 MsAurora 8/28/09 . chapter 1Wow! This is a lovely piece of work, jedipati!
I like the way you account for Calypso’s eventual wrath in the third movie. Dear me, Tia Dalma has been through quite some hassle. You artfully put forth the stages of her gradual recovery, effectively portraying the advances she made through the decades, breaking down the barriers one by one. You portray her as a much darker character than she appears in the movie‘And then she realized that the men and women she hunted were not the ones who had bound her, merely their heirs. She didn’t care.
Okay, that sends shivers down my spine. It’s almost as though she’s saying it sinisterly! Not without good reason, of course...
I also thought it was rather clever to show Calypso’s powers and personality seeping through into Tia Dalma bit by bit- the way she was able to mark people as her servants is very much like the way the sea vexes sailors.
I liked your writing style- the varying sentence structures, the use of close third person and good punctuation made this a pleasurable read. Well done! There were some moments, however, when I thought that a little more elaboration would have been fab, but maybe the lack of floweriness was intended in order to keep the scenario in the shadows.
Do keep writing!
