are there any everlark stories like pirates of the caribbean?
I’m not finding anything specifically based on it, but here are some featuring pirates:
Gunpowder, Swords, and Braids - SythiaSkyfire
Pumping and Blowing - sponsormusings
Song of the Siren - LavenderVanilla
Also, there’s a comic about Katniss as a pirate called Pirates of Panem by chistudios that deserves mention.
And you may also like this one if you haven’t read it already:
A Favorable Wind - Court81981
Rebellious-Victorious. :) All the questions except #10, since it's obvious why you chose odesta for that story. ;)
1: Whatinspired you to write the fic this way?
I ended up writing it in twoparts because it was originally meant to be one 40k fic for the Het Big Bang,but I had to find a natural ending point for the first half (Victorious)because I ran up against the deadline. And that was at 46k. Oops. I had been working on Treading Water at thesame time, and TW wouldn’t let me go early enough for me to tell the wholestory. It was always meant to be Annieand Finnick sparking a second, successful rebellion after the first one failed,with Annie coming to Finnick’s rescue.
2: What scenedid you first put down?
I generally am a linear writer,and this was no exception. The firstscene I wrote was the first scene of the fic.
3: What’s yourfavorite line of narration?
Victorious - Every man and woman inthat ballroom watches them as they dance. The tempo increases as they spin,break apart, come back together, their movements, their bodies perfectlymatched, perfectly illustrating why poets and songwriters sometimes refer tolovemaking as a dance. Finnick’s awareness of everyone and everything elsefades away until all that remains is Annie.
Rebellious - But Paul is no longer looking at her.“Annie, look ahead,” he tells her and she does.
It’s asthough a path opens up before them in slow motion. Before she reaches them, theboats that stand between her and where she needs to be fire up their enginesjust long enough to take themselves out of her path. And as the Rebellious passes, the crews along the openingway raise their right hands in a three-fingered salute Annie first saw duringthe rebellion that failed.
“Theyrecognize us,” Paul says, smiling, as a man from one of the boats they pass,she never figures out which boat, shouts, “Bring him home, lass!”
4: What’s yourfavorite line of dialogue?
Victorious - “If we’re old enough to go the arena,Uncle Finnick,” Rhys says, “we’re old enough to hear what you have to say.”
“That’strue, Rhys, but maybe I’m not old enough to be able to say it in front of you.”
Rebellious - “Up until last night, we’ve done what we had to do to survive.If we do this thing we’re talking about, then we really are criminals.”
“Annie,we already are. If the Peacekeepers take Mairenn, she’s a victor, with all thatentails. Her life will be hell, but she’ll live. Even Snow can’t truly claimshe’s done anything wrong. But Paul? You and me? I’m surprised no one has triedto collect on those wanted posters we saw in Eleven. We’ve embarrassed him,love. He won’t go back to selling us; he’ll kill us.”
5: What partwas hardest to write?
For both halves of the story, thehardest part to write were the climactic fight scenes, because of thechoreography involved in making sure I didn’t have one person in two places atthe same time or that I didn’t use a character that I’d already killed off,etc.
6: What makesthis fic special or different from all your other fics?
Canon here is a jumping off pointto tell a completely new story, rather than telling a story that fills in thecanonical blanks.
7: Where didthe title come from?
When the story was originallyconceived, it was supposed to just be “Victorious” after both the first boat Annieand Finnick steal and after the end result of their new rebellion. When it became two halves of one story, Idecided to name the second half after the second of their stolen boats andtheir attitudes throughout the whole fic.
8: Did any realpeople or events inspire any part of it?
Nope. Not a one. Not consciously, anyway. As theysay, any resemblance to people living or dead is purely coincidental.
9: Were thereany alternate versions of this fic?
No, I actually had this storypretty well mapped out from the start, although it was a bitch getting pastbouts of writers block and just plain distraction to get it all written.
10: Why did you choose this pairing for thisparticular story?
11: What do youlike best about this fic?
It’s a romantic adventure. Or a swashbuckling romance. There are pirates! And parrots! It was fun.
12: What do youlike least about this fic?
Parts of it are too choppy whileother parts have too much filler. I needto rewrite it someday to tighten things up. I still love it, though.
13: What musicdid you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if youdidn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to toaccompany us while reading?
I have a whole soundtrack for ithere: http://8tracks.com/sabaceanbabe/victorious-rebellious#smart_id=dj:2392783
14: Is thereanything you wanted readers to learn from reading this fic?
I wanted people to understandthat Annie is so very strong and that she and Finnick support each other. Neither of them in this is lost without theother, but they need each other and are better for being together. (Notice that I’m not saying they are bettertogether.) They can each stand on theirown, if they have to.
15: What did youlearn from writing this fic?
This is more in the vein ofreinforcement of things I already knew, but I learned that I can put together astory that has a real plot and keep things on track with relatively goodpacing. I can write a real, live novelthat people other than me might just enjoy reading.
Do you know any Pirate Au's? I've read A Favourable Wind and it was so amazing. Almost as amazing as you <3
Besides A Favorable Wind by Court81981, there is:
Gunpowder, Swords, and Braids - SythiaSkyfire
Pumping and Blowing - sponsormusings
Also, there’s a comic about Katniss as a pirate called Pirates of Panem by chistudios that deserves mention.
