Oh, holy crap -- you wrote a bodice-ripping chapter!!! Well done.
Author's Response: Woo hoo! Bodice ripping! I know it wasn't what people were probably expecting, but hey, gotta keep them on their toes! Hee. As long as James still got an eyefull to help notch that tension up, I consider my job done. Well, not done, much more steamy goodness to come, of course! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Finally reading.
There are a couple of blank spaces before "They had been at sea for two days now"; you may want to fix those when you add the next chapter.
Ooh, indecently tight breeches. I don't think you mentioned those before. I'm sure I would have remembered indecently tight breeches where you could almost see their...woo, look at the time!
Creed made sure he wasn't the one to go...oh, yes, we know that's what Creed would do!
I like how you dealt with the Dutch boarding the ship and Jim's reaction to Kelly's abduction.
And does anyone know what to say to Creedles?
Good job! Glad to know more will be coming along at some point!
Author's Response: Thanks, Kev! I can honestly say that this story wouldn't have been much without your superb beta skills!

Yay, great stuff. This is one of my favorite ongoing stories. Loved the stuff with Creedles.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Larry! It means a lot coming from such an established fic writer as yourself! :)

This is just so impressive and funny as all hell. When you translated what Creed said as "makes a wonderful pea soup" I nearly fell off the couch laughing. I just adore how true to character you are managing to stay even in this extreme AU. For example the fact that James is still obviously a prankster (raccoon eyes for Obadiah/Dwight). There was a moment when I thought for SURE you were going to pull a "that's what she said" (when James said something about "taking her hard to port" to Captain Scott. lol. Couldn't make that sound period, huh? hehehe
Author's Response: Ahh! I was desperate to add a little TWSS! But you were exactly right, I couldn't quite fit that phrase to the times. I'll have to see if I can't find a similar phrase to use in those situations. I really appreciate all of the wonderful reviews you have left, they have really made me smile!

Aw, poor Kelly! But Creed was so perfect in this chapter - hilarious!
Author's Response: Yes, poor Kelly indeed! But she'll be okay. She's a fighter, that one! Thanks for reading!

Dutch! Very impressive. Who knew Creed was such a skillful negotiator. Nice job!
Author's Response: Why thank you! I sincerely believe that Creed has many, many hidden talents. Many of which are proabably disgusting and considered crimes in most civilized countries.

Tessa, I haven't giggled this much since The Scranton Witch Trials. I love these crazy, historical AU fics!
This story reminds me of my days devouring these smutty novels by the dozen. I much prefer fanfic now; what does that say about me? Hmm?
Looking foward to more adventure on the high seas mate!
Author's Response: I loved those smutty novels, too! I remember when I read my first one, and it actually was a pirate one! It was one of my friend's mom's, and I just randomly picked it up and began reading. I read the first smut scene and was like AHHHH! Then I was like, hey this is okay...wait...no this is awesome! Oh, pirate smut. Thanks so much for the review!

WTH? Dutch!? You frickin' crack me up Tessa...what a superb story; oh when will the bodice ripping commence? Will it be in a hammock as discussed on TWoP?
Author's Response: God, I am still trying to figure out how to work the hammock in! It is a necessity. And I think it's time for some good bodice ripping. I was going to try and hold out, make this progress like the show. But then I realized, hey! This is a friggin' pirate fic. High stakes on the high seas. Bring on the good stuff. So I hope to steam up chapter 4...

There are so many funny things about this story and what it does to me.
1) Whenever I read it, I'm reading it with a pirates' accent in my mind. I have no idea why! I just do.
2) As a result of #1, I giggle A LOT while reading it.
I love all of the names that you've given the characters. I especially liked "Creedles" in this chapter because all I could picture was this stout little man (who looks just like Creed, but is maybe a little person) and that greatly amused me as well. You certainly gave him the perfect role. Of course he knows Dutch! :)
It's funny because in a lot of stories like this (that include the ensemble, but are also very Jim/Pam focused) I'm always thinking, "All right, all right, enough with the other characters...let's get to the Jim-Pam!!!" But that's not the case at all with this one. I mean, I love the Jim/Pam moments in the story but I also really love the other characters little bits too! :D
Author's Response: Did someone say they were ready for some Jim/Pam moments? Working on them right now. I'm so happy you're enjoying the ensemble, I was worried that people might not. But the next chapter is definitely bringing the JAM back... ;) Thanks for reading/reviewing!

