My Elizabeth stories
May. 18th, 2008 11:39 pmJust a listing of my Elizabeth stories from the almost-5 years I've been in this fandom. I was digging through what I had of fanfic in Memories and was surprised I'd written even these four:
Hatchling Rising, which gives one view of what Elizabeth might have done in Tortuga in DMC before she met up with Jack and Norrington. Told from her POV, third-person, I was quite proud of this story because Elizabeth is not my primary character of love from the series (I like her, just not as much as other characters). I think I gave her a pretty fair characterization, though anyone is free to disagree.
My Contradictions series, which is primarily J/W, features Elizabeth in a few of the 9 parts, prominently each time, usually kicking someone's ass either verbally or physically, and taking names. *G* I remember at the time a few people asked me: "How realistic is it that she would be training as a diplomat in France, away from her father or a fiance/husband, especially?" (Keep in mind I came up with this in either 2003 or 2004, I forget.) Well - how realistic is it that she's king of the pirates? LOL
My J/E effort, A Sorta Fairytale. I won't pretend it makes her look wise or particularly adult the whole time, but it does show she has standards and will not stand for them to be compromised for long without taking action to stop it. It also shows she's capable of existing without men and willing to take that plunge, hard as it is.
With Interest is part of a longer series that ends up being W/E and J/W. Elizabeth gets a visit from Bill Turner - she's shown as a mother and a pirate king, working in the duties *I* would think she'd have in peacetime, anyway, if she were to be a successful king.
