Hi, All! Shameless plug: I'm up at Austen Variations with the next installment of the Prelude to Pemberley stories -- scenes written by different Austen Variation authors to examine Georgiana, Darcy, Wickham, Mrs. Younge, and the Bennets before the start of P&P.

So, if you're looking for some vignettes to help you on your way to the Chawton library level, check out P&P Prelude to Pemberley!
