Always Hold On To Smallville - New Music Video, "Superman"

2011-05-29T03:15:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone!

Just thought some of you might like to check out my newest Music Video!! It's set to "Superman (It's Not Easy)" by Five For Fighting. Mostly Clark-centric, but a lot of Clois, too. Features clips from all 10 seasons right up to Finale.

I have taken a break from the MV world for about a year - real life is mostly to blame. All I've been doing is posting my weekly clips, as most of you know. Not gonna lie, that always monopolized most of my "down time." But I've been working on this particular music video for almost 3 months off & on. It's maybe not my BEST work but as my reintroduction to the medium I'm really hoping it will be well received.

"Superman"

New Music Videos Playlist

This Playlist link will take you to my main channel, of course, where you can also find most of my other music videos from the last few years! Please enjoy, share & let me know what you think.

Hope life after Smallville is treating everyone well. This isn't the end ... as my new video is meant to remind everyone ... we'll "always hold on to Smallville." I'm hoping to have a lot more videos and projects (haven't decided on a S10 Countdown yet, but I'd like to try one!) coming your way so please stay in touch! :)

Smallville FINALE - SPOILERS - WOW!!!!!!

2011-05-14T07:00:00.009-05:00

OK, wow ... this was pure PERFECTION!!! I seriously could not have possibly asked for a better send-off. It had everything I've ever wanted over the last 10 years, and MORE. SO MUCH MORE! I'm blown away! Truly!! :)

I will TRY to write a proper 'review' in the next day or so if I get some sleep & get to feeling better (long story).

I *really* couldn't sleep at ALL tonight. So here I am. It's 6am and I've got 3 more clips to share. They're all in order, so you can just go to the PLAYLIST link, click "PLAY ALL," and you're set for a little mini-Finale!! Seriously, the entire Playlist is about 51 minutes long, which means there's only about 30 minutes of the episode I DIDN'T include!!

I've NEVER gone to this extreme before, but it's worth it because, well, this is the end and it was ... priceless.

Still, I really do hope that at least some people enjoy the clips I've spent the last 8 hours working on! :) I figured it was the last time I'd ever get to do it, so even if only a dozen or so people care that I'm posting it, that's OK because I enjoy doing it and I'm happy to offer this. In the end, the people who DO enjoy it, make up for the ones who don't ... in spades! :)

So here ya go ... now I'm gonna get me some breakfast & try to take a nap at least. I've forgotten what sleep is (long story, won't bore any of you with my personal crap LOL). Goodnight, or more likely, good MORNING to all of you. I do hope you enjoy the clips - yes, even you lurkers out there, haha! ;)

Oh, and before I go ...
How AWESOME was the trending event tonight on Twitter??

Dominion SPOILERS

2011-04-29T23:06:00.007-05:00

I still can NOT believe that in two weeks, it will all be over. Ten years. TEN. YEARS!

Trying not to focus on that, though. It's been an incredible journey. SUPER, really. Yes - it's a terrible pun but it's necessary, deal with it, LOL.

That said, tonight was Justin Hartley's directorial debut and WOW did he knock it out of the park! Hard to ignore how much I've missed Oliver. Don't get me started on the blond bimbo he went off & married last time we saw him in "Fortune!" Sorry Chloe-fans, but my hatred toward that self-absorbed, self-entitled little witch has been growing steadily since around Season 8. Now I'll never forgive her for marrying Dinah's soul-mate (I don't care if they were never gonna happen on Smallville, I'm still a Dollie fan).

I also have missed Zod, oh so much! Callum Blue is almost too good to be true, and I'm so glad we got to see him one more time before the end. I never thought anyone would hold a candle to Terence Stamp, but Callum definitely has shown he is worth kneeling before! Now you can go ahead and make that dirty if you want, LOL, because honestly - well - I'll just stop there in case children are reading ... *evil grin*

Erica Durance was the real star of this episode, is there any scene that woman CAN'T steal? Wow. I swear, she literally had me in tears - more than once. She really does put all other Lois Lane's to shame. I am going to miss her in this role, but I'm so thankful we got 7 amazing years of her. This also marked her 100th episode of Smallville, I'm told, and her extraordinary (even for her!) performance certainly was worthy of any milestone!

Cassidy Freeman was incredible, too - and I've gotta say the woman looks ADORABLE in glasses! I'll have to actually go back and look again but it seemed to me that she was wearing Emil's glasses? If they weren't his, I'd say they were extremely similar design to his. Which, I'm not gonna lie, makes me oddly happy. ;) I think those two are adorable together ... and I'm enjoying the fact that she's got a "good guy" again - even if it is only for a short time before the finale.

