The Island one wit the 2 chappies is soooooo hott!
I love Son of Jack too!
And the one where she is slutty is Nessasry Evils i think, because she sleeps with Norri and JAck! lol
Her writing I would qualify as 'OK'. I've read better J/E fics than this, and those people don't manage to slaughter the characterizations as much. And I'm not fond of the over-abundance of italics. 😄
I'm actually more fond of Dala1 , although I think most of hers ventures into the naughty territory of slash fic, and of course, honorat has some of the best written Jack I have ever read.
Are you into slash?
What does honorat write about? Just out of curiosity, surreal, do you ever read any N/E fanfiction? I know you said earlier that was your favorite pairing. Unfortunately for me since I'm a J/E shipper, N/E balance each other out well. Jack Davenport's an attractive man with a sexy voice. I can see that pairing now. But it doesn't change my mind!
Good Norrington/Elizabeth fanfiction is difficult to come by, but I have a few suggestions for that as well. 😄 Some of my favorites are angsty, romances-that-never-were fics with them.
On LiveJournal, jd_lit has some fabulous Norrington/Elizabeth fics, as well as other fandoms. I believe there is a journal entry there that will also take you to other decent Norrington and Norrington/Elizabeth stories.
Honorat has written mostly pre-DMC works. She's written a fantastic story of the three ships (in this case, the Dauntless, Interceptor and Black Pearl) speaking to each other. It's touching and sad, not to mention extremely well-written.
She's in the process of a mammoth story called "Crossing the Bar", and it has everyone's favorite characters, plus an additional face or two. It is also pre-DMC, but it's absolutely wonderful. If you can spare an hour or two a day to read through it, I highly, highly recommend it.
Anything that woman writes is fantastic, from her basic novelization of Curse of the Black Pearl to her drabbles, and she is a talented artsist as well.
Most of her stories seem Jack-centric, but I don't think she actually has a 'ship' per se.
I wish I had a really good recommendation for Jack and Elizabeth fic, but I can't think of the author names, and I have been searching for them for ages. 😮 Maybe someday....
As for slash...yeah, I like it. 😆 I'm fond of Will/Norrington, Norrington/Groves (so few of that), and Beckett/Norrington. 😄 Sparrington is good, but a lot of people don't know how to quite get Jack right, so I'm very picky about slash there.
And my all-time favorite threesome is Will/Elizabeth/Norrington, but there have been some great Will/Jack/Norrington. 😈
And everyone should ship Norribeth, because then we could all be disappointed and surprised together at the end of AWE. 😆
That's not entirely true. In fanfiction, J/E doesn't bother me so much, because a lot of authors sort-of manage to get J/E together in a logical fashion (usually the easiest is to kill Will off, but that's all right 😄 ).
My main issue is how Jack is written. I think he can be scarily focused on a person, but I don't see him as...being really soft and....sweet. Nor do I see him as being always foppish...
And a lot of writers make Jack so sweet and so kind of blegh that I'm like, "What is this? Who is this story about?"
So I'm just...picky about how Jack is written. Go read something by honorat, and see what I mean. She's sort of ruined Jack for me in any other fics. 😄
Okay.
Yeah, I've read some crappy fanfiction. Jack's a complex character, and honestly, a lot of writers do the same thing to Jack that they do to every other hero in every series. They take away his personality to make him an Everyman in a romantic situation. It almost doesn't matter who the couple is so long as certain phrases and actions are put in. They do it to the woman too, no personality.
Well, when I write my Mary Sue, I'll be sure to hook her up with Will, and Jack and Elizabeth can be together. Of course, the writing will be sub-par and the plot will probably not make much sense, but it's all good. 😄
Sparkle MacGhee is Will's new love interest, by the way. Don't you just LOVE her name?
