I've loved this story for a long while now, and then I heard this song on the radio that was *perfect* for it. It turned out to be a lot harder than I'd expected wink but after many false starts and corrections offered by Wendy, SaraK, & Rachel, here it is smile Thanks *so* much, all three of you!

So...

Here\'s the trailer (WMV)

and

here\'s the story

PJ smile


"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Yay!!! You posted!!! You know how much I loved this one, Pam!! Different, but very fun with the country music!!

There's really too much to say that I liked about this one, and I have to do homework razz so I don't have the time. frown

I'll just say one thing, though: I think my absolute favorite part is the title over the cityscape!!! Brilliant touch!

That was *great* Pam! laugh

I've always loved this story, and it's definately going on my re-read list.

I really loved the title cards and the song is perfect!

Great job! smile

Ooh, you finished it! smile1

I love the 'I've got a feeling' lyric, given that Mere's title is That Honeymoon Feeling. Nice match! But my favourite part of the trailer is still that bit of silk slithering to the floor right at the end. Very subtle and teasing. wink

So, when's the next trailer coming??

Great trailer! Loved the flash backs and I must add... the subtle use of a little Dean eye candy wink

ETA: OK, everything of Dean is eye candy, but I specifically meant the bare shoulder part goofy

Thanks, guys smile

I know this was a little bit different wink Did anyone have any trouble picking up the lyrics? I could type them in; it's just one verse & chorus. But I know lyrics can be hard to decipher sometimes, especially for non-native speakers.

If you say so, Sara goofy Must have been one of those unconscious brilliance things... or more likely, dumb luck. I was just going through the episode, finding all the clips I thought I could use, and there they were... seemed more interesting than just another "color panel."

You're right, David, it is a great story. I really ought to stop re-reading it goofy I've got great chunks of it memorized! Um, anyway... the song was the reason for doing this whole thing, so that stayed fairly constant, but the title cards went through many changes.

Glad you liked it, Laura -- and thanks Wendy, for watching even though I know you don't care for country music wink

Thanks, Kelly & Tricia -- I really wasn't sure anyone would like this, so it's reassuring to hear that you do.

An, I probably shouldn't tell you, wink but some of the earlier "drafts" had even more of nakedDean... but sadly, I had to cut it.

As for another trailer -- I haven't anything planned at the moment. Don't know when/if inspiration will strike again smile

Thanks again smile

Loved this trailer!

I still giggle everytime I see Clark doing that "Don't try anything funny." line.

Great Trailer! Cool idea to have the city in the background for the title!

You are going to make more trailers soon aren't you? Please?
