FIRST time at the Pemberley Ball?
Do not fret. In essence it is a kind of role-playing interactive blog game. What is this you ask? Basically, I (or actually my Regency persona, Lady Vee) will be posting festivities and comments for you to participate in throughout the event.
As guests, you are encouraged to react and comment to the posts as your persona character. You are welcome to be as creative as you like.
PARTY Crashers:
Are you undecided as to whether or not to come to the party?
Are you unable to commit the time to attend the party "live"?
No need to worry. You are welcome to visit anytime during the party weekend or afterwards to comment on party posts and enter any of my Jane Austen related giveaways!
UNTIL then join me on October 30 for ...
