I've come to the conclusion that Lost will probably never turn out the way I want it to. Sure, my ideas fit and make sense (in my head)...but still. Since I'm one of those people that tries to look on the bright side, this is hard for me to write. But after watching the newest S4 trailer...ugh. Screw them.

While it's been pointed out that Hurley was not building a grave for Charlie and that it was a repeat scene, that whole thing just really bothered me. Even though it's not a new scene...I don't like the idea of Charlie being treated like every other person that has died. The little part of Claire and Hurley crying was enough to depress me for the night, though.

I've actually reached a point where fanfiction is more satisfying to me than the show. Shocker, I know. But it used to be that the show inspired what fanfiction I wrote, and now I'm writing fanfiction without the inspiration...basically just using the characters and a few general ideas. Point is, Lost doesn't inspire me anymore. The idea it started with inspires me, yes. But Lost is lost.

I know my opinions are biased because I've been a Dominic fan since 2001. And so I favor him on the show.

But right now, I'm holding onto a tiny bit of hope and also knowing I can always fall back on making up and reading stories that are actually better than what Darlton has done.

So for the sake of everyone that feels this way...don't stop writing Charlelives stories. Because Charlie is only as alive as we make him. And with all the support and wonderful stories out there, he's very much alive!

From This Christmas On
Characters: Charlie, Claire, Hurley, Desmond.
Rating: PG
Synopsis: Charlie's first Christmas on the Island. Written for the Christmas Challenge on charlielives and lostfichallenge
Disclaimer: I don't own Lost. Or Christmas, for that matter.

In honor of Dominic Monaghan's thirty-first birthday and falafel_fiction teaching me the ways of LJ, I WAS going to post a few of my older fanfiction. But Livejournal is telling me my post is too big, so I can only post this one.

Wonderwall
Characters: Charlie, Desmond, Claire, Aaron, Jack, Hurley, Kate, Sawyer, Alex, Mikhail.
Setting: Island; straight after the Season 3 finale.
Disclaimer: If I owned Lost, THIS is what would've happened.
Rating: PG-13
Synopsis: Charlie was ready to sacrifice himself for Claire and the others. But Desmond misread his visions. In the end, Charlie and Claire would always return to each other.


To clear up any questions that may arise, Wonderwall was actually started the night of the finale...a few hours after it ended and I was able to collect myself.

Feedback is always welcome.


Happy Birthday!

And, of course...


Much love to Mr. John Lennon.
1940-1980...but remembered in 2007
He was too young to leave us :[
He was shot dead by a fan outside the Dakota on this day. Even though I was born eleven years later, this man has had one of the biggest impacts on my life and what I believe in. Thanks to him, his memorial is one of my favorite places to be.


I've never been at a better place than Strawberry Fields :]
