Anyone want to rec me your favorite canon Jeeves and Wooster stories so I can look them up on Project Gutenburg?
Also, are there any canon stories that are narrated by Jeeves? Or is that only in fanfic?

"Bertie changes his mind" is narrated by Jeeves (and a huge source of slashy quotes - Jeeves, you're the best!)

Ack, to choose a favourite, ... I've always been incredibly partial to "The Aunt and the Sluggard". It's short but it's Jeeves-less Bertie. I can't help it. It gives a whole new definition to the word 'cute'.

I'm sure I read "The Aunt and the Sluggard" in a compilation I got off Gutenburg, and, although at the moment I can't remember a thing about it, I think I liked it well at the time.

Is "Bertie changes his mind" in a compilation?

I got the larger part of my slashy quotes from "The Aunt" (though not the juiciest, that would have to be "The Tie That Binds")

Is "Bertie changes his mind" in a compilation?
Yes, it's in "Carry On, Jeeves"

There's the one where Bertie has to give a talk at a girl's boardng school and gets eaten alive by the sweet young misses -Jeeves narrates that. Can't remember the title right now though. If no one else posts it, I'll look it up for you. It's one of the short stories.

Oh, I've heard that one referenced a number of times, both here and in the other canon stories!

I've only read Carry On, Jeeves as far as short stories go, but if I had to pick favorites........hm. "Bertie Changes His Mind" (narrated by Jeeves, as has been mentioned -- really a must read)..."The Aunt and the Sluggard" (if you want vague slashiness, here's a good place to go)..."Jeeves Takes Charge" (how the whole matter began)....and "Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest" (for sheer Jeeves manipulativeness).

As far as I can tell, there's only two up at Project Gutenberg:

My Man Jeeves (http://www.gutenberg.net/etext/8164)
Right Ho, Jeeves (http://www.gutenberg.net/etext/10554)
although Death at the Excelsior (http://www.gutenberg.net/etext/8176) has two J&W stories.

Am very much enjoying "The Tie That Binds" at the moment. It's up on the web somewhere as "Much Obliged, Jeeves". This is the one with *the* famous slashy comment...

There's so many. Which is 'the' particular famous slashy comment?

"The club book was never intended to be light and titilating reading for the memebers. Its function is solely to acquaint those who are contemplating taking new posts with the foibles of prospective employers. This being so, there is no need for the record contained in the eighteen pages in which you figure. For I may hope, may I not, sir, that you will allow me to remain permanently in your service?"

"You may indeed, Jeeves. It often beats me, though, why with your superlative gifts you should want to."

"There is a tie that binds, sir."

"A what that whats?"

"A tie that binds, sir."

"Then heaven bless it, and may it continue to bind indefinately. Fate's happenstance may oft win more than toil, as the fellow said."

"What fellow would that be, sir? Thoreau?"

"No, me."

"Sir?"

"A little thing of my own. I don't know what it means, but you can take it as coming straight from the heart."

"Very good, sir."
