  abstract     = {Building on recent findings in the field of fan fiction studies, I claim that Pamela Aidan{\textquoteright}s Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman is indirectly influenced by three cultural phenomena which centre around Jane Austen and her work. Aidan{\textquoteright}s fan fiction text stays close to the spirit of Austen{\textquoteright}s Pride and Prejudice because she {\textquotedblleft}reimagines{\textquotedblright} the novel according to the interpretive conventions of the Republic of Pemberley, a fan community. These conventions demand respect for Austen and her novels because they are shaped by the broader, cultural conventions of Janeitism and Austen criticism. Similarly, Aidan{\textquoteright}s text is more individualistic and {\textquotedblleft}Harlequinesque{\textquotedblright} than Austen{\textquoteright}s novel, because the Republic allows writers to reproduce the cultural reading which underlies BBC / A\&E{\textquoteright}s adaptation of Austen{\textquoteright}s novel.},
