It’s been a long time since I posted one of these!
Do you remember that year when a dark haired boy got off the bus in Stars Hollow and our lives weren’t quite the same after that? Because of that boy, because of his aloofness and intensity and, face it, smoking hot looks, we were drawn first to the television every week, and then to the internet, where we found each other. It was then, when I tentatively placed my pen to paper and first wrote for an audience. I lived to write, snatching moments in pharm lectures to plan out the next scene, to find just the right combination of words. I loved the reviews that encouraged me on.
It’s been a long time since I was enchanted with Gilmore Girls. Long before the series finale aired, I had stopped watching, disgusted by the changes in Rory’s character, the lack of warmth in the relationship between Lorelai and Rory, the cardboard caricatures that the townies had become. I’ve stopped reading GG fanfiction, my own story gathering figurative dust, two chapters short of finished.
And then I clicked on this story and was instantly transported back to the magical days of Season 2. “Truths Universally Acknowledged” is an absolute delight to read. Her characterization of Jess and Paris are spot on perfect, and Rory, while somewhat wooden in her dialogue is still the charming, bookish 16-year-old that we once loved. Did I mention that it’s all about Jane Austen and takes place after “There’s the Rub” and there’s delightful townies storylines that seem positively lifted from the show? It makes me want to dig out my DVDs, watch all of the old fan videos that Ali and Becka used to make, reread some of my favorite stories, and yes, even tackle my little neglected story again. It’s that good.
You can find links to all 8 chapters of the story here: Truths Universally Acknowledged by 12cubed. Go on, now. Go read and then come back and we can gush together. 🙂

Two of my favorite things in one fic: season two of The Gilmore Girls and Jane Austen. I must book-mark it to read later.

Are you referring to Jess? I really liked him. I wanted Rory to end up with him.

Ditto on the GG comment. I was so sad when my favorite show became just like all the other drivel one finds in primetime nowadays.
By the way, if you change your mind about buying a Nikon, we now have two identical Cannon cameras (too long of a story for the comments section) and would love to sell one of them. Let me know.
I like the pictures that your camera take. Benjamin always looks adorable. How much are you wanting to sell it for?

We’d sell it for $125 and we’d pay shipping. Interested?

I watched season 1 of GG with my mom during the month I was home over the summer. Had never seen the show at all before, and I really enjoyed it! Don’t know when I’ll get around S2 though, since I’d feel bad watching without my mother…