But oh, Justin! Justin and Callum ... on my screen. In the same SCENES even! Was just ... wow! I thought my TV was gonna melt. It's no secret that I've always found the "supporting" men on Smallville more attractive than our "leading" man. It's just personal taste. Michael Rosenbaum, Justin Hartley, Callum Blue - they are the ones who get my heart pounding! Tom Welling is just too "pretty" for me, and while I can understand that millions of women drool over him week after week, he just doesn't do - nor has he ever done - anything for me. *steps away from the flying tomatoes*

There were a lot of amazing moments in this episode, and even some surprises (to me, at least). I won't go into them too much. Just have to say that I thought the sript was really brilliant, and I loved that it had a LOT of callbacks to the ENTIRE series, not just season 9! Most notably, bringing up BOTH "versions" of Zod. I thought that was a GREAT touch. I'm still slightly confused about Oliver and the final scene, gotta be honest, but I'm sure it's leading into next week and his meeting with Kara. Clois just gets better and better. The final scene was probably the most beautiful, touching and well=acted scenes, well, EVER. And here I thought they wouldn't be able to top the now infamous "couch scene" from last week's "Booster!!" ;) But honestly, it was just the PERFECT scene. I don't know how else to say it. There are no words to describe ... so I'll shut up now and post a few clips so you can just see for yourself!

Perfect Spot
A Hero's Wife
Part of Me (THE BEST SCENE EVER!)

I'm light on clips at the moment because I've been feeling pretty bad this week (spent all day at the doctor & not even sure how I stayed awake tonight, honestly). But I'm sure you'll enjoy the ones I DO have here. If I can I'll post more over the weekend, and they'll automatically be added to THE PLAYLIST, so just keep an eye on that.

Enjoy - and I hope everyone has a great weekend! See you next Friday for Prophecy - we get Supergirl, and Super Lois - among many many other amazing surprises! Can't wait! ;)

P.S. For those who don't know, my apartment was actually hit by a small tornado very early Wednesday morning (I currently live in Tennessee). It was the most frightening morning/day of my entire life! I'm fine, thank goodness, but our neighborhood had a fair amount of damage. That said, however, it's nothing like the people in other areas of the South - especially Alabama - are going through right now. I'm not a religious person at all, but my thoughts & prayers are going out to everyone who is affected in any way by the storms! I know how scared I was & my apartment is still standing - so my empathy level is just that much higher. I urge anyone out there who is able to do what they can by maybe donating to the Red Cross or some other outlet to help the victims of this tragedy, or at least send some good thoughts or prayers to the people hit by these storms. Take care of yourselves everyone, and stay safe out there!

Series Finale Promo Featuring LEX!

2011-04-22T17:49:00.004-05:00

Our first true glimpse of Michael Rosenbaum's LONG awaited return of Lex Luthor!!

I swear, this almost made my heart stop! :)

Can't wait!!

Kent SPOILERS!! PLUS a special FINALE Preview!

2011-04-16T04:03:00.006-05:00

Hey all, it's been a while. Hope everyone is well! On one hand, that hiatus was way too long. On the other, well, it flew by. *sigh*

That said ... it's CLIP time! :)

Sorry it took so long this week. My new medication (for my fibromyalgia) is making it VERY hard to stay awake late like I used to, so I'll really be struggling for the next 4 weeks. But I'm determined to continue bringing clips to those who need/want them - just as I have done for the last few years. So please, enjoy! :)

**PLAYLIST LINK**

BTW ... no idea what the "consensus" is ... but personally I freaking LOVED this episode. Exceeded my expectations, in spades! :) I have to watch it again to be sure, but my first impression basically was that every single moment was damn near perfect. Which is rare for me. Now, admittedly it could be low expectations (something most Smallville fans are accustomed to, let's be honest lol) or just plain 'ole nostalgia. Nah, who am I kidding? The episode ROCKED!

Now, as for the finale ... which I still have a hard time admitting is only 5 weeks away ... this "promo" is just, wow!

Goosebumps all over! No way to describe how excited I am, yet at the same time it is so bittersweet. I'm going to miss this show more than I care to admit. Which is funny considering I barely cared about it up until about season 4 - and even then it wasn't until season 6 that I got truly hooked. For the record - by season 8, I was obsessed. ;) Ten years is a long time, and in TV years - especially for a sci-fi comic book show - well, it's not just a LONG time, it's more like a LIFEtime.

That said, in the meantime I'm gonna focus on the amazing-ness of it all and worry later about how severe of a breakdown I'm going to have at 9:02pm on May 13th, 2011. ;)

YouTube! IMPORTANT

2011-03-06T17:55:00.008-06:00

**Dear Smallville friends, please read!**

I'm back up to 1,299 subscribers on my YouTube Clips channel (SuperGEM9S10)! WOW! Getting closer to the 1,600+ I lost back in October! Anyone wanna help me out w/getting to 1,300? I have a weird OCD thing about odd numbers like that, lol! ;)

Either way, I'm grateful for ALL of you! Just please be sure to follow my blog and other backup channels as well, because I'm now one strike away from suspension and I'd really hate to lose everyone AGAIN. Most of you know how seriously they take that "three strike" rule - I could log on tomorrow to find everything GONE ... but that won't stop me from going until at least May 13th! I'm devoted to doing this for you guys & gals, even though I've been suspended at least 10 times over the last 5 years. I just can't stand losing touch with all of my amazing followers, so be sure you know how to reach me if I have to start from scratch again.

If the unthinkable DOES happen, I'll always announce my next "move" on Twitter, here on my Blog, on DI and other related sites, and of course my other YouTube channels.

