One Last Errand currently has 43 kudos but only 31 hits. I assume this is the result of a coding error.

Remember Amelia Radley? I don't blame you if you don't. I'd envisioned this sheltered young lady's world turning upside down when a corrupt official frames her father for a crime he didn't commit, and an aging Captain Jack Sparrow on a quest to regain his former glory is the only person who can help her. Jack would act as a sort of mentor to Amelia, and she would gently help him to realize that he's no longer the man he once was. The fic would end with him dying in a suitably dignified fashion.
Why didn't I write it? Because I'm not sure Jack Sparrow is the right character for this kind of story, and even if he is, I don't trust myself to write him in-character.

I can already tell I'm never going to get the hang of this tagging thing.

This is going to sound hypocritical of me, since I proclaimed that I hate writing fanfiction only five posts ago, but I was bored and thinking about how there would be fewer Mary Sues if authors based their OCs more on their actual selves than their ideal selves, and...well, this happened.

Not a pure self-insert (which is good) and hopefully not a Mary Sue, either. I almost feel sorry that I'm not going to write about her...

I unfollowed some people who kept tweeting and retweeting upsetting stuff on Twitter today. My timeline is a (relatively) safe place again!
I also finished writing Chapter Three of Ghost Ship. Unfortunately, FF.net is being annoying and won't let me submit any documents, but you can read the new chapter on Quotev.
EDIT: It's now on FF.net!

In other words, I just posted Limelight.
I feel like I should be grateful to Lady Rosesong for helping me realize it was okay to put the fic out there. I am merely employing a plotline that goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks. She ripped off a romance novel. I guess this means she is to Phantom of the Opera as Cassandra Claire is to Harry Potter.
I'm still not sure this was a good idea, though.

The original 1924 edition of The Boxcar Children looks more interesting than the 1942 edition everyone's familiar with; I wonder if it's available anywhere.

I wrote this one-shot. Alas, the fandom it's for does not have a category on FF.net. I don't know how to request a new category, so the fic will reside here until further notice.
Title: Kate
Fandom: The Master of Ballantrae
Genre: Family
Summary: Katharine Durie thinks about her relationships with her father and her uncle.

After more than a month, Chapter Two is up.
I'd promise myself to never go this long between updates again, but I know I likely wouldn't be able to keep that promise.

Due to a combination of school, vacation, illness, and lack of motivation, I haven't made very much progress on Ghost Ship. I only need to make a few minor adjustments and I'll be done revising Chapter One, but I really have no clue where to go from there. Actually, not true. I know where I'm going, just not how to get there.

At long last, it's finally up: Ghost Ship
If I don't receive at least one Raoul-bashing review, I will be very disappointed.

Turns out I have no idea how to write an action scene. At all.
There is plenty of information about how pirates boarded ships, but nothing about how they actually got the captain and crew to surrender. So I'm on my own for that part.
I've decided to call the fic Ghost Ship, for lack of a better title.
I wish I had more faith in my writing skills.

The good news: I wrote the prologue to my pirate!Christine fic.
The bad news: Now I have to write Chapter 1.
I want Chapter 1 to open with an action scene. I have never written an action scene before in my life.
Still, there's a first time for everything, right?

I'm not sure what to start working on first, the PotO pirate AU or the Eragon rewrite.

I am seriously considering deliberately writing a bad Mary-Sue fanfic and posting it on fanfiction.net just so I can watch how people react to it.
Save me.
Save me.
