I got inspired by dogs after reading a bit of this thread, so I thought I'd share some useful links I've found! For a shortlist of 5 popular breeds in Georgian era England: https://elisabraden.wordpress.com/tag/dog-breeds-in-regency-england/ For a general feel on the view of dogs in Georgian England: https://janeaustensworld.com/tag/dogs-in-the-georgian-era/ For a longer list of dogs popular in Regency England: https://www.sharonlathanauthor.com/dogs-essential-for-a-regency-era-hunter/ As for Lady Elaine, I am absolutely toying with the idea of her being some sort of dog breeder that will come to be known for the exceptionally fine, well-mannered Skye Terriers she breeds.

You could write to Elaine about any number of things, and she would be delighted to have someone take notice of her.😄

I don't yet have helpful book suggestions, but I just want to say that I'm finally becoming acquainted with Jane Austen's books, and am finding that I empathize painfully well with Lizzie and Jane Bennett, both on Elaine's behalf and my own. 😬

I loved the stream! And, just found out my new roommate (Zeke) is one of your mods!

I have a large amount of Aida cloth and just enough attention span to embroider bookmarks and other small keepsakes. I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one thinking of sending little charms!

Totally copying @ Duke James Richmond, and making Elaine's birthday the same as my own! Lady Elaine was born on the 20th of June, in the year of our Lord 1790.

Hi all! I'm Montana, longtime LARPer, first time letter LARPer. I love animals and crafting, I have chronic health issues, and I'm a bisexual disaster. I'll be playing Lady Elaine Pedley, a sheltered noble lady who is looking for a match, and that is honestly all I know about her at this point. 😅 I'm generally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things I don't know about Regency England, so if anyone wants to throw some suggested reading my way, feel free.

Polyamorous, bisexual disaster here, though Lady Elaine is TBD because she's mostly a lump of clay still. You're definitely not wanting for pride flags in this crowd.
