Chapter Eighteen: Go Down in History

*glances at the title*

So… we’ve switched to a fic about Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?  Sounds like a plan.

Sadly, this chapter is not actually about beloved Christmas-time characters from my childhood.  It is more drivel about Pirate-Sue and her misadventures.  Before we begin, however, I have to share this author’s note with you.  My apologies.

A/n- One more Chapter! O: Don’t worry; there will be a sequel. I’ll let you know what the name of it will be next chapter (honestly, I don’t know yet.)

Okay so the first part of this chapter (before the %%%%%) takes place right after Jack dies and right before Jaicee comes back to life. The slanted words (can’t remember what its called d:) is Jaicee’s memory of being in the locker her mind replays as shes waking up, but she DOESN’T remember it. Hope you enjoy it! PLEASE review! I don’t care if you’re anonymous or whatever. I really value what my readers think about the story, and since there’s only one more chapter, I want to get as many reviews as I can…(: Okay enough ranting, Angie…

Pssst… slanted words are called italics.  If you hover over the slanty-word icon it tells you that, dip-shit.

Anyway, so this chapter begins from Jack’s POV with a third-person narrative.  Normally, I would get excited about this, considering how much I loath fanfiction written in first-person.  However, the change in perspective is only short-lived as, for some God-awful reason, our author will only write Jaicee in first-person and the perspective switches back to our Pirate Princess within a couple paragraphs.

Hello, Library Patrons!  I know I said I’d try to pump out the rest of it in a single post, but I’ve been feeling under the weather lately (having a toddler means I’m exposed to all sorts of fun little plagues that he brings home from preschool).  So I’m just going to do Chapter Seventeen today and we’ll do the rest next week.  Let’s just get down to it, shall we?

Jace is the daughter of Jack Sparrow and Angelica Teach, which makes her the granddaughter of Blackbeard.  After some nancing around with time-travel (with no historical repercussions what-so-ever) she ends up thrown into a re-writing of the 4th PoTC movie.  It’s been dull as a butter-knife since that happened.  I’m really happy to see the tail end of this fic.

Hi!  Are you ready?  Are you?  I bet you are!  Guess what?  I’ve had way too much caffeine and sugar.

For those following along at home, Jace is a 16-year-old time-traveling piratess who was born of Angelica Teach and Jack Sparrow sometime in the God-Knows-When era of the PoTC Universe.  The timeline meshes about as well as oil and water.  Lately, she’s been sailing on the Queen Anne’s Revenge with her parents, her grandfather Blackbeard (who, to my great joy, tried to kill her) and her best friend Caden, who is supposed to be 260 years into the future.  No explanation is ever give as to why he’s not 260 years into the future, and Jace is not really that startled to see him since she never asks him how he got  there in the first place.

Currently, she just witnessed the capture of a mermaid and they’re about to head off to find the Fountain of Youth, as per the entire plot-line for the 4th Pirates movie: On Stranger Tides.

Good morning!  In an explosion of inspiration, our author has uploaded up to Chapter 20 of her shipwreck of a fic.  I’m going to try to pump out multiple chapters if I can, especially since she seems determined to merely follow the general plot of the 4th PotC movie.  The good news is that the fic is now completed.  Huzzah!  Before we begin, however, I’ll recap.

*takes a deep breath*

Jace/Jaicee, a Pirate-Sue who isn’t actually a pirate as I doubt she’s ever done anything pirate-y in her entire existence (except maybe download music off the internet), was sent 260 years into the future when she was 8 years old because Captain Barbossa wanted her dead.  After lighting her stove on fire with the cunning use of water, she gets kidnapped by Barbossa in the future and, using a “neckless” her father (Jack Sparrow) gave her before she went forward in time, she goes back in time to her original era, but 8 years into that era’s future.  Are you following this okay?  Don’t worry if you aren’t; it doesn’t make sense even if you know what I’m talking about.  Anyway, she meets Dad again.  Together they take fifteen minutes to locate her mother (Angelica Teach), who found her own way back in time without any specification of how she did so.  Now, for reasons unexplained (a lot is left unexplained in this fic…) they’re on the Queen Anne’s Revenge, following the plot and dialogue almost verbatim from PotC: On Stranger Tides.

Good morning, everyone!  Welcome back to the Library for another installment of “Heading Towards the Horizon: The Tale of Let’s Just Narrate Almost Verbatim From the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean Movie, But Add a Useless High Schooler While We’re At It.”

For those whose memory need some jogging, let us sum up what we’ve witnessed so far on this journey into the Author’s fantasy.

Jace/Jaicee is 16 and the daughter of Jack and Angelica.  When she was 8, Captain Barbossa wanted to kill her merely because the author needed a plot device to move her story forward and murdering a child seemed like a good way to go about it.  To save this kid’s life, Tai Dalma (the goddess Calypso who, apparently, wanted to return to the Bayou because maybe she missed the jambalya?) sends both Jace and her mother, but not her father, 260 years into the future.  This tactic works for 8 years until Barbossa finds his way into her high school with only a vague explanation of how he got there in the first place.  He kidnaps her and she manages to use a “neckless” to go back in time to 1700′s London.  If you’ve seen the 4th movie, I don’t need to tell you any more because the author actually plopped Jaicee-Sue right into the first twenty minutes of said movie, completely contradicting any timeline that may have been feebly struggling to emerge from this wreck of a story.
