Captain Charlotte Savvy Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Hey mates, I be takin' a class in Storytelling at uni this semester, and for my final story I've been hoping to find a suitable piratical tale to tell. Unfortunately, my luck thus far has been a bit lacking; I've found a few sites with piratical fables and folklore on them, but all of the stories are a mite too short to be used (our time limit is twenty minutes, and while I don't want a story that would take THAT long to tell, I want one longer than three or four minutes). Does anybody know of any good pirate tales available online? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Captain Charlotte Savvy Posted June 11, 2005 Author Posted June 11, 2005 Either/or, *really* ... I can use a "modern" story (that is to say, a story that was written in the last couple of decades), but I don't want to use a story that some person wrote and posted on their personal website, either; I'd feel weird telling a story that I JUST found on the internet from a personal site. However, fantasy pirate stories (or other stories written by modern authors) are perfectly fine. But fable/folklore type stuff would be excellent, too ... any and all, mate, any and all.
