I'm planning to have Christine be fourteen when she and Raoul last saw each other, sixteen when her father died, and around twenty-three or twenty-four in the present. Would that work?
Based on what I've read, the captain and the quartermaster pretty much shared day-to-day command, so Erik would help with that. :P
Fan-fiction tends to concentrate entirely on either retlling the canon events over and over again or on pairing the characters off without actually having them *do* anything, so having a story which consists of the protagonists staying in character while actually going out and having adventures sounds like an excellent idea.
Good!
That's one of my main problems with "Love Upon the Sea," actually. It has Erik and Meg as pirates, Christine as the governor's daughter, Raoul as an admiral, and Jack looking for a mysterious map. All of those elements could make for a very interesting story, but the author insists on sticking to the canon storyline, which doesn't work under these circumstances.
You do know what "white slave" refers to, don't you? ;-p
Unfortunately, I do. That was a horrible fic; I don't know what's wrong with some people. Though thinking of Captain Blood upon seeing that probably means someone needs to take the pirate-related media away from me... (Seriously, I love that movie. May the badfic writers never learn it exists. Amen.)
