Fun Fun Fun!

Those Puritins and their stupid laws! They kill everything! - Did you know that it's still technically illegal to comit adultery in Massachusetts (although Im not sure whether or not it counts if you live in MA and you have an affair elsewhere, or if it counts for out-of-town-ers who have affairs in MA) becaue no one will get rid of it since they think that that will promote adultery. Fred would not have liked being in Massachusetts when those laws were inforced.
Why is it more dangerous with the girls on board? Are they accident-prone? Is he affraid they'll seduce the crew members? Do they have a habit of getting into trouble? Or is it just that it's supposedly bad luck to have a woman onboard, so two should be twice as bad (is it two, do we know how many of them there are?) and that since they're there he has to make sure that they stay safe and out of ham's way on top of all the other things that he has to take care of?
Typo: "...and they no nothing about a sea battle..." Again with the knows! You've got to no your nose, you no?! Know? Well why not? You no there's know way this will stop until you get to noing and checking your nose! (heehee, that was fun to write)
What's a Midshipmen?
Hamilton needs to get a life. It's great to aspire to have your superior's respect and friendship, but for that to be all that matters to you, you either have to have absolutely no other friends, absolutely no selfconfidence in other aspects of your life, or absolutely no life.
So sad. Fairbanks is looking forward to maybe making commodore soon and he's gonna die befor he gets the chance. (assuming that Piratey and Mister Lordy's deal works out that is)
RUM!
I like how you commented on how it was rude to ask a superior how long he'd been in the buisness, but said nothing about asking how old he is - usually one of the most offensive questions anyone can ask, to anyone not just their superiors. Although I do understand the you've already established that he is asking about things that he shouldn't be asking about, I just think it's funny.
Bloody Hell! (sorry, couldn't resist)
Why is it shocking that Fairbanks started at thirteen? Hamilton started at fourteen! That's only one year's age differnce. Although Fairbanks had been sailing for two years prior to that, so it could besaid that he was eleven when he started, depending on how you look at it.
Yeoman. Define. (please)
I love it. Some guy slit his throat... and he lived to tell about it!
Why does everyone in all your stories play a musical instrument?! Some of them coughNatcough even play several! You know, not everyone can just pick up a random instrument that's lying around and start playing it in real life! I wanna know how to play an instrument! Make a story with me where I do! Please. And whatever happened to that story with the easter bunny, and the fairy, and the two guys, and the flaming stabbing death, and the deserted island, and the time travel, that you were going to write for me?!?!?!
That song was NOT in another language! How drunk IS this guy?!
Don't tell the Brits that Boston looks just like London. They'll get mad. Do you remember how Fred reacted when you started talking about the revolution?
Green flash... Green flash... Green flash... I know I've heard that before. What's it supposed to mean? I hate forgetting things! Ga! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Fun Fun Fun!

Yay for me finally reviewing! Ta-Da!

Almost as powerful as the East India Trading Company?! Wow. But can it get the English government to bail it out when it faces bankrupcy like they did?
No offense to him, but Lord Julian Brimingham sounds just a little greedy. He was born into a wealthy family and then he decided that he wanted to ammass wealth of his own. Again, no offense to him, but is there any point where he'd accept that he has enough money and retire? Or does he just like working for a living? That would be understandable.
I love that line: "He was not wrong". I just do.
I like how you abbreviated it as "the E". HeeHee. It sounds funny. It does. Say it. The E. You know it's true.
I like that for a ship's name. The Serenity. It sounds really pretty and majestic and ship-like.
Why will it be carrying his friend's daughters? And where will it be carrying them to?
I get the idea, but brandy tends to cause throbbing headaches. It might not be the best idea to try to use it to cure them. Think about it Mister Lordy! (lol! I love that, Mister Lordy! That's what I'm calling him from now on.)
I like Evanwood. He sneaks up behind people.
Typo alert: "I mean you know harm"
Crash and burn! WOOHOO! (Althoug I have to disagree with him on wheteher or not it's a fair trade)
He reminded me of Will Turner when he was all, "I do not make deals with pirates!"
Me, I'm dishonest. Honestly! And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you have to watch out for. Because you never know when they'll do somehting incredibly, incredibly stupid. Sorry, but Jack's voice just popped into my head when the piratey said that he was a man of his word.
I love how they just shook hands. It makes it funner (and probably more acurate), but Mister Lordy you need to learn to always, ALWAYS get it in writing!
I like how he regrets the loss of the ship and of the captain and lieutenant, but not of all the time and money spent to make the ship.

Me Likey!
You know you love my long, random, almost-entirely-irrelevant-to-the-plot reviews!

You know the deal. Be prepared.

Stephanie: Hehe, I like his name. He'll have a big part, right? Boston? I guess you have a right, esp. since some of the main characters are from Charleston (P.S, the old spelling was Charles Town. They combined it after a while. Just saying. XD)
Why must I hate Evanwood? He sounds cool. Fairbanks better be cool, or else I'm siding with the pirate on this one. Birmingham rules. I'm sorry, but I like him. He's a Lord, like Beckett! I like Beckett.
And he gets drunk? LOL, I had so much fun picturing that.
Thats about it... update soon!

Richard: COOL. I seriously like this alot. Evanwood is a BAMF. I must agree with Steph, why do we hate him? He's so arrogant and cruel, I like him! People are gonna die, aren't they? Make the deaths dramatic. Muhahahaha. I'm a violent person. Birmingham is alright, will he die? I kinda don't want him to. Kill one of the daughters. DRAMA. Edward had better be cool too, or else. Or else what? I do not know. Please let him fight some pirates and be a BAMF himself. We southerners need a good name.
You girls and Brits. I will never understand. So...ya. That's it. Update please. Thank you.
