I don't think I could bear to write the story of Wickham and Jane, though it would certainly be interesting. <br /><br />As I read these comments, I want to tell everyone they should write these stories - at least jot down their thoughts about all these possible twists and turns!

Hm...Thanks for the giveaway! Here are my entries:<br /><br />Hmmm... the mystery lady that Wickham sets his sights on this time... I know it might sound ridiculous, but maybe he's got the nerve to go after Georgiana again? Maybe he finds a way to reel her in again, despite their past history.

There are several characters deserving of a better fate, but Austen was a realist, painting a picture of life as it really is. I was not hampered by such restraints, and hopefully you will enjoy the different paths I've picked for all three ladies.

My first instinct was to change the destiny of Charlotte, while I would love for Mary and Anne to have different outcomes, Charlotte is the one I want most! <br /><br />The secret lady?

A blush would certainly enhance Anne's complexion. <br /><br />Regarding Mary, so many wonderful stories have been writen about her, all based on the very few lines she has in Pride and Prejudice. Austen always amazes me with her ability to so quickly endow her characters with individuality. Mary plays a fairly large role in my story.
