No, no...feel free to clog away. P&P femmeslash possibilities -- who wouldn't love it as a discussion topic?
I admit I can't see Mary/Charlotte. But Lady C/Charlotte--now that is fun to consider, to think how to make it believable. I'd been thinking Lady C/Darcy's mother for my partner's fic (and I might still do that), but I can actually think of ways to make Lady C/Char believable.
About Anne -- there's such potential there. In the 1981 BBC version of P&P (screenplay by Fay Weldon), there's a lovely little moment in which Anne, portrayed as a pale, disspirited, silent girl, gives Lizzy a shy, tentative smile as Lizzy is leaving Hunsford to go home -- and suddenly you see that she liked Elizabeth and would have liked to have been friends, but of course was totally crushed by her overbearing mother. (Details like that are one of the reasons that version is my favorite screen adaptation, even though the man playing Darcy comes across as far too wooden.)
At the moment, though, I've got moon_very_thin's Mary/Anne stuck in my mind. I'd really like to go there...
