Unbelievable Michelina... I'm still totally amazed by how you managed to do that... and make it totally believable.

Hobbizle: How many times did you use the word "awesome" in that paragraph, man? Jeez.

Seriously though, THANK YOU! One of the best AUs you've seen - even in awhile - is quite the compliment, since I've got some serious, SERIOUS competition here.

You're right about the song - I tried cutting it like 1000x, but I eventually realized that I actually needed every second of it to get the story across, or else I'd be cramming things together. The super long music break was still a little too fast for my liking, but BAH, it's over and no way in hell am I going back to fix it, even if I'm extremely nitpicky about certain things. *glares at vid*

And YES, I totally went crazy with the flashbacks, and would occasionally get sidetracked by what an asshat Thomas was, but that's a whole other story. Yeah, I just had to crack and use the damn kiss, though. I felt kind of defeated when I did that, but a lot of people seem to like the confession sequence, so w00t! Yay for me being defeated.

cylune: Awww you're sweet, dude.

Thank goodness you felt it was believable, or else this vid would look really silly, lmfao. Thanks again for your awesome comment at the C/C community!

I love this video! Its so cute and the song matches the video perfectly, i loved the part where Lucy was crying and it seemed as if she had found out about Charlies love for Claire!

Really? Sure, that's awesome! I'd love to read it once you get it going. Wow, haha, that's so flattering. I love fanfics, and I'm very interested in seeing what you make out of this.

Totally bought most of the AU scenes and the ending was fantastic. Could do with less talkie scenes (where the characters start talking but you don't hear anything coming out their mouths.)

I loved the idea of Charlie having an illicit affair with Claire while they were both with their respective partners. Very nicely done!

I just noticed that you left a comment; thank-you so much for watching!

Yeah, I tried to avoid the talkie-scenes; unfortunately, I was also trying to avoid using any clips from the island, so merely clips of various Charlie/Claire expressions were kind of limited in their flashbacks, which sucked. But, nevertheless, I'm glad this vid wasn't a dud to you, despite those instances with the talking. Oh, and thanks to the council for the CP!

I was surprised.

Omg hi! I love you, I love you, I love you...and...did I mention I love you?

Alriiiiiiiight, I absolutely love this video even with my random blue clips in it and the fact that only one of them was used for a night time clip

Just so you know, this is the best going away/homecoming present EVERRRRR.

...there, I replied, are you happy now?

Hobbes: Awwwww lmao, no worries; I was just messing with you. It's no problem, 'awesome' is satisying enough for me. Hell, a review alone makes me squee, heh.

And hummm, that's a very good point about the shipper vid/kiss comment. I imagine it's horrific when a shipper kiss is used the same way in each and every vid you get. *ponders* That's good to know for the future, if I ever decide to make another shipper video.

Karolina:

I'm so flattered. Thanks for subscribing! I've been adding your vids to my favorites for most of today and yesterday, and I'm still not done, hee. And that list of adjectives made me giggle; did they come from the top of your head?

Sheree: Wow, thank-you! That Charlie/Claire "Leave him!" moment wasn't intended, you're right, but it's amazing how people can pick this stuff out, and how you can interpret the story in your own way. Thanks so much for watching/commenting!

Nicole: Um, yeah, HI. Lol, you already told me you loved this, like, 1000x, but I'm glad that you commented here anyway.

Now I don't look like an idiot, since the person that this is dedicated to finally commented. Srsly, woman.

Okay, I have to say once again how much I love this video. A lot.

Can't quite count how many times I've watch it already.

Wow! Graet vid! Really well done with the 'storytelling'. I really liked the song too.
