Yes, I am insane. Not as crazy as some, but insane enough to up my AF word count goal to 100k.

*sigh* May the force be with me and bring me chocolate.

Well, I made a FAQ for TPC. Feel free to post any other questions in the comments, and I will try to answer them.

Got the idea from beyondmountains's FAQ.

( FAQ under the cut )

I'm starting to think I'm going to want to turn TPC into a trilogy, for some reason. I was already thinking of writing a sequel, entitled The Pirate Chronicles: No Quarter Given for NaNoWriMo, but I'm thinking that would make a good title for the final book in a trilogy. Since I've decided that Francis' ship is sometimes the flagship of a fleet ( Read more... )

Only a few days left until AF. Wonderful! Can't wait, though I'm starting to get apprehensive. *sigh* I'll probably make it, though. 75 thousand words. That's a lot of words for one pirate story ( Read more... )

Bloodshed Smith, my oh-so-shexxay main character, and the only one who I colored. I have a reason for that, though: his red hair is probably his most distinctive trait, and I just had to show it. His red hair is pretty much what earned him the nickname "Bloodshed".

* Main Character=1
* Secondary MC=2
* Supporting Character=3
* Essential Character=4
* Random Extras=5

The Number 1's are the two most important characters in the story (obviously): The "hero" pirate captain and the ( Read more... )

Remember that short story I mentioned last entry? Well, my teacher's going to get it posted in the local newspaper. However, I have a question: Does anybody know of any writing contests that will still accept it after this, or, specifically, any U. S. writing contests that award monetary prizes? Because she also wants me to enter it into ( Read more... )

Okay, the more I think about it, the more I want to change my April Fools goal to 50,000 words on The Pirate Chronicles instead of that modern-day PotC AU. TPC has started to take over my brain, and I really want to write it and make it into a publishable novel, the sooner the better. I know the two weeks between now and April Fools is nowhere ( Read more... )
