I've moved past that "go me! I finished another chapter" stage, and am now in the "must write next chapter. Really. Later" stage of fic writing. *sighs* I can't decide whose POV chapter fifteen of A Pirate's Life should be in. I'm not sure I want to do Elizabeth, having just done an entire chapter of her, and I can' decide whether the "Oh Fuck! Will! You're Alive!" scene coming up would be more effective if done in Jack's POV, or Will's POV. One way, Jack gets to react, the other way, you get to see him react through someone else's eyes, and I'm not sure which I'd prefer. Suggestions are welcome.
I'm also stuck on which ballad to take an except from for the begining of the chapter. I've already used the final verse of "House Carpenter," the song that originally gave me the plotbunny for the fic (y'all remember, the bit about the hills of hell), and I was planning to use "I Know Where I'm Going," the full lyrics of which work surprisingly well (especially the bit about having "ribbands for my hair and a ring for every finger") until it occured to me that, since the guy in the song, like 95.6% of all men in folk songs, is named Johnny, it would simply be too evil a pun.
I may use it anyway, though. Not everyone knows the whole song. Alternately, there are still a couple more verses of "John Riley" that I haven't used yet.
