For better or worse, I signed up to do some more Big Bangs.
At the moment, it's looking like there's going to be two Big Bangs for the Kradam Big Bang challenge, but I'm not going to be starting those until I'm finished the one that I'm working on now.
Back in March last year, I signed up to do the History Big Bang. 10,000 words in a year. That's totally doable, right? Yeah... I finally started it while I was on my Christmas holidays. So far, I'm not doing too badly. I'm over 10,000 words at the moment and I'm about half way through-ish and I'm aiming to get it finished by the end of January. It's a side story to last years Kradam Big Bang story, The Highest of Seas, The Lowest of Men.
Tails of the Captain’s Daughter
The worth of a man is in his ability to survive.
Lieutenant Bradley Bell is heir to a proud family tradition of loyal service in the British Navy with more salt-water than blood in his veins. Unfortunately the Navy proves to be no place for a free spirit with wits as sharp as his blade. Trapped on a ship with a sadistic Captain and a corrupt Marine Major, Brad finds himself eager for a new career.
The villainous pirate Captain Adam Lambert earnt his title with cunning and ruthless determination, and more than a small amount of luck. He has a keen eye for treasure but when Fate brings him a wounded though fierce Lieutenant instead of riches and gold, will both their prayers be answered?
In short, it's the story of how Brad came to be on board The Madness. But at the moment, I'm waiting for someone to claim the summary. Claiming has been very slow, but that's always a problem with multi-fandom communities. So, if you know people who might be willing to claim it, throw them the
link? Please?
After that, I'm going to be working on the second part of The Highest of Seas, The Lowest of Men. It's time to get the boys back together and give them their happy-ever-after. So far, I'm happy with what's coming out in terms of the story, but it's looking like it's going to be another long story.
And just for a little variation, Ara has managed to convince me that Silver Bullets and Circuitry needs a sequel. *grin* We've got a few ideas kicking around but we need to sit down and properly work out which of the many future stories for the boys we're going to tell. It's going to be fun!
