The Bits of Ivory board will close its doors on April 15. We've had a good long run, but the amount of traffic it now receives no longer justifies the amount of work necessary to keep it running. All of the completed stories will be archived and the archives will continue to be an integral part of The Republic of Pemberley. As there are many, many Jane Austen fan fiction sites on the Internet now, we trust our authors will find a good home for their continued endeavors.
We thank the Republic of Pemberley authors who have made BoI so enjoyable. Come to a virtual party celebrating the Bits of Ivory. There will be games and prizes and just spending together. The party will start at 2 pm Pemberley time on April 27, 2008 and continue until who knows when in the Chat room. |

JulieW and Farah-Naz have been working on a project to provide period maps, travel information and, where possible, illustrations for each of Jane Austen's novels. The first complete is the Pride and Prejudice Gazetteer. The gazetteer is linked from the P&P FAQ and, when all are done, will be available as a general link. If you have technical questions, please ask them at the Help board. Questions about the content should be asked at L&T.
We think this is a terrific addition to Pemberley and hope you enjoy it. |

The Chat Room seems to have become mostly the purview of spammers. When the Chat Room was set up 11 yrs ago, it was the new, exciting way to have "real time" conversation with friends. Since then, so many programs have developed for instant communication that chat rooms are almost quaint and obsolete, with more spammers than "real" people using the room. That being the case, the committee has decided to shut it down.
The chat room will still be used for special occasions and meetings, but it is now closed for day-to-day use. For more information click here. |
