“Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” is pure fan fiction, in the best way. "Fan fiction" is often used as a bit of a derogatory word when reviewing new approaches to classic stories, but it shouldn't be. Many writers who grew up in the online fan fiction communities from 2000 to 2010 are telling stories now, and their methods are becoming regularized, refined. Telling versions of classic stories in new ways, in ways that feel fun and meaningful, is storytelling unto itself. Although it often incorporates parody or irony, fan fiction's strength is that it is foremost steeped in a love for the original material, and that genuine connection makes it possible to tell new stories.
