- As if there weren't enough networking site candy kicking around to rot your teeth...I've been creating new ones on the web. Please feel free to visit any one of them, as they're all different.
A few fans alerted me to the existence of Paganspace.com, and it would be silly not to have a page there: http://www.paganspace.com/skinnywhitechick
I don't have a lot of stuff up on Paganspace yet, but soon, soon I will send music in to 'paganradio' there, which seems to run on my profile automatically.
Lastly, and this is the big announcement of sorts, I created last night a Myspace page for The Lost Girls Pirate Academy: http://www.myspace.com/lostgirlspirateacademy
Next on my list is creating a Tribe for the Academy on Tribe.net, but for now, Myspace will hold down the fort. It's our dream to launch lostgirlspirateacademy.com very soon, also--and all of the sites we create, Myspace or otherwise, will hopefully serve as a forum and as a trading post for fan art and fiction about Wendy, Green-eyed Sue, and their crew. We have a good bit of stuff to share already, but we want more! Know that you're welcome to share how the Wendy Trilogy has inspired you with me, especially as a comment or a story or drawing or other form of awesome creative output.
If you're lost at sea about all this, I'll explain briefly:
On my albums Sirens, which I released in 2006, I included three songs about what might have happened, had Wendy chosen to become a pirate instead of sticking with the Lost Boys and staying the proper little mother figure. The three songs take you through Wendy's difficult transition to pirate as Hook's adopted daughter--he double-crosses her, of course, but she catches him in the act and, with the help of Tink and Pan, she 'inherits' the ship and the crew. Gradually, Wendy replaces the crew with Lost Girls handpicked by Peter Pan. Green-eyed Sue is the first to arrive, and Mr. Smee is the last to go.
There's more, of course.
I'll post the songs themselves to the Lost Girls Pirate Academy Myspace page today so that you can hear them if you haven't heard them before.
For now the Wendy Trilogy can be heard on Sirens or on the Tricky Pixie Live album. I plan, by the end of the year, to give the Trilogy its own single/EP, called Pirate Girls, which will also include the Academy's new Alma Mater (up on Myspace right now), and perhaps a few other choice nautical songs.
The Wendy Trilogy is so beloved by so many people across the world at this point that I am quite happy to give it more attention, and to breathe new life into it by getting the Academy project going. We've got t-shirts, stickers, an official logo, exclusively commissioned art by Amy Brown depicting the Academy's two saucy founders (shown in this entry, and used by gracious permission), many many stories of how the songs have touched one person or another, and one rollicking bit of fan fiction so far. Please, if you want to be a part of this piratical adventure, do! Feel free to get in touch with me with your music, stories, and art.
