I love Pride and Prejudice fanfiction otherwise known as Austenesque fiction or, as I prefer to call it Pride and Prejudice inspired fiction because fanfiction implies (at least to me) that the story is available to read for free and there are many Pride and Prejudice fiction authors who are making a good living from their writing. Austenesque also doesn’t seem accurate enough to me because Austenesque included works inspired by all of Jane Austen’s classic novels. Because I love it so much, I’ve decided to start reviewing Pride and Prejudice inspired fiction.
My criteria will be:
It has to be Pride and Prejudice inspired fiction (duh!)
It has to fall into one of these categories:
a) paranormal
b) fantasy
d) science fiction
d) mystery
e) genderswapped
f) modern retelling
because those are the categories of Pride and Prejudice inspired fiction that I most enjoy reading.
Even with those criteria which excludes many, many Pride and Prejudice inspired fiction, there are still a lot of books to read. Last time I counted, there were well over three hundred Pride and Prejudice inspired novels/novellas/short stories. I calculate that will give me over a hundred books to read and review.
I’ll be reviewing Pride and Prejudice inspired fiction regularly or as regularly as I can, sometimes life and writing gets in the way.
