Amazon's having a pirate short story competition. I got as far as this in their story framework and then cracked up: He was all teeth and curls, but with a pleasant open face. Gideon Defoe's a Doctor Who fan, then? ('all teeth and curls' and 'pleasant open face' are the cliches that turn up in almost every Target novelisation - at least the Terrance Dicks ones - to describe Four and Five, respectively. I wonder if the Pirate Captain has capacious pockets.)

Yup, Gideon Defoe's a Doctor Who fan. "Until the spring of 2003, Gideon Defoe's proudest moment was serving Guinness to Tom Baker." from this article (http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/generalfiction/story/0,6000,1503261,00.html). You should read his LJ: gideondefoe. It's pretty awesome.

I would enter the competition except that I'm being discriminated against for being American not-British. Grrrr.

Muah ha ha! I'm 400 words into 'The Pirates! In An Adventure With Peg The Pegless!'. I'd add the subtitle 'The Pirate Without A Penis', but I think that's going too far.

Good time lord, I would pay at least twice the normal amount to read The Pirates! In an Adventure with the Doctor.

Or even The Pirates! In an Adventure with Daleks.

Oh my god, the possibilities are endless.

"Our best adventure was the adventure with all those lady models."

“No it wasn’t!” said the pirate in green. “It was the one with the Giant Spiders!”

No, he hasn't heard of DW at all!
