Acknowledgments

I would like to thank the entire team at Ulysses Press: Keith, Bryce, Alice, Claire, Karma, and various people whom I'm sure had an unseen hand (from my perspective) in the creation of this anthology.

I would also like to give a special thanks to Victoria Claughton for creating the searchable Jane Austen fan fiction index, and therefore cutting down my work by about a thousand hours. She also provided help contacting authors I could not reach myself.

Finally, this could not have happened but for the inspiration from the great Jane Austen herself. In this book we are proud to honor her literary legacy in our own weird ways.
