I am just back from the concert that was given by the chorus I am a member of, in Duke Chapel. Er, let me rephrase that.

Okay, so I've been singing with a women's chorus every monday for a while now. And our concert was today, in Duke Chapel. And I'm just back from it.

And thank god we had an intermission, because I nearly fainted ).

Thing is, while I've gone faint before, it was usually related to intense, fast-paced pysical activity with no break for resting, like hip-hop jazz dance, or the polka. And I practiced, for over a weak, under the coach of a drama teacher, to be able to project my voice to fill a stage while wearing a corset, so I'm not exactly sure what was going on.

But it seems a safe bet to blame low blood sugar.

Though it caused me (due to a misunderstanding) to assiduously avoid mentioning my middle name (the one I use now) for several years, I am very, very fond of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and have in fact read it so many times that it is a fair way to being entirely memorised (which, unfortunately, somewhat spoils it for me when I try to reread it once more).

So someone asked me, had I read any P&P fanfiction?

Honestly, I was blindsided. I hadn't even considered the possibility of fanfiction. I therefore didn't know if there was any, or where, and consequently had not read any.

I have now.

And it is always, always so weird to see my name going around and doing things. It keeps on bringing up muddled me/Elizabeth slash, and I'm sorry, but no. I do not approve. Me/Bingly slash also is a no.

So. Have I read any P&P fanfiction? Yes. Do I like it? Some of the writing is very good, but I don't think I'll be able to really appreciate it until I can manage to dissociate Darcy from Darcy.
