Once upon a time the prospect of pirates did not excite me. I saw Pirates of the Caribbean in the theater and thought it was fun but, really, how great could a movie based on an amusement park ride be? I received the dvd as a Christmas present and was actually a little disappointed. I look back on that attitude now and all I can do is shake my head in shame. *sigh*

A few years have passed and now Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is coming out and I am so excited I can hardly see straight! There will be sword fights! And daring escapes! And adventures on the High Sea! It'll be wonderful.

In honor of this momentous occasion and as a repentant gesture for my former attitude, I've decided to host a pirate ficathon. It'll be an anything goes sort of experience where a writer can use characters from any fandom or none at all, just so long as the story is about pirates, be they historical or modern.

And now, I officially unveil A Pirate's Life For Me: A July Celebration of Pirates (in Fic Form)! Go on! Check it out! I promise they won't bite, unless you want them to. =D

OMG I totally had an epic PotC dream this morning. I hit the snooze alarm three times so I could stay with it longer. Of course, now I remember nothing.

Curses!

Whee! You have made my evening! I am so doing this; I have scads of pirate stories to tell. So where do we post them, in our own journals? Ooh, this is such a good idea!

*bounces*

Yay! I'm so glad! I know you had a fairly crappy day (or, rather, downright crappy) but pirates do tend to help make things all better. =D

You have scads of stories to tell? *is excited* You can go ahead and post them in your own journal and then go over to the official ficathon post over at my fic journal ([livejournal.com profile] liptonrm_fic and leave a link in the comments.
