We want your wlw pairings, your new happy endings, your P&P ot3s and ot4s, your “but what if they’re trans,” your queer art and fanart inspired by this beloved story! This story has such a lovely main and supporting cast, the possibilities for taking Pride and Prejudice and MAKING IT QUEER are endless!

This is the third in our Queer Fanworks Inspired By… series, publishing legal fanfic and fanart inspired by popular works in the public domain. It builds on the success of our first two, And Seek (Not) to Alter Me (inspired by Much Ado About Nothing) and Aim For The Heart (inspired by The Three Musketeers). This is a paid arting opportunity; artists will be asked to complete one full-page (A4/210 mm x 297 mm), full-color piece, and we may have space for some artists to complete more than one page and/or short comics.

Rating: 2/5

Book Blurb: Equal parts witty and steamy, this debut rom-com brings a healthy dose of queerness and a whole lot of heart to a Pride and Prejudice-inspired enemies to lovers romance. The only thing worse than hating your boss? Being attracted to her. Liz Baker and her three roommates work at the Nether Fields, a queer magazine in New York that’s on the verge of shutting down—until it’s bought at the last minute by two wealthy lesbians. Liz knows she’s lucky to still have a paycheck but it’s hard to feel grateful with minority investor Daria Fitzgerald slashing budgets, cancelling bagel Fridays, and password protecting the color printer to prevent “frivolous use.” When Liz overhears Daria scoffing at her listicles, she knows that it’s only a matter of time before her impulsive mouth gets herself fired. But as Liz and Daria wind up having to spend more and more time together, Liz starts to see a softer side to Daria—she’s funny, thoughtful, and likes the way Liz’s gender presentation varies between butch and femme. Despite the evidence that Liz can’t trust her, it’s hard to keep hating Daria—and even harder to resist the chemistry between them. This page-turning, sexy, and delightfully funny rom-com celebrates queer culture, chosen family, and falling in love against your better judgment.

Review:

A modern day queer retelling of Pride and Prejudice? Don’t mind if I do! The story follows Liz Baker and her three roommates who work at the Nether Fields, a queer magazine in New York is on the verge of shutting down... until it is bought by two wealthy lesbians: Bailey and Daria. Liz is has been in a rut: she isn’t really into any of the stuff she writes for her magazine while thinking her own queer blog writing isn’t good enough, she wants to do something more, write something real. But after a not so great meeting with Daria Fitzgerald in which Liz learns that Daria is slashing all the budgets, cancelling bagel fridays, and thinks that all Liz writes is useless fluff pieces that are asinine.... Liz loathes Daria. It doesn’t help that Liz meets Weston, someone who has a terrible past with Daria. While Liz’s roommate and best friend Jane is falling for Bailey... Liz and Daria are forced to spend more time together and soon discover that there might be more... but after a misunderstanding, mixed signals, and a series of unfortunate events, things get complicated and so does their relationship. Unfortunately for me this retelling and inspired story just didn’t really hit the mark for me, despite being a queer Pride and Prejudice retelling (something I am 100% on board) I just didn’t really enjoy Liz and Daria’s relationship all that much and all the toxic drama around them. I was hoping for something more and I guess it just didn’t meet my expectations. I adored the classic story, and I adore a good retelling, but unfortunately this one just didn’t hook me or ever made me actually want to invest in the characters or their relationship. While this one didn’t work out for me, definitely give it a go if you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice or queer romances!

*Thanks Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Random House, Dial Press Trade Paperback for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

i love pride and prejudice. like most good art, it’s an autistic woman projecting onto all of her autistic women characters she writes about to cope with the fact that she can’t do much but think. darcy is included as one of the women.

#there’s a lot of philosophy to had in disability and in femininity and in queerness and in being any sort of categorical nd #jane austen #pride and prejudice #🩷

the unspeakable crimes I would commit for a funny lighthearted spicy lesbian regency romance with at least somewhat of a happy ending…

edit: everyone recommending books, you have my eternal love and gratitude, and please keep recommending them, but I meant on screen

My Demisexual Headcanons 💜

For the ones who don't know what it means:

Demisexuality is an orientation found in the gray area of the asexual spectrum. People who identify with this label don't feel any kind of sexual attraction until they form an emotional (and/or intellectual) bond with someone else. Demisexuals can also identify themselves as hetero, homo, bi or pan, since the term refers to the circumstance in which the attraction happens, not the gender(s) the person is attracted to.

P.S.: people who develop sexual attraction EXCLUSIVELY through intellect are more known as Sapiosexuals.

Characters (from left to right):

Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars Prequels)

Belle (Beauty and the Beast)

Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games Trilogy)

Erik/The Phantom (The Phantom of the Opera)

Christine Daaé (The Phantom of the Opera)

Enjolras (Les Miserables)

Elizabeth Bennet (Pride & Prejudice)

Prince Henry (Ever After: A Cinderella Story)

A friendly reminder this is just MY opinion. You don't need to agree with me, all I ask is respect. Thank you. 👍

The first known Mr Darcy on stage was a woman. In 1899 Miss Willis as Mr Darcy performed alongside Miss Childs as Elizabeth Bennet, as part of an all-female production of Pride and Prejudice at Wellesley College, Massachusetts.

Still waiting for any sort of transmasculine representation to show up in popular media.

Yesterday I finished 'Pride and Prejudice and Pittsburgh' after not really expecting much of that book but damn that was beautiful and fun to read in general as well. Sapphic slowburn and forbidden love is my favorite thing ever tbh 100% recommended.
