I do hope that you are going to finish this (even though I realise it's been bout 2 years!).
Please keep writing!

Very interesting story, good characterization, original premise, intriguing description of the world, I really like this one. Oh where, oh where has the author gone?

This is quite possibly the most creative thing I have ever seen in fandom. And you have to WORK to win me over with female OCs. I nearly closed the window, until I saw 'You're the sword?' I was hooked then.

I have to say, I'm more interested in the Dutchman than the Sword, but that is likely because I identify with male characters better than female, being male and all.

I really love your technique, here, it's very clear who is speaking, and the characterisation makes everyone human, so I care about all of them. I'm very interested in more of the Below world, as well as the original characters you're coming up with, that aren't human.

I await more.

Please, please, please continue!

LOL great chapter! Can't wait to read more!

To start off, I have to say that I love the way you describe people. I could almost see the Lieutenant and the Dutchman and I am intrigued by the Dutchman's mysterious past. Other than that, I love the humor in this last chapter; the bit about the demon was funny and so was the last sentence. The story overall is lovely so far... a crooked path? Poor James; nothing ever seems to go right for him, not even death.

*Faves*

Yay! Seeing this story update makes my day! Keep up the good work! :)

BTW, are you a Sandman fan, by any chance?

Very, very odd. But I like the focus on the crew and the running of the ship.

So sorry I didn't get to read this as soon as you started posting, but life has been so hectic and, strangely enough, boring. Bit of an oxymoron, isn't it? Hectic, boring life. Anyway, good beginning. Definitely grabs attention. Good show, as they say across the pond.

Another good chapter. The Dutchman being a spirit is a good twist! Please update ASAP!

I think this wins the award of weirdest OC ever. But that's a good thing actually. I love the idea that the sword had a personality of it's own (mixed of course with James). I think that things that people have do tend to be an extension of the personality of the owner. So the idea that the 'Lieutenant' knows what James knows/knew and feels but not in quite the same way, is really appealing to me because it's very original, yet true also.

This is very well written, and I really like your Bootstrap.

I'm looking forward to reading more of this. *adds to alerts*

It's an interesting premise and I'm curious to see where you'll go with it. Only one thing bothers me so far...James may have owned her, but Will created her. It just seems like she'd have more of a connection or respect for him or whatever, rather than just mentally referring to him as "Elizabeth's lovesick fool". Just a thought.

I find this story fascinating. I can't wait to see more! WHat an original idea!

This could prove interesting.
