Ah yes!!Hans Solo, now there was a fantasy fandango!! Myohmy.
I know Willobeth is the least favored ship but I can so surely fantasize about endless kissing til you just don't have the strength to kiss anymore with Will and Elisabeth. IMO, he's one of those whose fires burn deep, constant steady heat of his 'forge' for the steel that Elisabeth is. And, IMO, he has such a lovely selection of tools with which to fashion her white hot metal.
Their love, finally met, finally moved from dreamy thoughts to passionate actuality is a thing of beauty as Sparrabeth is. Different nuances, different rhythms, timing unique, but passion exists in those two young bodies--she could not be so much with Jack not to have that energy flowing in her. With Will, my guess is started slowly, he knows you don't form a fine blade in one working. The sum of their lives together, all the gentle kisses to the most grand, the slightest fingertips to cheeks carried through to embraces of deepest desire, working the fire in the both of them to achieve a subtle, strong, intoxicating love. Will and Elisabeth, certainly not the explosive display of Elisabeth and Jack, but nevertheless, a wildfire that wholly consumes.
Passion, what a delightful dance; passion, that which bends and turns and entices; passion, lust made ethereal and heavenly, stoked by the beings dedicated to it, ah, darlin' the gift of the gods for which we can all give thanks.
Where's that fic I told you to write? Lol. You're so poetic and I love it. I'm sure no matter what pairing you would choose to do, even something non-POTC related, you would have a wide entourage of screaming girls begging you for more. Speaking of which, I don't think sailorleo would mind if I invited you to write in her group fic where she is the object of Norrington's affection. I'm sure she would love anything you bring to it. That goes for everyone.

Miz WilloftheWisp, well, you have turned me 😱 --I spent 3 hours scribbling on little posties, now adorning my monitor like a lion's mane, and another couple on the keyboards making effort to bring her ladyself out of ....wherever she is busy doing right now. By your insistence, I may finally do that which has enamored me for the last year.
I'm thinking maybe in a while, if you don't mind and have the time, I'll send you some bones and see how to tweak it to be herself. Did anyone ever tell you this is WORK??! 😠
I love merrily merrily life is but a dream reading a fic--an utterly delightful pasttime, but trying to make these vile 😘 unruly letters twist and turn and macrame themselves to show herself and Jack for pete's sake!! I now know why pirates ARRRAUGH!!
So Wills, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for saying do this thing. I am glad you saw her too, she's enchanting.
I was being scaredy cat before, now, feels like adventure sez I.
Tex, I've published a novel. Yes, it's work, and when you're done with it, that's only the beginning. You have to get someone to publish it, then try and sell it, and if you're not careful, people can be really hostile to self-promotion. I myself am writing a fanfic on my own also, and yes, it's work. But I believe in you and I would be happy to help you with whatever you choose to write. I encourage writing like I encourage rainbows and puppy dogs and all things beautiful and artful. Embrace the adventure that is writing, and after you've written a fanfic, try your hand at your own characters. I'm at a block myself and am currently obsessed with my fic, so hopefully when I finish it my mind will be free to do my own thing once again. Just be warned, tex. You don't own your characters. They own you.
Miz WilloftheWisp, Yep what you said that's what I a'feared of. I think fan fics are a good place to begin, just like writing here has been good for me, honest feelings and words, lovely words. I have this in my head, I'd much prefer it to leap out my fingers and be done with it, I have some lazy bones in this old bod. Fat chance, sounds like...well, if I go to whiney-town, just laugh at me. Look up Terri Hendrix website--she is a musician here in Texas and she has been in charge of herself for the last 10 years. She is amazing, as you are.
I have to at least give it a whirl--see if I have the stones. My mantra--I will move towards those things I desire, not away from those things I fear.
Miz PotCfan2003, ta, dear one, for the compliment and sharing, good on you for realizing different is Otay!--there's spicy olders out there, rather leads me to believe your mom's also of the mind. Is the reminding in how she sez or what she sez, I'd be interested in knowing.
No matter the age, the gray hair, the wrinkles, the round belly, never allow yourself to believe old women be anything less than Elisabeth at her most vibrant, with her flashing eyes, her firey joyous self full of love and passion. Next time you see one of us, remember we are 60 going on 17. We all know how to dance and flirt; entice and savor--our bodies appear old, our spirits still sing out loud when we perform our unique rituals.
So, I'm feeling pretty doggone proud of myself--there's more like me!!

You've published a novel? Whats it called?
So, on the topic of willabeth, don't you think that the 10 year curse should be broken? It would NOT be fair if they left poor Will cursed on the Dutchman, and Lizzie raising her child... My sisters and I figured that Will and liz will only see each other like 5 more times in their lives if the cusre doesn't lift... and their child would only see his dad like 3 times...
there is a very valuable lesson we can all draw from this. never marry someone impulsively on a ship in the midst of an epic battle, unless you are prepared to be eternally sundered from them. it's a very serious decision, and any proper sailor/pirate knows all the bad signs that accompanied their love from the beginning. however, i don't think t and t are into tragic endings. as one of them has apparently been tauting, the curse is broken after ten years.
ten years is a LONG time, though. only a Disney love could withstand such a trial, methinks.
i just wish they would have built their relationship deeper during the course of films 2 and 3, if they were serious about having THAT particular ending and making it credible. i was prepared to see a willabeth ending in film 3, but I assumed they would have the decency to really show the passion, depth, and excitement of their love if that was going to be the case. with no sparrabeth sour grapes clouding my judgment, i think they missed major opportunities to make W/L relationship worthwhile. they had a whole film to make it work, and somehow, it didn't. for me, anyways. i can imagine some pretty great W/L scenes to show character and relationship development, and I can IMAGINE W/L being a really great couple that could survive 10 years of not seeing each other, but it doesn't match up with the couple i saw in the third film.
of course, i'm not trying to be cantankerous on the willabeth thread, i just got to rambling after responding to the last post... 😉
Even as a sparrabether, I have to agree with you Kate - I pretty much knew it was going to be a willabeth ending, and as such, I think the ending deserved a bit more depth between the two characters *sigh* - and I don't mean that in a bad way.
I think it is sad that the kid wouldn't see his father but a few times if the curse wasn't broken, but I don't think that means that he would be alone - same with Lizzie. I can't see her staying alone for 10 years (I don't mean being unfaithful to Will (*except in fanfics of course 😛))....As in the POTC Continued thread, I see Jack or some other male figure playing a mentor role for the boy and as a companion to Lizzie, she certainly would need it. She's lost almost all the men she ever cared for (Will, Jack, Gov Swann, James etc.) shes stranded on an island and pregnant, I can't see her just staying put - she's got to much pirate in her spirit for that.
Sorry for rambling too!
