I saw a poll going around that said something to the effect of “What other fictional universe should we send Jonathan Harker to?” Well, I want the opposite of that. I want Jeeves and Wooster to deal with Dracula.

Thinking about how Jeeves and Wooster is a wish fulfilment fantasy in both directions.
Imagine if there was a fantastically intelligent person in your life who solved all your problems, including the ones you didn't know you had, and even ensured you were always fabulously dressed.
Or imagine if through what seemed like a small amount of effort to you, could make everything in the life of someone you cared about run smoothly, and you were getting paid a lot to do it.
And also you were in love.

If Bertie Wooster has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Bertie Wooster has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Bertie Wooster has only one fan then assume Jeeves murdered me as a last ditch effort to stop my unshakeable engagement to Bertram W. Wooster.

A fun fact about "Bertie Changes His Mind" is that Bertie's preferred method of daughter acquisition (viz., adoption) is one he shared with Wodehouse, at least partially. Wodehouse clearly didn't mind the "marriage" part of the process, but he never had biological children and seemingly had no interest in doing so (everything we know about him points to him being very asexual):
Tumblr media
Another fun fact is that he enlisted the help of his daughter Leonora on this particular story for the scenes in the girls' school:
Tumblr media
The "intimidating headmistress" archetype was also pulled from Wodehouse's real life, and this will not be the last time we see her in the Jeeves stories:
Tumblr media
(first and last excerpts are from P.G. Wodehouse: man and myth by Barry Phelps. The letter to Leonora is from Yours, Plum, edited by Frances Donaldson.)

When Bertie Wooster tells his Aunt Agatha that his calendar is booked solid and he's going to be busy for days and days, weeks even, these are, in fact, his immediate plans:
[Alt ID: a dog pressing its face repeatedly into a squishy balloon for half a minute in the floppiest way possible, followed by shots of holding the balloon by its tie in various places around the house as a favorite toy. The dog looks very happy but very dumb. A very good dog, sir.]

I’m poking at the idea of doing a Jeeves and Wooster fic and I know that getting Bertie’s voice right would be challenging. So at 3am when I couldn’t sleep I was going through one of the recent stories from the substack and copying down words and phrases he uses that could be inspirational. And then I fell asleep.
And that is why when I woke up this morning and opened my phone, I was greeted by a screen that said
Topping.

Enjoy receiving emails from besotted biographers about their genius associates?
Then have I got some email bookclubs starting in 2024 for you!

Tumblr media
[IMG A cartoon of Raffles and Bunny running side by side, dressed in formal suits and top hats and wearing masks. Raffles is clutching some pearls and has jewels in his pockets. Lettering reads Letters from Bunny]
But perhaps you'd rather take a little trip to the other side of the law?
Letters from Bunny will be reading the Raffles stories by EW Hornung, featuring gentleman thief (and cricketer) AJ Raffles and his burglar companion Bunny Manders, from the Ides of March (March 15th)
Tumblr media
[IMG A cartoon of Jeeves and Wooster walking side by side, Wooster dressed in colourful clothes and a boater, Jeeves in a monocrome suit. Lettering reads 'Letters Regarding Jeeves']
For something a little lighter, Letters Regarding Jeeves will be reading the uproarously funny public domain stories featuring chap about town Bertie Wooster and his bulging-brained valet Jeeves, starting February 14th.
Reblogs appreciated to spread the word!
