A simple story. Just use the line of the writer above you and then incorporate your own. Just one sentence. Maybe we get a story going yet . . . The blood pooled at his feet causing the deck to look eerily dark in the moonlight.

chapter 1 - the stow away the life of a mouse is seldom a long, or happy one, unless you happen to be me. i live aboard a pirate ship, but i'm getting ahead of my story. my name is thomas and i was born a humble field mouse. i had the misfortune, or rather the good fortune, of stowing away in a barrel of apples. stowing away in that barrel would change my life forever. the barrel was bound for the sea witch, a fine pirate ship, and my soon to be new home. the barrel, and i, traveled by wagon to the port where the sea witch was docked. I nibbled a large hole in one apple, in that barrel, and i crawled inside that apple to rest. while i was resting, someone decided to r…

This is a pirate roleplay set during the 1660s in the carribbean, anyone is welcome to participate, that being said, Here is the begining. Shadows danced accross the rooftops of Santiago, yet there was little light to cast them, as no moon hung in the sky. A Black shape pulled into the harbor and dropped anchor, a longboat was launched, when it arrived on shore, a tall figure standing at the bow walked into the nearest tavern, not even waiting for his men to fallow. He drew his cutlass, kicked open the door and bellowed "Where is that dog El Torro! He betrayed me to the dons and I shall have his head for it!"

I haven't gotten much feedback on this elsewhere, but now that I'm back here, this seems like the perfect place for it. He awoke, bleary eyed, to the sound of the ships bell ringing. Lying in his hammock, his eyes focused upon the wood planking above him. "Welcome to the waking world, Jack." To his right, his friend Colton was sitting on his sea chest, slipping on his boots. His boarding axe was sitting next to him. "Not exactly nice to be here." he replied groggily. Colton laughed a bit, "Too much rum last night?" "No such thing" he insisted, as a faint smile flashed across his face. "You've picked a fine day to sleep late!" Martin said, chastising Jack as he appr…

Ahoy, fellow Pirates, privateers and buccaneers (or dreamers, like me!). I have been lurking around this forum for quite some time now, and have finally got the courage to join as a member, and to begin posting. For a few years, I have been working on a novel based loosely on what we know of Anne Bonny. No title yet, it will come in time. In the mean time, I would like to humbly offer my prologue and my first chapter for dissection, opinion and advice to you all. I know I need to work on period language, clothing etc, and I will. Please kindly enjoy, and let me know what you think. Warmest regards to you all, Jacqui. ---- PROLOUGE The waves grew around her, cras…

I am currently working on writing a pirate/fantasy novel, hopefully a series, set in a parrellel world in the Golden Age of Pirates and I need to fill some character space, if anyone is interested in making a cameo in it I'd be welcome to mention them in passing in one of the books. but I can't reveal too much about the plot since i'm a little paranoid someone will steal my ideas. But if you are interested you should post here and give me some info like your pirate's mannerisms, nature, what they're known for and theur their ship(s) and its name, class and armenement.

'Hoy, good friends. Let me first start off with some small talk. I'm very familiar and experienced with all sorts of role playing, but I'm not quite known with this forum's policy, even though I've read the guidelines o'course So beggin' yer pardon in avance if I do anything wrong - I'll buy ye a drink if I do Now then, I'd like to start off with a type of roleplaying I happen te prefer most. The story The Aqua Vitae: for so long mankind has been intrigued by this mythical drink that would give whoever drinks it eternal life. But it was nothing more than a myth, a fairytale, a dream. Until fairly recently. A 'new' island appears to have rosen from the sea, and people…

We all fancy our Characters as being 'one of the best' and so in the era, ballads would be written about legends, like the 'Ballad of Captain Ward' 'The Ballad of Captain Kidd', and Blackbeard's Death Ballad. I figured anyone is entitled to one, so Why not write one for yourself? That being said, here is mine, if you have one for your character, please share, and if not, at least tell me what you think of mine... It tells the Story of Commodore Greyhound. ( I wrote it in the format of the Ballad of William Kidd, but it is ALL ORIGONAL The Ballad of the Red Gentleman My name is Ol' Greyhound, As I sail, As I sail, My name is Ol' Greyhound, As I sail, My name is Ol'…

Do you remember those "Choose your own adventure books"? You would read a story and then get a choice of what happens next. I got something similar you might enjoy. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jibs-Tales-of-Adventure-Exploration-and-Debauchery/212579662151879

Dead Rose A Pirate's Romance Intro The story Dead Rose is a mixture of all kinds of pirate stories I read, with different names and a personal twist. Though my inspiration came from different stories, I still made the story myself. Please, do NOT copy it and claim it as yours. Yes, the main character is the very same person as my account. The story is much older then the account, and I made the account to honour the character. Some of the places or towns are also made up by me, and don't really excist. The reason why I made them up, and not just used real towns, you can read at my interests. Enjoy the story and respond, if you like! (The story begins in a new post, wi…

