Ok, the thought of JackDav doing Gilbert & Sullivan is comedy gold. Hee!

Read, greatly enjoyed and bookmarked :-)

Wish I had the time to write a proper reply, but real life is a bit busy today...

Can I just say that I love you? My view on him in a nutshell, only I could never phrase it this way. Thank you so much for writing this!

Oh yes, he is...

Norrington, that flawed, all-too-human Scourge of Piracy, adds so much to PotC. He is a great character, brilliantly acted, and the movies just wouldn't be the same, or as good and interesting, without him. Your clear-eyed vision of him is captured beautifully in this essay. Great work!

I still have not produced my Jack essay, but, if the mods permit, I'll give it a go this week. You did a wonderful job of organizing a lot of information here -- a real inspiration. Congrats on finishing it!

Thanks so much for writing this! It's a lovely look at Norrington, and I'll be interested to see your thoughts on whatever AWE does with him.

It was a fun challenge to put my thoughts about him into semi-coherent form. Default for me is more handwavy and, "Well, you know, he's um....like that." *g* It all goes into the fic. Meta is unfamiliar territory. I'm glad you think it works.

And thank you for modding. This comm is great!
