Project: Fixing Callica - accomplished

Dec 21, 2008 03:53

Hello, folks! :-)

Been working on a little X-mas project to ease your Callica withdrawal and the pain: I went and "fixed" Callica ... well, as good as I could, that is. ;-)

Hee hee, thought you might like that little play upon words. ;-)

Hope you like the vids as well! *lol*

Time to get some sleep after all (it's almost morning).

Nightie night!

Well, what a lovely Christmas gift!! I love it!

That's so the way it should have been. Your edits are impeccable!

I especially love the way you edited the Baily/Callie scene as well as the date scene. Oh, and the descriptions between scenes were perfect. Well too many favorite parts to list. You get my drift. :) GREAT job! Thanks!

Christmas hat off to you, Doc!

*humble bow & a big hug*

Wow, it actually made me not hate and be able to sit through certain scenes for the duration of the vid. That's quite a feat, really.

Great job! Thanks so much for doing this. And Happy Hahnukkah (awesome) everyone!

I totally know where you're coming from. I guess that's what made me want to try and fix stuff in the first place! *lol*

Sweet! You had me at the reworking of The Hunger monologue over the parking lot travesty! :)

Clever reshuffling of scenes. Especially the one with Erica asking Callie over ("I had fun") moved to early on - w/out the unsavory cooties aspect it had originally.

Liked that the panic was over the 1st elevator kiss, but that there was LESS panic so it didn't make Callie looked brain damanged or phobic. And less Mark (but what was left was effective and triangle-necessary) and NO Sloan Method (FTW!!!)

You redeemed the parking lot fight, you had there be real consequences over Callie sleeping with Mark, and you had it end on that kiss - the one that no one would believe they would walk away from and not speak for weeks after! THAT was a deal maker kiss! :D

Anyway, it was satisfying and was a good holiday anti-venom for TPTB's poison on Callica. :b

Thanks for all your hard work (PS love Brit accents, too. Nice bonus!)

doccovington December 21 2008, 22:59:50 UTC

As usual, your detailed analysis nailed it. Because that's exactly what I tried to achieve. Glad all of that came across just the way it was meant! :-))

> PS love Brit accents, too. Nice bonus!

*cautiously raises one eyebrow* I'm from Austria, and I always lived under the illusion that my accent was closer to American than British. ;-)

Okay, I admit it. I do have a German accent (d'oh! *lol*), what can I say? :-)

Uh, Oh - now I've caused an international incident! See, this is why I'm not in the diplomatic corps! ;) I guess it won't help to say the way you said "dealt" and "unfortunately" sounded Irish to me! LOL Okay, I won't mention that... But I fear you could never pass for American - too well spoken. ;) (I'm I digging myself out - or further in?)

Anyway, I forgot to say how much I liked your definition of Callica at the beginning. I'm begging you to go to Urban Dictionary and enter it (and the wasted potential definition) as a slang term. I think we have to start inserting it into casual talk and one day it can graduate to an accepted dictionary term! :)

doccovington December 22 2008, 00:39:24 UTC

Oh my goodness... look what you've done! Thanks to you I was laughing so hard for the past two minutes that I am wide awake now, and it's 1:30 a.m. and I have to get up in a few hours!! *LOL*

Irish, huh? I can live with that. ;-)

Okay, as for Urban Dictonary: Hmm, try to phrase a sentence with "callica" as an adjective! I find that rather challenging... It works as an adverb, though. *g* Maybe I should enter it after all.

P.S.: You would make a great diplomat! Humor has the power to release tension from any situation. :-P

I TOTALLY LOVE YOU! This is how it should have been! Everytime I watch the The Leaves Speech, i get the pang in my belly for Erica.

> This is how it should have been!

I actually think it should have been like in some of the fan fic, but I guess that's too much to ask from ABC, eh? ;-)

Thanks for watching!