Alligator River, North Carolina, 1698 The rythmic dip.....dip......dip of the oars was interrupted only by the creak of the oarlocks on the dinghy. Two long canvas bundles lay across the thwarts on the boat. Sitting in the stern, a single match flared giving a burst of light to an otherwise moonless night. The passenger looked at the oarsmen instantly and found only pale eyes staring back at him. The blind man continued the pull, rowing the craft further into the swamp. The man felt the bundles, 'Still warm' he thought to himself. He prodded the canvas until he felt a wet spot. Dragging his hand across the wraps of rope, he felt the spot slowly growing. He look…

All Rights Reserved. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hampshire, Near Portsmouth - 1639 "Damn it, Jack, you're just being unreasonable now!" John Michael Wolfe was stuffing whatever belongings he could into a sea bag. His older brother, Royal Navy Lieutenant Thomas Wolfe, was standing over him, desperately trying to talk his younger brother out of becoming a merchant marine. "Define 'reasonable'," Jack shot back. Thomas looked at the ceiling in frustration. "Fine. 'Reasonable' would be you stopping this nonsense and going back to Ox…

This tale started its life over on the Pirates Magazine forums as part of a collaborative story in which I was/am participating. While writing it, however, it kind of took on a life of its own, and I am attempting to adapt it into its own, stand-alone narrative. Let me know what you think! HEART OF GOLD A Novel of High Seas Pyracy By Michael Sheridan Prologue Somewhere off the coast of Cuba... The squall had come out of nowhere. Hurricane winds and stinging rain, falling in sheets rather than drops, battered the hands near death as they struggled to take in sail and keep the ship head-on to the waves. Up they climbed, into the w…

Maybe one of my primary skills is to pattern (or talking big?), I think that is a good skill for an old pirate like me. You know, the looting ships business is more for younger lads, telling the tales is more appropriate for riper dudes. Unfortunately I am not a native english speaker. A few days ago I started to renovate me a chest (or a locker) to use it at future pirate encampments. While I was thinking how to alter an old wooden locker to my new needs I started to spin a backstory of this locker, how I got it, who the prepossessor was etc. And suddenly a muse was kind enough to me to make up a really nice story (at least I believe so). Now I would need a little hel…

Okay, I have been asked to start a PHSB joint thread, so here you go. To help the story along, post all of your questions, ideas, crewe members, ship's specs, etc, so we can keep everyone on the same page. Personally, I would like to see lists of crewe members on all the ships, just to make it easier to keep track of who is where, and a short description of the ship. I kept having people refer to the Rakehell's poop deck or quarterdeck, when she doesn't have one, so I think descriptions of the ships would be very helpful for everyone. Also, post here if you're going to be away from the story for awhile, so we can work around that. Oh, and if you want to whine about so…

INHERITING A MISSION John Henry Davis was a man in his early sixties. If he had been younger, he would have been serving in the war, on any of His Majesty’s Ships deployed in the European seas, in the Atlantic or in the Pacific, as he was a reputed sailing master. The wars were never ending, requiring new blood aboard the ships, and he had done his share. Now, he was teaching at the Royal Naval Academy. Better than staying at home and longing for the sea. Unfortunately, his late wife had given him only daughters, to raise a dowry for and to marry them well. Once this was done – and he had found for all three of them landlubbers, so that they wouldn’t know what loneline…

I have been wanting to do this for some time now. When I made up the slumber party I had thought to do this too. I kicked it around long enough so, here it is, the moonlight lagoon. A tranquil private beach. Keep it under R rating tho, don't want to lose this post. :) *walks along the deserted beach. The wind wafts thru my blonde hair. I sigh deeply as my barefeet move along the soft, white sand. I reach the lagoon and sit on the side, dabbling my feet in the cool water. The moon casts a white glow on the shimmery waters.*

I've found a secret door in Ray's Pub. It leads to a grand spacious area beneath the regular Pub. T' keep the ladies from sparrin' elsewhere, I've created the mud room. This room is heated folks, so there be no effects from the weather. There are only two rules: 1) No tossing the barmaid int' the mud! We gotta have someone available t' keep bringin' the drinks; 2) Mud & yer tongue is yer weapon of choice 'ere. There's a table by the door t' place yer blades and pistols. (Don't want any of our fair lasses "accidentally" run through. Ladies, there are plenty o' mud pits available. You can call someone out from another thread and tell 'em t' meet ye here fer b…

Never Say Neverland Wherein Captain James Hook finds himself harassed relentlessly by both the memory and the reality of Neverland. This is a story in sixteen chapters of Captain Hook's return to Neverland and what transpires when he gets there. It is the first in the series: Chronicles Of A Neverland Pirate. I write this story for no profit whatsoever and realize that Captain Hook, Peter Pan and Neverland itself belong to the Great Ormond Street Hospital, the rights to Peter Pan having been left to that children's hospital by J.M. Barrie. I intend on posting each chapter in a different message window under this topic, this being…
