It's what got me into reading books in other languages than Swedish and, by a long series of events, what lead me to a lot of my best friends (and also my ex). No, I still haven't found anything that's as good as what Austen herself wrote, but there were some stories I was excessively fond of back in the day. If twenty-something me would like them as much as teen me is another matter entirely. ;D Jane Austen fanfiction is actually what first brought me outside my own language sphere online, and I have Jane Austen and JA fan fiction to thank for a lot of my English.

Sure, I'd have loved it if Jane wrote another book with some of the P&P characters (Miss Darcy, anyone?), but I know there is no way anyone else can write like her. So I'd just get angry!
