Greetings, fellow Callica shippers!
When I recently announced this little fan project of mine, I was trying to catch people's attention. If you are reading this, it probably worked. ;-)
What's this all about? Well, I attempted to "fix" Callica.
I'm not sure the results of my enthusiastic endeavor came out anything like I imagined them in my head, but I really wanted to get this done before Christmas as a petite gift to the community.
You guys are awesome, and it is nice to know that there is this safe haven of people who feel exactly the same way I do about what happend to our favorite tv couple. You were better than any therapist *g*, so I would like to thank you all for helping me getting over my mixed emotions of frustration, disappointment and a heavy amount of sadness. Now that most of the bitterness is gone, I'm hoping that I can give part of that back to you.
You have to bear with me on the fact that there is only so much one can do with the material given. Of course, as fans of the show, you will notice certain flaws and consistency errors (like different clothing, hair, timeline, etc.). So I'm asking you to overlook those and approach this film with a fresh and open mind. Many scenes were taken out of their original context, and I've created my own timeline in order to approach the story from a different angle.
I hope you like the results. I, for once, have totally lost objectivity for this. *lol* So feel free to comment - any kind of feedback is welcome! :-)
Well, here goes: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
(Side note: I apologize for the font pixelation and the picture surges. That happened during the upload conversion, so I have no influence on that...)
Please do not comment on this on the ABC forums, as we don't want to raise unnecessary attention, if you catch my drift. ;-)
Merry Callica-mas & happy Hahn-ukkah !

You guys are so awesome, I love your work! Nothing the show has provided can compete with that, really.
So, thanks a lot for watching! =)

I'm totally just going to watch this whenever I get a callica craving, instead of youtubing the actual episodes :333 Thank you!!!

> a callica craving
Heh heh, that was the plan! *bg*
No need to torture ourselves with the mess they have created, right? ;-)

and this *totally* helped inspire me to start working on my fic again XD. I hate to say, but I rediscovered Xena and torrented all six seasons, and I lost the way of Callica *bows head in shame* Well, sort of shame. Because Callica and Xena/Gabrielle are about equally hot, but Callisto and the amazons sort of tip the scale a bit XD

I finally ordered the last two seasons (5+6) on DVD, though, as those were the only ones missing in my collection. I had waited for so long because I used to hate most of season 5 and had decided for myself that the season 4 finale was actually the perfect series finale (which it would have been, although the actual ending wasn't bad, either).
Yeah yeah, good ol' Gabby & Xena... *gets lost in memories*

On the plus side, my Christmas present to Erica_Callie's *really* cheering me up right now. It's pretty much pure silliness, so I hope it gives everyone a good laugh! :D

It's simply too sad to face Grey's reality (and the possibly better written romances for Callie to come), so no harm in that, right? ;-)

By the way, I love your new icon...It's one of my favorite shots/clips!!!
2008-12-28 07:21 pm (UTC)
> F**king Callica (the adverb)!!!!
*ROFL*
Well, at least my use of the scene was in a completely different context, so I hope you appreciated that. ;-)
re: icon - Yes, it's one of my favorite Brooke Smith moments as well. Very sensual look in that scene. :-)

It made me smile BIG time!! (just like your icon, heh heh)

You really outdid yourself with this, Doc. Fabulous. I can't believe I forgot to comment you earlier! I'm such a ditz sometimes.... :D
Great work. Really. Too bad you don't write for ABC. Brooke would still be on our TVs and I'd still be watching Grey's.

And (belated) congrats on your coming-out! =D
2009-01-30 09:42 pm (UTC)
And thank you. :D
