Anything by Jimi Hendrix. Or Led Zeppelin. No blues, if you know what's good for you. Why, do you ask? Well, they give me odd ideas. And bring me back to Jerry (Cindles knows whom I mean, right?), instead of Lucy Clarke. Or Mrs Griffin, Ramsgate Town Gossip. Well, I have to admit Jerry's infinitely more attractive than Mrs G. (oh boy, isn't he just!), but still. Better stick to those English country dances after all. At least till I've finished another chapter of Miss Clarke.

This is posted with totally no ulterior motive at all, merely to provide the JAFF readers with some light summer reading. The challenge is the following:

* Write a JA-related fic in 10 parts (or 10 short stories). Of course we won't object if there are more stories (or story parts). ;)

* Your story should be set by (or on) the sea.

* Your main characters should be Jane Austen's characters, or Jane Austen herself.

* Your stories should be posted in the months June, July and August 2011.

* This is supposed to be light reading, so there should be no more angst than absolutely necessary (maybe a little to keep things interesting). A touch of comedy will be greatly appreciated.

* Once you post your stories, mark them with "Jane on the Beach - "Story Title"" in the subject line.

Any takers?
