"I want Pirates slash!  I want hot gay whalermen who cuddle a lot!  I want a tea party!"

"That's three kinks in one.  Darling, you can't have three kinks in one."

"I BEG TO DIFFER."

Holy smokes, I wrote this seven years ago.  0_O  For anyone who was curious, I dug up my massive multiplayer crossover between Pirates and Herman Melville's Moby- ( Read more... )

Remember the lost PotC fic I was seeking a few weeks ago?  I finally asked on pirate_hunters, and the helpful aletheiafelinea assisted me in finding it.

Here you go: " Sounding," by daft. NC-17, though be warned: all the smut takes place only in a character's fevered imagination.  A brief excerpt:

"...An' he told me to check the bilges, but there weren't nothing wrong. So then I ( Read more... )

Damn it, I've lost track of the most wonderful Pirates of the Caribbean fic in the world.  Funny to think I haven't been involved with online PotC fandom for years.  I moved on to other pursuits--it's not boredom, it's the fact that one fun thing takes over from another--but you never forget your first fandom and I had a lot of fun writing and ( Read more... )

So, Hamlet with overt gay sex is apparently A Thing at the moment.  This review describes a book in which a famous author writes Hamlet-plus-gay-sex badly.  (I admit I've not read the work in question, but it sounds dire, judging by the few quotes.)  On the plus side, this is leading to discussion of Shakespearean slash that's actually good (and ( Read more... )

"Silence of the Night" (2007) is a novella set in the world of William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land.  I actually remember reading this for the first time a few years ago when I'd never laid eyes on The Night Land; it makes just as much sense on its own as a standalone story as it does when considered as Hodgson fanfic.  This is to say, it's a big ( Read more... )

Guys, lignota  wrote Titus Andronicus fanfic for the ides_of_april  fic exchange, and it's great!  I almost didn't read it, because, well, it's based on Titus Andronicus, which is a soul-destroyingly cruel play.  If I'd avoided it, though, I would have missed out on something brilliant.  My curiosity overcame me and I read this the other night, and it's been haunting ( Read more... )

Now at last it can be told: I wrote "The Young Captain" for Yuletide.  Lord Dunsany's Sword of Welleran-verse, gen, upwards of 10,000 words.  It was immensely fun to write.  It's for lignota --when I signed up to do Lord Dunsany-fic, I had no idea that a friend had requested it.  The only difficult part was trying to keep myself from blabbing my secret in ( Read more... )

Ah, here we go: "Moonlight and Love Song", written by Anonymous for Teenybuffalo.  Short and witty, suggests a lot more than it says, funny but surprisingly poignant.  Enjoy!

Sorry I disappeared from LJ, you guys.  Blame it on finals--which are now done done done, by the way.  I'm going to miss my history courses, which were both awesome, but it's good to have their final papers over too ( Read more... )

[I'm participating in Yuletide for the first time ever.  This is an open letter to my anonymous benefactor.]

Dear Yuletide Writer,

I hope you're as excited as I am, because I'm over the moon about being involved in Yuletide this year.  First of all, thank you for signing up and for choosing my request.  I realize that I requested some rare fandoms ( Read more... )
