Rec me PotC Gen fics
Okay, I got some requests for y'all.
First off, my mom, whose middle school English classes have already read all of the edited-for-content version of "A Pirate's Life," wants me to put together a selection of other Potc fanfic for them to read during "silent reading time." The problem is, just about all of the shorter PotC fic I read is OT3 or slash--frequently NC-17 slash, and there's no way in Hell I can show a thirteen year old that.
So I'd appreciate any recs for shortish (ie. not multi-chapter fics) PotC fics that are gen or Will/Elizabeth and rated somewhere from G through PG-13. Preferably ones whose writers have ljs, so I can contact them and ask if they mind having their story printed out and shown to people. Feel free to pimp your own stuff.
Also, I'm stuck for ideas on a current fanfic project, and would appreciate any suggestions for something nefarious that evil-villain-type people could do in the Yukon around 1899-1900 (at the tail end of the gold rush). Something that would attract the attention and concern of the British government.

The "African Star" is great, isn't it? It's a whole hell of a lot longer than what I need, though. There's no way anybody could read that in one silent reading period.

Oh hells yeah. I'm a confirmed Erin fangirl. I love everything she writes.

No, but it's got several decent stopping points in it, a fairly fast reader could probably break it into two or three periods and get through it. It took me about 5 hours all total to read...but them I'm a speed reader...when I actually get time to read that is.
Thanks ^_^. Actually, I've read "The Elusive Norrington." It's great fun, like PotC with a dash of "The Scralet Pimpernel" thrown in.
It's on my list to read...but that list is huge and very slow-moving. Who knows when I'll actually get to it. :) I've read some of her other stuff though (or rather I've started to) and she strikes me as another one of the PotC authors that you can't go wrong with, so I thought it'd mention it.
