When I first heard that a new Pride and Prejudice film was in the works, I was both apprehensive and excited. I had seen every single film adaptation made of my favorite Jane Austen book and considered the A&E version starring Colin Firth as Mr Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennett the end-all. As a miniseries, it was able to closely follow the book and not omit any of the wonderful parts that made the novel a classic. With a movie made for the big screen, important plot twists and scenes would have to be removed to fit in the allotted time. It was with slight trepidation that I watched the new version, but I quickly found myself caught up in the breathtaking scenery and the witty repetoire between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. At first, I felt I was betraying Colin Firth by enjoying the new film. However, I have managed to come to terms with my love for both movies.
As for my love of the 2005 version, let me start by saying that Colin Firth will always be Mr. Darcy. He can play as many roles as he wants, but that man is forever stuck in my mind as Mr. Darcy. Keeping that in mind, however, Matthew Macfadyen was an excellent choice to follow in his footsteps. I...

We've seen every version of PandP, we've read the book countless times, and we all have a secret crush (or not so secret) on this 18th century male. Why can't we get enough?...
Mr. Darcy is not only a charecter in Pride and Prejudice but he is a true lead in the book. He is a mysterious, intriguing charecter that seems to truly hit home in our hearts even more than we can explain. But how? I've come up with a good list of reasons why we can't get enough of this awesome hero.
1. He's rich (slightly self-centered, but hey, it adds to the image)
2. He is described as handsome. (Enough said :)
3. Since he is a charecter in a book, his features are open to representation. (you can make him look like anyone you want)
4. We don't just love him, but we love the story. (Since JA's novels are so well written and clever, just being the hero the story makes Mr. Darcy even more amazing.
5. Elizabeth is in love with him. (Jane Austen's writing makes you want to be or even think you are Elizabeth Bennet. So therefore, you start to fall in love with Darcy as Elizabeth does.

During my search for Pride and Prejudice sequels, I have managed to come across many websites that offer P&P fanfiction. I thought I would post my findings here for all to enjoy. The stories on these sites range anywhere from one or two stories to hundreds of stories, so browse at your leisure.
The only site that I have completely and thoroughly enjoyed thus far is the Bits of Ivory site (listed below), so most of the other sites I don’t have much information to relay regarding content, though I will perform cursory inspections of each site to provide necessary details to its content for your benefit.
In putting together this list I have also come to the realization that some fan-fic authors have posted the same story on multiple sites, so you may run across the same stories in different areas.
I did give authors their own links if they had their own webpage connected with the primary link.
If you know of any other websites that feature P&P fanfiction, let me know and I will update this as needed.
