For the most part this was really enjoyable. It was fun seeing someone completely messing up Pride and Prejudice. (Jane married to Collins? EW. Wickham being the good guy? Ha!) And Alex Kingston was fun to see as Mrs. Bennet. This was a complete madhouse of an AU, and I loved the Etch-A-Sketch shakeup of the story.

But...the ending was a very big letdown. It wasn't so much that I needed to see Elizabeth and Darcy get together, it's just it wound up sounding like a very bad Mary Sue fanfic. Of course Darcy falls in love with the character insert - the one who's been fantasizing about Elizabeth and Darcy's romance all her life. That was...disappointing. Up until that, I was kind of hoping she'd drag Wickham back with her to modern days and they could go clubbing. :D

So I'd recommend it only if a textbook Mary Sue ending won't bug the crap out of you. I guess I should have seen it coming since every guy fell in love with her, and Jane became an insta-best friend, but still. SHE SHOULD HAVE GONE PARTYING WITH WICKHAM. That would have been awesome.
