Fanfic Ahoy! The Pirates of the Caribbean fiction thread

From The Very Secret Diaries of Elizabeth Swann

Day 1

Port Royal v. boring. Made chamber maid dance for my amusement, just because I can. Perhaps later will go into town, watch Will work up a sweat at forge. Something about the pounding and the rhythm just…I need to lie down.

Day 2

V. busy–started day with exposition-like dream. Forgot I used to be a kleptomaniac. Decided nothing matched new gown so well as skull medallion, became first Goth teen. Go me! Suspect Will may be prettier than me.

Ceremony dull, Norrington even more so, though bling-bling on fancy coat suits him well. Forced into impromptu cliff diving to escape marriage twaddle, though. Quick swim was first chance to cool off in days, but scraggly pirate dragged me onto dock. Situation improved as pirate removed underwear (mine). Moment spoiled by arrival of soldiers, daddy. Daddy always walks in and ruins everything. Suspect he likes to watch. Suspect pirate is also prettier than me. Must trade makeup tips.

From The Very Secret Diaries of Will Turner

Day 1

Have spent day moving heavy objects while locked in 110-degree room with donkey and snoring fat man. Tried composing poem re: Elizabeth, but couldn’t think of word to rhyme with “fantasmaglorious.” Still v. pretty.

Day 2

Stopped by Governor’s mansion to deliver sword for Captain Poncington’s promotion ceremony. Broke candle holder, but will be paid to fix it later. Go me! Saw Elizabeth, but father wouldn’t leave us alone, so went back to forge to beat living hell out of something.

Found forge infested with dirty, innuendo-spouting pirate. Commenced swordfight, got down with my v. bad self, but victory snatched away by demon rum. Taking consolation in being much prettier than pirate.

Juniper200 is quite possibly my favorite doper.

[teleute12]

Juniper, those are hilarious! I hope you’ll keep turning them out?

[Shemem]

I can’t believe the VSD of Jack Sparrow doesn’t end each day with “Still no ship.”

[Juniper200]

Shemem, I bow to your genius.

[Shemem]

Bwaha!

I have a fic that is a bunch of lies Jack tells Elizabeth to pass the time on that godforsaken spit of land: No Worse Enemy

[kaylasdad99]

Good Lord, what did I start with my throwaway allusion to the very secret diaries of LOTR?

So sorry I will not be joining in; I happily leave you in the capable hands of the estimable Juniper200.

[Juniper200]

Shemem, that’s good stuff. Very gritty. Now, write one about Liz and Will’s very different childhoods growing up in paradise. You have to. It’s in the rules.

Day2, night

In jail. Inventory of effects: still no boat. Am considering beating other prisoners to death with bone. Entirely possible. After all, I’m Captain Jack Sparrow. Am badass.

Island raided by other, less pretty pirates taunting me with boat. Bastards. Not sending xmas gift this year, though Bath & Body gift basket sorely needed by Barbossa & Co.

Killed time wondering where half-drowned chick buys accessories–am v. bored with bone in hair, may upgrade to skull medallions. Maybe Port Royal has Hot Topic.

[LookitMe]

Juniper200 and Shemen, I love what you two are writing here. Thanks!

kaylasdad99, thanks for inspiring them by alluding to VSD - LOTR. This prolly wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t done that.

[FairyDust]

Found one that I like.

Handpuppets doing PotC.

[king_of_spain]

Bwah! I’m so calling him Captain Poncington from now on.

For serious fic, one development I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the ALT+F4* universe - vignettes from what basically amounts to a cyberpunk version of PotC. No, really. It works better than you’d think. My favorite story so far is Felix Culpa - it’s got a very Second Renaissance feel.

*Link goes to the first story - others are linked from the author’s LJ. Some other writers have started doing ALT+F4 fic, but they’re all linked there.

Ah, well then, if it’s part of the code …

Consider it begun.

[Quantum_Butterfly]

YES! PotC Very Secret Diaries! ::gives Juniper200 big hug::

Keep 'em coming, Juniper! Who knows, if you make it all the way to the end of the movie, maybe someone will put them on their own website…

(dammit, I am well and truly sucked into the world of fanfic now)

[Shemem]

Wanted to mention, too, that I will archive for those desiring PotC fics that fall into a G, PG or PG-13 rating at my brand new Broken Compass.

goes back below deck to Liz & Will kiddihood fic

[Juniper200]

That’s a good rec, kos. I like how quickly other people have snatched up that universe. I’m having a tad bit of trouble wrapping my mind around how Jazz works, but perhaps some rum would help. Damn, gotta work tomorrow.

There’s a OT3 WIP called “A Pirate’s Life” that’s really sucked me in. Excellent characterization, and the girl does very well writing a sympathetic Poncing—I mean, Norrington–and (get this) gives Will a personality beyond his pirate/not pirate conflict. Here are links to the first five parts:

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five

Day Two, night

Huh. Totally sweet skull medallion actually magnet for stinky pirates. Live and learn.

From The Very Secret Diaries of Will Turner

Day Two, night

Huh. Killed several pirates–one with strength of bad joke alone, go me–but main street must be near spawn point, as pirates kept coming back.

Even unconcious, I’m pretty.

As a footnote, I’d appreciate critique on this slash snippet that will eventually make its way into a very long OT3 fic I’m writing. Probably won’t get the bastard done until the sequel comes out, but I can have hope.

I’m getting a 403 Error (Forbidden) when I try to access that entry, Juniper. And what does OT3 mean, please?

[king_of_spain]

OTP is a fandom acronym for One True Pairing. OT3 is a pun on OTP - means One True Threesome, rather than a pairing. (It’s been around longer than PotC.) I never thought I’d be an OT3 kind of person myself, but even I cannot deny the power of the Jack/Will/Elizabeth.

[LookitMe]

I’m also getting an error message when I try that link:

“You are not authorized to view this page”

[Juniper200]

Hmmm, I just unlocked it when I posted. I can see it when I log out…give it some time, maybe?

OT3 = One True Threesome, a variant of OTP (One True Pairing), meaning the pairing/arrangement within a fandom that pushes your buttons most.
