That video gave me goosebumps. I LOVE Hans Zimmer and it just fit so well with the footage. I think I might need to re-read this now! Ta for the multi-chapter linkage!

[falafel_fiction]

Great trailer, huh? Full credit to cylune! Please do re-read sometime.

Nice post cappy!! I wish I had a color printer so I could print all the chapters with the banners!! Thanks so much again for writing such a great story.

[falafel_fiction]

Isn't it cool to see all your banners lined up together, cylune? I'm sure your trailer will help to bring new readers. Thanks again!

I love your new Potterish lay out BTW! So what other vid/art projects have you got lined up? Are you still planning to write that FF Claire fanfic you talked about? It was such a cool idea!

[cylune9]

Next I'll try to make that PB&J video... and then I'll do Superman. As for the Claire future fic, I wrote it a few weeks ago and sent it to pace and there's was a lot of flaws that needs to be worked on. It's hard because when I imagine things, I see them happening as movie and it's a difficult to translate to words. Maybe I'll give it another shot sometime.

And thanks for the kinds words about my new layout!

[falafel_fiction]

Woot! A new cyluney PB&J vid. Did you choose a song for it yet? I'm still looking forward to Superman. Please do have another shot at your future fic sometime! The idea was too good to go to waste!

Well, that settles it. I want to marry you. You are my hero for this fic, along with all your others.

...Seriously, I love you. No...Really. I do. I DO.

[falafel_fiction]

Gosh, I've had good reviews before...but never marriage proposals! Thanks for reading. I love your icon.

I'm new to Lost fandom. At first I had no idea where to find good stories. I finally found Fic in a Bottle and the first story I read was 'The Trials of Fate'. Now that I’m finally on Livejournal, I can express my thanks to you.

I'm amazed at all the different ways you've presented the possibility of Charlie's survival. I particularly enjoyed the theme of sacrifice and Jacob's role in 'He is Risen'. This is an interesting angle that ties together many questions in the show’s mythology.

Also, I loved the tenderness in 'The Spirit of Friendship'. I've come back to read it a few times.

Thank you! Welcome to LJ.

So glad you enjoyed ToF. It was a looong fic to write, but the reader response has made the effort worthwhile.

Yes, bringing Charlie back to life in new and creative ways has become my fanfic obsession. If the writers won't save the junkie, I will! Charlie must live!

'Spirit of Friendship' was co-written with pacejunkie who writes great Lost stories too.

Friended you!
