Description:

Its one of the most popular novels in the English language, and one of my personal favorite movies, "Bridget Jones's Diary" is a contemporary take on it. If the title wasn't enough to tell you, then you'd be most happy to know I'm referring to Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice", first published in 1813.

I started reading this novel for the very first time in my life recently, and have just completed a viewing of the 1995 miniseries staring Mr. Sexy Pants, er, I mean Mr. Colin Firth and his clingy wet shirt.

And somewhere while watching him walk away to his beautiful home, I had an idea.

Let's create an ATC showcasing a character from the book. You can use any movie version (as there are MANY).

To clarify, this is not an ATC featuring an image of the book itself, or a quote (but if you wish to add one in addition to the character's image, go for it!)

We will have 2 (two) partners, and you will send 1 (one) ATC to each. That's a total of two cards. It's sender's choice, although I'm personally sending out two different characters. That's my personal choice, it doesn't have to be yours.

[EDIT: It has been asked that, although its sender's choice, to please be considerate of your receiver, since they are the ones who will be keeping it for ever and ever. If someone says "Oy, I HATE Colin Firth" then we ask you chose a different actor who played Mr. Sexy-Man-Darcy. If this turns off any people from the swap, I humbly beg that you reconsider and stay to have some tea. <3]

If you have any questions, feel free to post below (as I will be checking) or PM me. Heck, you can twitter me if you want. I will angel this swap. Have at least a 4.5 rating and if you are a newbie, have a completed profile.

Thank you and let's have fun (and think about Colin Firth, mmmm.)

The words Colin Firth and wet shirt on the same page have just destroyed my concentration for the day..............

DigitalMisfit 03/14/2010 #

LOL! You had to start a swap just for this didnt you? :P

GenjiPomf 03/14/2010 #

@DigitalMisfit Oh yes! I mean, might as well, right?

I have to say that the actor who played Darcy in the film "Lost in Austen" had a MUCH clingier wet shirt than Colin Firth ever did. :d

GenjiPomf 03/14/2010 #

At your service, @Filpot Lols.

Well there was no way I WASN'T joining this swap. <333 Is it possible for me to request nothing from the Keira Knightley version? That movie was just awful. :x

GenjiPomf 03/14/2010 #

@jencrest Ohh thats a good idea. I shall add that to the rules.

bluehairedmary 03/14/2010 #

I would join this but I don't make ATC's! I'm watching...

marilavado 03/15/2010 #

Mmmm... Colin Firth with the wet shirt... drools

GenjiPomf 03/15/2010 #

Apparently I can't type. I must be distracted by wet shirt.

@bluehairedmary Awww, I'm sorry to hear that! If you have any suggestions on other swaps about this novel/movie, I'd love to hear it!

Filpot 03/19/2010 #

I've never made an ATC before, but I just can't resist. I'm in! (And hope that if my partners are ATC specialists, they'll be gentle with me!)

bluehairedmary 03/21/2010 #

Filpot, me too! I couldn't NOT join! I'll try my utter best...

GenjiPomf 03/22/2010 #

@filpot I think you'll do just fine! Let me know if you need help/advice. <3

LeishaCamden 03/22/2010 #

I just have to join this ... !! I'm also totally a newbie to ATCs but I just have to try when the theme is this ... tempting. ;-)

bluehairedmary 03/25/2010 #

For whoever my partner is, (obviously) I would prefer a Darcy card... But an Elizabeth card is a close second... A&E version... Can we make one of Jane Austen herself?

LeishaCamden 03/26/2010 #

BBC version for me too - I really can't stand the Keira Knightley version, worst Darcy ever. >:-(

GenjiPomf 03/27/2010 #

@bluehairedmary Making one of Jane Austin would be good for the next swap!! Thanks for the idea!
