Pirates vs. RL

Those of you who have been members of the Black Pearl Sails Yahoo Group are already familiar with some of the wonderful PotC artwork ladymouse2 has produced for us for the last four years, but now, for the first time, she has given us permission to host all her Pirates illustration art and cartoons at Black Pearl Tales, the archive website for Black Pearl Sails and Black Pearl Library. I am just thrilled that so many more of you will be able to see and enjoy her work!

Her latest piece is an illustration for florencia7's recent drabble, Marred Elegance (one of her series of stories that features Jack, Elizabeth, and their son, Blaxton) and holy cats, it's adorable!

Links to Marred Elegance and ladymouse2's artwork are on the home page of

Black Pearl Tales

1) Watched Napoleon Dynamite FINALLY, this evening. I really liked it, much to gingersnapps dismay. Guess you had to be there. Made the icon for weemonkey6 -- it's her favorite quote.

2) I like Daniel Day Lewis, but Johnny should have won. There's a cute article under the picture at right...

Speaking of JD, depp_daily has had so many amazing and amusing picspams this week -- certainly brightens my day!


3) We've had a spectacular number of wonderful drabbles posted to Black Pearl Sails (the Yahoo Group) and blackpearlsails this week for the 'Inch' theme! Many thanks to all who participated! A new drabble challenge will be posted tomorrow.



Good Night, All!

( The 15minuteficlet word of the day is... )

Many thanks to hereswith for the quick edit!

BTW, I wrote this using Writely, Google's new web-based word processor, and I'm liking it more and more -- many thanks to viva_gloria for the heads up on that. I went to the html screen, and voilà! there's all the mark up -- rather more coding than I would've put in, but still, it worked, and very conveniently. I use three different computers to write with on a regular basis, and Writely allows me to use any of them without worrying about copying or emailing the files.

Oh, and one other thing: I've been updating Black Pearl Tales with lots more fanart and reference sources for writers. I'm adding more stories, too, some of the latest ones that are spoilery for DMC (although I expect we don't need to worry about spoilers so much any more). Check it out if you get a chance!
