Who had me returning from a 6+ year hiatus on their 2022 bucket list? Not me. 

I have loved these two since ‘08 and this is the adaptation they deserve.

I loved your videos, will they come back?

YES. Been on law school hiatus but my last exam is next week, hopefully then can binge watch OUAT and get back into some vidding <3

That said... I’m also going on another trip to the US in December but definitely gonna aim to fit some vidding around travelling cos god I miss it :)

[kiliansemma]

Im a swan queen shipper but i LOVE your videos. The killian jones its an end not a beginning video made me stop being so anti cs! Really love them, you are unbelievably talented. Have any of the cast watched your videos cos they really should. :)

I’ve been so swamped in law school stuff I don’t even know when this was asked but I’m apologising immensely for whatever long delay it has been <3

This message has honestly absolutely made my day! So happy not only that my videos could really have that impact of you seeing a different side of things but that you gave them a chance in the first place despite our difference in shipping preferences :)

To my knowledge none of the case have ever watched my videos. but it would be a dream come true if they dead!

[kiliansemma]

I miss your captain swan videos. Will you ever do a video about them again?

Of course!

I never intentionally stopped vidding them, I just got to a point where I physically did not have the time. I’m currently in 4th year law student (also studying journalism, advanced spanish and doing an internship on top of my law subjects) and struggling to even manage study and any amount of social life without even considering vidding!

To put things in perspective, I haven’t even had time to watch OUAT since the midseason break - and I haven’t not watched OUAT every week since it started. So it’s pretty big for me to not even have time to watch.

Not sure when I’m going to free up but when that day comes I’m eagerly looking forward to diving back into the vidding world ♥

Omg you inspire me because I want to be a law student too

Aw, that’s so sweet <3 I have complete faith you’ll get there one day too! If you want it and work hard there’s no reason you won’t make it - good luck :D

[kiliansemma]

What law are you studying and how hard is it?

I’m not studying a particular kind of law, I’m doing a Bachelor of Laws so it covers most areas of law and basically my entire degree is core units with the exception of three. Currently this trimester? I’m doing the subjects Land Law and Legal Ethics, last trimester I did Property Law and Corporate Law and when I studied in America over the summer I did a unit in Advanced Concepts in Corporate Law.

As for how hard it is, I answered that here :’)

Alana!! You talented buttercup! I am loving your videos :) thank you for sharing them with us! We are lucky to have you in the fandom. Good luck with your studies! Us grad students have got to stick together and suffer in solidarity <3

You’re such a precious cupcake omg thank you so much <33

Thank you so much - studies have definitely been kicking my ass and consuming all my time lately, fandom life is always struggling to push through ;)

Hi there, As always, a big fan of your videos whenever you post them! :) I've been trying to make one of my own and I had a question. How do you manage to pull out the dialogue from an episode and damp down the background noise and music? I have just one line I'd like to include in my video but the background noises just make it sound so out of place. Do you have any tricks that you use and could recommend? Thank you!

Hihi, thank you so much! Unfortunately this is one thing that still alludes me - I’d love to know how to completely remove backgroun music/noise but I haven’t yet been able to work it out. 

What I generally do is just play with the audio on the individual clip - that is, add a volume effect onto the individual clip and adjust it up/down depending on what you want. Obviously it’s not completely ideal as you’re also lowering the dialogue but balancing that volume with that of the background song/score it at least helps a bit!

If anyone does know how to do this properly though - I’m always looking to find out!

Hey, I just wanted to say I think it's amazing how dedicated you are as a fan towards Jennifer Morrison. The story about you meeting her at the Oz Comic Con was so lovely and none of my friends understand my love for her and how she has helped through a really tough time in my life over the years, even though she doesn't know I exist haha. You've inspired me to write a letter to her just to say thanks for everything and hopefully it will reach her. She is very lucky to have fans like you xo

I don’t even know what to say, this is so beautiful and made my heart smile <3 Thank you for your kind words - and for reading through my (really, really long) OZCC recap! She’s truly such a beautiful and genuine human being and I can see how she can be such an inspiration to help people get through hard times in their life and I’m so glad she was able to do that for you. I definitely encourage you to do that, whether or not she can physically reply to everyone, spending time with her over that weekend you could really tell she genuinely appreciates and is touched by all the lovely words and gifts from her fans.

Again, thank you for being so lovely! Likewise she’s lucky to have fans like yourself <3
