I have the great pleasure to be beta-reading a phenomenal story! And to show David just how much I love his story... not to mention a little incentive to hurry up and finish it

Dang. Did we corrupt another one?  And...ooooooooh! David shared one paragraph of this one with me on irc one night when he needed some brainstorming and that was enough to let me know this is going to be one terrific story! Especially as I know the premise it's working from.  Which you hint at very cleverly in this trailer, Sara. Lovely match of music and images and I love the black and white images to mark Clark's distorted memories. Angst central beckons. <g> Bring it on, Dave! LabRat

Nice work on the trailer, Sara. very brief, but still atmospheric and suggestive of what's to come. But given your comments, as well as the title, as well as the wedding shot -- well, I'm guessing this is not going to be a "Lois and Clark" story but a "Whoever and Clark" story. So, a plea to David here to post the "broken toys" warning at the beginning if that's so. c

Carol, I just watched the trailer and I have no idea where you get the idea that Clark and Lois won't end up together.
Admittedly I'm extremely tired - I was working till apr. 3 a.m. - but even so, what did I miss?
Great trailer, Sara, and I can hardly wait to read David's story.

Lovely trailer, Sara Great use of clips; I especially liked the "memories" when he was looking at her... Dave, you have to finish this quickly and start posting! From what I can see, the premise is fabulous, and your writing is goood. PJ

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."

Carol, I just watched the trailer and I have no idea where you get the idea that Clark and Lois won't end up together. lol - Symbolism. But to clarify, I didn't say I thought they wouldn't get together on the last page - that thought didn't occur to me. Again, very nice trailer, Sara. And, OT, but I hope you're writing again, Irene. c.

Have I been out of the loop so much that there's such thing as a "broken toy" warning? Maybe I've just been reading too much Harry Potter fic where the authors aren't that nice to their readers.  Anyway, why worry about it now, Carol? The trailer is just a teaser. If Dave decides to break his toys than it's his perogative. He's the writer and he's not writing for me, he's not writing for you, and he's not writing for anyone in specific on these boards. He's doing this because he enjoys it ... maybe writing is a stress release for him, who knows. Remember how that song goes ... Kay Sara, Sara, Whatever will be will be* *my spelling <g> Lovely video Sara. PS - the video site is back.

Oh, I can't wait to read this one! This looks absolutely lovely! Wonderful trailer, Sara ... I love how the slightly haunting music of the beginning becomes softer, more romantic music once (a presumably amnesia-plagued) Clark meets up with Lois. My mind is spinning all sorts of ideas on where this could go, all of them delightful and romantic, and I can't wait to see what Dave does with it. This trailer leaves me all warm and fuzzy inside. Dave, you have quickly become one of my favorite L&C writers, and I have enjoyed every one of your stories so far. Your writing style always draws me in and holds me tight. Can't wait to get a look at this new one. Kathy

Sara...  Have I mentioned how much I love you? This... is fantastic. You know how much I love it, but... I'll say it again, I *love* it. I think I've watched it close to 20 times. Feel free to email me if there's any confusion about the premise. I doubt there should be - it's a *fantastic* trailer, but I do understand there were some concerns. I'm loathe to post it here, since I feel it'd take away from the trailer itself. For those who were asking, the first part of the story will be posted on November 11th. And... Kathy... I don't think I've ever had a nicer compliment! Dave

Oh. My. Goodness. This trailer is awesome ( Sara) and I'm willing to bet that the story is also going to be fantastic ( David). 11th November... I'm going to be swarmed with schoolwork around that time, but I will try to keep an eye for this because this piqued my interest. Damn you two! (In a good way.) See ya, AnnaBtG. (now very curious and impatient...)

 Wow!! I'm so glad you all liked this one! I hadn't had any "me" time in a awhile, and this was my way of indulging myself. And, besides, I LOVE this story. Love it. I can't wait to see the end of it... Dave... ... The song is called "Relaxing Piano" by Jim Brickman. I'm a big fan of his stuff... but this one just had the oddest title for something that sounds rather suspensful, imo. </i>
