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.)

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.
