Now, don't quite base this answer off how you wanted the Pirates of the Caribbean movies to go when you answer this;
________________________________________________
If you were to read a pirate story...
Option #1: Would you prefer a story that sticks strictly to traditional pirate-like plots. What I mean by that is, do you like to read pirate stories that are more realistic than not?
(i.e. POTC 1 was more 'realistic' than POTC 3 in my opinion.)
OR
Option #2: Would you like a story that while keeping to tradition pirate-like plots, throws in a bit of fantasy and kind of out-there adventure... and varies in settings as well. (Example: Aztec Fire-God, abilities such as seeing the future, and prophecies)
________________________________________________
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is if the second scenario is a little 'too much' for a pirate story. I've been having tremendous trouble continuing my book because I'm not sure what the reader would prefer. So I figured I'd turn to my fellow pirates! Who would know better aye?
I apologize if the options are difficult to understand. If you have any questions, please ask
Thank you in advance everyone!
