Sorry this recap is late, folks– sometimes my paying job gets in the way. Lots of twists and turns await in today’s episode of Welcome to Sanditon! So Gigi has investigated and discovered that, of course, there’s nothing wrong with either More…
Emily Bytheway
Editor
Emily Bytheway is first and foremost a literature geek, as evidenced by her two degrees in English (especially her masters thesis on The Lord of the Rings), her probably-unhealthy obsession with Jane Austen, and her participation in Harry Potter fandom since 2000. She joined LeakyNews in March of 2013, but was once the Scribbulus co-Managing Editor for the Leaky Cauldron back in the day. When not obsessively reading Jane Austen, J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, Georgette Heyer, Lois McMaster Bujold, Rick Riordan, Laurie R. King, and R.J. Anderson, she also enjoys watching TV shows like Doctor Who, Sherlock, Star Trek, Gilmore Girls, and Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman; movies like What's Up, Doc?, The Music Man, and Pirates of the Carribbean; Looney Tunes cartoons, pretty much anything not R-rated starring David Tennant, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, or Orlando Bloom; and Jane Austen adaptations, of course. She also likes going to Disneyland and the Utah Shakespeare Festival, spending time with her nieces and nephews, and playing in her family handbell choir. Oh, and sometimes she works, too.
On LeakyNews, Emily brings her unique talents in the field of 18th and 19th-century literature (as applied to modern adaptations like "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries"). She likes Darcy. A lot. But not as much as she likes Henry Tilney.

Welcome to Sanditon #10: Ice Cream for Breakfast

Welcome to Sanditon Episode #7: There’s the drama we’ve been promised!

Welcome to Sanditon Episode #6: Revenge of the Ice Cream Lady
In episode #6 of Welcome to Sanditon, Clara snarkily gets her revenge on Mayor Tom for turning her ice cream shop into a juice bar, and now I want a milkshake. THIS CHOCOLATE BANANA PEANUT JUICE SOUNDS DIVINE. Although More…
Welcome to Sanditon Episode #5: I think I spot some plot!

Lizzie Bennet Posts Follow-up on Twitter
. . . and it’s HILARIOUS. One of the most comical scenes in P&P is when Mr. Collins introduces himself to Mr. Darcy at the Netherfield Ball and Mr. Darcy gets really annoyed. It’s also pretty much the only scene More…
