Black Sails + quotes from Luke Arnold’s Fetch Phillips series

(I left out anything plot relevant, much of which strongly invokes Black Sails. I know this is old news to longtime show watchers, but geez louise, if you thought this man was as haunted as the rest of us before reading these books, this man is HAUNTED haunted.)

some fancypants fanart! It's been some time since I drew him, so I wanted to do something with a bit of perspective, the lineart's a bit lazy but oh well.

I added the sparkles at the last minute, thought they would help to give him some more character :>

Simms: You can't just stab him!

Fetch: You would understand if you heard what he said to me.

Simms: What did he say to you?

Fetch: "what you gonna do? Stab me?"

To all other editors and ghostwriters:

There’s apparently this $2000 online course called Fiction Profits Academy ‘teaching’ people how to make tons of passive income on Amazon as an ‘author’ by outsourcing everything. They’re being taught to squeeze writers and editors for everything they’ve got for the lowest possible price.

The students have flooded Upwork. You’ve probably seen all the many listings for ghost writing with infinitesimal budgets popping up. STAY AWAY.

These people are trying to flood the self publishing market with the sole purpose of making money. They are going to drive the cost of work way down, negatively affecting all freelancers whether they work directly with an FPA student or not.

I don’t know what makes them think this is a good idea. Authors who actually write books themselves and publish with the purpose of sharing their stories barely break even.

Readers aren’t stupid. They can tell if your story has heart or not, and these people trying to pay $300 for an entire novel? There’s no heart in that.

So good luck to these students, many of whom are already $10k+ in the red. And good luck to the freelancers they’re bleeding dry.
