The Seven Seas

If you're a PIRATES! reader, you've probably seen the work of OFFICIAL PIRATES! illustrator, Cynthia. She's one of my closest friends in the offline world and horribly talented at what she does. Make sure you read and support her new fantasy webcomic, Wayfarer, which is just plain awesome so far, even only four pages in! We all have to keep cheering her on so she'll be motivated to make new pages!!! COME ON EVERYBODY!!! Wayfarer will soon have a new home over at fireflylight, where I will be running the comic's site for her. I know you'll love it, so what are you waiting for??

That Which You Gave Me PIRATES! is proud to be affiliated with Chisato's story, That Which You Gave Me! Ghosts, the military, two innkeeping, butt-kicking, possibly paranormally inclined sisters...WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR??!! Did I mention she doesn't take 3 decades to update, like...umm...SOMEBODY around here...??? So yes. GO. GO NOW.

Credits
First: all of my friends for inspiring and lending their personalities to swashbuckling pirates, courageous soldiers, terrifying natives, beautiful princesses, and so much more! I definitely couldn't do it without you guys.

The dread pirate Corey G., who made pirates all the rage. Thank you for working so hard on the character portraits!!! *gasp!* And providing pirate slang! *gasp*

Who could forget our official/inofficial PIRATES! illustrator-ess (THE original Luke fangirl), Cynthia??! *mobs her*

Sandy, my supervisor, who lets me go wild with the word processor as long as I answer the phones.

Aasdfgh I did so much research for this story!!! Here are all the great resources I found: The Pirate's Realm, Defiant Pirate Women, No Quarter Given, Piece Of Eight: A Guide To 17th Century Piracy, Isle Of Tortuga, Disney's Pirates Of The Caribbean, Talk Like A Pirate, The Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project

And of course, you! ^____^

GASP! The fifth version of PIRATES! Featuring art by none other than Cynthia! I think everybody likes the three pirate siblings as much as I do, and I really wanted to have them together in a picture at last. Soooo I asked Cynthia if she could PLEASE come up with something and VOILA!!! She delivered! Brilliantly! Cause let me tell you a secret: the way I pictured the image in my head even before it was a finished product...is EXACTLY the way Cynthia captured it! Isn't that amazing?!! CYNTHIA YOU ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU AND I HONESTLY HEART THIS PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, fonts are Devinne Swash and Century Gothic. The gradient background was irritating to work out, so if you try to steal my coding I will most likely get very violent with you.
