Author has written 4 stories for Pirates of the Caribbean.

Hello! Here, have a general disclaimer!

General Disclaimer: All characters/worlds that I borrow belong to their respective creators and whatever estate or corporation has legal possession of the rights. I am not making any profit. It would be unwise to sue me, as I am a young American, which means I have no money. HOWEVER! Original characters (as in, created by me) found in my stories as well as my plots are my precious, intellectual property, so please don't take them from me.

A (Very) Brief Biography:

I'm a mid-20s nerd for life. I write plays and (attempt to write) original fiction, mostly YA, sci-fi, and fantasy, but I love fanfiction. It's how I first discovered my voice in writing and I will probably never not write fanfic, even if I take my sweet time doing it.

I've finally finished my PotC fic, and my goal is to finish the sequel in a reasonable amount of time. I get sad and discouraged if it seems like no one is reading, so reviews motivate me. *If you follow/favorite my stories, please review them too! I want to know your thoughts!!*

You can also motivate me via my Tumblr, where I'm logging my progress and generally rambling, ranting, and sometimes bitching about writing.

Current Projects:

"The Smuggler and the Scoundrel"-- What happened to Norrington between that hurricane and his appearance in "Dead Man's Chest". COMPLETE!! (After way too long!)

"As Propriety Demands"--A POTC AU that completely ignores "Dead Man's Chest". A romantic fluff story about a plain, young woman, her plans to become a governess, and Norrington's disagreement with those plans.

"Flying False Colours"-- sequel to "The Smuggler and the Scoundrel" to be set between and during the third installment of POTC, hence, AU-ness will abound.

The Ring O'Bells by E. S. Young reviews
The former Commodore had not been thinking when he sought out the services of one of Tortuga's many jezebels, the rum having diluted his mind as well as loosened his tongue. An unconventional Whorrington.

A voyage of indeterminate length trapped on a ship with the man she jilted is not what Elizabeth Swann had in mind when she set out on her quest to clear her name and Will's. But James, it turns out, is not the stiff and starched man she thought she knew, and perhaps he never really was. Oneshot. DMC.
