We're still really bad eggs

Meant to write tonight. Went out and saw PotC again instead. I want to watch Captain Jack Sparrow's marvellous entrance again and again and again.

Also, I've become quite enamoured of Commodore Norrington. He's not a bad guy, he's quite good at what he does, and he's lovely. Now that both he and Jack are at loose ends... I must say, Jack/Norrington bears thinking of. Or even some Jack/Gillette.

(And instead of usefully answering email and LJ comments or writing drabbles or such, I've just spent an hour making this icon. I have to keep going back and forth between the Gimp and Graphic Converter and it's such a pain.)

In other news, everyone should go and readdestina's post on fanfic writers and public critique.

For the record, I have no problem whatsoever with people critiquing my fic, in private or public. I'm not sensitive about it. OK, except for you people who told me that my badfic wasn't bad enough -- you made me cry. But everyone else should feel free to go ahead.

Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!

I think seeing Pirates for the third time pushed me from "What a cool movie!" to "Pirates are my life!" I expect it will run its course quite soon and, anyhow, it's something to do while I wait for Stargate S3 to arrive.

I'm sure most of these links have made it around LJ already, but I wasn't paying attention then. *g*

A Pirate's Life for Me: lyrics | mp3 ( 500 k, right-click to save -- I'll probably take the mp3 down after a week or so.)

Your pirate name. -- mine is Mad Mary Bonny.

Pirate flags -- and other pirate facts

I'm also trying to make a Pirate Mix CD. I only have a few songs on my playlist so far:

• A Pirate's Life for Me
• Barrett's Privateers
• The Last Saskatchewan Pirate
• What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor

Fanfic and empty promises

Two bits of a fanfic-ish nature. Answering comments and email tomorrow morning, I promise. Well, unless I have to watch Stargate before work.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Tactics, Jack/Gillette, PG13, written for the contrelamontre Line of Poetry challenge. (We only got 30 minutes, so this is pretty short.)

Harry Potter: Practical, drabble for the hp100 OWLs challenge.

And I've got to rec thistle_chaser's drabble Under Pressure, Weak Links Break. Oh, Goyle!

Share and enjoy.