Thanks, and BTW - I'm gonna do my best to get a new music video or two up during the hiatus. Can't promise anything, it's all up to my muse, but I'm gonna try like hell - it's been too long and I have too many unfinished MVs sitting on my hard drive that are BEGGING for attention! *hugs to all*

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)

GEM

P.S. I know I haven't posted anything for Fortune or Scion yet - I haven't been feeling too well the last couple of weeks so I've been doing more sleeping than surfing. I DID upload clips from both episodes, and just have to say I loved them both! Fortune was a pleasant surprise, since I wasn't expecting much from it - at ALL. Scion was pure genius! I'm definitely jumping on the "We Want A Conner Kent Spin-off" wagon, hehehe! ;) I'll try to write a little blurb about each episode soon, but in the meantime you CAN find my clips (minus the one that YouTube removed - *grumblegrumble* - from Fortune) on my channel. In the meantime, here is the amazing promo for Kent and the remaining episodes of the series (it still hurts to say that) ...

Masquerade SPOILERS!

2011-02-18T22:43:00.015-06:00

Wow!

Well ... let's just say that, All in all, I didn't HATE this episode. It just wasn't the strongest of the season for me. Maybe it will get better with a repeat viewing, but I won't expect much - and to be honest I WASN'T expecting much because I pretty much knew going in what the focus would be. That said, the moments with Clark - and especially with Clark and Lois - were TOP-NOTCH (then again, they almost always are).

My problem, then, you ask? Well, I know this is the second-to-last episode for her, but there was just WAY too much Chloe. And WTF, Ollie? Why did you have to go and beat Desaad to a pulp, getting yourself branded with the Omega symbol in the process???? Once again, Chloe ruins the life of a character I love so much (first Jimmy, now Ollie). I hope Ollie (via Darkseid) murders the blonde bitch next week, and I hope it's VERY painful! Either way, you can be sure I will be cheering when she leaves. I don't care how it happens anymore, I'm just looking forward to seeing her GO and I want nothing more than for her to STAY GONE!

There were a few very ICONIC moments in this episode, and that's what saved it for me. Especially the final moment with Clark putting on the glasses. I just HOPE & pray that they'll stick. I mean, he's put them on before - at least 4 times if I recall correctly - and by the next week they magically disappear. So the next time we see Clark Kent in the bullpen at the Daily planet, he had BETTER be hiding those baby-blues behind some spectacles!

I'm getting very sad that there are only 7 episodes left (well, 8 technically but since 21 and 22 are combined for the finale the fact is that there will only be 7 more Friday nights with a new episode of Smallville). It's depressing. For 10 years I've been watching this show, and for the last 7 years I have been completely OBSESSED with it (as far as I'm concerned it didn't get REALLY good until Lois came into the picture - and that's NOT just because I'm a lifelong Clois shipper). I don't know what I'm gonna do when it's over. No more staying up late and scrambling to post episode clips for my loyal and wonderful friends/followers. No more panicky feeling when I'm not home by at LEAST 6:30 on a Friday night so I have enough time to be sure I'm ready to have my butt planted in front of my TV and my hands ready and waiting on the keyboard. I might actually have to get a LIFE on Friday evenings again, lol! Oh crap! ;)

Now with Rosenbaum coming back, the HUGE and outrageous spoiler regarding Alexander (which I won't post here for anyone who doesn't know yet and may not want to know - visit Kryptonsite if you're curious), and so many other exciting things waiting int he wings for Smallville, I find myself already missing it. I find myself wanting more, and it's not even over yet. Yes, it's going to be a very sad, lonely world for this fan-girl come 9:01pm CST on May 13th, 2011. Trying not to think about that too much now, but at least I'll have plenty of time - and inspiration - by then to throw myself into TONS of new music video projects, at the very least. We'll see. ;)

In the meantime, I continue to enjoy the ride and soak up EVERY super moment of it!

Disguise (opening scene)
Whoosh! (loft scene)
It's my power

Now, with that ... I'll probably upload a little more over the weekend, but for now I'm on some pretty heavy meds and I wanted to at least get the major Clois scenes uploaded before I passed out.

Enjoy! :)

Rosenbaum RETURNS!!!

2011-02-12T02:02:00.006-06:00

Rosenbaum Back for Series Finale!

I cannot even begin to describe how ECSTATIC I am that Michael Rosenbaum is coming back to Smallville for the series finale! There are NO words. The last few days have been crazy. Depressing, even. We were told that it wasn't looking good, then that it simply wasn't going to happen. That he had no interest in returning. Then tonight, seemingly out of nowhere, not long after Beacon aired (on the East Coast) the announcement came through and Rosenbaum himself even tweeted about his return! I swear you could hear Superman and Smallville fans rejoicing from all over the world!! It was an incredible feeling, and it has been a wonderful night!

Finally getting the reassurance that all of the buildup they have been focusing on this season, the clones, Lionel's return, and of course young Lex who is aging at just the right speed. Instead of being frustrated that it was going to lead to a big, fat, disappointing dead-end, and instead of being angry at the fact that it seemed like TPTB may have made one of the biggest blunders in TV history by putting all of their eggs in one basket without knowing whether or not it would work out ... fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Their gamble paid off!

Frankly I don't care what they had to do or promise to get Rosenbaum back, as far as I'm concerned they backed themselves into a corner and if they had to promise their first born child to him to get him to sign on, then that's exactly what they should have done! Considering they have focused very little on other villains *cough*Darkseid*cough* all year - it would have been an enourmous waste of precious time had this not worked out in their favor. But that doesn't matter any longer, because it's REALLY happening! It's going to be OK! He's coming back, and I couldn't be more excited!

