Anyone else think that Jack's dialogue didn't sound remotely like the way Jack actually speaks? Where the hell did they get this from?

[21stcherryboy]

Oh, and as for those stupid chocolate balls with the nuts? I think they're gross.

Come on, he says "luv" a lot, and even throws a "savvy" in for good measure. *sarcasm - sometimes people don't get that* I think too many people go to the How To Be Talkin Like A Pirate, Yarr! sites that are out there, instead of listening to this movie that they apparently love so much.

(oh, and I for one happen to love Ferraro Roche, but not in someone's head!)

Of course there is no way that Captain Black Rose Crown is based on her sister. Because she has too much artistic integrity for that. *snerk*

And did anyone else think when reading the passage where she watches her die that if she wanted to die so badly with them, that all she had to do was to stop swimming? Or just me?

[thedivinegoat]

That should read "watches her crew die"

Brain had taken a leave of absence whilst reading those extracts.

I thought so, as well.

The circumstances of the entire first chapter are dubious, actually. First, from my small amount of sailing knowledge I know that there's no way that any crew who wanted to live would go below decks to wait out a storm without dropping sails because it was "too dangerous". Uhm, sailing is dangerous. People were lost all the time trying to do things that needed to be done, that didn't mean that everyone just up and decided, "Oh well, won't do that, then".

The whole "I can see it before it happens, but I can't change it" thing always seems contrived, anyway. Especially when there's no apparent reason why the person can't change it.

Why would she even let them go below decks if she knew what would happen if they did? Unless her entire crew was unable to swim, by allowing them to trap themselves below decks she pretty much just let them all die for no reason whatsoever ... well, you know, besides angstTo work the idea of visions of an inevitable future the author has to actually create situations where there

"thick hair wound around her body in the howling winds"

So...her hair's like mid-way down her back or something? Bet that's a real pain in the arse while fighting or whatever.

[collie_wing]

wound around her body

It sounds as though she's getting mummified by her hair. bet that's unpleasant. *still doesn't get why sues leave long hair billowing in the wind* I mean, the majesty and dramatic effect of long flowing hair gets lost when it starts smacking you in the face and trying to both strangle and blind you by covering nose, mouth and eyes. Speaking from experience here. Stupid sues.

*is still rather stupefied by the entire fic*

[starvingartist3]

Foolish Sue writers; logic means nothing to them. I'd just laugh at her, but I too am traumatized by this... tripe.

[kalindara]

There are no words for the fic, but I just love this little gem:

Check out her story "A Different Kind of Pirate Tail"

Because pirates have tails? And more than one kind? Like a rare monkey breed or something?

[potcsues]

No, like a fish tail.

I actually came across that fic before I cam across this one.

It's about Elizabeth being turned into a mermaid.

Plunderin' 'ere ya don' belong? 'ell jus' 'ave ta turn ya in after we 'ave our 'ay wit' ya, won' we Captain?

They do this all the way through chapter 2! Um, which particular accent is it that drops, not "h"s, but random consonants all over the place?
