F&F uni: zombie!Norri   
08:17pm 02/02/2004
  One of several possible sequels to Fortune and Favor. This is affectionately known as zombie!Norri for reasons that should swiftly become obvious. I really like this one quite a bit, but I hit a bit of an impasse with it and have to think about a solution.

Length: somewhere around 4000 words.

How would you feel if your soul was mangled by a pirate? )

BADASS uni: Sadly meets Pearl   
08:35pm 02/02/2004
  Follow-up to A Fine Pirate Ass, written looong ago. Well. Months ago, which in my lifetime in the fandom is a long while. I will get back to Sadly sometime (I will I will I will), but I don't expect to revisit this particular scene.

I kept my eyes squeezed tight and held my breath, not wanting to see the world swinging by, not wanting to feel the (terribly thin) strap wrapped 'round my belly that hoisted me, jerkily, up and up and up. )

Moonverse: post-Currents, semi-vignette   
08:57pm 02/02/2004
  Wanted a mood piece of Norrington following Jack's departure. Ultimately felt this had some interesting elements, but wasn't going anywhere. At least not fast enough to keep my flighty attention. ;)

It was the fifth dawn he'd watched unfold since his return to Port Royal )

Moonverse: Gibbs and Jack, post-Tides   
09:32pm 02/02/2004
  At the end of Tides, a rather unsettled Jack leaves the cabin, ostensibly to check on the doings of the crew. Never quite finished this scene, though every now and then I dust it off and stare at it and think, "Huh."

It's more of a Gibbs-scene than a Jack-scene. What's here cuts off a bit abruptly, but the meat's all there. And as is the case with most of my languishing snippets, I've plundered it for lines and concepts I've liked, which have appeared in other stories of mine.

The crew of the Black Pearl had mostly settled into boozy slumber when the captain came out of his cabin somewhere 'round the mid of night. )

Moonverse: alternate scene in Drowning   
09:55pm 02/02/2004
  In the latter Moonverse stories, with the POV switching between James and Jack from scene to scene, I had a lot of opportunity to write from both perspectives to decide which one suited what I needed from the scene best. Sometimes I hated losing a few of the insights or observations that had to be sacrificed when choosing one and abandoning the other.

Initially the second scene in Drowning -- greeting Groves and co. on the Pearl -- was written from Norrington's POV, with slight differences in the meet-and-greet scenario. I decided Norrington was thinking too bloody much, so switched over to Jack. Who then went and thought too much. There's just no winning sometimes.

And why oh why did morning have to start so early today? )

F&F uni: another version of an F&F sequel   
10:12pm 02/02/2004
  Another F&F seq I was playing with. It's along a similar cheesy-but-fun vein to zombie!Norri -- y'know, Jack getting to ride in on a white horse to try to play hero for a direfully threatened Norri -- but minus the zombie part.

So many story-options! I think I have commitment issues.

He was nothing but a servant. )
