I read this last night and noticed a couple minor typos and such within it - you might want to proofread it once more, if that bothers you. ^_^

Other than that very interesting! His long hair seems.... almost ridiculously long but the rest if quite belieavable for PotC. Good fun, and I can't wait for more!

Dude, thank you! ^^ Yeah the typoes, I do apologize. Usually I run everything through a spellcheck but I'm typing this one into LJ straight away as it comes into my head, cause Word seriously slows down the work computer. Actually, looking at it slows down the work computer, you get the idea. XD But yes, I shall just copy&paste and run it through a spellcheck now.

The long hair ... let's see, he's gone from shoulder-length to waist length since 1722 .. he's had 14 years. XD Assuming he let it grow without pause. Which he probably didn't. He's just kind of gradually lost the plot since meeting Jack. And seamen did use to have epic queues of hair, I'm just thinking Killick in Master&Commander when it rains... XD

Anyway, do you like privateer/Jamie?!

[canadian_jay]

Lol! Silly Word... have you tried OpenOffice or something similar? That might work better. (Or you could get FF and get a spellcheck in the browser!)

Oh yes! Well, it wasn't the length time so much as the actual length of hair itself. But I suppose my modern colours are showing when I cringe at the thought of a man with loose waist-length hair. *embarrased grin* xD Epic queues are good fun, though!

Do I like privateer!Jamie! I love him. Quite a lot. ^_^ And lulz at the brandy comment!

I'm home now so i just tried my own word but that doesn't have a program for English spellchecking, as I'm German. Wtf, how hard can it be? How did I use to do this? Working on it. >_>

You're not one of those who go for men with epic hair then? XD I prefer styled hair over length - quality over quantitiy. I've seen too many metalheads with nice but boring plain long hair swinging it about to get too excited over it ... but hell, it's what James told me he had. I supposed I'd let him have his bout of anarchy against convention. XD

Yeah the brandy. He's a bit of a sot isn't he lol Bless him. I suppose he'll get crates of brandy and from ME if he uncovers Floyd!

[canadian_jay]

Heh! Good luck. I think once you find a 'languages' panel (try misspelling something, if you're having a hard time finding it... its in the dropdown rightclick) you're good to go.

LOL! I too like style over length. Although a really long braid would be lurvely. Long, loose hair on guys just reminds me of bad pulp romance covers... >.>

Hee!

[lokisday]

It should be better up on FF.net now> http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5802108/1/Butterflies_and_Hurricanes as I used their spellcheck ^^ Thanks!

Pulp romance covers! Lolz! Brilliance! I know what you mean though. I think the last guy I found really hot with epic non-styled long hair was the guy who played Romeo in the French musical and I've clean forgotten his name so I'll list Louis de la Pointe du Lac instead, who has short hair in the book and therefore doesn't count. XD Point being ... yeah, it lost its appeal at some point.

However, for James it sort of signifies freedom, hedonism and imitating Jack Sparrow. ^^

[canadian_jay]

^__^

Lol, yeah, definitely.

But if that's James' reasoning, than I'm completely behind it! xD

[lokisday]

I'm glad to hear it ^^ I've updated btw, part 3 is up :)
