Quote of the week: "Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive." Josephine Hartou I now have a website for the Official Fanfiction University of the Caribbean- http:// pirateuniversity.webs. com/index. htmIt's got lots of info from the lessons and several more pages of stuff I couldn't fit into the lessons, plus lots of links to sites where you can find character information, historical information, maps, and other useful things. Please visit! I put a lot of work into it and I'm proud of it. Suggestions for things to add to it are welcomed! The second semester of the OFUC is, I'm afraid, most likely cancelled. I'm sorry. I know I promised. I hate having to do this. But between school and various other issues it's just not going to happen. I will still be trying to work on DR. I'm really, really sorry. | |||||||
