It's no secret that I love Jane Austen. I actually co-own a site called Indie Jane that is a community of readers and writers of independently published Austenesque fiction. I'd totally link you to it right now so you could check out the awesomeness, but we have been attacked with malware and currently have a crack team of specialists (okay, just one specialist) investigating.
