I think he’s become—and I’ve said this to him—for as amazing as all of our actors are at embodying these characters, every single one of them, he’s one that reminds me, alongside Christopher Reeve, as just like ‘these are the characters.’ I think he’s a great actor, and I think he can do whatever he wants to do, but even when you look at his Twitter account and taking a stand on things, it’s like, ‘Is he becoming Captain America? – Kevin Feige

I’m sorry to hear people are not giving you feedback (I know exactly how much that sucks as a writer) but you are so very talented and if it makes any difference I am *dying* to read this fic but holding off until I finish the series ��

*hugs* thank you. I’m looking forward to you finishing the series and seeing your take on it – I think we’re probably going to have a lot to talk about!

As to the feedback issue – I’m simultaneously taking comfort in knowing it’s not just me and saddened to see that so many other writers are facing the same problem. I’ve said it before, and so have all of us – there is a disconnect between the number of people who read fic and the number of people who leave comments. It’s why we treasure people like you who tell us what you liked and how the fic made you feel, so thank you so much for your comments and the support.

Mid S4 and I already subjected my poor roommate to two anti John Silver rants – I am sure we will! (Or rather I am sure I will come ranting at you whether you want it or not lol)

With feedback my last (hockey) fic for example got a decent amount of kudos, which is great, but has a miserable 5% comments to kudos ratio. I can only imagine how much more annoying it is for multi-chapter work which takes so much world building and time and effort and where leaving kudos on every chapter isn’t even an option. The same goes for you too, by the way – I can’t express how much it meant to me to wade in to a fandom and write for a long dead rarepair and receive such lovely words in comments. ❤

^^^THAT! all of that, in the tags, right there. there is an incredibly simple way to get any fic author to write more and that is to comment, because I do not live on air! And yes – worldbuilding and storyboarding and spending hours thinking “ok, why is X character doing what they’re doing in my head?” only to hear nothing back is… incredibly disheartening. I have no words for exactly how discouraging that can be, except clearly I do have words, because words are my life. And I know I’m not exempt from this – I need to make better effort to comment on things myself, and it’s something I need to get back to doing this year. I’m glad my comments made you feel welcomed!

If you need to rant about Silver, I’m absolutely here for that. Come at me with your rant – I guarantee you I’ll be happy to respond!

Reclamation – Chapter 6 – DreamingPagan – Black Sails [Archive of Our Own]

flintsredhair:

Chapters: 6/9
Fandom: Black Sails
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: Captain Flint/Thomas Hamilton, Vane/Madi
Characters: Captain Flint, Thomas Hamilton, Madi (Black Sails), Charles Vane, Admiral Hennessey (Black Sails), John Silver (briefly), Abigail Ashe, “Calico” Jack Rackham
Additional Tags: So one day after the finale I sat down, and decided to find out what happens if Charles Vane is still alive post s4, you know – presuming he was out of action but not dead, and then the thought hit me that Madi and Vane would make a cute couple, and well here you have the results, not Silver friendly, post finale fix-it, Grieving, found family of a sort, All the people that love James and Thomas come together to rescue them from the shame farm
Summary:

When he’s transported from Nassau to Jamaica, Charles Vane does not expect to leave the jail in Port Royal alive. When he’s released as part of a prisoner exchange agreement at the end of the war –

There might, he thinks, just possibly be something wrong with him, because he is about to go rescue James Flint from slavery with the help of a princess and an admiral of the English fleet, and he’s not quite certain but he thinks he may even have been sober when he agreed to do it.

Edit: I am a fucking idiot, and I forgot a section of this when I posted the first time. If everyone could go back and read it again with the beginning section, it will make a shitton more sense.
