It's one of the things that differentiates these published works from the typical fan-fiction one finds on the internet. <br /><br />I used to love writing fanfic when I was a teenager because the exposition was taken care of for me, leaving me free to delve into the plot or story I wanted to take the characters on without having to reintroduce them to the world. It was understood that anyone choosing to read a Forever Knight story set in the 1920's already knew all about the protagonist's vampiric origins. <br /><br />However, with a published version I believe the opposite is true. You can't hope to reach the whole of modern readers by assuming everyone has read P&P. On the contrary, I believe it's best to assume that no one has read it! That way, you appeal to a wider audience--Regency enthusiasts and modern horror fans alike.<br /><br />And, really, do any Austen fans ever tired of reading excerpts from P&P? I should think not, or the whole of the Austen Authors would be out of a job!A_Poor_Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380161167121973653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588045351427975068.post-41723819227851064372012-10-10T01:18:10.511-04:002012-10-10T01:18:10.511-04:00Well said!! :)Well said!! :)kaewinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12229678438948241191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588045351427975068.post-4681704496580383402012-10-09T21:11:17.461-04:002012-10-09T21:11:17.461-04:00Thanks, Anna!

I also liked the way that Colette reworked Darcy's letter to Elizabeth post-huntsford.
