It’s here.
So. It’s here. It’s finally time. I’ve been terribly impatient. I wanted this book out in the world before it was ever even written. I wanted it to exist the minute the videos ended because I needed to know what happened next. What happened to Lydia, who had become so much more of a person than a character.
I don’t know if rachelkiley remembers this, but we were in the middle of the super-high craziness of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, when the 200th anniversary of P&P conflated with Lizzie getting to Pemberley/the sex tape and the whole thing seemed to explode. At that time, we were already writing the final episodes. I whispered to Rachel that Lydia’s story should be a book. This was before anyone had even said a word about The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet, let alone another book after that. I just knew that Lydia had more to say after the end, and I wanted to hear it.
It was just an idea at the time. And it took a long time to make it more than that. (Unfortunately, there is no such thing as instant gratification in the book world. Also, babies/jobs/stuff.) We’ve been posting chapters on Wattpad but now the whole thing is finally here. (I’m even doing a giveaway on my facebook page today, so you could potentially read the whole thing for free.)
And I hope you read it. Enjoy it. Or not, you don’t have to enjoy it. Ask us questions. Post reviews on amazon or goodreads. We also enjoy a nice gifset.
Regardless, I’m just happy that Lydia finally gets her own say.
