Well, that’s obviously part of an evil plot against me. 😉 But a lot of these titles were very helpful. The long and the short of it is that I’m writing a looooong online fic thingie and I haven’t updated in awhile. Everybody’s on board a ship in the sixteenth century, and I have not been able to whip up a lot of enthusiasm for writing about it again and going through all the piles of research. I’m kinda hoping that a good sea film will rev things up once more. ---
