panther7x 2003-12-23 ch 7,	abuseSloth...yeah, that was the one i was forgetting. I liked how your tone changed with each character. Also, this...fic?(I honestly don't know what to call it) is pretty original and interesting. 7 deadly sins. Ha! I like! However, I don't think you hit Jack and Gibb's character, exactly. they were both rather verbose. And why is that last chapter entitled Ragetti anyways? But over-all pretty nice.
Cir 2003-09-25 ch 7, anon.	abuseI waited until this was done before reviewing, because I wanted to be certain I had the sins right. It’s a mark of how good a writer you are that I was able to figure out each one. This was really a fascinating read, and a very interesting approach to the story. I especially liked it because it gave us a view of the characters that we don’t see in the strictly adventure movie which PotC was. Good job you saved Jack for last, his was definitely the best. I love that line!
wellduh... 2003-09-23 ch 7, anon.	abuseSequel. Yay!
Bella Fae 2003-09-19 ch 7,	abuseDon’t be deceptive with your chapter titles! Needless to say, I giggled like a schoolgirl when I realized it was a joke. FINALLY! I will be leaving lipstick traces on your shoes for years. You write Jack PERFECTLY. His hunger for the redemption so many denied him; his need for the Pearl and all that it symbolizes. His true nature, and how he is one with the world around him. Your words bring forth tactile images: when his hands touched the Pearl, I could feel the wood beneath my own fingertips. I want to embark on a journey now, and feel the same things the Captain felt. He is so supple in your hands, so well crafted. /Sparrow could fly again/ - I love that beyond breath. Thank you so much for writing something so magnificent.
Bella Fae 2003-09-19 ch 6,	abuseGibbs’ stoic attitude toward change fits the sin of sloth like a glove. You take the littlest hints and details from the film and expand on them. You’ve made Gibbs a whole person through the lack of personality. You scraped together coherence and blended it with your perfectly apt atmosphere and language use. The result? Perfection.
Bella Fae 2003-09-19 ch 5,	abuseWow… that was unexpected. I was sure that Jack would be the one chosen for this sin (though I think he can be thought to embody each sin) – and was a little apprehensive about reading this once I recognized it as lust. I’ve always thought of Will as the pure one. Reading this changed my mind, and I’m glad. You’ve taken a moment that seemed to break his character, and turned it into character development. His head and heart; love and lust. Relating his actions back to obligations and choices is so perfectly in canon. I can’t get over how beautiful this is.
Bella Fae 2003-09-19 ch 4,	abuseAh yes, this brings out the glutton in us all. Amid it, Pintel still finds it in himself to look out for Ragetti, just as he did in the film. Fantastic addition to character development that’s already excellent. You pin these characters to a tee, and all with a breathtaking ease. His confusion in regards to his own musings made me giggle out loud. Perfectly Pintel and wonderfully witty. It can be quite difficult to draw a line between gluttony and greed, but you made that line precise and clean-cut.
Bella Fae 2003-09-19 ch 3,	abuseIt doesn’t seem to me that you had any difficulty whatsoever with the Commodore, despite what you’ve said in your author’s note. I’m simply amazed at how well you have grasped the characters and their motivations. The Commodore is most often writ as heartless, and therefore unchangeable and very one-dimensional. Your exploration of his pride adds an entire new dimension, and a thousand times more depth than I’d ever thought possible.
Bella Fae 2003-09-19 ch 2,	abuseElizabeth’s hopes and fears are portrayed wonderfully here. The first person narration really suits her; her voice is clear. You touch on the darkness and the light in her life. There aren’t many people who write Elizabeth well, so it’s a real joy to find someone who does. The song is a wonderful way to tie everything together.
Bella Fae 2003-09-19 ch 1,	abuseOh, what a captivating start. I love how Barbossa recognized the crew as Jack’s as well as his own. You blended his desires: thirst, hunger, lust – with the anger. Your imagery is very deft and vivid. I’m delighted at the characterization, the originality and the depth. Fantastic.
EstelWolfe 2003-09-17 ch 7,	abuseHello! I really like the premise for this, and I can't decide which little part I like most. They all seem really well thought out, and the sins really seem to fit with the characters at the points in time that you used. (I was quite content to read the last chappie whether it was Jack or not, because I liked all the ones that came before, but I'm still glad you used him. I liked how Pintel thought about his and Ragetti's position within the pirate pecking order, and how Will argued with himself over how he had to think and behave, and Norrington's scene, and Gibb's . . .I read Barbossa's too long ago to remember, but I think I liked that one too.) I think you get the picture. Wish I could say something constructive, but I can't really spot any flaws. This is good. See you around!
Shimmergloom 2003-09-17 ch 7,	abuseI love it! Freedom. perfect. I know how he feels to need freedom. I don't steal or stuff like that I just mean I feel trapped. Freedom. Greedy for Freedom. Perfect. btw, what happened to vanity?
