Storytelling


Recommended Posts

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!

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.
