Ditto what Share said. Take all the time you need.
As far as the narrative goes, if after RL slows down a bit, you want to bounce ideas of someone, feel free to PM me.

Awesome! I can't wait to see how this turns out. You just made my weekend. Thanks!
One thing:
I just can't picture awkward twelve-year-old Melody as portrayed by Tara Strong in TLM II saying that phrase.
Maybe something like
"I could see if Tip and Dash can help. Maybe they've heard something, "
would've sounded more natural to me.

I'm a fanfic veteran, I've learned to wait. However, Powerdroid you might want to consider posting shorter chapters, this way you might find yourself having something to post more often, which will help satisfy your breathless fans *Cough*meeeeeeee*Cough*.
BTW I've updated BSS fairly recently and would really appreciate your input, whenever you get the chance.

Oooh. Interesting developments. I note you mentioned Port Royal, I'm not sure if this was just because you needed a name or you're planning what I hope you're planning. However, if you pulled off a realistic crossover with POTC in an already excellent fanfic I would be very happy. If not, I'll still be happy, but very slightly less so. I am slightly disappointed that at least for the time-being there is no Mer-Eric, but I'll live. Wonderful characterization and plot as always, but if you don't get somebody "under the sea" in the next chapter I might start becoming impatient.

*Nods* No rushing of the art needed.
I can be patient. Sometimes. Sorta. Maybe. ERR...
Well, if it's worth the wait (which I'm sure it is) I'll manage somehow. *Sniff* *Tear*
*Smiles despite self* Dang, I'll never get the Oscar now.
BTW I updated my story a bit after you updated yours. Great minds think alike. Take a look whenever you get the chance.

Wooh-Update! Wonderful chapter. Loved the explanations. Admitidly my first thoughts upon reading the name "Dread Pirate Roberts" were 'OMG, WESTLEY, SQUEE'-Wait. Not Westley. Wah.' But I got over my disappointment. PLEASE tell me you'll find a way for Eric to become a merman. Pretty please? With sugar on top? If not-cool. But if you do it'll make me happy. Happier I should say, cause I was VERY happy to see this latest installment. keep up the GREAT work!

OOOOH! To quote Ariel, "I want moooooore!". Please. Seriously, loved it. Anxiously awaiting the Seawitch backstory.

I must now do the annoying fangirl thing and go "SQUEEEEEEEEEE!" Awesome twist. Witchy back-story is always good and I am liking Smyth, he intrigues me. I am awaiting your next update with bated breath, so make it soon please. I would have reviewed earlier but I've been having trouble with my account.

*Nods* That may be true, but I can still see your style come through, and it works very well.

Awesome so far! I think I prefer this to "A Cure For Adella", not because that wasn't wonderful, which it really was, but because: A) This story takes place after the move (after both, if you really want to be specific), which in general interests me more than prequel era fics. B) It focuses on Ariel AND Eric (Poor boy really doesn't get enough characterization). C) It has a somewhat darker, more dramatic feel, which is always good. (Unless you kill off a character I don't feel should die, *cough*J. K. Rowling*cough* .) Keep writing, because I for one, will be reading!

Hey! I'm glad you like. It is a little cut off. Basically Ursula catches herself mid-reverie and slams the mental "door", if you will.
BTW Just read A Cure to Adella and I loved it! Top-notch characterization. I really like Oubliette. She is very much an anti-Sue.
Go ahead and write your take, please! I love good fic. Though at this point I'm DYING for a good Ariel/Eric post-wedding romance/adventure/drama/comedy. Preferably with cameo's by series characters (Especially Spot and Urchin) and MerEric-at least for a little while.

