A Request from a Graduate Student: Hello Fellow Jane Austen Readers! Have you ever read a published sequel to a Jane Austen novel? Are you a fan of Jane Austen sequels?
My name is Cliff Bryant, and I am a graduate student at Virginia Tech, conducting a research project on readers of published sequels of Jane Austen?s novels. I want to find out how readers came to read the sequels, and whether or not you like them.
If you are interested in participating in my study, just click on the link, and take the survey. It will take less than 10 minutes, and I will release the results in a few weeks, so you can check back and see how you compare to other Jane Austen sequel fans. (Feel free to contact me with questions at cliffbryant@vt.edu.)
(Just to be clear, I am talking about actual published sequels to the novels, not web fan fiction, or mash-ups like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – though maybe that will be my next project!).
If you choose to participate, thanks so much! Just click the link, review the consent information, then take the survey!
Thanks!

I filled it out. I get asked so many offensive questions about why I like Austenesque novels. I consider it my personal mission to promote them :)
<3 :) I took it as well!
My Favourite is Margaret Dashwood written in the 1930s by Mrs Brown –A very rare copy turned up in Horncastle the HQ of the Jane Austen Society Europe and home of the Jane Austen Society in the country HORNCASTLE ..it tells how Margaret grows up after Marrianne and Eleanor left home
I love the sequels by Rebecca Ann Collins. She opened doors for more enjoyable reading in the JA style. I would love to get a copy of the sequel Margaret Dashwood.
MARGARET DASHWOOD and her MAMA live still at Barton Cottage .
At Delaford lives Elinor and Edward at the parsonage and Marianne and the Colonel at the mansion ..Both have one child .
Mrs Dashwood takes in lodgers among them Richard Pennington a
naval officer who Margaret marries .
and is so sweetly and innocently written

Let me just say that I don’t like and cannot imagine zombies and Jane Austen’s novels. Big no no!
Aurora, Cliff let people know that he was interested in peoples’ opinions about sequels, not mashups, which is what the zombie books were. He will publish the results of the survey in a few weeks. I will make sure to post them on this blog. Thanks for stopping by!
I finished the survey and would like to know the results of this survey.
Reblogged this on Ella Quinn ~ Author.
My favorites are written by Elizabeth Aston. But here is also a mystery series I like. I reblogged this.
I just finished the survey! My favourite sequels (untile now) are written By Pamela Aidan, but I have to read more and more! I published it in a Jane Austen Italian Club, hopeing to beign useful! (sorry for my bad english)
Having done research as a graduate student, I am always pleased to have input to someone who is going through the process.
Bravo!
