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.
