Yay!!! That was so sweet of you, thank you so much for the rec. I'm downloading it now and will be back to let you know what I think. :D

Oh, and I see now it's by Hazyshade. Cool! She did a vid to Kelly Clarkson's "Addicted to You" (I'll link it here in case you haven't seen it and want to :) ) that someone rec'd a few months back. That one's pretty angsty but I LOVE it. Huh, maybe I should check out all her vids now, lol.

Anyway, thanks again, girl! I'm so excited. I just adore Snow Patrol + K/L. <3

Hey Heather!

The Addicted Vid-
It was angsty in the good way! I love good angst. I'd never seen it before, thanks for the link.

I want to vid so badly right now LOL Speaking of things you just can't quit, one more time than that's it. Oh well, must go back to writing now. If I don't kick my ass I'll spend the whole night hunting down videos instead. I'm easily distracted =)

Oh, cool. Glad I could return the favor! Yeah, the good angst is gooood. :D

Now, back to that Snow Patrol vid you rec'd (I feel so special!)--it was AMAZING! The way she interpreted the words with the clips was so lovely and took me back to a time when I thought the destiny thing was just part of Kara/Lee's EPIC story. And the end, with her blowing up but then the cut to her seeing Lee again in Home with the "It's not over" line appearing with the fade to black? Made me a little misty-eyed, tbh. Now I'll always think of that when I listen to this song, and I'm sure I'll need to rewatch many times.

LOL about the vidding bug. I can't wait to get started myself, and I TOTALLY think you should get back to it if it's calling to you. But at the same time...yeah, I'm greedy to read your fic too! Such a shame there are so few hours a day for fun stuff, huh?

Thanks again for thinking of me! You definitely put a huge smile on my face.

Aw you're more than welcome friend!

I know, why can't shipping be like my full-time job? Vidding til lunch, a litle discussion over a good mid-day meal, fan fic writing til 2. Then it's time to get on the old LJ, rewatch some episodes til 5. That's the career for me! LOL.

I can't wait for you to get started too! You know I love your idea.

I'm actually thinking of vidding another of Kelly's songs on that CD when I'm done fic writing. There's so many that I like. It might be fun to go back and forth between you, me and Cosette and vid most of that album. Like a K/L Kelly Clarkson series or something.

Though that sounds rather ambitious...LOL

WORD.

Oooh, which one are thinking of doing? And ha, I love that series idea (and yep, it'd definitely be ambitious!)! We'll have to wait and see if I even haz any skillz as a vidder, though... ;)

I'm torn between "All I ever Wanted" and "If I can't Have you". I like the driving beat on both of them, and really, I can give any song/lyric a K/L bent if I put my mind to it. lol ( ... )

I know exactly what you mean about being able to put pretty much any song in a K/L light... :) I don't know any of the other songs on KC's latest album yet (I only know "My Life Would Suck Without You" 'cause I heard it on the radio randomly--I'm a little too attached to my iPod and don't hear new music often enough unless it's on TV or in a movie), but now I definitely want to! I'm sure whichever one you pick will be great!

And hey, I like your vidding! What's interesting about any vid is how the editor interprets the lyrics through clip choices... I love it.

I know *exactly* what you mean about the vids that have really long clips (and clips with people talking!). That annoys me because, I mean, if I just wanted to watch the whole scene without any interpretation, I'd watch the actual episode!

You're right about vidding having a big learning curve. I'm sure that as I go along I'll pick up on a lot of stuff I could have only learned through practice. Thanks for the pep talk--it really does make me feel better!

I'm the same way about the ipod thing. Especially lately, I have to make myself turn the radio on from time to time just so I can hear something new. But there's so much good stuff on the old ipod it's hard to!

Oh yeah! Clips w/ people talking! Another HUGE no no in my book. I know some folks like it but it drives me insane. Like you said, why not just watch the episode? lol

Aw yay. I'm glad I could encourage. Truth be told I really want to get back to vidding in my spare computer time instead of writing. It really is addicting!

First--your new header is omg so gorgeous! Scruffy Lee is my favorite!

Second off topic comment--your icon! I've never seen that particular shot! LOVE. IT.

I like clips with talking if you can actually hear them talking and if it kinda frames or contributes to the vid, but I hate when there's talking with no sound during a vid and you're trying to figure out what they were saying rather than just enjoying the vid and the music. And oh, how easy it is to judge before I've even made my own vid, lol. But I guess at least I already know a few things I don't want to do...

Truth be told I really want to get back to vidding in my spare computer time instead of writing.

But your writing is so good! I wish I had a more creative bent there, but I get too bogged down in my own head for fic.

Aw yay! I'm glad you like the header. I wasn't sure about it since it's so simple but could I really go wrong w/ 33 No Sleep Lee? Mmm, I didn't think so =D ( ... )

I don't know why since most of it is already written, I guess I keep worrying I'll miss some important detail and once I post that many chapters, I can't really take them back like the last one =\

Aw, well, you know, like I said, I'd be happy to beta anything (even if it's just a chapter or a part of a chapter, whatever) you want to get an opinion on before you post it for everyone. I'm sure any of the others who offered would be happy to do so as well. But I'm sure it will be great, and certainly no one would expect you to tie up every little thing.

Dude, I stress about everything too. So you and I are a lot alike there. :)

I haven't made a definitive decision on who, if anybody, I ask to read the last chapters before posting but you'll be at the top of the list. Thank you for offering! ♥

The thing I'm kicking around in my head now is, how do I want to post this thing? Because I was thinking, it might actually be a big pain to try to do it all at once. So would it be too wishy washy to go ahead and post it one at a time all next week and not look at any possible comments. Or maybe chapters 5-8 on Fri/Sat and 9-11 on Sat/Sun Or just one big long night of posting on the old LJ. I dunnno. I'm overthinking again. I was even considering asking the flist what they prefer. I wish LJ cuts could be a lot bigger w/o jamming up my computer. Then I could just have one huge post...lol

Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean about the posting. That could be really time-consuming if you tried to do it all at once. Maybe you could work on it for a couple of days, making all the posts private (your eyes only) until they're all up? And then you could edit the post to change the settings and make one more post with the links to all the chapters or something? But you should do whatever works best for you, imo. :D

Oh wow. I'm glad I brought this up to you. That is deceptively simple but my LJ experience is like zilch. I think that is a really great idea, I'm going to go for it.
