As previously stated I'm enjoying the story a lot. Have you determined an ending? |

I look forward to seeing how it develops. Is the story just about this one voyage, or does it cover all of Blackthorne's life? Or both!? _________________ The Code is the Law. |

It's just about this one voyage. I've been writing bits of Blackthorne's story for 20 years now. This one takes place prior to most of what I've written. |

Really? Nice. I run an RPG and unlike most GMs, I have a character as well (I am good at not meta-gaming). My current campaign has been going for nearly twenty years, following the same main character. Other players come and go, but my guy has been at it a while....
Maybe you should publish more of his story.

Similar story here. Most of Blackthorne's story was created through free-form roleplaying/cooperative storytelling. Almost none of it has been written into narrative form, though, so it's not publishable.
I did work on a novel with another writer, but it was never finished. The one Blackthorne short story I submitted for publication didn't get any interest. |

Aye, I get you. Almost none of what I have done is in the right format for publishing. Ah well. I meant publish on here. The story is really good. _________________ The Code is the Law. |

That is an interesting event involving Mrs. Henry and the Captain. |

I thought it could happen eventually, but not as quickly as it did. |

Same. I appreciate that you made it clear what happened without gory detail. I have seen some "fanfics" (for lack of a better term) that read more like pornos. Thank you for avoiding that. _________________ The Code is the Law. |

Yeah, it can get kind of gross when it's described in too much detail. I don't like writing graphic sexual stuff. It's more of a challenge to describe it obliquely and tastefully without getting into cliches. Hopefully I managed it OK. |

Another interesting turn of events! The good Captain certainly knows where items could be hidden on his ship |
