Happy New Year, everyone!

Seven years ago today I posted my first story on the internet, the first seventeen chapters of Harry & the Pirate. I remember how excited and nervous I was, and how thrilled when PotC fans began reading and leaving comments. A few days later, erinrua, captain of blackpearlsails, found the story and added it to her great recs page, and then

Let's see if I can avoid sticking my extremities into it and/or my own mouth, as the case might be.

Is there anything more daunting than "Chapter One", that first tenuous step into a new world? And yet we continue to subject ourselves to that pain, and with a gleam in our eye. Gotta be love!

I understand and feel you pain regarding the Anglican nemesis, but then what else are we barbaric colonists to do? Divided by a mutual language is a terrible state of affairs... perhaps we should all become Canadian!!....

Tom does seem to be a bit of a chip off the ol' block, even if the block would prefer not to have to admit it. This promises to be some of your best yet, starting out with a strong touch of the exotic. 'Tis grand when all the research comes together, is it not?

Good stuff!! Onward to the next...........

Divided by a mutual language is a terrible state of affairs...

It's not so much the language, but this is set in England, London and Lincolnshire, and the only time I've been to the UK was for a two hour layover at Heathrow, lol! I've been reading novels and non-fiction about England most of my life, and hopefully readers will keep in mind the hand-wavy fantasy aspect of PotC in general and forgive any blunders.

I'm so glad you liked this first chapter. It was so easy to visualize the whole thing, and I'm happy to know there's enough detail that the exotic setting comes through.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I do hope you'll enjoy the rest just as much.
