I'll second the suggestion of Te's fic recs. I've lost many a fine weekend there. Yes, that's a positive reccommendation.
In other news, is anyone writing good PotC fic yet? I haven't see much over on LJ, but most of my friends list is Smallville/Stargate/Buffy oriented, with some Highlander thrown in for nostalgia value.
A couple PoTC recs hit All_Fandom_Recs this morning, but I haven't checked them out, since I haven't seen the bloody movie yet.

It's all in the pirategasm community, or lots of it.
Umm. Hrrm. Shrift had a good start, which she'd best better finish.
Much of what I've seen's overly serious, without the fun and giddy drunken joy of the film. I want the GDJ. When I find it, I'll come running.

Ooooh, thanks! <Scurries off to LJ>

Shrift probably will. Yesterday was meltdown day. Had hives from some strange new food allergy. Was v. bad all around.
Will definitely be including the disclaimer, in very large font, "Liberties, both historical and etymological, have been taken for the sake of gay pirate love."
Why do I always get the crazies for archive requests? I mean, yay, people like my stuff enough to archive, but still, whackjobs.
Time to dip your toes in other fandoms, perhaps?
Thing is, I don't watch anything else on TV. X-Files repeats, Buffy-verse, and the occasional "Trading Spaces" where I hope someone beats Hildy to death with a paint roller. It's enough to make me pay extra so I can get BBC America and watch "Changing Rooms" and the flaming designer with the chintz suit.
Connie, I never really watched DueSouth and yet found myself sucked deep into the fanfic. I blame Dana for being the gatekeeper to fandom-crack, and Speranza for being so fucking brilliant.
Hmm . . . cute and funny manly men being witty while they slowly acknowledge a previously verboten attraction?
Oh, dear.
