Uneasy times

'The Ridiculous Captain Crabb' is 1,800 words old. Considering my experience in pirate fiction extends to an aborted reading of Treasure Island and the book I'm devouring at the moment, Bloody Jack, it's really taken me outside my comfort zone (which is both intimidating and exciting).

Nothing's changed at Andromeda and I'm a bit depressed. The last time a story languished this long in round 1, it didn't make it to the second.
