Rain and Retribution written by: ldb531
Summary: No summary posted (Completed AHA)
Ramble: I liked this story for the most part. I have to admit that there were points in the story that got me confused, because some of the characters in the story are very different from the book. With that being said, this story gave a really interesting perspective on some of the other characters. The two characters that were really different and threw me for a loop the most are Mr. Bennet, Jane, and Georgiana.

If Only In His Dreams
If Only In His Dreams written by: D'Arcy in Utah
Summary: No summary on site (AHA Completed)
Ramble: This is a little different from the original book. The Bennet parents are not really in this story, and there are only three Bennet siblings. one older brother, Jane and Elizabeth. Not only that, but Darcy's mother is still alive in this one. Part of me was surprised because no one is the mean/evil person. I mean, there are some characters that do some mot so nice things, but they are kind of excused as we read on and learn more about them. Love the last chapter with the quick fast forward. :)

By The Numbers
By The Numbers written by: jancat
Summary: Social worker Elizabeth Bennet hates bankers. Will Darcy is an artistic soul trapped in a banker's world. Beer is spilled, barbs are thrown and love emerges. (AHA completed)
Ramble: A rather quick modern story. There is no crazy aunt on the Darcy side of the story this time. Not only that, but the relationship problems between Charles and Jane does not really have anything to do with Darcy in this story. The summary holds true, and seems to be a really quick read.

Perfect Fit
Perfect Fit written by: Linda Wells
Summary: Billionaire Fitzwilliam Darcy is burdened with maintaining his family’s legacy following the tragic deaths of his parents, and must also attempt to restore his young sister’s spirit after becoming the victim of Internet luring by a former family friend. Elizabeth Bennet is a popular author of young adult mystery novels, written as a way of escaping first the behavior and then the memory of a dominating former lover. These two lonely people meet at a wedding, over a broken shoe, and learn that once upon a time can lead to a happy ending. (The book can be found on Amazon too)
Ramble: A modern twist on the classic story. Elizabeth has a history with Collins already that isn't that happy. While their history is not covered in a lot of details, readers are able to see how it shapes Elizabeth's character. At first, I thought the story could have ended earlier, but after reading it, the author ended it at the right place. I guess my original thought stemmed from where the classic story ended, so imagine my surprise when I got to where I thought the story will end, but see a more pages to the story. :)

Hi.
I know it has been a while since I last posted. I've been reading on my mobile instead my computer lately and have a bunch of comments and such saved in my e-mail. When things calm down for me, I plan on back tracking and posting those up. Right now, I am not sure when that will be but I will try to make a few posts here and there.
Ever since the start of this semester, I feel like I've been behind on everything. Every thing non-school related has taken a back seat. Family and other real life obligations are not really helping me in finding time to do stuff for me. I'll try to keep things up when I'm near my computer, so there might be a post or two here or there while I'm 'taking a break'. :)

Forget with Silence and Tears
Forget with Silence and Tears written by: Angela's Daydreams
Summary: Modern day story inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion
Ramble: So this is from a different site. You have to log in before you can get to the story. This is slightly different from the usual stories for Persuasion. It has a modern twist to it. Most of the story takes place in the Bay Area and Seattle. Anne is a nurse, and Frederick joined the Peace Corps and is involved in technology.

Seeing Bella
Seeing Bella written by: sherryola
Summary: Alice has a vision of a girl with no vision. She will either save Edward from his life of lonely brooding, or she will destroy him with his destruction of her. Can Bella discover the Cullen family secret if she can't see? Canon vamps and couples. AU
Ramble: This is an amazing story!!! Every now and then I enjoy reading a story like this. I look forward to going through this story again and leaving reviews as I go (I don't like leaving reviews when I'm on mobile so I try to go back and backtrack when I am on my computer). Between the awesome story, recs at the end, and especially the author notes, I'm hooked. Part of me wants to go through and read through the notes again because there are some good resources in there about accessibility. For some reason, getting things accessible to people is something I like to learn more about. I've tried to play around with some of the ease of access stuff on my computer before, I had little to no luck with that (it was difficult for me to set some of the stuff up, let alone use it). Well, here I am going off topic. I'll stop here, but I look forward to following this author to see what other stories this author will write and share.

Student Relations
Student Relations written by:? for: Taste of the Forbidden Contest
Summary: Professor Cullen is having a HARD time literally with his new TA and he doesn't know what to do, can she help him with his problem?
Ramble: This kind of reminds me of the professor/headmaster ( yeah, I remember rereading that a few times already) story I love. This is a lot shorter, and innocent when compared to the story I am thinking about. A quick comment about things are not always as they seem (or something like that). Though I have to admit, I am curious to see how things turn out when more people find out about their relationship as well as what happens to the presentation at the end of the story.

Summary: How does Edward tell his best friend's wife, who he happens to be in love with, that her husband is cheating on her? His plans to let it go for the night are spoiled when the woman he loves knocks at his door at four a.m. EXB Mature
Ramble: So Bella starts out married to Jacob and things don't go as planned. Instead of enjoying her marriage, she eventually feels more like a trophy wife than anything else. A nice story pretty quick read. While it is a quick read, it is well paced. :)
