So if you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, you might have seen me post some links to my new favorite thing. But in case you aren’t or don’t, I will now tell you about it here!
My new favorite thing is…
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
I’ve been a fan of web series since Dorm Life (another one of my faves and a must see for ResLifers and #sagrads and #sapros alike), but this one combines so many things I love! Jane Austen, social media, and Hank Green! I wrote a blog post mentioning how much I love the Green brothers a while back, but I swear everything they do is golden. Including this.
So what is The Lizzie Bennet Diaries? Well, it’s a web series about what the Jane Austen story of Pride & Prejudice would look like in the 21st Century if Lizzie Bennet had a vlog (that’s video blog…). It’s funny and interesting, and videos come out twice a week. It’s also cool because the characters go on outside the little boxes of YouTube. Lizzie, Lydia, Charlotte, Jane, Caroline, Bingley (or Bing Lee as he’s known in the web series), and Darcy all have Twitter handles, and some have Tumblr accounts, too! Multi-dimensional social media classic literature adaptation fun for everyone!
PLUS the Bennets are gingers. So proud. #gingerpower
