Excellent.

And heavy with premonition.

This was a very good read. I do enjoy the way you write so wonderfully!

This is fantastic! I cannot imagine why it doesn't have more reviews! So incredibly realistic! You should be very proud.

Salutations! This is the first work of yours I've reviewed but it is not the first I've read, and I'm sorry I didn't say anything before. You are an absolutely brilliant writer. You have the best idea of Jack Sparrow's (and his friends) character that I've ever read. I especially enjoyed this story and "Keepsakes". Your original characters are wonderfully distinctive and real that they blend seamlessly with the rest of PotC universe. It would be a lie to say that I don't envy your talent _, but I thoroughly enjoy reading your tales regardless.

I could gush on and on, but I'm sure that would get tiresome, so here's a summary: You're a genius. I love your work. Keep writing!

Your stuff is just so bleeding *accurate*!

"Jack," he answered, finding his voice. "Horner," he added, since he had indisputably harvested plenty of plums that afternoon.

I loved this line- in fact several bits made me laugh out loud, much the same as the original PotC did. You've got the style down to a tee (whatever that means...). Again, really well researched. We always knew Jack was a Londerer. ;)

Keep it up, shipmate!

I love the new title, Shy. Just wanted you to know I'm reccing this on the Pirategasm Reccing Ball this weekend. Great story.

Wow! This is a really good start! This is one of the best written stories i've read on Jack's past! My favourite couple of lines was: -

"Pity he hadn't told them his real name, so that when they heard about Jack Sparrow stealing the Crown Jewels or being made governor of his own island, like Morgan and that mythical land Jamaica, they would remember this day and blush to think of their paltry plans for him."

Great description, i can really picture everything that is happening! I also think you've captured Jack's character really well!

Fantastic start, i really can't wait to read more. Please post the next chapter! _
