The Fanlistings
A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are), they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans.

Sense & Sensibility

This is one of the latest adaptations of Jane Austen's novel of the same name. It was adapted by Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice (1995), Bleak House) and broadcast in January 2008 in the UK in three parts, each part approximately one hour in length. It was a very beautiful production and starred a cast who excellently portrayed Austen's characters. One distinctive feature of this series is the young cast -- the actors' ages are much closer to the ages of the characters they play (as compared to other adaptations, i.e. the 1995 movie).

For more, here is a summary from the S&S site at BBC.co.uk:

Sense and Sensibility is a story of two young sisters on a voyage of burgeoning sexual and romantic discovery. Rational Elinor Dashwood and her romantic sister Marianne are played by sensational newcomers Hattie Morahan (Elinor) and Charity Wakefield (Marianne).

The death of Elinor and Marianne's father throws their privileged world into chaos. With no entitlement to his estate, they are forced to live in poverty. Although the sisters' chances of marriage seem doomed, attractive men are drawn to the girls.

Elinor becomes attached to the highly eligible Edward Ferrars (Dan Stevens - The Line of Beauty) - but why is he so guarded and secretive? Marianne attracts both war hero Colonel Brandon (David Morrisey - State of Play) and glamorous Willoughby, played by Dominic Cooper (The History Boys).

Do these attachments represent true love, or are the men simply amusing ourselves with our young heroines? With a sub-plot that features the seduction and abandonment of a 15-year old schoolgirl - not to mention a duel - the stakes are high.
