Fangirl Confessions | The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

If you’ve never seen it, you’d be in the same place I was in at the height of the vlog-style web series. Despite its popularity, and the fact that everyone (or it seemed so) on my Twitter timeline was gushing over its charms, I refused to watch it. For no reason in particular except that I didn’t really want to be pulled into another fangirl addiction. 

Time did pass, and still I didn’t click the big red “play” button. Until, finally I did. 

The rest, as they say, is history. I was addicted. 

*Also, it’s worth noting, I still swoon when I see a certain gif with the hashtag #Dizzie.

And also, could this cast please reprise their roles for a kind of reunion series? This is a thing in today’s entertainment culture.

At the time, the social media scene was alight with anticipation for each new installment. And while numerous bookworm friends were gushing over this web series (spun off of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice), I abstained. Months went by and still, I refused to be sucked into that pop culture vortex. And, in fact, it wasn’t until months after that first installment until finally, I caved. I hit the big red arrow button on its Youtube channel and settled in for the first installment of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Continue Reading on Silver Petticoat →
