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!

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!
