thoughts spurred by new BBC Emma!

[lettered]

One day, I'd like to post about these things:

1) The lecture I heard once on how Emma is a maturation of Sense and Sensibility.
2) The Gwenyth Paltrow Emma versus the Kate Beckinsale one (*waves flag for latter*)
3) How girls in period costume with modern accoutrement make me feel funny (a la here:
)
4) Whether Romola Garai looks like Katee Sackhoff, a la the great Connor // Jackson Browne debate.
5) How I miss good old days at Republic of Pemberley.
6) Me and Jane Austen! In particular: Emma
7) My hopes for the new BBC Emma, inspired via this picspam!

I AM TOTALLY NOT PULLING UR LEG. Despite my use of capslock. I played a lot on RoP, but mostly I played with Brandon porn I mean fic because actually there wasn't that much porn. Did you ever read Barbara's fics? Shit, now I can't remember what they were called. Me and a few others (handle was Joyce Elizabeth [my name is Joy]) I think sorta kinda made it why they stopped allowing anything fun on BoI. ...I don't remember anyone else college age from the S&S board, but I only remember I very few people from those halcyon days anyway.

AR, and ET's writing, added a lot to the character. I still think Austen's character is a romantic at heart (HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER AT FIRST SIGHT) but S&S1's Brandon is a bore. AR's Brandon played music and POLISHED HIS GUNS and said, "Give me an occupation or I shall go mad, Miss Dashwood."

*faints*

It's been months since I've read Col. Brandon porn, but there was one I liked that had the Colonel's former mistress and a sword involved? I dunno. It's been a while. And of course, wedding night fics are always a win-win. :)
