I can't just write pirate!fic.

Oh no.

I have to write H/C, sort-of pirate!fic that's also a farce. Like, a proper farce, with people falling over and coming in and out of doors unexpectedly and everything. I'm waiting for someone to throw a custard pie, just so I've got the whole set.

...

I'm doomed.

Have you tried reading some piratefic, to get you in the mood? There's some excellent stuff out there in the PoTC fandom

At 2,500 words in, and almost done, and wanting to post today, it's probably a little late for that, but I'll take any recs for goodfic that I can get :)

I have the uncontrollable urge to quote Gilbert & Sullivan now.

Except, um, I've never actually seen or listened to any G&S, so that will be difficult.

Instead, a song! "We are the pirates who don't do anything, we just stay home, and lay around..."

I can quote from Pirates of Penzance at great length, having been in it twice, and sung songs from it more times than I can count. I've been humming songs from it ever since Jades mentioned she was doing this...

"When I sally forth to seek my prey, I help myself in a royal way. I sink a few more ships, it's true, than a well-bred monarch ought to do..."

But is done! and in beta! *happy dance*

It's up! At last. It's an Stargate: Atlantis AU, but should be understandable even if you don't get all the jokes. The main thing, though, is that it's done

*falls over*
