Disclaimer: Now, do you honestly think Jane Austen had Internet? Do you honestly think she's still ALIVE? Do you honestly think that we are Jane Austen? Do you honestly think that someone other than Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice? If your answer to any of the above questions is 'yes', then it is my sad, but bounden duty to declare you delusional.

A/N: Hey guys, this is slam a revolving door here. The story below was not written solely by me, although the disclaimer above was. (recognise my craziness, anyone?) I just thought that perhaps it would be interesting to assign a single person some characters and see how the characters interact with each other. In role, of course. The following story must be accredited to:

Just so we can get tips individually on how to improve, if you have any comments regarding specific characters etc. can you please make a reference to them? But general comments are fine too. PLEASE review! This is our first fanfiction together. Your reaction to this one will decide whether we do more.

Email address don't seem to show up on here. So I'll modify them until they do. I'll FORCE them to. :D

Rupert, a.k.a. Wickham's name is subject to change. Soon. :D

Btw, any similarities to TECHNO is purely coincidental. Well, not so, considering they're based on the same story. And I like mixed genres.

Hope you like this!

Re: Hey!

How are you? How's life with her majesty? 

Gemma emailed me the other day asking to borrow a skirt and told me about the new neighbours. Mum taken the 'welcome wagon' over yet? Poor you!

Anyway, not much has changed here…my tutor – Andy – still as stuck up as ever. Oh and there's a new guy in my class. Rupert Wickham…he's really witty, intelligent…and pretty much perfect. sigh He's nice, but you wouldn't like him 

Anyway, I have to go. Tell mum that I'll be over for dinner on Sunday.

I'll see you then

Dani

Re: Hey!

Hello Dani,

I'm fine. Mother is fine. I know you're only joking, but it is rude to refer to Mother in such flippant tones. But I know you're only joking, so that's all right. Just don't refer to her like that in public.

Yes, I have met the new neighbours. They are extremely friendly. The new owner of the apartment is Charlie. He moved in with his sister and his friend. His sister and friend are not here yet. I think Charlie's friend was still at his university campus. Arabella (Charlie's sister) is at a friend's house until Monday. You won't get to meet her, unfortunately.

I'm sure there's something nice you can say about Andy. (Speaking of which, Charlie's friend is also called Andy. Coincidence, hey?) Didn't you say he was 'cute' when you first met him?

Rupert Wickham? He's probably a great guy. He sounds great, anyway. You like him, don't you? I can tell. It's a 'sister thing'.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again. I'm sure Mother will be delighted to see you. So will everyone else. Oh, and Charles will be coming to dinner, so you'll get to meet him.

Take care and God bless

Grace

Re: Missed Tutorial

Danielle,

This e-mail is regarding the tutorial you missed on Tuesday. I heard from Rupert you were sick, but you should have sent me an e-mail informing me. It's university protocol. The next tutorial is on Thursday, which gives you plenty of time to get better.

Rupert told me he would visit you with the work we did. However, I don't trust him, as he's so unreliable so here is the work we covered: Unit 10.2 – Task sheets 3, 4 and 5.

For your sakes, get better.

Andrew.

Re: Missed Tutorial

Andrew

Thank you very much for your concern regarding my health. Very touching. What I don't get is why you don't trust Rupert, he brought me the work about 10 minutes after the tute finished and even helped me grasp most of it.

Maybe you shouldn't judge him because he's 'poor', or maybe us paupers should stick together.

See you on Friday. Bright and early

Dani

Re: None

Andy, my man!

It's excellent up here in Brisbane. The weather is warm for a change, and I can actually see the sun. This is wonderful! J How's the tutoring going? Why do you do it anyway, it's not like you need the pay! Let me guess…for the challenge?

It's hard without all the old roots in Melbourne – you'd better come pay me a visit soon. Oh, I've…well, I think…you see…there's a neighbour…and…she's…well, never mind, you're a busy man, Andy.

Reply soon!

Re: None

glad to hear a sane voice for once. You know me too well, don't you…yes, tutorial was for the challenge. However, I'm wishing I had listened to the sane half of my mind. Most of the people here are of lesser intelligence and I've run into an old acquaintance whom I have no good words for.

Spit it out Charlie, you like your neighbour. Tell me more – I'm interested to see who's captured your heart. Speaking of the fairer sex, there's a girl in my tutorial, I find her highly confronting. She irritates me, but there's something else. I must work her out before it drives me completely insane.

Andrew

P.S.: I prefer Andrew – Andy reminds me of that strange dog you used to own.

Dear Danielle,

I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to talk to you much before your flight – your mother tells me that I might have a 'dreadful and negative outlook and life', so she's done well in denying me access to my own daughter! Hopefully this letter HAS made it through your mother's hawk eyes…she'll probably roast me if she finds that I wrote a letter to you without her approval.

I'm happy that you've decided to go to University in Melbourne. Some of the finest courses there. And, as our…what shall I say…most sensible daughter, I don't feel the education will be wasted. Soon, there will be me AND you – that makes two sensible people in this madhouse. Besides Grace, of course.

Study hard. I didn't pay to have you sent down to Melbourne so you could party. But that's the thing I expect Lydia to do. Needless to say, she WON'T be going to Melbourne.

From,

Your Loving Father

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Dad

I thought it might be safer to write a letter back, knowing that Mum's watching the e-mail's for any sign of Charlie.

It's hard work here, but I'm alive…just.  Anyway, everything here seems fine, and no doubt I'll be brought up to speed on Brisbane life the minute I step off the plane on Sunday.

Oh, that reminds me I'm getting in at 4pm. I was wondering what we're having for dinner, so I know if I should eat anything before then.

Look I have to go to class again…I'll talk to you more on Sunday

Love you

Dani
