Yay! First to comment!

I really really enjoyed this!! I loved all your AU scenes and thought they were very well done. I really like how you started it out. I really got the feeling that Kate was waiting for execution...loved the titles with the dates and the flashback audio! I think that helped with the dark creepiness of it! So now for my favorite parts of the vid: Kate's smile after Sawyer tells her his name. (It was just so cute and natural looking.) the "You just look so damn cute scene" after Sawyer sees Kate in her dress.( that was my very favorite scene in your video! Just made me go awwww) And then I got chills at the scene when Sawyer gets shot and it cuts to black for a moment and then Kate's tortured face in slow-mo....OMG that was so effective with the music and everything!! Bravo!! I thought the ending with the pregnancy was an awesome way to end it too! Fab work! Good luck in the contest!!

Nikki- Thank you!!!

I'm so glad you liked it! I was really hoping you would, because you're like, the queen of AUs... and I made it for you (and Aislynn and Sassy).

I like those scenes too, and I'm really pleased about what you said about the ending, because I was afraid people might not go for it. I'm actually thinking about making a sequel to this... maybe something about her trying to cope with their son without Sawyer...

ezza0ezza- Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

Joon- Thank you! I'm glad that a Skater as cool as you liked it. Sorry it was so sad... that's what the contest asked for.

fabri086- I'm really glad you said something about the bed scene. That was really hard to do. Trying to sync up that conversation she had with Kevin to the one she had with Sawyer gave me a lot of trouble.

buffyfan145- I'm glad you liked it! And thank you for the compliment.

Ooh, cool job, Nicole!

Very interesting plot idea, so angsty! I kind of did this with a fanfic once, and I've always liked the "Kate in jail and on death row while Sawyer watches helplessly from afar" idea a lot.

Hope you make more Lost vids soon.

Great job! So fabulously angsty yet still full of all that Skatey goodness! *fangirl sigh* I enjoyed it so much, even the (contest dictated

) sad ending. *sob*

And thank you so much for the dedication! *hugs* Very much appreciate! Again, great job; I loved it!

littleton_pace

wow i loved this!!! AU's are the best

I really loved how you told their story in flashbacks and paired it with present day stuff ;P I loved all the audio and the end was so sad

the only thing i didn't get was i thought kate was supposed to be executed...and then she's out of jail pregnant at the end? Or is that still in jail? either way; gold from me

Yay!! CP!!! Thank you so much!

Sassy- Yeah, it was pretty intense... definitely the most serious vid I've ever done. I would love to read that fanfic by the way...

Aislynn- Aww! I'm so glad you finally got to watch it! And you enjoyed it too!

I feel really bad about how depressing it was, because I love Skate so much, but that's why I put all the sweet Skateness in the beginning... to like, counteract the sorrow at the end. Thanks for loving it and you're absolutely welcome for the dedication.

Kat- AU's are pretty sweet. For me they're right up there with comedy...

And about that ending... well, basically it was like he gave up his life for hers, like, he took her punishment/sentence... and then she was released. This was obviously a very nonsensical/corrupt prison she was being held at (

) so she was let out after he died in her place and found that she was pregnant with his kid from their prison woopie. (Yes, I called Skex Prison Woopie.) Thanks for the gold!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments! Much love!
