Pirate!Tim fic

[vespa331]

   So I've been sitting on this Pirate!Tim fic that I wrote for a drawing by Chien http://pikakao.livejournal.com/359625.html, and I was too dissatisfied with it to post it, but then I rediscovered this community!  Perfect!  Because here, there is no shame.  And someone will read it and help me, or read it and tell me to just let it die, or no one

For the first "canon" part you posted, there were a few grammar things I would have changed. But as usual, I have to warn you that I go by feel and not by any exact English law, so I'll email you some ideas when I get back tonight.

Oh, and I think I could use this as my front to break past this damnable writer's block. I don't want to take over your story, but maybe I could dabble in the idea? I'm not sure what you meant when you texted me, but I'd be happy to play in your game. Maybe origin stories or flashbacks or those vague short tales where you think you know which character I am referring to...

Heh, honestly I'm not exactly sure what I meant either. I think I had the vague idea that we'd go back and forth on it like Chien and I did here in the comments, but I really don't have time to give this the epic treatment that it deserves by tomorrow. So either you can write the epic (I know you'd do it better than me) or you can use the idea for your block. :) I'm emailing you the other ideas we had.

I'm at home now and willing to give this a go. :]

I do have a question though, is this a PotC cross-over because you mentioned the Pearl at the start. I'm kind of biased against all the PotC fiction (it's a me thing) but I'm all for generic pirates. Is this okay?

[vespa331]

Hee, it's not a PotC crossover at all. It's just generic pirates, I just love pop culture references. I named Bruce's ship the Pearl as a nod to the Black Pearl but mostly because of the infamous pearls that belonged to Bruce's mother.

Oh my God, I'm such an idiot. You know, I was already trying to think of ways to work in a sea-comparisson to pearls, and still totally didn't catch the ship's name for that meaning.

My "I shall never be part of the PotC fanfic crowd"-twitch is srsly messing with my creative thinking.

*sighs*

But I'm reading your email and I already have ideas. Nothing substational for plot, but I'm harbouring scenes I'd like to write. I'll email them to you.
