So I’m not preachy today. Instead, I’m sharing some of my new found obsessions.
It is always great to see a new-fangled something or other, especially when it has to do with talent and ingenuity.
The first two are web series. There are a ton of webseries, vlogs, and thoughts by random people. What I happened to stumble upon by chance would be The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (http://www.lizziebennet.com/). It has run its course and ended after the 100th episode, but I was so impressed with it, I had to tell you. Lizzie Bennet is best known as a character in the fictional novel “Pride and Prejudice”. Now put modern clothes on her, along with red hair, place her in a modern setting and give her a video blog to speak to as her life carries its course with numerous friends, family, and enemies coming along to pop into her videos seemingly randomly. In between times she talks to you (about twice a week) she and the other people involved in her blog talk on twitter, commenting on everyday life or something rather important. Now modernize her family, friends, and crushes then give them all twitter accounts (and one sister a video blog of her own). Now you have the The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. It rolls in the same time frame as actual happenings. This made it sublimely realistic and several times I had to remind myself that no, Lizzie was not reading a book right now and Darcy was not dreaming about Lizzie’s long locks because really Heather, they aren’t real. It was lovely. They did a great job at keeping to the story, and the acting was incredible. I would definetly recommend it.
Something that is extremely similar would be The Autobiography of Jane Eyre. So far I’m not entirely sure what I think but it definetly has caught my attention. It’s much like the above just with the characters and story of Jane Eyre. Look here http://theautobiographyofja.wix.com/jane-eyre#
There you have it, my whimsical happiness. Enjoy. :)