Hell, even Twitter has EXPLODED over this - and that's rare for Smallville fans. No, wait, actually it's damn near impossible, lol! Both "Michael Rosenbaum" and "Lex Luthor" were top trends worldwide for several HOURS tonight, and that is just, well, SUPER! I cannot WAIT for this to unfold now, and even though it will be bittersweet I will now be counting the days to May 13th and that epic 2-hour finale. It wouldn't have felt right without Rosenbaum. Just like you can't end the show without Superman, or Lois Lane, you can't end it without Lex Luthor. At last, it will all come full circle.

Michael Rosenbaum is the best Lex Luthor I've ever seen, just as Erica Durance is the best Lois Lane. I coulnd't be happier. Now if they would only bring Perry and Martian Manhunter, along with the other characters they've already announced - I'll be 150% satisfied. For now, though, I am basking in the glory of this fantastic news.

And while I'm basking, I'm reliving one of Rosenbaum's FINEST performances, in my opinion. A preview of what's to come. Way back in April 2005, there was this little episode called Onyx that - to me - was the epitome of just how amazing Rosenbaum was at portraying Lex Luthor. It doesn't get much better than this. If you've never seen the show, THIS is the scene I would encourage anyone to watch to get hooked on the epic conflict between Clark Kent and Lex Luthor. It's twisted, it's powerful and it's even funny as hell. Only Rosenbaum could pull this off. (CLICK TO WATCH) I cannot WAIT to see what they have in store for his final send-off. I just couldn't stand the idea of his farewell being that less-than scene in Arctic where the Fortress collapses on top of him and Clark. He deserved a better farewell than that, and now he is going to get it!!!!

I know I'm pretty much rambling here, but that's just the excitement taking hold. ;)

All that said ... BRING IT ON, LEX!!!

Hi all!

I haven't been feeling too well lately so I wasn't planning on staying awake to work on clips. Really just wanted to take my pain medicine and go to sleep as soon as the episode was over ... but the FLIGHT was just too monumental not to document and share IMMEDIATELY!

I'll post more clips from the episode tomorrow, but for now I wanted to at least get a couple uploaded for my wonderful and loyal followers. :)

I hope everyone had a great holiday season and you've all been doing well over the hiatus! As for me, things are looking up - I did get evicted from my apartment but I was able to find another place to live so at least I'm not on the streets. I'm still struggling to find work but I'm just taking it one day at a time, and as always I'm remembering to be thankful for what I DO have and reminding myself that as bad as things are - they can always get worse.

Anyway, enjoy the clips and I promise I will post more over the weekend! :)

Super Birthday!

2011-01-23T14:42:00.004-06:00

All my life I've wanted a Superman birthday cake! So when I saw this at Wal-Mart yesterday, ON my actual birthday, I knew I had to buy it for myself!

Only problem now... I can't bring myself to eat or cut it lol!

I know it's probably a little pathetic to buy your own birthday cake, lol, but I've been dreaming of this cake for 31 years. When I saw it there, all ready and everything, I figured it was a sign to stop waiting! ;)

Icarus SPOILERS!

2010-12-11T00:39:00.010-06:00

Hey all!

I wasn't going to rush and work on clips tonight because I'm having a bit of a personal crisis at the moment (putting it mildly). Without saying too much ... I am being taken to court Tuesday morning and will likely be evicted and thrown on the streets on Christmas Eve - it takes 10 days for them to have the sheriff put me out. So as you can all imagine I'm not doing very well. But, Icarus was soooooo damn good, and I need a little distraction from my own problems ...

I hope to continue my "tradition" of posting clips for you guys come January, but at least for tonight - anyway - I'm still here ... and I wanted to honor the amazing, final mid-season cliffhanger!

Best mid-season cliffhanger in the history of Smallville, hands down! I even appreciated Chloe's "deleted scene" from Lazarus. I was dreading what happened to Carter, but deep down I knew it was coming - and the way it happened was really beautiful and certainly meaningful. As for the Clois proposal/engagement ... what can I say other than it was pure PERFECTION!! If you haven't seen the episode yet you might want to prepare yourself for some tears (happy and sad). Not to mention a lot of intense, nail-biting moments! Enjoy! Hope to see you all January 28th for the return of Smallville! :)

Clois Engagement less than 1 week away!!

2010-12-04T04:11:00.007-06:00

Clearly the proposal really IS at the beginning of the episode, before Slade/Deathstroke kidnaps Lois!

Check out the rock on Miss Lane's finger!! Friday can't come soon enough. Knowing that we'll get Hawkman, Stargirl and Black Canary AND a true engagement is enough to keep me happy until the show returns in 2011! I just wonder what the cliffhanger will be - which basically means I'm hoping there won't be a bitchy, whiny, irritating little blonde stepping in at the last second and killing the entire thing!

Oh this is gonna be good! After 6 years, and for most of those years having no reason to believe we'd EVER see this even come CLOSE to happening on Smallville, it is SO worth the wait!

The brand new Entertainment Weekly article says it all!

Click on the image for a full-size view that should be large enough for you to read the text!

