I am a Dutch male, who became involved with Anne in 1999, trough family in Canada and some Inspiration and Optimism very much needed at that time in our families.
I was active in the old Anne3-forum, which was connected with Sullivan's own webstite.
Some forumbuddies are still on my Fb-list these days.
Just for a joke, I started a fanfic-story in the forum around 2007 based on Katherine Brooke.
A forumfriend, ( still in my FB too), from Detroit liked the idea and joined.
Communicating by e-mail, we made up the story together. Katherines says in the books she wants to travel. Well, we made her travel !
From Canada on the ship to England, to France, to Austria and to the area above Amsterdam, where I live. We had a lot of fun with that, and we really had an average of 245 readings a day !
There was a gap of 2 years, where we both were too much involved in reality to be able to write.
In the end, I was able to finish the story, making her travel to India, ( I have never been there...), and back to Canada. Married with...Morgan Harris, Gilbert's rival for Anne's heart.
It was never the LMM-level, but we learned a lot with it.
And last but not least, Katherine herself:
It started as a joke, but very soon Katherine became a real person, a lady demanding respect and to be taken serious.
And still i find her an inspirating character in the Anne-books.
( I did that again in a Dutch forum, in the closed section, with Mary Bennet from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice )
