    Great story! I started reading it yesterday, and finished since then! :o) I lithe the way you portrayed Bootstrap Bill, I always wondered about him when I watched PotC (When I wasn't drooling over Johnny and Orlando, that is! :oP). I liked the ending, too. Ah, there were still some errors, LOL, like a couple of times when Jack became "ack," and some other little misspellings, but I really don't think they matter that much, it's just habit for me, since I work for an English professor. LOL, you certainly wrote a lot better than some of the papers I see! :o) Anyway, sorry that I couldn't have read it while you were writing it, and encouraged you with reviews, but I enjoyed it, and I didn't have to wait for updates, so that's always good! Well, I hope you have a wonderful day, and I'm just writing to let you know your story was cool...:o)

    I really enjoyed this story. I loved Will and Jack together and was very pleased that Bootstrap played such an integral part of the story. I will definitely be checking out your other stories. :-)

    I think you have talent. But the story is unbalanced. There is not a real end and sometimes the chapters don´t fit together. I think, you should look after a beta reader.
    Your writing style is good and you have nice ideas.

    I am so glad I read this after it was complete, even if there were no real cliff hangers. Overall, this fic was wonderfully great! I loved every minute of it. It's great how you can have angst one minute, then romance, then action, all flowing together to make an awesome story. There were mistakes where a leter was left out of a word, but keyboards are evil so that's ok. Plus, I was too wrapped up in the story to get distracted by that. I'm really looking forwar com companions to this, and I hope you have some up already. It's too bad you had to take this off ff.net because of people who do not know the meaning of review. But I understand how frustrating that is. I hope you don't think of this review that way. Great job, keep writing.

    I can't wait for your next PotC stories. So you'd best write more. You're too good to stop now, savvy?

    Hi: I really like your story and look forward to a lot more from you. I thought you might find the below interesting.
    Letters of Marque

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Definition:
    From: The advanced learner's dictionary of current English / by A.S. Hornby, E.V. Gatenby, H. Wakefield. - 2nd ed., 14th imp. - London : Oxford University Press, 1970

    Marque
    [ma;k] n. 1. letters of --, authority formerly given to private persons to fit out an armed ship and use it to attack, capture, and plunder of enemy merchant ships in time of war. 2. = mark, def. 11 (esp. of cars).

    The original function of a letter of marque (or Letter of Reprisal) was to right a private wrong. For example, when a Dutch merchant has his goods stolen in Germany, and he cannot gain satisfaction for his loss through legal or diplomatic means, he can be granted a Letter of Marque by the Dutch government. Such a letter allows him to "capture" a German merchant to compensate him for his loss. Since the early 18th century it was no longer in use as a means to right a private wrong. The function of the letter of Marque had changed. These letters were now used by governments, as an instrument of State, to augment the National Navy. This gave the state a naval force which could attack the commerce of the enemy at no cost to public funds. The ships captured had to be brought before an Admiralty Court and tried to ensure they were a legal prize, and not the property of a neutral state.
    The privateers acted on a commission recognised under the Law of Nations. One of the principle clauses of a letter of marque is that of specifically naming the country whose vessels can be legally captured. There were heavy penalties if the property of other nations was violated.
    Letters of Marque did not completely safeguard a privateer from prosecution even when ships of certain countries were excluded from attacks. When a ateeateer is captured by hostile nations he is often charged with being a pirate and swiftly executed. Also when countries make peace between them and a privateer fails to get the news about this in time he can be prosecuted if he continues to attack ships of the now friendly nation. Sometimes a privateer is such a long time away from home or the colonies that he only hears the news of a peace treaty when he returns home from his privateering enterprise.

    The use of Letters of Marque was discontinued by many countries who signed the Declaration of Paris in 1856. The United States as well as several other countries signed the International Treaty much later. The US was at that time much more dependent on their use to increase their Maritime power because they lacked a Large Navy.