Clark choosing the perfect spot, "their phone-booth," is just too damn cute! I was wondering where it would happen: the Daily Planet roof, the loft, the Fortress, the cornfield ... but in the end I think it's safe to say that, for this particular version of Clois, that phone-booth really is their special place. Can't ask for much more! :)

Is it bittersweet that we will probably never get to see the actual wedding? Maybe a little. But all things considered, I couldn't be more thrilled with how far they have come in the last 6 years. Of all the things Smallville has done, right and wrong, in the case of the Clark and Lois relationship - they got it SO right! It has become the most beautiful, romantic, endearing, realistic and powerful telling of their epic relationship I think we've ever seen. Considering Lois Lane and Clark Kent have been going strong for 70+ years - that is high praise indeed! So there are NO complaints here! I'm just going to enjoy every moment we're lucky enough to have, and be eternally grateful that Smallville has lasted long enough for it to come to fruition! :)

Luthor SPOILERS!

2010-12-03T22:26:00.009-06:00

Luthor was AH-MA-ZING! I missed John Glover more than I realized! :)

Lois minus Clark = Lollie

Lois, meet Clark Luthor

This is probably one of the most powerful Clois scenes, ever - and it doesn't even involve Lois (well, not really)! "Straight to my soul."

Best part about this? That whiny little whore Lana shacked up with Bizarro for what, a month, and had NO CLUE it wasn't Clark. Lois looks at Clark for 2 seconds and KNOWS it's him! Yet one more out of a million reasons why they are, always were, and always will be soulmates. Take that haters (AKA Clana, Chlark and Chlois whiners)! "It's him!"

Second chances

He's back!!

PLAYLIST

Such a beautiful episode ... and while it was a little too "busy" at times ... the two surprises at the end definitely made up for it. Granny Goodness was pure perfection. Teri Hatcher, Julian Sands and Helen Slater were all incredible - as expected - so much emotion and development came out of their short scenes. Tess' secret was a shock that has been coming for a long time. And while we've seen a lot of foreshadowing for an engagement between Clark and Lois, I don't think many of us expected it to move THIS quickly!

Season 10 is definitely on a roll, and I for one am really enjoying the ride!

After 6 years of foreplay ... Clois does it! :)

2010-10-29T22:45:00.008-05:00

The last 3 weeks in a row on "Smallville" have proven to be MONUMENTAL as far as the relationship between Clark and Lois is concerned. Just ... WOW.

Homecoming - they finally declare their love for one another, and Clark actually FLIES!

Isis - they both decide to come clean about the big "secret," but luckily Clark goes first, *officially* making Lois the ONLY person he has ever truly been honest with because he WANTED to.

Harvest - promises are made, a secret is passed on and the love is consummated!

What more could we possibly ask for? I don't expect an engagement, I know some Cloisers do, but I'll be happy if they just seriously *discuss* the topic of marriage before the series ends. That said - the way things are going - I wouldn't be shocked if they don't actually go ahead and allow them to go for it! We'll see!

Most of us knew what would happen during tonight's episode - but knowing about it and seeing it actually happen are two VERY different things! It was, in a word, perfect! Beautiful. Romantic. Sexy. Tender. Heartwarming. Not to mention, much more satisfying to watch because it lasted for more than 10 seconds (remember Pandora?). So, yeah. They are listening to us, and BOY are they delivering. In SPADES. It's amazing!

There was a lot that happened in this episode. The Clois relationship certainly progressed in other ways. Connor Stanhope, one of my favorite young actors, returned as young Lex (errr, Alexander, uhhhh ... I mean Lex) and delivered an incredible performance. Cassidy Freeman was on FIRE, as always. Erica Durance is one HELL of an actor. Period.

Right now I'm going to cut this semi-short because I had a tooth pulled yesterday ... needless to say I'm exhausted and in a fair amount of pain. But I did manage to upload THE big scene in the meantime. It's about 4 minutes and includes a wonderful moment between Clark and Lois in the loft that quickly ends up, ahem, in the bedroom. :)

YouTube: "You're the one. You always will be."

I can't get over how incredible the chemistry is between Tom and Erica. They really bring out the BEST in each other, in every scene. Best chemistry I've ever seen on-screen - rivaled only by Dean & Teri, of course - but still the best, nonetheless.

Smallville's 200th Episode! "Homecoming"

2010-10-16T00:35:00.006-05:00

If you missed "Homecoming" - well, I'm terribly sorry - because it was obvious why this was Tom Welling's favorite of the entire series. It was absolute PERFECTION!! The show has truly never been better! I just wish we could have 200 more episodes, especially if they could all be even HALF as amazing as this one was!

I have started a new clips channel on YouTube (for about the 5th time in less than 2 years, LOL). So this hopefully will allow me to keep posting weekly clips without too much fear of losing ALL of my subscribers. All of the links are below for you to subscribe.

I have a TON of clips from tonight's monumental 200th episode! Check them out! If you don't have time or don't care to watch them all, you have to at least check out the "I Love You" and the "Superman to the Rescue" clips. There are no words to describe them, you just have to see for yourself!

