Tall Ship Tales: intro, story guide, and links

[p0wdermonkey]

Tall Ship Tales is my take on Jack Sparrow's backstory, with glimpses of how he might tell it himself.

The five main tales take Jack from landlocked childhood to Shipwreck Cove and are best read in sequence,  although you can dip into any of them if you don't mind having to guess how Jack got there.

There are also two prequels, Shine and Names,

Thank you! I had a huge amount of fun with these, doing background reading and imagining Jack against all those backgrounds.
He's one of those characters who can have *lots* of plausible backstories. For instance, I love what araxastra does with him and could happily adopt that as my canon. "My" Jack is the way he is partly because I knew I had to do something different from what she did or I'd end up just copying her wholesale.

Because this looks too good to pass up, but I'm already up to my eyeballs in great fic to read! :)
