You have the FLAIR for world-building and look how incredibly quickly you did it here! Brava! And of course, blood blister! Heh.

aw, thank you! altho this is actually spun off from a story i wrote for my writing group, so the world was kind of already there. the pirates are new, tho. it never occurred to me to add space pirates until i saw the idol prompt.

>>And of course, blood blister! Heh. <<

one of russo and jamie's friends has a ship called the canned ham, which is painted pink. :D it's a tribute to canned ham campers. if you have to name a bunch of spaceships (or regular ships), you may as well have fun with it, right?

You have such a talent for science fiction, and I loved the way you worked the prompt into your story.

thank you! i like sf movies and sometimes tv shows but i don't read a lot of it, but there's so much cool stuff out there i should be looking harder. it's definitely fun to write, tho.

Very cool! The Blood Harmony is definitely an awesome name for a pirate ship.

[tsuki_no_bara]

thank you! technically "blood harmony" is the name of the pirate gang - there are three ships - but it really is a great name for marauders, isn't it?

This has a feel reminiscent of Firefly, which was arguably one of the greatest dramas ever created for the small screen, so kudos for calling that to mind! Definitely leaves us wanting more. (Fabulous "harmony," btw!)

[tsuki_no_bara]

firefly is the kind of sf tv i like so i really appreciate the comparison. :D i'm glad you liked it!

This was great! Iove the action and anything that's set in space is just 100% my favorite thing in the world.

[static_abyss]

Also, space pirates. Love space pirates.

[tsuki_no_bara]

always fun! i've written ships-in-water pirates before, but the space pirates are new.

[tsuki_no_bara]

thank you! i may or may not have been unduly influenced by a lot of star wars movies in a short period of time. ahem. it was fun to write, so i'm glad you liked it. :D
