Two big developments in the land of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, posted right now because we think we don’t do enough coverage of that web series around here:

This afternoon the Lydia Bennet Sex Tape website went down.

Screen Shot 2013-02-13 at 6.51.27 PMReasons “beyond our control”? What does that mean? Beyond the company’s control would seem to indicate lawyer action, no?

Then there was this:

Has Darcy bought the company? If so let me say:

That comes from here, and is chosen because, well, we’re all gonna dance around for Darcy when the smooching happens, let’s do a little Gigi love too.

What’s hilarious about all of this is that not only did we all know this was going to happen, there was a countdown to when(ish) it was going to happen. Yet the Lizzie Bennet Tumblr tag has exploded in raptures of joy and the comments section from the last article has just about fainted on itself in a corseted swoop.

Anyone who says well-told stories aren’t real is on something.

And now…DISCUSS!

Also: I have an appointment tomorrow at Video Time, so my reaction will be delayed. I’ll have one of our awesome editors update a draft with the video post so that you guys can get your theorizin’ on!

Thanks to HuffleDorkable for the image of the I<3Darcy ribbon from LeakyCon 2012!

    So, this is awesome, but how about a story on how The Lizzie Bennet Diaries has won two Streamy Awards so far: Best Interactive Program and Best Writing: Comedy! I know awards don’t mean much as long as there is love, but it is pretty awesome to see this amazing program acknowledged in such a way! XD

    Oh, and I definitely agree with the theory that Darcy bought the company. Even if he did pay off George, I don’t think it would have meant that the company would listen to George and take down the video because they have to turn a profit as well. The only way they would, IMO, is if their new CEO walked in, and ordered them too. I am looking forward to Friday and the next Domino video, TBH, so we can maybe see if this theory is correct.

    Suspension of disbelief is such a beautiful thing. I love what happened these past two days, and I can’t wait to see what happens in Lizzie’s video tomorrow, considering what just happened, and valentines day.
