This is great! I love it :D !

I laughed and laughed when I read this:

Speaking of Pride & Prejudice, Andrew Davies’ much-admired script for the 1995 BBC masterpiece included a certain notorious bit of fanservice known to all Austen fans as “the lake scene.” You will note that this scene appeared nowhere in the source text. Filling in scenes the author left out of the original work? Not only is that fanfic, but over at the largest Austen fandom fic archive, there is an entire subcategory of fanfiction devoted to doing exactly what Davies did when he had Mr Darcy strip down and go for a swim.

Priceless :)
