Shout out for help  
Hello all!  I am doing a research paper for one of my classes this semester and I figured that this comm might be the best place to ask this question.  Does anyone know of places where I could obtain information on shipboard mutinies during the colonial period?  Any information at all would be helpful - there seems to be a dearth of research on anything other than slave insurrections at the college I go to, as well as their online databases.

Fic recommendation  
[info]lolitalockhart wrote me the cutest Gillette POV fic for Swag '08 on [info]raise_the_dead.

It's called, The Garden Party, or How to Decorate a Hat. (I'd post a link directly to her LJ but she hasn't posted it there yet.)

And after reading it you may not believe this--it surprised me--but it's her first ever piece of fic!

So go. Read. (Did I mention Norrington's rather substantial walk-on at the end?) And tell her you want her to keep writing!

fic: One Perfect Day  

Title: One Perfect Day
Authors: wicked_jade
Summary: James Norrington wants to give Andrew Gillette one perfect day; Andrew just wants to go back to bed.
Genre: Comedy, Romance.
Characters: Norrington, Gillette
Pairings: Gillington
Rating: Hard R, mostly for language.
Warnings:  100% pure, snarky, slashy fluff.
Disclaimer: PotC and it's characters, including Norrington, do not belong to me. James and Andrew belong to each other.

Comments are loved and appreciated. :)  If there's enough demand for it, I might consider continuing this.  The smutty boat!sex just wouldn't fit into this part.

Author's Note:
 Quite possibly the only thing I really loved about DMC (apart from the Scruffington snark) was Will's coat.  I loved that coat.  I still covet that coat.  So when I started writing this, I got to thinking...the only thing better than a pretty boy in a leather coat is a sexy man in a leather coat, right?  Right.

fic: Hold Me in the Moonlight  
Title: Hold Me in the Moonlight (1/1)
Authors: wicked_jade
Summary: A year later, Lieutenant Andrew Gillette is still haunted by Isla de Muerta.
Genre: Hurt/Comfort
Characters: Norrington, Gillette
Pairings: Gillington
Rating: Hard R for Violence
Warnings: Violence, blood, gore, psychological trauma. ANGST!!!
Disclaimer: PotC and it's characters, including Norrington, do not belong to me. James and Andrew belong to each other.

Comments are love. *sets out fresh Commodore Cupcakes*

Author's Note: I've always thought it strange that there aren't many fics out there dealing with the psychological impact the battle at Isla de Muerta would have on the Navyboys.  Even though the term post-traumatic stress disorder didn't exist back then, I think that most people who would live through that would suffer some serious mental and emotional trauma.  They would not just be okay. So this my take on what happened, seen through the eyes of Lieutenant Gillette.  This fits into my Once Upon a Time fic-verse, though this piece stand alone.

From Port Royal to Kingston and Back.  
I have a question for those of you terrible knowledge ridden people - I am writing sexy Beckington and at this point of research I am begging so bogged down in learning that the sexy Beckington isn't getting written - so my question is:

If Lord Beckett and Norrington had been invited to a ball in Kingston and decided to go, would they take a carriage over land or a ship over sea? I personally see a carriage ride in order, but if I am dead wrong, someone please tell me before I make another blunder.

Yes, do we all remember that time I blundered on Lord Beckett's tea? If I were anymore of a feedback whore I would blunder deliberately just to get my comment count up with people yelling at me, "NOOoooooo! That's not historically accurate!!1" 8^)

Any help would be "teh awesome." Thankies!

[Fic] Caught in the Act [Lt. Gillette/Elizabeth, R/NC-17]  
Title: Caught in the Act
Author: The me
Pairing: Lt. Gillette/Elizabeth Swann (yes, you've read that right)
Genres: Het
Rating: R? NC-17?
Disclaimer: Not mine, characters belong to Disney etc. Don't get no money for this.
Summary: Lt. Gillette would always find her; whenever and to whereever she had snuck off for that short moment of freedom.
Word Count: Around 5200
Warnings: Well, back then a girl could marry aged 14. I do not name an age here, so that's up to your imagination. No warnings per se, just some tame lighthearted smutty fun. Don't like, don't read. Don't ask.
Notes: Pre-CotBP, before Norrington's proposal, and before Elizabeth knows of her feelings for Will. Borne out of my strange imagination. The line for throwing rotten tomatoes is that way.

fic: The Right Shade of Red  

Title: The Right Shade of Red (1/2)
Authors: wicked_jade and mrs_norrington
Summary: James Norrington and Andrew Gillette, unaware of their feelings for each other, wind up at the same molly house. On the same night. Coincidence, or the work of a matchmaker?
Genre: Romance
Characters: Norrington, Gillette
Pairings: Gillington
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: It's me and Mrs. N writing Gillington smut, do I really need to spell it out?
Disclaimer: PotC and it's characters, including Norrington, do not belong to us. He belongs to Andrew.

Feedback is welcome and encouraged. *sets out fresh Commodore Cupcakes*

Author's Note: So, it's been awhile. Since I can't seem to finish anything I've been working on, and because I needed to do something productive before I go completely insane, I went back and edited this piece than mrs_norrington and I collaborated on...oh, sometime last September. Better late than never, eh? Anyway, she brought up the idea of James and Andrew running into each other at a molly house, and it sort of snowballed from there. We wrote it as a round-robin, with me taking James's POV and Mrs. N taking Andrew's. We enjoyed working on it, and we hope everyone enjoys it as well. :) This part links to Part 2.

Molly Joyful's List Of Useful Resources has been updated!  
Dear all

Molly Joyful’s List Of Useful Resources

has been updated! Many new links for you, on all aspects of life in the 18th century. Some very interesting links this time: figure heads, the history of toilet paper, Nelson in a jar, Nelson in a barrel, actresses in the 18th century, how to avoid hanging by being pregnant, Royal Navy ghostbusters and more!

As usual, the list is neither complete (will never be), nor can I guarantee you that all information on those websites is 100% correct. To make navigation easier, I've marked the new links with a bright red "new" sign.

Also, I have added two new categories, "Black History, People of Colour and Slavery" and "Living History".

If you should have a link you'd like to share, please post it here. Cheeyaz!

Available Categories )

Enjoy your research! :)

After lurking in various POTC communities since last spring, I REVEAL MYSELF AND MY (little) FIC. *is nervous*

Title: Cold Feet
Author: laliathiell
Summary: Pretty self explanatory. Tedders has cold feet. Andy is bothered at first.
Genre: Romance, Humorish, Fluffy
Characters: Groves and Gillette
Pairings: Grovette
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Groves and Gillette have already had their fun by the time this little tale takes place, so there is a bit of alluding to past activities of the night.
Disclaimer: No Navy boys for me.
Author's Note: This is the first thing I've written since I was 12 and writing Harry Potter fanfic. So, you know. Hopefully this won't make me cringe if I read this four years from now. But we'll see. =D YAY NAVY AND RIDICULOUSLY SHORT FICS.

Theodore, only your mind could ever come up with a connection like that. )
