Globetrotters is the second in a six-part series of Willie Loomis fanficton, which tell's Willie's story with an often humorous twist, from the very beginning to his happily ever after. In Part II, we see Willie and his partner Jason McGuire on various misadventures, conniving elaborate con games and get-rich-quick schemes. The story also covers their years on tramp steam ships at ports of call around the world and Willie's time in prison. It is considered the lightest in terms of tone of the series.
The series is available at two locations: fanfiction.net, which is easy to navigate and LiveJournal, which is more difficult, because the chapters run backward, but it includes numerous photos and screencaps. At LiveJournal, you must hit the Previous 10 link until you reach the desired story.
The series runs in the following order:
- Little Willie (childhood)
- Globetrotters (the Jason years)
- The Maine Event (arrival in Collinsport)
- Changes (arrival of Barnabas)
- This Old House (variations on the Barnabas/Maggie/Willie storyline)
The entire series, beginning with Little Willie, is available at the Archive of Our Own at https://archiveofourown.org/works/774828/chapters/1457041
- Interlude (variations on the Barnabas/Julia/Willie storyline)
The storyline is sequential so it is best the read the series in that order.
Little Willie was rewritten in April 2013 and is now listed as Little Willie (Redux). Globetrotters is currently being rewritten and, as of this writing, only three chapters of the redux are available. However the original story is still posted on the LiveJournal site.
