Clever format and summation of Liz's view on that so-small island, made even smaller by the amount of space taken up by one CJS.
Good job.

Thank you! It was fun to write, and even more fun to watch the deleted scene several times to make sure I had the details right.

The sacrifices we make for the sake of our art... :-)

*bounces*

So glad to see something new from you! I like it a lot, it works really well, Lizzie taking stock of the situation like this, and I'm especially fond of: kohl-smeared, bedraggled, and bedeviling... :-)

Thanks! I've been kinda burned out on PotC for awhile (didn't think it was possible, but there's a first time for everything) as well as on writing in general, and am just limbering up the old writing muscles again. Hence the funky format--keeping things interesting for myself.

*nods* I've had periods like that too, not wanting to do PotC, it's only natural, I suppose. But I have missed your writing, so it's nice to see you're stretching those muscles again :-)

Wonderful!

Oh, I like this. You really did a nice job with the format. It gives a new interpretation on the scene and how Elizabeth's mind was working. How fun.

Such fun. I love how this reads as a balance sheet--are these the debits or the credits? LOL.

Favourite lines:
sans dress, shoes, and dignity
Thoroughly amoral

Such a creative way to describe the two of them and to explore what went into that comment of Elizabeth's. It's good to see you return to writing. Let's hope your muse is ready to become busy.

Thanks! I'm glad it worked. I'm pretty sure these are all debits on Lizzie's balance sheet, as she hasn't gotten to "Item: cache full of rum. Item: one large bonfire. Item: very drunk pirate" yet.

Let's hope your muse is ready to become busy.

Me toooo. I miss writing. And I have a project to finish before PotC the second comes along and canon-shafts the whole damn thing. Argh.
