Lines. We haz 'em.
3. I was of a roving frame of mind, even as a child, and for years my fancy had been to set sail on one of my father’s ships.
4. Our flag was not a black one.
5. I hadn't planned to become a pirate.
6. My earliest memories are of dressing as if I were a boy and waiting at the docks, on the off chance that my father's ship would be returning that day.
7. As a child I always knew what I wanted to be when I grew up: I wanted to be Ann Bonny.
8. "But Father, you promised!" chided Nancy
As ever, all thelines were c'n'ped from the same document the same way; any differences in formatting are superimposed by lj.
I am minded to try the extra rule I proposed a while back, to see if indeed the bookkeeping is too hellish: that if you want to (it is by no means necessary), you can choose a false line and try to identify the author. If you are right, you gain an extra point. If you are wrong, you lose one, thus making negatives possible. You cannot, of course, identify your own line. To this end, it strikes me as only fair that I give the names of those who submitted this round, otherwise you may guess someone who didn't. That would be rather sadistic of me, not giving the names.
