Free Pirate Fic!

Posted by Cory Doctorow, September 18, 2008 10:16 PM |
Mary sez,

In 2007, Dred Pirate John Joseph Adams, of the MS Fantasy and Science Fiction, commandeered the MS Shimmer for one special issue: the Pirate issue, released November 2007.

In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, a holiday dear to our hearts, we’re making the electronic edition freely available. One day only: Plunder away!

The issue features fiction from James L. Cambias, Marissa K. Lingen, Jeremiah Tolbert, Mikal Trimm, and and half a dozen others. And don’t miss our piratical interview with the creator of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Illustrated throughout by James Owen.

Pirate Booty! (Thanks, Mary!)

How many Pirates of the Caribbean films must they make before people realise that pirates suck?

My favorite pirate story is "How I Became a Pirate" by David Shannon. NPR did a piece on it and here is a link. (hopefully)http://tinyurl.com/3rsj5v

I'd like to read these stories in Shimmer, I just haven't done too much online fiction reading, but I'll give it a shot because it looks like a wonderful collection.