It took a while because I wanted to have everything set up and uploaded BEFORE I posted it ... but here are ALL of the Clois scenes from Homecoming! Please enjoy, pass them along and spread the word about my new clips channel!! I have over 1,000 subscribers on my main channel, and I don't want to lose any of them (I had more than 1,600 on my last one). The main channel technically already is at risk of suspension since I have 4 major clips and I'm at 1 strike already, which is why I didn't want to risk it. Either way, this will allow me to upload clips - with any luck - for the rest of Season 10 (fingers crossed).

Please remember to subscribe to all of my channels so we don't lose touch, and always check my Blog for updates in case anything ever happens to my YouTube channels! Thanks so much for all the support over the years, it means a lot.

Part FOUR of the Countdown is UP!

2010-07-27T23:45:00.004-05:00

My apologies, again, for the delay. Real-life continues to knock me in the face and then turns right around and kicks me in the behind, LOL.

Anyway, I still am going to do my very best to have all 100 moments uploaded by September 24th.

Thanks for all the continued support!

I hope you enjoy Moments 85 - 82! :)

Part One of the Countdown is UP!

2010-07-11T05:37:00.002-05:00

Part One is UP!

It may take a while for this to be completed, considering how bad things are in my real life right now ... but I WILL do everything in my power to get this Countdown completed by the end of the summer. Hopefully much sooner than that.

Remember, I already have all of the scenes in order. All I need to do is put them together and render the videos, so it's really just about finding the TIME to sit down and do the work. Unfortunately that's what I don't have much of right now, but I WILL get to it as often, and as soon, as I can!

Thanks for your support over the years, it's the reason I continue to do what I do.

Update on Clois Countdown Status & Sharing a Non-Smallville Video

2010-07-09T22:04:00.003-05:00

Hey everyone.

As some of you may know by now, I have been gravely ill the last several weeks. As a result, I have had to put the Smallville Season 9 Top 100 Clois Countdown on hold.

I still intend to complete it. The hardest part is actually done, as I said weeks ago, but I just don't have the time to finish it right now.

I have been in and out of the hospital and now I am losing my home because I lost my job and can't afford to pay rent. So I will be homeless by the end of the month.

Also wanted to send this to you guys since I thought you might be interested, considering you are fans of my videos. I made this music video a week or so ago. It's basically a Michael Jackson tribute to his song "We've Had Enough."

Whether you are a MJ fan or not, I ask you to take a few minutes to watch it and read the description. Make a change in YOUR life. Help each other. Help the world. Spread love and peace.

At any rate, I wanted to send an update and apologize. As soon as I am able I will get the Clois Countdown finished. Hopefully it will be done before Season 10 begins in September!

Thanks for everything, especially your continued support and understanding!

Genine (AKA SuperGEM)

Update on Top 100 Season 9 Clois Countdown

2010-06-19T17:42:00.005-05:00

Hey everyone. Hope you're making it through the summer hiatus, I know that September can't come soon enough for us all! Season 10 is going to be truly SUPER!

I have been very ill the last few weeks, many doctor's visits and missing a lot of work, so the Season 9 Top 100 Clois Countdown has been delayed a bit... but I'm working on it a little bit today so you guys should see the first part up on my new Countdown channel soon.

Sorry for the wait, and as always I thank you for your continued support and interest!

New YouTube Countdown Channel!

2010-06-09T17:34:00.006-05:00

In the wake of my most recent YouTube suspension, I've created a new Countdown channel.

Please note that my MAIN YouTube channel is still safe, as of now ... so remember to subscribe to and/or "friend" them both.

I hope to get started on the Top 100 Season 9 Clois Countdown soon. Look for it to be posted on the brand new channel!

Thanks for the support, as always! :)

Keep watching my Blog and follow me on Twitter for the most up-to-date information!

More YouTube Issues ...

2010-06-09T00:59:00.005-05:00

Well, my Countdown channel was suspended on YouTube today ... so it seems I will have to reorganize before I begin uploading the Top 100 Season 9 Countdown.

This is just a speed bump, no worries. I'll find a way around it.

In the meantime, please just be sure and subscribe to my Main YouTube channel - and as always, follow me here for updates and info.

How Far We've Come UPDATE ... temporary suspension ...

2010-06-08T02:16:00.005-05:00

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have suspended distribution of the "How Far We've Come" Project for the time-being. I apologize for having to do this, but it has just gotten too difficult to keep up with.

There are MANY of you who have contacted me in the last several weeks requesting it and I know I have been terrible at responding. I have everyone's messages still saved in my inbox, and as soon as I can I WILL do my best to backtrack & get it out there ... but for now I will not be accepting any new requests.

At the moment I'm strictly focusing on real-life issues and the only Clois Project I have time for is the Top 100 Season 9 Countdown.

I'm so sorry, I hope you all understand. Thanks so much for the continued support, and as soon as I'm able to go back and resume distribution I will definitely let you all know. Just keep an eye here on my blog! Thanks! :)

SuperGEM's Top 100 Season 9 Clois Countdown

2010-06-07T03:23:00.013-05:00

Okay, Smallville fans, it's finally time for my Top 100 Season 9 Clois Countdown! :)

Click HERE to watch a special PREVIEW video!

I wanted to get it finished before the Twitter event today, celebrating 72 years of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, and I got it done just in time!

