Good Lord, your story is the most amazing I've read so far! ALL of your stories, that is. You've done an excellent job, you pictured characters' personalities just amazingly! Jack is SO great, funny, adorable and... well... Jackish? Hm... I need rum...
Neither did I like the "Dead Man's Chest", by the way. The end sucks, as though the story in a whole's not that bad - I liked Davy Jones. But I HATE Elizabeth for leaving Jack to Kraken. If not for that, I'd consider her ok. She's great in your books. I'm really looking forward for the next chapter.
The Witter family is so interesting. So many different personalities. Alice is really strange, in a way I can't figure whether I like her or not. She can be so caring and gentle, and all... And then again, she shrieks. A lot. Too much, in fact. But she's good in heart.
Yeah, I could go on on ages, praising your stories, but unfortunately I have no time. My Internet time's limited by my Big Boss (a.k.a. Mother). Bugger.
Please, write your fics on! I LOVE them!

whas up. y u stop writin, i mean i can only think about chap 45 and on so much. u gots ta get tha muse and groove on. this is 1 my favs, an by not writin u hurtin my feelins. keep tinkin lates

Wow! I know I'm not very far in reading this story... but this story is amazing! Wonderfully written! And most creative! You bring these characters to life in such an incredible way! Oh, and this chapter was so much fun to read! I loved the scene of Jack and little Lucy!

Cartography is the science/art of map making I believe.

Amethyst is purple quartz, silicon dioxide, same as
citrine (yellow) smoky, clear, pink (rose) quartz.
Number 7 on the 1-10 Moh's scale of hardness...a knife
cannot scratch it but topaz, rubies/sapphires and
diamonds can. Amethyst quartz can scratch glass.
Flint and chert are opaque amorphous forms of quartz.

I'm beginning to think Will Turner doesn't need
to be in this story at all.

? Elizabeth throws a plate at Will and her daughter
and then tries to act like it's his fault? She's
beginning to react without thinking and losing her
grip on reality.

Bit of trivia. Pantyhose came out about 1959-60. About
the same time as permanent press cotton (no more ironing).

Will's gone. Neither Will nor Elizabeth seemed to
care where their little daughter was all night.
It does seem to be a dragging anchor on the plot
to have children of the main characters on board.

At last! A well-written Pirates of the Caribbean story!

Some suggestions:

LOSE, LOSING (pronounced LUUZ and LUUZing) to no longer
have, having something taken away from one's self.

Easy to remember: JUST ONE "O" in LOSING

SNEAK, SNEAKED, has/have SNEAKED (This is the proper
way to use this verb unless imitating the colloquialism
spoken by hillbillies of the mountains.) Despite current
popularity of "snuck", "SNEAKED" is still professional
and correct.

Ah..I think Jack made a decidedly BAD decision to
take the little girl's clothes off, put his shirt on
her, and sleep with her. It's one of those things
that COULD be okay, depending on his thoughts, but
certainly something that almost everyone might wonder
about and it gives the APPEARANCE of a less than
honorable or noble intention on his part.

Certainly, doing that would NOT bring everyone
together in a happy mood. Both mother and father would
not be pleased their daughter was not with them at night.
Since neither one of them was incapacitated, the child
should have been with one of them. Jack was not a
good substitute in this situation, only adding fuel
to a smoldering situation. He should have brought the child to one of the parents or had AnnaMarie take the child to one of the parents, such as the mother.
Ah, Stupid, Jack Sparrow!

"That's 'Stupid, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow!'"

*SNORK*

This last chapter tickled me to no end - Murtogg and Mullroy were not what I expected, but it played brilliantly. ;-) Anywho, just a note to let you know you have a reader still out here reading.
Cheers ~

ooh...Jack's back, back in port Royale, Yay, now THIS is going to be fun!!
I'm intrigued, who has done what wrong? I'd say, just a guess mind you, that Will Turner jr is the one who has done the dasterdly deed...but saying that, I could be mistaken...
Hope you update soon, yeah, I know I'm just getting greedy...
Thanks for the chapter though, good stuff, Please update soon, I just HAVE to know what happened...

First and Foremost YAY!! A new Chapter *doing snoopy dances* And secondly, HELL YEAH! I'm still around to read it...this is great and there is no way I'm not going to see it through to the end. I cant believe that Bootsrap is being so stubborn! For the love of all that's holy in this world, swallow your pride and go tell your son you've missed him...*Shakes head* Men! stubborn as mules!
"Didn’t those ten years you wandered about being skinned to the skelly by the light of the moon teach you anything?” Oh my, that's so funny...skinned to the skelly...lol Oh God, I continue to laugh as I write this...Bloody brilliant. I'll be reading the next installment, whenever you get the time to put it up...
Thanks again for this chapter. It was perfect timing, I just went up to Uni to hand in my essay, and when I came back...This was waiting for me! YAY!
Ta very much.

Oh the song...put the lime/rum in the coconut and shake them all together...I'm going to have that in my head all day!!Never mind.
Anyway, apologies for not reviewing earlier, I coulda sworn that I had...apparently not though...It's a great chapter, I love your writing, and I hope there will a new chapter to distract me again soon.
I have to know what happens when Jack goes ashore, please put me out of my misery. ok I'm going to leave you be now, only cos I have to be at work in 2o minutes, otherwise I'd sit here and pester you all day!
Ta for this chapter, Becca

Yes, this chapter asnwered many questions!Bootstrap is a complex character isn't he? I hope he is able to overcome his feelings of jealousy and guilt and actually try to put things right. Maybe if he develops a closer relationship with little Jack...
The scene with Jack and Will was wonderful, very emotional without seeming contrived. Excellent work as usual:) Hope the next installment comes soon!

great work. Love your style
