly climb down into the boat. She immediately sat down and peered over the side.

I will try my best to update more frequently, but I'm not making any more promises I cannot keep.

Does Col. Fitzwilliam have a first name?

I got a very interesting review on The Thin Line. The reader was a bit upset with my writing. Especially that I had named Fitzwilliam Peter and not Richard which she (or he) said is his name. I have now read through the chapters where he is figuring and  I cannot for the life of me find any reference to the name Richard. So I googled. Nope. He doens't seem to have a given name, but, is frequently named Richard in fanfiction. So there. I can name him Peter if I want. Ha! The reason I have named him Peter is because of the character he is in Much Ado, i.e Prince Pedro.

The reader had a lot of other points on where she (or he) didn't get my fiction. But that's okay. Most of it I can claim artisitc freedom of. I mean just because Georgiana was 15 or more years younger than Darcy in the original, she doesn't have to be that young in my fanfic, right?

If you want to read the review in whole, please visit  The Thin Line and click on reviews. I did write the reader a nice reply, since the reader prefered to be anonymous I had to write a review myself. :P

Ch. 36 of TTLBLAH is up

It's a bit short, I know, but I wanted it up before going on Christmas Holiday! Hope it's to your liking, though

Sneak Peak:
Chapter 36: Cheesy Comments and a Nasty Witch
He showed Elizabeth all his favourite spots in the garden, or park as she preferred to call it. He guessed she was right. It was too large to be called a garden. In fact, they had two gardeners that took care of it all.

"I wonder how Jane's doing," Elizabeth said as they sat down on the little dock on the beach, which was his favourite place of them all. He had been coming here since the dock had been built. To just get away for a moment or two and breathe in the salty air of the ocean.

"I'm sure she's just fine," William assured her. Even if Mr Bingley had been blind when it came to Caroline, he was sure both he and his wife would be hospitable enough to welcoming Jane into their home. He was sure Charles had told them just how wrong Caroline had been about Jane.

"I just hope Caroline hasn't been feeding them lies about my sister."

"Don't worry. Charlie has been there the whole time. In this case I really do hope that they listen to him, and not to her. I'm sure they think highly enough of their son not to think he'd stay with someone who had been cheating on him."

Chapter 35 of TTLBLAH is up

Yeah, so it took me a while, again. Sorry. Have started a new story, again, and you know how it is with new stories. They kind of demands your attention and you feel you have to write just to get to know what will happen. Even if you are the one writing it, the story has its own life. At least mine does. They never turn out exactly the way I have planned, really.

Sneak peak:
Chapter 35: A Home away from Home?
William felt proud as Elizabeth admired his childhood, well part of it anyway, home. His mother had decorated it with an eclectic mix of old and new. They would only be staying there for a couple of nights, then retrench to his apartment down town. There were only so much of his parents he could take. A couple of nights under their roof were sufficient enough to make him feel like five again. Altough it was nice to be pampered from time to time, it could be too much.

I Remember Love is completed

It nearly took me forever, but now it is done. I have left Tom and Jane for this time around, but will surely visit them again in the future.

Chapter 45: In which they Experience the Miracle of Life
 Jane woke up with a delicious feeling of contentment early the next morning. She had not felt so completely calm and care free for a very long time. She thought she would have felt different. So much had change in the last 24 hours. She was no longer in danger of dying an old maid, but a married woman. The epithet 'maid' did most definitely not apply to her anymore. She felt herself colour as she thought back on the night.

No, I'm not Dead

I'm so so sorry for not updating my fics. Life has gotten in the way once again, and I have had a really tough time with the current chapter in The Thin Line. The main problem is to do the research really. I've never been to Boston or even to the States. Luckily I've been to England a couple of times, but since I'm mainly writing about a imaginary town it's easier than a real one. Thank God for Google I say! :P

I hope you guys bare with me though. I will finish the chapter soon. And my other fics, too. Am nearly done with I remember love, I'm just unwilling to let it go...
