Damn it.  DO NOT CELEBRATE JANE AUSTEN’S BIRTHDAY BY PUSHING SHITTY NEW ROMANCE THAT STEALS HER CHARACTERS!

I HATE JANE AUSTEN “SEQUELS”!

WRITE YOUR OWN DAMN CHARACTERS!

JUST BECAUSE THE COPYRIGHT HAS RUN OUT, DOESN’T MEAN IT’S OKAY TO STEAL OTHER AUTHORS’ WORK!

GAH!!

The worst one I ever saw?

FFUUUUUUUUUUU—

So my little 14-y-o SIL just read Mr Darcy, Vampire and because it outraged me that she read that but not Pride and Prejudice, I bought her a gorgeous copy of P&P for Christmas.  If necessary, I will go over there and make her sit through the Kiera Knightley version.

No. Just no. The Kiera Knightley version is some Bronte-ified bullshit, and IT IS NOT AUSTEN. Read Pride and Prejudice because it’s awesome, and see the long version on a snow day when there’s not enough snow to sled. Even if she waits till college, it’s not too late for Pride and Prejudice.
