Have I told you lately that I love you?

Dearest Darling Reader Friends,

I just wanted to jot down a short note, to tell you thank you.

I was contacted today from the blogging competition crew, and they informed me that...

WE WON THE COMPETITION!!!

So now, the Anti-Austens are going to receive a Kindle in the mail, which we will work out how to share...Perhaps we will take shifts with it...

But the Kindle isn't the important thing here, it's the fact that we won, and you helped us to do it! We got second-place for total votes, a mere 12 votes behind the first-place winner. But the judges were just tickled with our blog, so voila!

Thank you for being so supportive and doing us this enormous favor. I wish I could hug you all, but I guess you'll just have to hug your monitors instead...

Thanks Again,

The Coquette

The Anti Austens

We are The Anti-Austens, a collective of feisty, young Latter-Day Saints endowed with old-fashioned sensibilities (acquired through our Mormon upbringing and extensive reading of Jane Austen novels) trudging our way through the modern dating scene. Our blog was first created in 2010 and based in the Latter-Day Saint epicenter of marriage: Brigham Young University. Since its creation, the blog has seen many writers come and go, but those of us who remain continue vigilant in our quest for a gentleman happily blessed with our ideal qualities. For a few of us, that quest has led us away from our original hunting ground (BYU) on to hopefully greener--and considerably less overwhelmed--pastures.
