Awwww! A Sparrington library service *g* I hope Jack comes up with the goods by 'next' time and gets to hear more of James reading aloud - who could get sick of listening to that voice?

Thank you so much for this - I think you captured them both very well. James mimicking Jack's speech made me chuckle, as did Jack fretting inwardly about the spilled ink - so typical *g*

[slashfairy]

oh GOOD. i'm glad it does the trick. i hope it more than makes up for the hassle of donating etc. we done good with that project, i think, us lj-fans.

*waves*

[the_cornettist]

I think I needed to be clearer, btw - you BOTH did a good job of capturing them so well - HUZZAH! and hats off to both you and poetic_self

It did indeed both do the trick and the donation thing is now long forgotten, wiped away by such a treat :D We have all indeed done most excellent!

Have you considered posting these to some of the pirate-y comms? From personal experience, I can heartily recommend both sparrington and _norrington - they're both very friendly places, and I know that many other people who frequent there will get much pleasure out of reading it too. Or I could post a link, if you'd prefer?

[slashfairy]

*bows*
if you'd like to link, we'd be glad for it!

Darling, you really MUST put this behind an LJ cut.

Thanks!

Norrington feels the need to open the window, and look what the breeze blows in!

I love the banter, especially when Norrington tries to imitate Jack and it causes temporary confusion. Love that the book Jack 'borrowed' was The Aeneid. Wonder what he would have "checked out" from the library this time had James not discovered him in his chair, and I really really like that Jack's been safekeeping the personal button that 'popped off' the Commodore's coat!

Good one, mate!

[slashfairy]

thanks. the window/breeze is me, the Norrington is p_s, so's the Aeneid and Pope. The button is p_s too,

[porridgebird]

Trading books! That is so one of my Sparrington kinks (yes, my kinks are unique hehe).

This is adorable, and I love your voices too. Thank you!!

[slashfairy]

thank you!
all credit for James goes to p_s, who hears him ever so much more clearly than i do.

[porridgebird]

Huzzah to p_s! Did you do Jack? Huzzah to you too! This was just delightful.

[slashfairy]

aw, thanks. yeah, Jack seems to come and hang out here a lot, so i *do* Jack.

i see you over there at pirategasm and so on- you're good. so praise from you is a pleasure.

He can afford to sway a little as he swaggers

Mr. - Swallow, was it?

their voices are dead on. :) lovely thought, the commodore reading aloud. one of these days i'll get my hands on something davenport-narrated.

[slashfairy]

i've got lots of dav-narration now, so just let me know, i'll send you some.

thanks, about the voices. yeah, i think we hear them pretty well.
