Who likes Pirates of the Carribbean so much that it had to be used as the topic for the fanfiction contest?

Though it wasn't entirely my decision...

*rasies hand with Ri* It was a pretty mutual decision. Sorry if you don't like the topic, Wolf.

I'm guilty too. Actually we timed it to go with the new movie coming out. It sort of fit. This way it will be a topic that's on most peoples minds already. (I said most. Not all.)
As the member base grows we will start having more topic specific challenges. The problem you run into with having the broad category challenges is that alot of entries are overlooked since people aren't familiar with them. Look at the last challenge. We had entries but very few votes because no one knew the story bases, such as Gundam Wing, Vagrant Story, and 24.

Ah.
Well, I liked the first PoTC, but never enough to actually write a fanfic for it. Then the second came out, and I saw it twice within three days.

Honestly when the first one came out I didn't even bother to go see it. I never saw it until it came on Starz. Then my hubby bought it and well I've watched it about 25 times now. But I really wanted to see the second one and I really loved it. So I guess I'm now a true pirate fan.
I want to write a full length story on it, but I just don't think I have that good an imagination.
