Alright.. I can see that this hasn't been updated in quite some time.. And I think that's probably for the best.. BUT! That being said I still need to say what needs to be said here.

Number one: "Jacky Barbossa"? Really? Right out of the gate your character sends out the worst Mary Sue vibes just from that name alone. Like you couldn't think of anything better then just sticking an 's' on the end of another characters name? Or maybe one that sounds more, oh I don't know.. Era appropriate? But I digress. The name I'm afraid has given way to what is the terrible and horrible truth. Your Jacky is a horrible Sue my friend. I'll prove this with a few questions here. First being why would Governor Swan hire some random girl in a bar to protect his daughter? And why would the Governor of the Port be in a bar next to a brothel at all? Also, now where it's not entirely impossible that Barbossa would have a sister, why would they both be so casual about being reunited after being gone for so long? Not to mention that the type of person Barbossa has become by now would be a very different person then "Jacky" remembered.. We're to beleive that she just accepts her brother as a notorious pirate captain and that no one else would have noticed they were related? Barbossa is my favorite character in the movies and this really doesn't do him any justice, I'm sorry to say.. And everyone is so stricken with her willowy beauty.. Really? This is just the biggest Sue quality of them all. Pirates are rough, even female pirates.. On another note, though she might have mens clothing on it would be highly unlikely she would chop ehr hair off because even men had long hair back then.

Which brings me to two! That you've essentially just written Jacky into The Curse of the Black Pearl, with a ton of wrong lines might I add, is a horrible way to write a fanfiction.. There are so many possibilities for other storylines in the Pirates univers.. And it's really hard to imagine your character is just magically in this story along with the other chracters..

Three! The love interenst. Jack Sparrow does not love your charater and he never will. He is a lying, unfaithful, selfish pirate whose one and only love is the sea. Keep these imporatant chracter traits in mind as you manipulate him to be in love with your Sue here..

Four: What is going on with the timeline here eactly? In the beginning Elizabeth says they have just arrived on shore? So has Jacky been her body guard for ten years since the very next chapter is Norrington's promotion ceremony? I don't understand what is going on here.

Now I don't know if you ever plan on continuing or finishing this so I won't go to far into what you have here about the whole being the grandaughter of Davey Jones nonsense you have going on in the summary.. But I sincerely hope youv've improved since writing this..

Oh.. And PS. Beards don't reach people cheeakbones usually or ever.. Did you mean jawbone in this bit of Chapter 2 when you're describing Jack here? Bet you mean jawbone. Or chin, where beards usally grow without making the person look freakish..
