Thursday Next is an alternate history metafiction novel series by Jasper Fforde. The protagonist of the same name is a Jurisfiction agent assigned to protecting fictional worlds from reality and from each other. In the first novel, The Eyre Affair (2001), she is responsible for (amongst other things) giving Jane Eyre its current ending, as opposed to a formerly dull and unsatisfactory ending.
Fandom
The Fforde Ffiesta is an official fan gathering for Thursday Next and Jasper Fforde's other works. It is held annually in Swindon, Thursday Next's home town. The first Fforde Ffiesta was in September 2005, conceived by "a group of dedicated Jasper Fforde fans [...] holding their first event, an interactive performance of Shakespeare's 'Richard III'."[1]
