Hi :)
I read though your diatribe (lol sorry, but there's really no other word for it) and i hope beyond hope that you regain confidence in your characterisation of the characters soon because from what i've read (in both this and your first fic) your pretty damn brilliant at it :) i think you're one of the few writers i've read who've actually managed to catch the essence of such a...jittery character as Jack Sparrow as well as bringing your own dimensions to the character. He's multi-faceted in your writing and more than just a strangely alluring man with an odd candence to his speech ;) you write him brilliantly, as well as all the other characters; easpecially in the fact that you didn't vilify Nottingham (i rather liked him in the movie). You even got me reading slash which is an extreme rarity lol. Good luck with everything, and i hope you continue writing soon,
Cheers,
Leah

Hey Hey


Excellent story so far...you are very districtive in your work. You also hold the characters in tune. Now I know that you are upset about the hurry and update reviews so I'm not going to give you one of those....however I suck at reviews because I'm not that great of a writer and my grammar and spelling are horrible. So I just don't notice things like that....
Can't wait to find out what happens...you should make Ana hit Jack just because he made Will unhappy for a moment. :) Hey I've got to run and drive to school now so I'll finish my review later:)

Hi Aithlin!

I only want to tell you that i LOVE all your fics and i hope you´ll start writining soon again.
I think you´re one of the best writers about PotC in Adultfanfiction.net and it will be a pity you´ll not continuing tour stories.
About the caracters, i think your Jack and Will are very good and i don´t understand why are you depressed.
Well, i hope you´ll staritiniting soon...

Love the fic, but I was wondering: Since Will has been staying in Jack's cabin, where has Jack been sleeping? I can't really see Jack as sleeping in a chair or on the deck, yet it also seems like there'd be a lot more sexual tension between the two if they'd been sharing a bunk. ay, ay, hope you get over that writer's block soon.

Well...seeing as you are stuck for ideas and needing a heap of time for them said ideas to rear their ugly little torturous heads up with avengeance and keep you awake till 4am the Monday of the following week right before you need to wake up anyway and go to a 9 hour day of hard hand work then a lovely "little" bit of night school where you then come home and find that your damn muses HAVE EATEN ALL THE POPCORN!!!! *breathes* I'll help you to get out of the rut...in a way...somehow. *sends her 4 Muse Squad into YOUR muse's bedroom and shuts the door* Shh, they may be a while, but they do a damn good job.

Anyway...can I be a character aswell? Well...you can't really use this name as it's lotr based but...well...ye know. Anyway, do you have a cabin boy? Yyeahyeah I know it's a male character, but to be realistic here, I eve ever Role Play male characters anyway as I am petrified of the dreaded Mary Sue complex. But yeah, I just have this weird yet funky little idea (that is actually spawned from thinking about 'Moby Dick' the movie all day, the one with Patrick Stuart in it) about a black 14 year old (I'm nearly 20 by the way so this is more of a personality thing) cabin boy with maybe a little too much energy and eagerness. Has a complete devotion complex to Ana Marie and hounds her every step, especially if he saw her in action or something. Picked up in a port somewhere randomly after the slave ship fight...becomes her little shadow...WAY too energetic for his own good and releases it by entertaining the crew all the time by banging his little hand drum and doing jigs and singing in his own language (African chants). Gets killed later maybe...hey, it's for dramatic persuasion here! Anyway...I think it would do Ana Marie some good, considering he annoys tell ell out of her but she will never admit that the kid is just too darn cute (personality-wise) for his own good and no, he doesn't replace Will, actually is a little afraid of Will for some (you can make one up) reason. *pants* bloody heck now this has given ME a seriously bad plot bunny *yells at Muse #2*. OK...I won't write it before you do...I'll send you an email with all this info too ok, just in case. hehe...there ye go. Oh, and his name is Job "Gibs! Go give Job a job...er...some work" *snickers* lovely confusion.
Right, am rambling...told you it's a personality insert thing. heh.

Right, keep it up ok...LOVE this!!!! More pain please...don't ask, it's a Torture Fanfic Fan's (TFF) curse.

Sorry about the irritating reviews. I like your fic, and unlike /some/ people I've no objection to the pace of the relationship between Will and Jack. It's more like real life that way. Besides there are lemons enough for those who simply must have their fix. If you are having writer's block it may help to write about something completely different, say recipes or something.... it usually works for me. I think you've got a better grasp of Jack's inner character than you suspect...it seems to me that he does value his word more than anything else (well except maybe the Pearl) and that it would make him melancholy.
Completely off the subject, is it just me or does Jack Sparrow wear a ring on his ring finger on his wedding ring finger with a black pearl set in it. I think he's married to his ship! ;-)

I read your story, I love it... but i'm horrible at reviews. I know what you mean by reviews that just ask to update...but unless the fanfic it so terribly bad with spelling errors, bad formatting, horrible ooc-ness...I don't tend to get inspired to write reviews...
It's kinda like writers block aint it? I like what you did with Anamaria's character, I can see her, being the only woman on board, being sweet on Will in any fanfic, because of his upbringing and his just adorable noble-ness. I can't think of anything thats not clear to me...you explain things excellently! I love your writing! That's all, I guess...I can't think of anything else...

Honestly, love, I think ye describe him quite well, savvy? Much better than I'm doing. :) He's actually speaking clearly in my story, which will change. Sometime. But, really, don't stop writing. Your story's quite intriguing, and a very good AU. And Annamaria is just perfect. Can't wait to read more.

I read your fic at fanfiction.net and since you advised to come look here...

WOW I really like your stories... please please continue!!!
Oh and I'm so glad we've been released of that annoying Elizabeth and have some more Anna-maria (or whatever she's called)

Now I'm really curious what will happen next!
