Wow, no comments yet? I've read the first chapter, planning to sit and reread it, and the second, as soon as I have time to breath. Two birthdays and a convention to deal with in the same month... I'm pretty much exhausted.
Big surprise that I've read it though, huh? Might not post a lot but I follow a lot of sites.

I loved it, actually rereading the first chapter now since I don't have anything to do this morning. You have a more unusual writing style, which makes the whole thing fun and refreshing compared to a lot that I've read. And you've gotten a few laughs out of me in there, too.
And your characters are awesome. They're real for the fact they have flaws, they're quirky the way real people might be. Even the ship is interesting, because it's different from what someone might expect to be described, namely the figurehead with "...a blindfold over its eyes, and a wickedly cheeky grin on its face".
Of course, never hurts to link to it. Dunno where all you might have it posted up, but I follow it on ChakatsDen, and was surprised when I saw your name come across the 'Latest Additions' at the top of the stories page. Read it, and thought Oh, awesome, hope he writes more!
Sad thing is, most furs I wouldn't expect a decent review out of, because it's far too seldom that anybody is willing to read *anything*. Me, I read. A lot. Complete bookworm, be it 'fine literature', fanfiction, or Scifi greats like Heinlein. I can't write, don't have the attention span, but I can read and appreciate.

Hehe, caught some stuff on the second time through that I'd missed the first time. Like the reference to HitchHiker's Guide about the whale and the pot of geraniums. And yeah, that last chapter I noticed you jumped from past tense to present, which made it a bit weird to read. Still awesome though.
Can't wait to see where it goes :)
