The Brandon Family Album: Volume VII

Family man Christopher's concern extends just as much to his pets Pixie...

...and Weeble,...

...as to his grandchildren. He and Giles in particular have bonded over a shared love of music, and Christopher is more than happy to pass on his extensive knowledge of the topic.

He and Marianne are united in their determination to keep up their fitness levels, even in their elder years.

I think they need to be more conscious of not overdoing it though!

Youngest daughter Joanna is still at home with them, and has other plans for this hot, summer's afternoon.

Although in the past she and Hester were an item for a while, Louie seems to have finally captured her heart like no other.

She wastes no time in making her long-term intentions clear.

But Louie is left cold by the proposition of a more fixed commitment. What is it with everyone wanting to tie them down, just when life is beginning to open up for them?!

Joanna has little option but to divert her energies into her own career, with positive results!

As autumn draws in, it's time to say goodbye to Merybury's most preposterous pooch. For now, she's laid to rest in the peaceful back garden.

The Brandons can't bear to be without a dog for long though, and new friend Abbey is soon welcomed to the family!

She's friendly and affectionate...

...if a little high-spirited.

But they're all sure she will fit in just fine, with a little patience, and firm but kind training.

The second of Jane Austen’s novels, first published in 1813, is the most often adapted, inspiring various different takes on it. The ones pictures above are detailed below:

Pride and Prejudice (1940 Film)

This black and white film departs from the original novel in some (or should I say many?) points

Written by Aldous Huxley and Jane Murfin, adapted from the stage adaptation by Helen Jerome; directed by Robert Z. Leonard

Features 100 episodes in the International cut. The telenovela has been broadcast in other countries and languages (such as Spanish) but as far as I know, not in English.

Starring Tiffany Hines as Elizabeth Bennet, Juan Antonio as Will Darcy, Raney Branch as Jane Bennet, Brad James as Charles Bingley, Reginae Carter as Lydia Bennet, Carl Anthony Payne as Rev. Collins, among others.

*****

Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995. But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão

I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.

Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.

In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.

I'm trying to think of human cover name for the boys when they're in the human world. Because walking up to someone and being like "hey, I'm satan/lucifer/beelzbub/etc." kinda sus. Also, I'm stealing the DeVille (or was it Deville) last name from the Gakuran event. Anyways, so far I got: Lucifer - Lucius DeVille Mammon - Leviathan - Levi DeVille Satan - Stanley DeVille Asmodeus - Ashe DeVille Beelzebub - Bennet DeVille Belphegor - Ben DeVille Side Boys: Diavolo - Dante King Barbatos - Bartholomew Steward Simeon - Simeon/Christopher Peugeot Luke - Luke Solomon - Solomon Baker (technically his full legal name for the situations he's required to have one). Undateables Trio: Thirteen - Thirteen Raphael - Raphael Mephistopheles - Maxwell ???

Edit: Updated Diavolo/Barbatos/Eggplants names - Thanks to Katboykirby for the suggestions :)

The Smith Family Album: Volume XI

A quiet Sunday morning with the Smith family.

Annemarie is becoming quite a proficient musician.

Later the same day, they host a family get together,...

which swiftly turns into a gaming marathon, with granddad Christopher putting everyone to shame!

Thankfully, Christopher doesn't seem to have been scarred by his previous experience in the Smith hot tub.

It's also time to introduce a new family member.

Big world, small puppy.

Welcome to the family, Zippy! (Previously of the Morland family.)

No, Willoughby, puppies cannot double as bookmarks. Or maybe he's being very ambitious, and hoping to teach his new pal to read?

Zippy is comfortably installed in his new home.

Margaret and Willoughby had always hoped to give Annemarie a sibling.

But it just wasn't happening, until now. That really is one enormous bump!

Hi. Please write the solarpunk dystopia book. I’d read that in a heartbeat. However, if you don’t have the time, could I bother you for some book recommendations?? I’ve been on a sci-fi space semi-body horror alien kick (children of time, children of ruin, to sleep in a sea of stars) and I’m needing a new one to sink my teeth into. I think I’d like to move a little closer to the horror genera without reading an actual horror book, but anything dystopian, sci-fi, and plant/space/alien related would be cool! Any thoughts?

