Thanks so much for the review! 

I actually have this posted on a few other sites, so that might be the reason for the lack of attention here?

Anyways, to address your comments... I totally agree with her 'name' thing. It was difficult to come up with a way for her to gain a name. At the time it was simply her deciding it was far better than anything else and it 'felt' right, besides she had more things to worry about than what a crazy pirate was calling her. All I can say is I currently have plans to address that later as well as a few other things she's been 'brushing off'.

I do know my story comes across cliched, and I really don't know what to say to that. I've never really cared either way about cliches and troupes, so I tend to not notice them when they are used. (I guess that's something I need to work on.) My only defense is that there is nothing new under the sun and I have far too much fun writing this to really care about my use of cliches. I also am not sure they will stay that way? I can't really say anything without giving away spoilers so I guess we'll have to wait till the end, right?

Anways, thanks again! I really appreciate comments, they are like my muse or something. It really is motivating when someone tells you what a great job you're doing. I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you will continue reading.
