The Delta Drifters was an "original" Web Serial Novel written by Willy Four Eyes (cancelled and removed after two published chapters). It tells the tale of a merchant sailor named Lucia Miles who, despite her generally trouble-free upbringing, dreams of becoming an adventurer like so many heroes she's read about in storybooks. When she is sent on a job that draws the attention of a group of dangerous bandits, she has to do her best to stand against them...if her big mouth doesn't get her in trouble first.
Tropes exhibited within:
- Adventure Rebuff: In Chapter 2, Jodi tries to join Lucia's crew as Lucia is about to leave for a trip, but is turned away.
- Good-Guy Bar: Talisman. Lucia's friends and co-workers are seen playing poker there in the first chapter.
- Jumped at the Call: Lucia's reaction to her boss allowing her to sail a ship for the first time.
- Low Fantasy
- Theme Naming: Ship classes are named after types of knives and swords (Kris, Falchion, etc.)
