A quick note to "The future Mrs. Turner"! Well, my first flame! I'm so proud.

It was not a flame, if you bothered to read over the third sentence of my review. It was addressed to "the fangirls embedded in your fic, and doubtless a few who are reading it". The "you" addressed throughout is "you" PLURAL and excludes you, the authoress. (Maybe I should start posting in Spanish, which has "you" plural, to avoid confusion.) I don't know where you got the idea that you were being insulted, except from your own defensiveness and high sensitivity to criticism.

But I'd like to state a few things first, before I let you think that your "flame" has goaded me into discontinuing this fic:

If I had wanted you to discontinue this fic, I would have reported it for using the review system as a message board. I never said that I wanted you to stop writing, only that I wished the fangirls in your story would show Miss Swann a little bit of respect.

1. I will be recieving a letter from Will?! OH BOY! A fictional character will find my address and mail it to be and be "threatening!" Excuse me for not quaking in my boots.

Excuse me. I did not threaten ANYONE in my review. To do so would have been unseemly, out of character, and illegal. What I meant was, "You (meaning the FICTIONAL FANGIRLS, dearest author) will be getting a letter from Will via the review system."
I'm a bit tired, and I have a paper to write. Would anyone here like to write a review in the character of Will? Better yet, one of you could write a review as Will, one as Jack, one as Norrington, and so on. Be sure to have them be inventive, without being true flames, so that the author can misconstrue your intent as she did mine.
"Authorette", I never wanted you to "quake", only to improve. I guess that's too much to ask, eh? Of course, the question now is, if you don't want to improve, why are you writing?

2.If I am shallow for writing an Elizabeth bashing fic, then YOU'RE shallow for writing in as Elizabeth Swann!

Mrrr? *examines sentence* I'm shallow for writing in the personality of a character I like? Perhaps this is simply too profound a statement for me to process; would anyone else like to give it a go?

If you're not going to use a suitable penname, then for God's sake, do NOT use a character in a movie.

Here's where I go down the list of your reviewers and find these names: orlandosONLYgirl11, Cap'n Lex Turner,*sparrow~faerie*, Sparrow's angel, Will'sLittlePirate/POTCchick, legolaslover2, jack's Lass, A Bloom, and what do you know, Mrs Jack Sparrow, who is a lot more implausible than "the future Mrs. Turner". It's disgraceful to use a character in a movie as a penname, but somehow it's more mature to have an actor or a character in a movie as PART of your penname? Or better yet, to profess to be the LOVER of an actor or a character in a movie as part of your penname? Leveling the charge of hypocrisy at someone is a dangerous game, but I have the sneaking suspicion, "Authorette", that if I had reviewed your story positively, with the words "the future Mrs. Turner" meaning myself and not Elizabeth, you wouldn't have given my penname a second thought.

I believe myself and the other "obsessed" fangirls know that Will Turner is not real. So in reality, you're the sad one for believing that you are "Elizabeth Swann"

You might be unfamiliar with the concept, but there is a term for those who temporarily don the names and traits of others, for their entertainment and everyone else's. In the real world, it's called "acting." In the fanfiction world, it's called "role playing." I can understand your confusion, since in your fic you don't deal with role-playing at all, that is, keeping the canonicals in character, but rather suffer the entrance of myriad little self-inserts into the story who only pretend to be more perfect, wacky, or interesting versions of what they are in real life.
