Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !
I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday. They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from @worldbuilding they're just an extra opportunity if you have a writing itch you want to scratch. 😀

The prompt this week is - Pirates !
For as long as humanity has travelled the seas, there have been pirates. Sometimes they're indistinguishable from invading warbands or state-sponsored privateers. Tell me a story of pirates in your setting ! You can have fun with this one 😁 Do your pirates sail the seas of this world or another, or perhaps they are pirates of the space lanes ? What made them become pirates ? How do they organise themselves, and how are leaders chosen ? Who represents the forces of law and order, and how do the pirates keep a step ahead of them ?
Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments to this post, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.
This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.
Guidelines
I stole these guidelines straight from @worldbuilding prompts (I hope that's okay !), I couldn't have written them any better myself....
- Prompt replies may be anything! Art, game assets, stories, worldbuilding details, fake wiki entries, maps... whatever you want to create!
- Please ensure you reply to this post with a link to your reply
- Posting in or cross-posting to the Worldbuilding community is highly encouraged
- Use the hashtag #worldbuilding
- Prompt replies can be any length.
Some other neat communities for writing that you might want to check out are:
It can be a lot of fun to mix and match our prompts with some of these other community prompts.
Here's my submission -

I saw this and realised that it's been a few weeks since writing something for the world-building community. Also, who could resist the chance to talk about space pirates?

There were two great replies to this post last week (if I relax the need to post a link in the comments !), so I've awarded an SBI each to @killerwot and @wakeupkitty.pal - well done ! 😀
Thank you so much for the SBI.
I'll try to be around band respond but most of my time is consumed by reading.
It's hard to schedule time. I wish I could write more.
All the best to you.
