Yaffe talked with Pamela Taylor, a Jane Austen fan loved "Pride and Prejudice" but wanted to know more about Mr. Darcy's side of the story. How had he changed as a character over the course of the story and what exactly prompted each action? She wrote a fan fiction story and posted it online. Michael Mogen, a father who had been urged to read "Pride" by his daughter and loved it, found Taylor's story and enjoyed it so much he sent her a fan letter over e-mail. The two later met in person and are now married.