Space horror isn't my usual genre, nor is horror in general, but here are a few that come close. It can be hard to judge where the line sits between "horror" and "horror-adjacent," so I'm going to err on the side of just recommending a few horrifying things I've enjoyed:

Roadside Picnic, by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, 1972. Old-school soviet scifi alien horror, and the inspiration for an entire genre of fiction – "people go and explore a Weird Zone where reality is borked and bad things happen." Stalker is a direct homage, the Southern Reach trilogy, etc. I read a translation by Antonia Bouis.

The Laundry Files, by Charles Stross, 2004 – present. This one is a longer series, the first book is the Atrocity Archives. A very modern twist on Lovecraft — bureaucratic horror. The "Laundry" is the unofficial name for the British secret service that handles the occult. Necromancy is a field of theoretical computer science pioneered by Alan Turing, and you can summon Nyarlathotep with a well-crafted raytracing algorithm. The protagonist is the department IT guy, Bob Oliver Francis Howard. If you get the pun in the name you're older than me. Later books deal with the occult implications of Brexit.

There Is No Antimemetics Division, by qntm, 2020. Originally published as a serial on the SCP Wiki, later re-edited and compiled it into a standalone novel. Requires no prior knowledge of the SCP Foundation to enjoy. This is the cosmic horror that Lovecraft wishes he could have written. Can be read for free on the SCP Wiki, but I recommend buying a copy to support the author. Bonkers amazing, pedal-to-the-metal, goes from "quirky high-concept scifi" to "oh god what are they going to do to him with that chisel" real fast.

American Elsewhere, by Robert Jackson Bennet, 2013. It's a bit obscure and might be harder to find, but it's one of the best books I've read in years. Scifi horror-thriller that gets both splashily cosmic and laser-tight. Our protagonist comes to a small town in New Mexico that doesn't appear on any maps to find closure after her abusive father's death, and gets tangled up in horrifying secrets. Nasty, achingly heartbreaking, grand, and takes its time in the most delicious way. The author writes mediocre YA fantasy now, and that's a damn shame.

John Dies At The End (and its sequels), by David Wong, 2007 – 2022. Comedy-horror about shitty paranormal investigators. The comedy is genuinely hilarious and the horror is genuinely horrifying – closer to the cosmic- than body-horror, though it does get up-close and personal. One of the few comedy-horror stories I've read that convincingly pulls off both.

Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story, by Christopher Moore, 1995. A raunchy vampire story, set against the sobering backdrop of the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco. I have no idea if this actually counts as horror but I think more people should read Christopher Moore. The tonal whiplash between goofy vampire sex, night-shift convenience store workers bowling with frozen turkeys in the aisles, and the trauma of young men dying from love and dirty needles, is expertly crafted.

I could keep going but this list is already getting a bit long. Hey followers et al., you should add more recommendations, especially ones that are actual space horror!

[bethanydelleman]

Hello! I'm a somewhat new follower and I've really appreciated the posts you share about JAFF and characterization. I'm writing my own at the moment and I thought to ask you about the first names of Mr & Mrs Bennet. I'm seeing Thomas and Frances in a lot of fanfic but no set names in canon?

Do you know if these were names that got enshrined in fanon because of one particular fanfic, or if there's some Austen letter somewhere where she suggests these names? Thank you for your help!

Firstly, why do you need to name them? Jane Austen never did, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet rarely interact with anyone who would be socially able to call them by their first name, and when they do they are called either "sister" "brother" or "Mrs./Mr. Bennet". They call each other by their formal title even at home or use "my dear".

In my mind, you only need a first name for either Mr. or Mrs. Bennet is they are going to have scenes with a social equal who uses their first name to address them (even friends don't always do this) or if you are writing lengthy scenes with them alone. It may be annoying to us to use formal titles, but it's in keeping with Jane Austen.

Also, I saw this once in a fic, but there is no older man who calls his friend, "Lastname", this seems to be a young man nickname thing. But then Jane Austen doesn't get into the older folks lives that much.