I can't wait to see what happens. AHH!!
Author's Response:
AHHH! I can't wait to write it either! I'm diligently working as we speak. Hopefully I can get it out faster than usual for you! Thanks for keeping up with it!

Omygosh! This is so much fun!!! I was initially very wary of this fic- not a particular fan of Pirates of the Carribean and the like, but decided to try at least the first chapter- which btw, was absolutely absorbing, and hilarious- not to mention dizzingly romantic! I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter!

Woo hoo, bodice ripping! Albeit not the kind I was expecting. Very funny names for the characters, Kevin the Seaman, Janette LeVinsón, I laughed out loud at both of those. You write a great Kevin. Good job!
Author's Response: Hey, I gotta keep you on your toes! I wouldn't want the story to be predictable, now would I? I'll figure a way to stick some more in at some point (aaahh...TWSS), and this time it will be the good kind! ;)

Author's Response: Will do!

A) Captain Janette LeVinsón made me laugh like a lunatic. I loved it.
B) Can't wait for the next chapter! I really like this story. :)
Author's Response:
A) I must credit my brilliant beta AngryHaiku for the idea for Janette LeVinson. I nearly choked on my Diet Coke when she suggested it. :)
B) Hooray! I am loving that you are enjoying it! I promise there will be more soon!

SO. VERY. COOL!!!! I love these AU fics that stay true to the characters. The purser...hahahahahaha!
Author's Response: Yay! You got the purser! That just made me do a little happy dance! I snorted when writing that. I see Michael equating Oscar with Tinky Winky of the Teletubbies. Hee hee. Thanks for the review!

OoOoOoOoOo!! I definetly like where this is going!! There is just something about pirates!!! mmmm...but wow...such an intese story and there is only two chapters so far! I love how michael is the crazy captain and Jim his first mate. I would loooooved to see Jim hunt Royce down and challange him to a duel (wiinning of course) and he is out of the picture where Pam is free to do what she wants. But what I really want is another update asap!!! Such a great start please continue!!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! And ooo, a duel. That will definitely need to be worked into the story! There will be more to come very soon...

Great 2nd Chapter. You've got me hooked!

How nice are you! I would act modest, but let's be honest, I am absolutely thrilled you are enjoying the story!

Oh, no, you said that you liked my characters' names...yours are magnificent! This is hiliarous...I bow to your superior historical fic writing skills.
And...I'm not a hussy!
Author's Response:
I think we can both admit to being history hussies. As I said over in TWoP, great my think alike, my friend! It's not our fault we're so brilliant, is it?

I. LOVE. THIS. STORY. It's so well written. Just...yea. Update every second of the day.

Unbelievable that this is your first fic!! Here come some constructive compliments (I hope). First, the whole idea is awesome. The descriptions, their conversations, they were all so them, but yet so whatever time period they are in. The Dunder Mifflinia, Mad Meredith, strategizing strategies and poor Pamela with her efforts going unnoticed - this is all so fantastic. I can't wait to read more. Forgot to add, I love the title too!!
Author's Response: You completely just made my morning! I am so happy that you like the crazy idea of pirates and The Office. It's been too much fun to write. Chapter 2 is being beta'd as we speak, so hopefully it will be up very soon. Thank you so much for your wondeful review!!! :)

This is a fun concept ;) Looking forward to seeing where you go with it! I love how you managed to keep characterization true even in this bizarre setting - Michael is just right.
Author's Response: I just have this feeling that Michael Gary Scott would be completely ridiculous no matter which time period he lived in. Thank you so much for the comments!
