The neighbourhood has one piece of news and is spending it fast: Netherfield Park is let at last, to a single man of large fortune — and he has brought a friend. Mr. Bingley has smiled at everyone in the county twice already. Mr. Darcy has declined to smile at anyone even once, and the assembly rooms have counted, and will not forgive him.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a retelling of Pride and Prejudice?

No. The world and canon characters are the foundation, not a fixed plot. You can redirect a familiar scene, form new relationships, reveal a secret earlier, or take the story somewhere the original never went.

Do I choose from prepared options?

No. Write any action, dialogue, thought, or direction to the narrator. The next passage is generated as continuous prose around your decision.
