My reaction, IDIOT Writers of LOST!!! To do that to Charlie, I dont think I will watch Lost season 4 now I dont know if I can. Does something different to chear herself up! Hugs!!! Great fic by the way!
Aww that was beautiful! The ending with Aaron in his self-made-cubby & hiding from Desmond created such cute visuals in my mind. It was SO dramatic as usual but I loved it, I loved the way that it was so dramatic with everyone dying & ZOMG the ghost!Charlie/Claire moment in the jungle was so SEXY! & of course very sweet, but nevertheless sexy! I really loved the whole idea of Claire escaping & getting home to fufill the reason why Charlie went on his suicide mission...wonderful work! Now I must ask when are you going to post the next chapter of The Other on Faith & Trust? Because I couldn't be bothered going to find it for myself, I want to post my review in the Faith & Trust community no where else & ZOMG I like really wanna read it, you can't leave me hanging like this!
I always thought that them in the jungle was more bittersweet but hey, sexy will work too! If Claire doesn't get to go home and fulfil Des's prophecy thus giving Charlie's sacrifice meaning, I am going to be one UNHAPPY little camper.
I know! I'm so sorry Meags, I haven't updated faithandtrust in soooooo long. I'll post the next chapter of "The Other" tonight for you kay? Can you forgive me?
It would kind of suck if Claire did get rescued then left the island & we never saw any more of her, those writers are doing my head in! YAY! Yes of course I can forgive you I just can't wait to read it now!
I have to agree with meagan that the Claire/ghost Charlie scene was very sexy. I've always thought C&C kissing in the rain would be beautiful...and it was! I find it hard to enjoy post-death fics, but I have to say you write Claire in a very real/powerful way.
One critism! I didn't agree with the part when Charlie says he doesn't care if nobody else gets rescued as long as Claire was safe. I don't think Charlie would feel that way at all. I really think he wanted to save all his friends. When he says "I love you" to Hurley for example you could see he was doing it for everyone, not just Claire/Aaron. And Charlie has risked his life to save other people in the past (Jack, Eko, Desmond, etc). Sorry to nitpick, but that felt wrong to me.
Omg concrit! *glomps you repeatedly* thankyouthankyouthankyou! I'm always so thrilled to get concrit, especially from a fellow writer so again, thank you!
I seem to have an affinity for writing Claire (we're both blonde and Australian...maybe there's a connection there? I dunno lol) and I'm glad that I write her in a constant and believable way.
Phew! I'm glad you were positive about the crit! As much as I like PB&J, I'm more of a Chesmond and Churley fan, so from my perspective it was just rather disheartening to hear Charlie say that he did it all for Claire and doesn't care if nobody else gets rescued. I think Charlie would definitely care about Des, Hurley and the other Lostees being saved.
Hehe! Maybe I have an affinity for writing Charlie because we're both English and short! I live close to Manchester and when Lost first started I remember being very excited that a Mancunian character was one of the main roles. Of course my enthusiam was dampened by the little Englishman getting sidelined and then killed off as the focus shifts to all the big sex symbolly yanks. But hey, S1 was great. Let's forget the rest.
I LOVE crit! Never got enough of it as a kid when I was at school and doing creative writing so I CRAVE it now. I'm odd like that. Fair point too. I did write this in rather a rush =P so it could most definitely be better. Ah well, when I re-post it on faithandtrust I'll tweak it again mebbe.
BWAH. Maybe so!
Erk. Speaking of Charlie dying and stupid Darlton etc. Pace's latest angsty Desmond fic that she posted up on the yahoo group has just inspired me to whip up another fic of my own design in literally...oh god I don't know, two hours? My muse just went CRAZY all of a sudden. It made me tear up just WRITING the bloody thing so I dread to think what it'll do to my reviewiers. Are you going to hang around to read it? *makes puppy dog eyes* I should be posting it within like, the next ten minutes or so if you're interested.
I think this fic in particular was a very image heavy piece in my mind. I had very clear visions of how it would play out - and depending on how well I can visualise a fic definitely comes out through my writing
( ... )
Hee, thank you! Like I said to Pace, splicing those two images together to make a header was actually what inspired me to write this fic in the first place! Funny where inspiration comes from sometimes eh?
