And so the next adventure begins. The Master sort of reminds me of another Master ;). However, this Master is not evil...perhaps the 'good Master'. I look forward to reading the next fic. Cheers.

A great ending to a great fic. All I can say is well done, it has been an amazing adventure. The way you have depicted the final turn of events was thrilling. Although I already know what's going to happen, it is exciting none the less. I must make special mention of Jack's "compliment" of Will having a nice hat, like when watching the movie, I enjoyed a good laugh concerning this point. At last Will finally comes through for he pirate captain, when it counts the most. I cheered at the end when Sparrow gets his ship back; the way you have described this moment portrays the fullfilment of both protagonists. Calypso's reactions throughout this chapter were entertaining, especially the comment about a good use of Will's stubbornness (Taurus). Congratulations on a great fic. Thanks.

A post-modernist chapter by definition. Within the domain of time, it shifts from the past, to the present to the future. One thing which Calypso has demonstrated is that the way to get to Captain Jack Sparrow is through his ego. As his guide, she obviously knows this and works with it to help him out of his sorrowful mood. It was very cool to hear Calypso discuss her previous assignments and even more so the interest which Jack expressed in this. The trust between the two characters in this chapter is actualised and solidified. Furthermore the depth of the relationship is demonstrated.

At the beginning and end of this chapter, it seems as though the piracy of Jack Sparrow has left a lasting impression on your spirit guide. In terms of 'lasting impression' I mean the thrist for treasure, the motivation that is being a pirate. This represents an internal conflict of interest, though one which you quickly overcome until the time is appropriate. This chapter was full of swashbuckling action. The fight between the two pirate masters was well described and ultimately thrilling. Your spirit guide's commentary concerning the fate of Barbossa was excellent with the quote "Famous last words" and the concept that the first thing Barbossa should feel was death... Well written.

A crafty slight of hand on Jack's behalf. Like Jack weaving his intricate plan for success (albeit by cursed or "insured" means)you have weaved this chapter carefully. I found your reactions to Will turner in this chapter entertaining, especially the "eunuch" comment. Furthermore, the depth of the spiritual bond between your guide and Captain Sparrow was demonstrated when he willingly undertakes the curse. The reactions of your guide at this point (and the way in which you expressed them) were moving, although with the gift (or curse?) of knowing the fate of your assignment and his 'insured' outcome, your geniune care and bond was displayed when Jack's life-force is forfeited. All up a solid chapter.

Jack to Rum is like Baby to bottle. In this chapter you have captured the desperation of Elizabeth: firstly in her effort to escape from the island and secondly to do whatever she must in order to get to Will, up and pertaining to wedding Norrington. Not only have you captured her desperation, but her determination. I consider Elizabeth's angst and Jack's mannerisms to be the strength's of writing in this chapter.

A pirates life for me! Our protagonist hero reaches an all-time low so it would seem. Your spirit guide tied in well with the vocal interaction, issuing Jack a directive to explain the truth about his previous "stay" (or escape) on the island to Elizabeth. Your observations in this chapter were interesting, particularly concerning the injuries sustained by your assignment. As a whole, the transcription of the scenes in this chapter worked well, functioning well in the narrative form. All in all, I found that this chapter served to offer more of an insight into the enigma, that is, Jack sparrow. The interaction between your spirit guide as well as Sparrow's character also reflected something of your character's own personality, keeping a watch over him from a distance while intoxicated. Interesting. I look forward to the next chapter.

As the narrative progresses, the behaviour of the prodical son of "Old Bootstrap", William Turner, becomes increasingly frustrating. As it has been said before: although the guy means well, the way he goes about things leaves alot to be desired. He is a temperamental character who frequents the 'moral high ground'. These sentiments were observable through the reactions of your spirit guide. Your spirit guide's analysis of Jack's comment concerning his 'relation' to Will was informing, as well as entertaining. All up the chapter was entertaining and featured conscise language.

Blowing holes in ships presents the "nitty gritty" side of 'pirate politics'. I like the language which you have used to describe the interpersonal communication between Captain Jack and Barbossa. This chapter, as a whole, captures the sentiment of pirate dealings. Looking at the chapter from the POV of your spirit guide, it was refreshing to see Captain Jack asking you for insight into the future and what he should do. Throughout your fic, I have observed that he has hardly done this. Captain Jack is usually a 'take charge' kind of guy and the fact that in this situation he has called on your omnipotent abilities represents a development in the relationship between your two characters.

Apart from political exertion, the chapter was thrilling overall. Your interactions with (and reactions to) Jack during the "prison break" (:P) scene were entertaining. All up, the chapter flows well and offers a variety of action, thrills and close-calls. You have described these scenes well.

Action Ahoy. Your spirit guide's reactions to Will were merited in this chapter. He's positively annoying that fellow, I know he means well and all... I guess on at least a basic level, we may define Will's actions as 'counter-productive', to put it nicely. Your translation of Jack's epigram to Barbossa was hearty. Finally, your comment 'calling out' Jack as a worthy chess opponent was chuckle-worthy. Thankyou.

This chapter has been a good read. I particularly like how you textualised the interaction about Jack's famous escape from the island once before. Furthermore, the way in which you neatly inserted your spirit guide into the interaction, directing the captain to his renowned defense. Well done.

A gripping chapter. Gibbs always loves a good yarn, the more outlandish the better! With mention of 'the pirate code', I couldn't help remembering that they're more like 'guidelines'. Your reaction to Will's moralism was appropriate. Jack's quote at the end of the chapter is awesome, I believe it reveals to us something of his inner nature. A good read.

Yar! A befitting crew for a fine pirate captain. I always like how Jack is able to make the best out of any situation. The worse the conditions, the better he seems to work. He is highly resiliant (in many respects). Features of this chapter I particularly liked how you described the interaction with Mr. Cotton and even moreso Jack's "approval" or rather lack of concern. The dramatic outro was appropriate also.

"Gibbs and the pigs were instantly awake". I liked this line in the opening, it introduced Gibbs perfectly. I love the part when Jack is bribing Gibbs, they speak indirectly but share a common understanding. It reminds me of a section from Bram Stoker's Dracula describing indirect bribery "An interview with a surly gatekeeper and a surlier foreman, both of whom were appeased with the coin of the realm, put me on the track of Bloxam." The theme of bribery and "leverage" continues with Will. I particularly like how the "leverage" pun has been interwoven through the chapters, it is most effective.

The infamous Tortuga...our crew have finally made it.

I found your description of the conflict for power between Jack and Will interesting. It accurately portrays the displacement and confusion of power, well for our "prince charming" Will that is.

In terms of your spirit, the eye-rolling was well placed. It was also cheering to see you get some revenge for that scar you incurred thanks to the aforesaid "son of Bootstrap".
