Spent day writing Gentlemen of Fortune (3 new pages! Whee!), reading POTC fic, working on my essay, and trying to find a place to dig in spring. You know, the reason I never write a lot of angst is that after a few pages of it, I can't stand it any longer and have to write in a few jokes... this perhaps makes me perfect to write a life history of Jack Sparrow...
Am trying to resist the siren call of more icons... Must. be. firm.
In other news, for anyone writing in the potc fandom, 'bloody' was a seriously rude word in the 1700's, mates, and wasn't transformed into the mild swear word it is today until after the Victorian age. A gentleman wouldn't be caught dead saying it, and a proper lady probably would faint at hearing it. Of course, it's fine for pirates to be bandying it about, but if they're listeners aren't pirates themselves they're bound to be shocked.
