Hey LBD folks: Check out what’s on the Kickstarter page for the Lizzie Bennet Diaries DVDs:

It’s going to take us some time to put together another full-on series after wrapping up The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. But we have no intention of leaving you hanging. So here’s what’s coming up.

You’ve seen the Pemberley Digital press release that announced a search for a partner community. And maybe you’ve even read Gigi’s SXSW interview where she hinted that the search was related to her upcoming move. 

Today, we can tell you that the search is over. A partner community has been selected, and Gigi is going to take you there.

Welcome to Sanditon.

Based on one of Jane Austen’s unfinished novels,Welcome To Sanditon will be a full interactive experience that takes you to the beach town of Sanditon, California as it attempts to revitalize itself into a modern resort destination. 

Through Gigi’s videos, you’ll meet the residents of Sanditon as she brings the beta version of Domino to reveal the drama in their lives.  But we’re not stopping there.  

In The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, you got to interact with the story.  InWelcomeTo Sanditon, we’re taking things one step further —  you’ll get a chance to be a part of the story. 

We’re busy putting the town together now, and will reveal more details soon. 

Welcome to Sanditon will launch in early May 2013. 

I did not see that coming. But it sounds fairly awesome.

Hmmm… I’d been getting all geared up for an Emma adaptation, so this is different. What unfinished novel is being adapted here? I’ve only read the big six, so I’ll have to get my research on. And I wonder what kind of unfinished state we’re talking about. Beginning chapters but no ending? Just sketched? Some writing, some sketching? Bits and pieces from beginning to end, but not completely filled out? Whatever it is, it’ll allow some room for extra creativity.

I’m intrigued.

And now, back to our regularly-scheduled rewatch.

There’s still hope for Emma, since they’re talking about Sanditon as being just a “miniseries” that will be starting up around the end of April, as opposed to the “second major series” that will be starting up after the DVD is finished, in late summer 2013.

Update: Oops. Kelsey said the same thing already. And since she’s actually in-universe, I think you can take that to the bank. :-)