We all know Season 9 was incredible, easily the best season ever ... especially for Lois and Clark fans! What do YOU think the #1 Moment will be? What would YOUR top moment(s) be? I have a feeling the top choice will be fairly unanimous! ;)

I already have all of the clips mapped out ... yes, there really are 100! I should start uploading the actual videos soon, so keep an eye on my sites if you're interested. The actual Countdown will be posted on my SuperGEMCountdowns YouTube Channel, unless that one gets suspended (which is possible the way they have been cracking down on me lately). So in addition to my Blog, please make sure & subscribe to my Main YouTube channel and/or follow me on Twitter to stay in touch.

The #1 Moment of Season 9 will be revealed before Comic Con in late July. That's my goal, at least! I'll try to get a posting schedule up soon. In the meantime, keep an eye on my BLOG here for messages, updates and similar news. :)

Just think ... I had 50 beautiful Clois Moments for my Season 8 Countdown last year ... and I have 100 Clois Moments for Season 9. Makes you wonder ... just how SUPER is Season 10 going to be?!? :)

New YouTube Accounts! IMPORTANT

2010-02-17T02:49:00.003-06:00

Hello my dear friends & subscribers!

Well, as you may have noticed ... my trusty old YouTube accounts have been suspended. Again. Guess I should consider myself lucky, though. My main account, SuperGEM3, lasted almost 2 full years without many problems. Quite an accomplishment, I'd say ... so though I am sad, I am also grateful.

I am mostly upset over losing my 1,600+ subscribers and almost 300 friends ... not to mention all of my own personal subscriptions and favorites, etc. But it's OK. I'll rebuild. I'm actually working hard to rebuild my REAL life right now ... so I suppose I can look at this as just one more difficult and tedious step in that direction LOL.

I'm writing this message to you all as an update, but also to inform you of my unique "rebuilding" plans. Because, I've decided to create not just ONE new YouTube channel, but THREE!

I'm hopeful that this move will help prevent this severe of a blow from ever happening again!

My new main account, which is this one - SuperGEM9- will be where I will post ONLY my music videos (much less likely to cause copyright infringement that will get me suspended again) and maybe a few previews and trailers. It is this account where I hope to rebuild my base of friends and subscribers. So if you want to remain connected with me, which I sincerely hope you do - of course - please SUBSCRIBE to and FRIEND me at SuperGEM9. I will stay in touch with ALL of you that way, and you'll get some nice treats now and then of course.

My second account will be for Smallville/Clois CLIPS. This one, of course, will probably be in the most "danger" of getting suspended in the future ... but since it will just be connected to my main account at SuperGEM9 I won't lose anything other than the uploads and their comments. So if you want to continue to have access to my weekly Clois clips ... SUBSCRIBE to and FRIEND me at SuperGEMClips!

My third account will be a go-between, in a way, because it will be in danger as well but hopefully not as MUCH danger as the CLIPS channel. This one will be strictly for my "infamous" Clois Countdowns. That includes my Top 25 Countdown from Seasons 4 though 7, my Top 50 Countdown from Season 8, the very popular "How Far We've Come" Project, and any future countdowns I may do. Of course I am planning a Countdown for Season 9, and it's going to be TOO GOOD to miss! So if you want to see my Clois Countdowns ... SUBSCRIBE to and FRIEND me at SuperGEMCountdowns.

So there you have it, friends. Three separate YouTube channels with three separate functions, yet still all connected and hopefully easily accessible. I hope this method will work better for me and that you, my friends, won't think it too confusing. I just feel it is the best way for me to continue to bring you the quality videos I have been fortunate enough to make available to you for so many years.

I will be maintaining my policy of manually approving comments to my videos ... but if you add me as a friend on any of these 3 channels of course that means any comments you make will be automatic. As always I will try to approve comments as often and as quickly as I can, but please be patient with me. Now that I'll have 3 channels to manage and not just 1, it may take me a little longer from now on.

Most of my music videos have already been uploaded to SuperGEM9, and I will slowly begin to re-upload videos to both the SuperGEMClips and SuperGEMCountdown channels. Please just be patient and eventually most of your "favorite" videos from me will be back. Not to mention, I plan to begin uploading new Clois clips from this coming Friday's EXCITING NEW episode of Smallville ... so don't worry. I'll be as quick and as thorough as I ever have been with that. At least this time I know if YouTube decides to shut me down, odds are they'll only get one account at a time ... and I can always rebuild. I've done it before, and I'll do it again!

If you know anyone who is looking for my old channels, SuperGEM3 and the backup SuperGEM5, I would be very grateful if you would point them in the direction of the MAIN channel ... SuperGEM9. The other two would be nice as well, but the most important channel for you to connect with in order to insure we won't be separated again is SuperGEM9.

In summary ... here are the three accounts with easy links and basic descriptions.

Main Account - For Music Videos, Subscribers & Friends - http://www.youtube.com/SuperGEM9

Clips Account - For Weekly Smallville/Clois Clips & Updates - http://www.youtube.com/SuperGEMClips

Countdown Account - For my SPECIAL Clois Countdowns, including the popular "How Far We've Come" Project - http://www.youtube.com/SuperGEMCountdowns

If ANY of you have ANY questions about this new setup, PLEASE feel free to contact me, as always. The best way to reach me is by e-mail at supergem3@gmail.com ... at least my e-mail address has not changed LOL! ;)

Of course you can also always view my BLOG for updates and news, etc. The address for that is http://supergem3.blogspot.com/ ... I don't update it often, but when something important like this comes up you can bet that I will look to my BLOG to get information out to you all.

