Ask "why?"

For a friend in POTC fandom who has been asking me of late, "Why can't we ask why anymore?" - here's a chance to ask "why?" At least about fanfic. For anyone seeing this.

If you have any questions about any story I've written, go ahead and ask me. It can be "where'd you get that idea?" or "why the hell did you do that?" Or any variation thereof. If you don't like something and are curious, ask. To be honest, I can't promise I'll be able to answer - if it's been long enough, I may just not remember - but I'll try. All I ask is that you be civil.

I think the film might have been 'The Colour Purple'. I'm sure I vaguely remember that happening now.

Yes, true that, about Will not being much good at flirting. But hey, he doesn't really need to be - his mere existence is alluring ;)

I love that scene in Contradictions, and thought it was a very bold move on Will's part, but then, they have just made their escape, and, knowing Will, he'd become more of a 'carpe diem' sort of chap by then. Better to make some sort of move, than never have the opportunity again, hmm?

Thanks for the explanation, darling *hugs*

If that scene were to be written with Will as he exists in my head today, he would have been a bit bolder and made sure he was being clear in that he was offering a promise, rather than just a tiny torment.
