Right ho, Jeeves!

WARNING FOR KATIE: Fangirling and planning ensues.  Beware The Onset Of Heart Attacks.

I have a new favorite fandom.

Really.

Well, it doesn't top Pratchett, in my view of the world, not quite--but only because I'm a fantasy person and so Pratchett is Love.  And because Vetinari has a posh British accent, Carrot is totally Scottish, and Sam Vimes absolutely has to have a Cockney accent.  I mean, he's from the Shades.  Of course they speak Cockney there.

Although it then begs the question what accent does Angua have, 'cause as much as Uberwald is clearly Transylvania... she doesn't have the accent. Just no. *Frowns* I'm thinking... No, dammit, not Irish. Welsh or Cornwall I can see. No, no no, not allowed to be Irish... oh damn. Now I'm gonna hear that, aren't I? *Headdeskheaddeskheaddesk*

I hate you.  You know who you are. Aubrey, save me.

In the mean time, I want to pick up a Jeeves or a Bertie, but I'm not sure which. It'll wait until Certain People have watched the episodes and can take the other, though. God, those two alternate between best friends, brothers, and Slash, I swear.  Anyway... I had the rummiest idea.

Oh god save me from Bertie's speech patterns. They're haunting me.

Anyway, I thought of the loverly idea of a Jeeves/Pride and Prejudice crossover.  At first the thought occurred to me because Bertie reminds me of a less intelligent Bingley, and I thought "Hey! What if Jeeves served Bingley? That would prevent Darcy's lunatic interference, and then Jeeves could go work for Darcy, and help him out, and then go be employed by Bertie!"  Except then I realized I wouldn't have the easiest narrator.

So, enter my new project: Bertie Wooster, in order to escape the clutches of dearest Aunt Agatha and the fearsome Honoria Glossop, accepts an invitation from old Oxford chum Charles "Chuck" (or when really drunk or from, say, Bingo or Barmy or someone, "Bingles") Bingley, and naturally takes along the inimitable Jeeves. (And yes, I'm stealing that title to use as the title of the thing, just 'cause I love it). Cue Insanity and Interference. ...Which would be another good title for it, seeing as it's an Austen thing... it's what Blackadder would have called it...

...Yeah. Um. I've lost what mind I had.

Also, the awesome thing about this is that I can totally do a Series of Jane Austen Through Bertie Wooster's Eyes. *Grins* Set in his time period, of course--it's easier to move them than him.  And some would naturally be in New York--probably Persuasion, which can have long-separated Brits--and Northanger Abbey--which can have an American girl. ...And possibly Sense and Sensibility, which would also be the accidents of the British Upper Class in America... hmm. And Emma and Mansfield Park would, naturally, take place in England--there's too much Britishness in those not to do it. *Beamity*

So yes. I Am Pleased.  Comments on the possible endeavour would be greatly appreciated.

...Also, comments on how to avoid this continual absorption by osmosis of the speech patterns of Bertie, Jeeves, Discworld characters, or my other Brits would help. I said "I dare say" out loud yesterday. Bad.
