Summer of Shipwrecked, Day 3

Who is your favorite Poe Party author to read?

I’ve actually read something by all of the Poe Party authors. But my top three authors are:

1) Jane Austen. She’s my favorite author in general, not just among Poe Party. Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion rank in my top 10 favorite books ever, and the rest of her novels aren’t that far behind.

2) Agatha Christie. Again, she ranks in my top 5 favorite authors in general. I have read all of her mysteries and plays and consider And Then There Were None to be one of my favorite books.

3) Louisa May Alcott. Little Women was my favorite childhood book (I first read it at age 7), and I’ve read it so many times.

I answered first over on the hellsite, which is a sad commentary on where I’m spending most of my social-media time these days.

But it’s way more on-brand to answer here. I learned about Shipwrecked from @clavisa, of course, when she lit the raven signal on October 24, 2013.

I want to find a way to recreate the fandom experience I felt for Lizzie Bennet Diaries so much. Because there were two episodes a week and we had tiny snippets of each episode in the last, the community just built up this incredible lightning speed conversation about where it could go, and fics were written between episodes guessing at what could come next. 

And because we had P&P as the source we were guessing how they would adapt each part of it along the way and whenever someone got it right the entire fandom was so proud of them? 

And I’ve never felt a fandom feel so much like a community as when Darcy and Gigi and Lizzie went on the tour of San Francisco and we were all watching as their day unfolded through twitter! 

And the way they made tiny mentions of fandom headcanons (like the seahorses or our obsession with the word illuminating or the napping pods!!) just played so nicely, it really felt like a conversation between creators and fans, and I would do anything to be part of something like that again.
