I can't believe the Beeb are doing this again so soon after the other one
(2006), with the fabulous leads they had there. Much as I love JE, why not make a lesser known novel of the Brontes?

Delta40: If you want to, I don't see why there's any reason you shouldn't do it! Fanfiction is meant as an homage to the real thing (in my opinion), I don't think anyone could judge you for wanting to write about characters you love. Even if it could never be as good as the original, the idea and sentiment is nice.
Plus, there are plenty of authors who even make profit of what is essentially fanfiction, like Emma Tennant and her Jane Austen novels (that I'm personally not a fan of).
Oh I'm going to totally do the wrong thing here I think. Firstly my writing skills are not up to par in the style of Bronte. That aside, I thought I would write a little tale leading off say from the ball Mr Rochester held. And it will not be paying homage in the conventional sense.
Jane Eyre is one of my most favourite books
If they would make adaption of another lesser known novel of the Brontes, the adaptions wouldn't have as much success as the known ones!Originally Posted by wessexgirl
