A big thanks to geek_mama_2 to letting me know that I was mentioned in Film Fantasy Magazine: she has a scan here. Zwarte Parel would be me, the pen name I use for PotC fic. "Finding William Turner," which is backstory of Will's youth, is one of my own favorites of my fic in that fandom, so I'm really pleased that's the one they pointed at ( Read more... )

Another short chapter of the young Will story. Definite ficlet here. Not trying to be profound, just figure out what happened. It's on ff.net under Zwarte Perel and also on my site, down near the bottom of the page ( Read more... )
