Omg. *giggles* This was so cute. Our James... and young Elizabeth. I can so imagine this scenario. Very well done.

Thanks, I'm so glad you liked this.

Thank you very much!

Cute! Adorable icon, too. :) What scene from COTBP was that again? I really don't feel like hauling the DVD out right now...

classics_lover October 16 2006, 15:30:11 UTC

Thanks.

The icon I think is from the deleted/extended scene where he wishes Elizabeth Good Luck. (I think). It's made by Kylliki, if you'd like to snaffle it she's the one who gets credit. :-)

Darnit, I really need to see that scene... I'm in Europe and the DVD I have doesn't have special features. :(

This was so cute. It had me in giggles the whole time. Very nice.

Oh that was a most splendid fanfic! Your characterizations were flawless and the idea was refreshing. I loved every moment of it. Your writing style is unique and lovely to read ( ... )

Thank you very much for such a wonderful piece of feedback!

The Charles Spaniel thing is true - every year I see this Georgian music/dance troupe and the girls' hair is done in ringlets or buns and they look like floppy dog-ears, lol, so I had to put it in.

The forgetting of the English language is one I should credit Steven Moffat with - have you ever seen Coupling? JackDav is brilliant in it, and has on one or two occasions forgotten how to speak. Great fun. ;-)

I enjoy Governor Swann, he's a canny fellow with a good heart, and he seems to genuinely like Norrington, too. It's interesting to try and figure out their dynamic.

If you enjoyed this, feel free to take a look at sheebeen which is where I put all my fics now. The PotC ones are mostly slash, but if that squicks you, I do het in The Wedding Date fandom and Coupling fandom (both, naturally enough, starring the delightful Mr Davenport).

Ha ha. I do adore the Coupling. I miss having BBCAmerica as they used to show it. I've been trying my hardest to watch episodes online but haven't found much so I'm languishing for more. :( I don't remember hearing that particular turn of phrase used but I haven't seen much of the Coupling.

I think Gov. Swann is underappreciated really. He is a nice man and I do love his interaction with Norry.

I will def. look at your fics. I don't like slash but I can't believe you write Wedding Date stuff! I loved that movie (wish there had been more of the English people than the silly American leads actually. Ha ha) so I got really excited when I read you wrote fanfic for it. :D And coupling fanfic too! Awesome. I will def. check it out sometime soon.
