It is a truth universally acknowledged,
that a single girl in possession of
all of Lizzie's faces
must be in want of
Bing Lee and his 500 teenage prostitutes.
I'm thankful for the Lizzie Bennet Diaries
for the best year on YouTube,
for making our Mondays and Thursdays so much more than just decent enough,
for getting me through my last year of grad school, for getting me through the week,
and for the tremendous kindness and care that you have given.
Thank you, Lizzie Bennet Diaries, for
making me despise Pepsi commercials the rest of my life,
for killing the fandom, episode after episode,
for introducing me to the wonderful world of transmedia storytelling
that I didn't even know existed until I started watching your show,
and for bringing nerd to a whole new level of cool.
Thank you guys so much for making such an amazing show.
Your acting, your writing... Is just... Totally incredible.
I mean, who doesn't love nerdy, dorky and awkward characters
who may remind them more of themselves than they'd like to admit?
Lizzie's courage to try new things and to branch out has
inspired me to do something I never thought that I could.
There's really no way to describe how you've impacted my life.
Huge thanks... Omigosh, you guys are awesome
for retelling a beloved story into one of the best web video projects ever.
Thank you for making something that'll never cease to make me smile,
for telling the stories in such a relatable manner, for
revealing the lively, playful disposition that Lizzie was always ridden with
but is hardly encountered in other adaptations,
and for making me fall in love with Pride and Prejudice all over again.
Darcybot says thank you
for creating such a wonderfully unique
storytelling experience that truly resonates,
for teaching me not to be afraid to change my own life,
for helping me realise that first impressions aren't everything,
and for giving me something new to do with my hair.
Thank you for teaching me to keep family close no matter what,
for all of the amazing storylines, story arcs, plot twists...
the friendships, the heartbreaks, and the Ly-Dee-Ah!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat.
Thank you for bringing the three Bennet sisters to life in a whole new way,
for giving us a character like Charlotte, that shows us
that you don't always have to be serious to be sensible,
for making Lydia Bennet a real person,
for making Lizzie a character that I could really
relate to in a lot of different ways, and for
showing me that like Jane, you can be kind, caring, *and* independent.
Thank you for Anniekins and for making Kitty a cat and not forgetting Mary,
for making all the "minor characters" so likeable and so human,
for helping me see another side to Mr. Collins and Lydia,
and getting a point across. 'Cause that's cool.
Thank you for Maria Lu and her fandom craziness,
for Jing, the representation of gingers - GINGER POWER! -
funny Fitz, and Team Figi!
Thank you, Lizzie B, for showing us that everybody has flaws, but that
everybody still deserves tea. Four for you, Jane Bennet, and you go, Caroline Lee!
Thank you for all the joy and laughter you've brought into my life this past year,
for giving me a lot of smiles and good memories,
for teaching me that I'm in charge of my own destiny,
for the great friends I've met through this show, and for
helping me get over my addiction to TV.
Thank you to the Lizzie Bennet Diaries for the slow but unnoticed by Lizzie
courting by Darcy of Lizzie in various visits to Carters' bar,
for not showing Darcy until Episode 59/60, and then only showing him
from the waist down, knocking on the door, right before the big confession,
for making me so Dizzie that I fell off my chair when Darcy touched Lizzie's shoulder,
for giving us one of the most romantic and hottest kisses I have seen,
and for making me look kind of like an idiot all those times that I went and
said that period romances were boring and "not my thing."
...They obviously were.
Thanks, peach, for describing Darcy as a force of nature,
for all the adorbs, for Jane!Darcy, for cool hats and bow ties,
and costume theatre.
Thank you for inspiring the formation of an awesome community of people,
and the best fandom a girl could ask for.
Thank you for everything.
It was illuminating... From "Hi, my name is Lizzie Bennet,"
and we love you so very much.
