But all the cool fanfic authors were doing it!
I robbed Fluterbev blind! Muwahahahah!
This has been going around like wildfire, and I felt like maybe it'd work on my journal. Anyway, it'd be cool to read something YOU guys wrote. ;)

At the cross of the roads, the one legged man sat, dreaming of what he had lost.
It was all rather stupid in hindsight. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. He berated himself in time with the throbbing pain that seemed to ring through his skull. No longer insulated by the rum-induced alcoholic stupor, the full weight of last night hung on him in an almost tangible cloud of gloom.
He should have known better. The other men in the bar were letting him win too easily, pushing drinks on him too generously- they probably had him targeted as a sap as soon as he hobbled in. He had no luck in gambling anyway- as past experiences had proven. So stupid...
Wincing, he leaned gingerly forward in order to squint down the road, looking hopefully for a wagon or cart heading for the harbor. No such luck. He grimaced, someone was bound to come along soon. He'd catch it from the Captain if someone didn't come along soon. His shoreleave ended today and no way in blue blazes could he hop one legged all the way back to where the ship was docked.
It was bad enough that he lost all his money to those card sharks, why the hell did he have to bet his wooden leg anyway??

Ahahaha. :p
Me and my lame jokes. Bleh. This is why I stick to drawing and not writing when I'm feeling creative.
But hey, I tried? Please don't kill me for so totally contorting your opening line. ^^;;

*dies laughing* Oh boy!! I love the pirates!!! And for some reason, I just see it as a scene from Pirates of the Carribean. Raawr! Yo-ho, my hearties, yo ho!
Sincerely, I love the effort, and the humor made me grin. You CAN write, despite what you might think. hehehe. Peg leg pete without the peg .... wooot! Kinda remindes me of that Flannery o' Conner piece about the salesman and the farm girl. *nods* Stillllll .... *dies*
You must write more! If I have to cook up more challenges, I will!!! I really loved this one, and I would love to see more out of you, oh beta-extraodinare!~ :P
*pats the writing slug* We'll give your art puppy a run for its money. (but to be honest, your art makes me go squeeeee! so i can't decide which muse of yours i want to prod more!

me ;)
(See? The fact I'm still using your awesome icon proves that you can write and draw and are a supremely talented in ways that make me really frothing jealous. warrrgh!@)
