In an effort to focus on my Piratical Happy Place, as opposed to RL which is verging on out-of-control, I shall post some Links of Interest...
fabu posted this one, this morning,
a really good analysis of why AWE got such bad reviews among critics. Makes sense to me.
Ramblings and Musing on Elizabeth the Sufferer, interesting meta that
compassrose7577 posted, and that I replied to.
More Harry Potterish than piratey,
celandineb wrote
Honeymoon for ME ( !!! ) at
felaine's request. Very cute ficlet featuring Ron/Hermione.
penknife posted a wonderful
commentary track for her excellent post-AWE fic,
Nine Pieces of Eight, in which nine of the characters of PotC meet up again with Calypso.
artaxastra posted a great
commentary track as well, of Cradle Tales, the fourth chapter of her Outlaws and Inlaws series, which I can't really say enough good things about. Read it, if you have not, it's fabulous writing -- 1
The Swan in Flight, 2
Outlaws and Inlaws, 3
Four Days of Advent, and 4
Cradle Tales.
Things have been hopping over at
impofperversity -- much slashy Sparrow/Shaftoe goodness has been produced in honor of
tessabeth's natal day, and the current long fic she and
viva_gloria are working on,
Bounty, is wonderfully involved and suspenseful. I've been a slacker about commenting over there lately, but I assure you, the writing is consistently excellent.
That's all for now. Hugs to the flist!