I mention this because often in JAFF, Mrs. Bennet is introduced as "Mrs. Firstname Bennet" and then her name is never relevant to the plot or even used by another character (or if it is, it breaks rules of decorum). So I tend to avoid naming any character Jane Austen didn't name except in dire need.

Now, here is the can of worms that is JAFF naming conventions:

Fanny as Mrs. Bennet's first name annoys the crap out of me, because she most likely shares a name with a daughter (and even if their firstborn died, people would rename with the same name until one lived if it was an important passing-on-name). Her name is most likely Jane, second likely Elizabeth. "Fanny" comes from P&P 1995, I believe it is said by Mrs. Gardiner. I think it's used so widely because people find the name "Fanny" funny (butt/vagina depending on where you live) and because people find the frequency of first names in Jane Austen annoying (It can be tricky when you write crossovers let me tell you!)

Thomas is commonly the name of Mr. Bennet but if you choose something else no one will be mad.

Mad? Oh yeah, check reviews of published JAFF, people get ANGRY if you name Colonel Fitzwilliam anything except Richard. Like they say it pulls them out of the story and they hate it. They take off stars. If you are planning to use Colonel Fitzwilliam, either avoid naming him (my method) or call him Richard because people are dead set on that name.

Which is silly because his first name is clearly Darcy 😉

People will also find it strange, but probably won't be to mad if you call the earl anything but The Earl of Matlock (1995 again). I follow Austen and use Earl ----. I think that's all the P&P naming tropes. Colonel Brandon is most often called "Christopher"

Why?

The JAFF fandom has existed for a long time, long enough to create very pervasive fanon versions of the characters. Fanny Bennet is shrill, Richard Fitzwilliam swashbuckles and is Darcy's best friend, Mary Bennet is usually secretly Elizabeth once she comes out of her shell, and Caroline is a Screaming Bag of Evil. These fanon versions are so dominant that I often get negative feedback for going back to the book and writing them as close to canon as I can.

People hate when I married Colonel Fitzwilliam and Caroline, even though Caroline isn't that bad and Colonel Fitzwilliam straight up said he would marry for money in the darn novel. I also refused to name him in that fic.

So what you need to do is decide if you are going to carry on the tradition of Jane Austen or JAFF. Either is fine, people love both in most cases, but there are established norms and conventions in JAFF fanon versions that are wildly different than what is actually in Pride & Prejudice. So just be aware of that and pick which version you like.

Edit: also thank you question asker for your appreciation. I got too caught up in answering your question.

#JAFF #jane austen #again I am not yucking anyone's yum #people love Richard Fitzwilliam #what I like to write is different things #different folks and all that #man that idiom sounds dirty to me #question response #I approach this like a social scientist #it's an interesting subgenre #naming conventions #“fanny” Bennet #jane austen fan fiction

I'm not gonna lie after taking a two hour nap and waking with drool on my face I forgot all about this audio Lol... Spoliers

Damn William its like that? That's how y'all old blood vampires get down? Damn... I gotta respect it

Where's my man? Where's William, which country is he staying at?

So the House of Bennet was supporting Closeknit cunts since they started the inversion. If that fake ass health care ad they put up didn't tell me anything than there's my evidence

And ALL The houses knew and said get they asses up outta HERE LMAOOO

Well I was dead wrong about Christopher but uh...he still dead but I guess he deserved it so when in rome🤷🏾he got Lovely killed THEY HAD TO GO

I mean I understand how Vincent feels if I started trusting someone again and they lied to me I get it but baby THEY HAD TO GO

William called Porter to do it for a reason not you, I'm sorry Honey no disrespect🚶🏾

The department don't give not one honky tonk cowboy bepop hell about anyone. THEY WOULD SCRAP THEIR ASSES ACROSS I 95 BEFORE THEY EVER DECIDE TO GET TO A CASE. *cough* Quinn PERIOD.

"He loves you as his child" PLSSSS I CAN'T. HELP ME JESUS WILLIAM COME BACK AND APOLOGIZE YOU FRENCH BASTARD😭😭

Vincent is Williams biggest regret? Oh... Damn the heartstrings

Well... Porter is still a shit but i've grown a tiny....soft spot... Period tiny

I'm ready for more one piece of drama and then I'm going home to eat my ice cream🍨
