Since 2002, the Firthness admins have been hunting down the best-of-the-best Jane Austen fanfiction on the net. (And promptly begging authors to allow us to recommend them!) We'll always be grateful to that first handful of authors who took a chance by letting us quack about their work; and continue to be honored every time a beloved author says that magic word, "yes!" We hope that you enjoy this excellent collection of work as much as we do, and further hope that you will take a moment to tell the authors how much their time and effort is appreciated. |
