No pirate's life for me...

ETA: it has been pointed out to me that the other condition, "more than a 1000 words per story", filters out a great deal, which means Black Sails is still below the 1000 works limit and thus still eligible. Yay!


The rules for this year's Yuletide: alas, with 1020 stories at the AO3 Black Sails is now over the magical 1000 fanworks limit to be eligible. Season 3 really inspired a lot more writing, which on the one hand, yay, but on the other, it robs me of a Yuletide fandom I meant to be request and offer. Ah well. It means I can nominate characters for The Americans after all, and hope someone will write either the Martha or the Gabriel story of my dreams for me.

In the meantime, here's a new Black Sails story I spotted this morning: a Miranda pov set during season 1, with spoilers for s2, though, so season 1 watchers who don't want to be spoiled beware:

Haven't looked in detail but might it not be under once you filter for works over 1000 words?

[misbegotten]

A story must be in English, complete, and at least 1,000 words long to be considered in that total.

By that count, there are 581 eligible works on AO3 and 47 on FFN.

I need to make some Black Sails icons.

Only 727 of them are over 1000 words. Fanfiction.net has 136 stories, (did not check word count.) It's still eligible for Yuletide.

That is very good to know - huzzah!

[selenak]

Excellent, and that would be lovely if you did!

[selenak]

the 1000 words plus demand saves the day, hooray!

OH my goodness! Miranda is one of my favorite characters and I adored this story. Thanks for the rec!

[naraht]

Yayyyy! My encyclopedic knowledge of Yuletide rules is useful after all. :)

First two batches of Black Sails icons up at oraclegreen. I may get to some more tomorrow.
