It would appear I am the first one reviewing who has knowledge of the games, even if I'm three years late.
Regardless, this was hilarious. I've always found Guybrush's fear to be funny. It was one of those great running jokes that lasted through the series.
And really, only he can take one problem and make it so much worse. Otherwise, the games would have been boring and way too easy to finish.
Poor Elaine, having to put up with all his shenanigans. If that's not love, I don't know what is.

This was great.

Congrats on getting the hypnotic challenge done! Totally canon-blind here, but I’m interested the phobia aspect of this story. I liked the opening with the letter, which really introduces the concept of the porcelain phobia as well, and its interesting to see its related to a toilet. It’s unbelievably absurd, yet entertaining.

Just a small suggestion I think a change to ‘Eureka! I found the lever!” would convey his happiness and relief to have found the level a little stronger. This first part really described the place of the Voodoo lady to be very interesting, and certainly fits her role. Interesting that despite the Voodoo lady’s warnings, he still wanted to overcome his fear of porcelain by grabbing the book. I was pretty curious at this point why she was against helping him.

‘Repeating the phrase…” suggest a colon after phrase to connect the dialogue stronger. Wow, so turning into porcelain was definitely his worst nightmare come true and turns out the Voodoo lady was correct in her assessment. ‘And cursing turning Elaine…” I’m assuming you mean cursing and turning? Sounds as if he is the last person who should be using magic given the examples you have provided.

The trip definitely got frustrating as he expected- especially evident with his second letter. I laughed so hard when I read that he actually wasn’t turned into porcelain, His wife is awesome too to go to such lengths considering his hallucinations and not getting out of pool. Turns out he just should have asked her help in the first place. Nice job!

Hi, Fee! This time I'm fandom blind, but I'll do my best to review. :)

Aha! In medias res beginning. :D It's actually a very gripping start, because the main conflict is immediately brought up. The narrator, Guybrush, has a phobia towards porcelain. In the mean time, he's stuck with a porcelain. Also, how can he end up in the middle of the sea? Well, of course, it'll be explored soon. ;)

The depiction of the attempt to perform the self-hypnosis is very, very well done. The list of stuff needed to perform the hypnosis makes the process look very much like a ritual or a witchcraft. And then Guybrush mixing all of them in the bathtub and chanting the mantra ["I no longer fear porcelain."] just make it further look like something supernatural. It rings true with the earlier part: Voodoo.

The irony. ;P Poor Guybrush becomes a porcelain statue? Ow! The panic attack is really a great and fitting reaction for someone with porcelain phobia. And it's so bad that he curses others by accident... Hoo boy!

How everything comes around into the in medias res is also well done. Very coherent. It's about Guybrush desperately trying to find a way to get rid of the curse. But his journey becomes a chaos. And it's a bittersweet one. Guybrush is no longer a porcelain statue, but he isn't cured of his phobia. And worse, he's stranded in the middle of the sea alone... So bittersweet!

Well, not really. ;P But the last part is a heartwarming read. Turns out that everything is just an illusion caused by Guybrush's self-hypnosis. Really like that Elaine comforts him and how Guybrush thinks of Elaine. She is a good wife indeed.

Quick pointers:
- I notice a few typos in spelling (e.g. 'leaver' should be 'lever' and 'accidently' should be 'accidentally'), but running the document through a spellcheck should do. :)
- A few sentences can use a comma to make them look less like a run-on and improve the readability, such as [After several minutes of running around the mansion(,) I calm myself down enough to read through the book] and [With my crew assembled(,) we set sail for Plunder Island.]
- Maybe you can vary the beginning of a paragraph. Right now, I see some paragraphs begin with 'I,' which look quite repetitive. Just my thought in the style, though.

Well done.
