Hi all,
not sure if this message will be read at
all... I feel like John Dunbar arriving at
Fort Sedgewick lol... well, just stumbled
across this place and thought my announcement
might interest you:
I created a huge list of links, mainly about the
Bronte Sisters (there´s a section about the
Victorian Era as well).
If you´re interested, visit this site:

bye:-),

That's a great list.
Would you like to become host of this conference?
We need a host and we will help support you in this effort.

Well, I took a close look at the board.
1000 messages in 8 years indicates that
the members of this board are fairly
lazy about writing...
The spiritedness of a board is depending
on its members, on *each and every one of
them*! The Brontes, their lives, their
works provide countless topics for further
discussion, but as long as people are not
taking the time to communicate their
thoughts, it is, and will be, a fruitless
undertaking... you see, I`m a rather
emotional person, and passionate about
the Brontes... holding monologues (like
the last host did) would make me unhappy.
Nevertheless: your offer was kindly meant,
I appreciate it & want to thank your for
it! :-)
bye:-),

What, if I emailed all the old users and asked them to come back home?
I've been waiting for a new host to do this.
Also, I could promote it. You know our http://firth.com site gets quite a few visitors and there may be an overlap in interests. Would firthfans translate to bronte fans?

As I can see from the postings, Amy2, the last
host, did her best in keeping the list up &
alive - it has not worked out! I don´t have her
angelic patience, and therefore, won´t follow
in her footsteps... sorry, Terry!
Most people got to know Colin Firth from
his role as Mr. Darcy in "Pride and
Prejudice", I suppose - he did a brilliant
job, one could almost say he was born to
play Darcy :-) - BTW, there´s a new
version to be released soon... the trailer
alone sent shivers of horror down my spine,
would I survive watching the whole movie?
lol! Where was I? well, as always in life,
there are people who can coexist peacefully,
but I´ve also come across debates of Austen
lovers and Bronte lovers who had nothing
better to do than verbally tearing eachothers
books into pieces! kindergarden is what I
call that! ;-) so, it depends on the individual,
I think. (IMO, the Austen books are literary
masterpieces, yet compared to the Bronte
books, they lack some kind of depth of their
characters - that is basically the result of
the storyline, and has nothing to do with
the *quality* of the books)
