This month in England, Jane Austen-themed parades, parties and exhibits marking the authors’s semiquincentennial will culminate in the Yuletide Jane Austen Birthday Ball in Bath. Here's how her most ardent fans, known as Janeites, plan to celebrate her birthday: nyti.ms/4ppNg5p

Rudyard Kipling had a story- The Janeites, about officers in the FWW having a Jane Austen fan club.

Kipling’s story about the Janeites has led to persistent rumors of a huge cult of Austen fans in the WW1 trenches, and that’s probably an exaggeration, but she definitely wasn’t seen in anything like the very gendered terms she is now, which is find pretty interesting.

New essay I will almost surely not write:

Many MANY Janeites (Austen fans) are lore-based fans, hence the love of Georgette Heyer as opposed to the 18th century women novelists Austen cites in her fiction.
What I hate about "Lore"-based fandom is that it's almost at odds with enjoying the stories. What's the power scale? What's the magic system? What's the backstory of the one watch captain we saw in one paragraph? A sense of background can lend depth, but at the end of the day, the wiki kills story.
What the author appears to mean is "Narnia does not lend itself to Wookieepedia-fication."

You know what, I take all my criticisms of Narnian worldbuilding back. If it annoys pedants online then make it LESS coherent, not more. Narnia is not Middle-earth! It's doing a different thing!

Och jag som vill endast prata on The Other Bennet sister och om hur många tropes från austenverse gör serien helt oemotståndlig för janeites.
Jag har varit utomlands i en vecka och har tittat på vad som diskuterades under tiden.

Har jag fattat rätt: barnen i skolan måste äta kött varje dag och spela brännboll är obligatoriskt?

Believe it, Janeites: 'The Other Bennet Sister' is extremely good fun.
'The Other Bennet Sister' Is the Perfect Spring Rom-Com
This light yet thoughtful 'Pride and Prejudice' riff is bound to delight Austen lovers and anyone in 'Bridgerton' withdrawal

What's going on with my "Janeites" and, in some cases, my "Austenites"?

This week on MY LIFE IN THE PAST, I visit Jane Austen's birthplace, and find joy with many, many of my fellow Janeites in a soaking wet field. And do note that the 25% off summer sale on annual subscriptions runs for the whole of July!

(2/3) the English phrases "fan fiction" we have print of it in dating back to just before World War I with practical examples including the Janeites who published "Old Friends and New Fancies – an Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen" as well as and the Sherlock Holmes Society zines!

Janeites are too harsh on Fanny Price and nowhere near harsh enough on Mr Bennet.

I much admire & _use_ your Janeites volume. Ellen
