Pride & Prejudice: inspiring fun retellings since forever

Meme text: Dear diary, I lied. She is totally handsome enough to tempt me
Loved by some, loathed by others, but you can't deny the staying power that Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice has, even after over 200 years. With countless retellings, "sequels" that speculate on what happened after the wedding (I won't spoil it by saying whose wedding), and even some pretty great movies and miniseries, there is a lot to wade through. So if you want to have some fun with this classic story, here are some of the best we've found...or maybe not the best in a "literary masterpiece" sense, but definitely some of the most enjoyable.
