Contest Pirates by Drac

Yeah, you heard me!
Pirates!

All I want, is a story about pirates!
Give me the swashbuckler feeling of a large battle with sabers and daggers and the occational old-fashion gun!
Cannonballs hitting the critical points of my vessel, making me have to swim to shore on a deserted island...
Ofcourse, a story about pirates doesn't have to be like that... It can also be romance, with linen clothing and fantastic scenery... Or something like that

It's all up to you!
A story about pirates!

The only rule I have, is that it's about Pirates...
The old-fashion ones! Not in the sense that they all have wooden legs and such, but in the sense that they exist in older times, in the past!
No new-tech pirates from the 20/21th century!

Apart from that, no rules...
Everything is allowed, as long as it fits the story..
Erotica, cussing, gore, sticky caps, poems...
Everything you feel is needed for the story!

So, knock yourself out! (Or rather, knock someone else out, savvy?)

      Actually, I was thinking of delaying it until 9 people had entered (setting that as the closing-term instead of a date)
