Hello, and welcome to Pemberley and Beyond — the podcast where we dive into the ever-expanding world of Jane Austen fan fiction (JAFF for short).

New lives, new loves, fresh drama… and tropes that just keep turning up like Wickham at a wealthy heiress’ door.

I’m Cat — an Austen enthusiast, longtime JAFF reader, and possibly the ersatz English version of Miss Erstwhile, with just enough cash for a podcast mic… but not quite enough for a trip to Austenland.

Whether you’re new to JAFF or you’ve read enough Darcy reimaginings that the multiverse itself can barely contain them, come join me for a warm, slightly opinionated wander through the stories that carry Jane’s (and sometimes Elizabeth Gaskell’s) legacies forward.