Summery: One of Disney’s most famous villainesses reflects on the eve of her triumph. HIGHLY inspired by the musical “Wicked”. Some direct quotes, but I wont say which ones. Those of you who know the musical will find them easily, and those who don’t will not be spoiled.
I will say that the last two lines ARE from “Wicked”, and are not my own creation. That being said, this isn’t a direct copy of the musical (which I adore, as you can see by my username), I simply took tiny pieces and tweaked them to suit my needs.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not Eisner/Igor, Not Maguire, not anybody officially affiliated with TLM or “Wicked” in anyway. Please don’t sue. ____________________________________________________________
It really was astounding just how well things had fallen into place. The boy had really been as stalwart, honest, and true as the little princess had imagined-which made him the perfect pawn. Genuinely good people with nothing to hide seldom had much in the way of mental defense. All the better for her.
Self-same princess was most likely crying her distraught little heart out right now. Pathetic. Stupid girl had never even guessed the plot she had become a part of. Oh, she hadn't been without her reservations; she wasn't quite that stupid. Naive, but hardly unintelligent. Of course the little idiot had bet everything on the fact that "true luuurve" would conquer all.
Anybody with any sense knew that love was a weakness, a luxury even the mightiest of kings hadn’t been able to retain. Love was something easily exploited, pointless except as a means to an end.
*Well, what are you cooking in that cauldron of yours?*
'A way to turn you into something that doesn’t talk so much. Now hush! I need to concentrate.'
He chuckled.
*You’d miss me before long.*
'I’d miss you like a guppy misses a shark...'
*Here. It’s for you. I know it isn’t much, but I want you to have something to remember me by.*
'No, it’s beautiful! But why would I need something to remember you by? You’re right here.'
*And here’s where I want to stay forever, but Fate may have other plans for us.*
'What do I care about Fate!'
He chuckled, as he always did.
*Well far be it for me to contradict the almighty sorceress.*
'You’d better believe it...'
But sometimes Fate played dirty.
'No! Let him go!'
SILENCE, WITCH!
'If it’s a Witch you want, then I’ll give you a Witch!...'
'I’m done playing by the rules. I’m finished with trying to do good when everyone wants me to be wicked. Never again will I try help another without getting something in return. From now on I am the SEA WITCH, and if you want my aid you’ll pay a high price. And one day I will have power over everything-even life and death. I swear on your grave, love. No good deed will I do again!'
She opened her eyes. This was no time to reminisce. She had things to do-to princes, kings, and little mermaids.
And as she wrapped one hand around the conch shell he had given her all those years ago, Ursula looked at her reflection in the mirror and smiled a humorless smile.
(Alone and loveless here, just the girl in the mirror Just her and me, Wicked Witch of the [Sea].)

A wonderful ending! You wrapped up all the loose ends beautifully and I LOVE that Triton didn't immediately assume the worst after all. You have a real talent for storytelling!

Right after Ariel says "Strike!" the others look at hera nd she say's something like, "It just seemed like the thing to say." The writers acknowledged that it made no sense. It was a wink at the audience.

The episode where Ariel's stuff is destroyed is the seocnd to last of the series. So there's no time for Sebastian to see it again later.

I think that we were supposed to think the 'human objects' used by the merpeople and fish were actually Atlantican things that were created independently, but happened to look the same. Or something like that.
BTW In Thingamajigger Ariel never actually see's Eric's face or hears him called by name.

It's really hard to keep continuity straight on a TV series, and sometimes it isn't worth it VS what story ideas you could pursue.
If it comes down to being able to do the "Metal Fish" episode or staying true to a throwaway line from the movie, what are ya gonna choose?
Plus Disney's always been very flexible continuity-wise.
I mean Hercules had never met Hades until they made the deal in the movie, yet he popped up all the time in the series as villain, and IMO they made the right call. Hades is SUCH a fabulous character and James Woods does SUCH a great job, the show would have really suffered without him.

Evil Manta. Awesome concept, awesome character + Tim Curry.
He and the cave sorceress were the only memorable threatening recurring vilain in the series besides Ursula.
It's too bad they never got a chance to team up...
The rest of my top five:
Spot (I own the Whale of a Tale tape. Plus he's just all kinds of nifty.) Urchin (ditto) Gabriella (You can't not love her) The Crab Scouts (anachronisms aside, they were cute and amusing without getting obnoxious)
