Jane Austen's novels About DWG Epilogue Abbey (Fanfiction Archive I) Fantasia Gallery (Fanfiction Archive II) Other Jane Austen Links

Welcome to the home of the Derbyshire Writers' Guild, one of the oldest and largest archives of Jane Austen fan fiction on the internet. Jane Austen (Dec 16, 1775 - July 18, 1817) is best known for her novels Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Persuasion, and for her wit and social observations. We make no claims to be able to reach the literary heights of Miss Austen, but, because we all wish that she had lived longer and written more, we feel the need to expand on the world, the characters and the stories that Miss Austen created.

Our archives include over 2,400 stories, and more stories are posted to our message board every day. We have a community message board at Jane Austen's Tea Room, where we discuss all things Austen and a great deal more, and we have a place to share our non-Jane-Austen-based creative writing: A Novel Idea. Come and share your love for the works of Jane Austen with us!

For more information on how to navigate the site, please visit our How Does this Place Work page.