After both of my accounts were suspended earlier today, I won't lie. I considered giving up YouTube altogether. But then I remembered how AMAZING all of my friends & subscribers have been on YouTube over the last 4 years and I realized that I HAD to find a way to continue on. I just want you all to know how much I appreciate your support, feedback and kind words. YOU are the reason why I continue to do this. I am determined to continue and delivery QUALITY Smallvillle and Clois moments to you all, and I am more determined than ever to keep spreading the word about our wonderful show and ship! Thank you ALL, from the bottom of my heart!

Hugs,
GEM

Absolute Justice CLIPS!

2010-02-06T03:21:00.004-06:00

Still uploading! Think I'm done for the night though, at least.

Here are all 11 clips I've got so far ... IN ORDER! Enjoy! :D

CLOIS Moment: Lois & Tess, Checkmate! "What could possibly be more important than a morning date with the great Lois Lane?"

Hawkman & Green Arrow Banter: "Think of me as your parole officer but with a mace!"

CLOIS Moment: Dr. Fate tells of Clois's connection! "I wonder if he does horoscopes."

CLOIS Moment: Tess, Clark & Lois post-Checkmate! "Your girlfriend is in way over her head."

Doctor Fate, Martian Manhunter & Icicle: "It is not your fate to die this day, Martian!"

Lois & Amanda Waller, Checkmate! "You pull more skeletons out of closets than the organization I work for have hidden."

Green Arrow & Hawkman Discuss Hawkgirl: "What would someone like me know about love? Well, I only know it ends."

Justice defeats Icicle! "No more waiting. No more pairing off. We should have stuck together from the beginning."

Clark & Hawkman Discuss Justice: "They're the best friends that I have Carter, but I don't know if we'll ever be what the JSA was."

Martian Manhunter, Chloe & Oliver: "On Mars we never had dessert. But I have grown especially fond of cookies!"

CLOIS Moment: Lois tells Clark about her "fateful" meeting! "Do you believe in fate, Lois?"

ETA: And I just uploaded this little screencap I couldn't resist taking while I was making the clips! ;)

http://twitpic.com/11ncgm - Martian Manhunter in his TRUE FORM!

Absolute Justice Promo!

2010-01-05T19:58:00.005-06:00

I am officially EXCITED enough to start COUNTING THE DAYS TO FEBRUARY 5th!!!!!

Hawkman looks INCREDIBLE! So much better than I expected! Just hope it translates well to live action. I am so thankful for my HD-TV ... that's the real test! If those wings look half as good as this on my large TV then they really will have impressed me!

Major fangirl geek-gasm going on right now! ;)

As for the How Far We've Come Project ... a few more e-mails have gone out. I'll post an updated list in the next few days as soon as I send out the next round. Ideally by Thursday, Friday at the latest. Feel free to contact me with any problems ... and PLEASE follow the procedures I posted originally to get the links. I won't be responding to YouTube messages or Blog comments or messages on random sites. You will ONLY get my attention if you send me an e-mail. That's all I ask, I don't think it should be difficult.

Thanks again, everybody, and Happy New Year! It's gonna be a fabulous year for Smallville fans, especially Clois fans ... I just know it! :)

How Far We've Come - CHECK this LIST for YOUR NAME!

2010-01-02T03:55:00.006-06:00

I have just sent the 5th round of emails to the latest recipients for the HFWC project. So far the links have been sent to 75 people! I am pleased and humbled by your response. I hope everyone is enjoying the video.

I have noticed, however, that less than half of those who have gotten the links have actually downloaded them ... so I want to be certain everything is in order.

Below is a list of the "nicknames," or first names, of everyone who has been e-mailed by me. If your name or nickname is on here and you DID not get the e-mail, first - check your SPAM folder. If it is not in your SPAM folder and you are still interested in getting the information ... PLEASE contact me via e-mail at supergem3[at]gmail.com and I'll be sure to get it to you.

Again, if you see your name here I HAVE e-mailed you the information. If something happened on your end and you didn't receive it, it's now up to YOU to let me know.

Thanks everybody, hope you're all having a safe and happy 2010 so far! :)

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

2009-12-28T23:03:00.006-06:00

I need to clarify something.

If you want the download information for HFWC ... I NEED you to follow the instructions I gave out from the very beginning. They aren't complicated instructions, either, so I'm not sure why people are having such a hard time with it.

Send me an e-mail - to my G-Mail account. The e-mail MUST have "How Far We've Come" in the subject line. Not "hi" or "Clois" or "download" or anything silly like that ... I get a lot of e-mail, so if the subject line is not clear I will probably overlook it.

I need the e-mail to contain FOUR KEY pieces of information: your name, your e-mail address, your online username/nickname and the social networking site I would know you from (i.e. YouTube, DI, Twitter, etc.).

I also would appreciate you acknowledging the agreement that you will not share the links or passwords for the file with anyone else. As you all know by now, that was my only main request before I agreed to make this available for download.

I've been pretty lenient so far but that stops now. From this point on I will ONLY respond to e-mails that follow the above instructions.

If you have questions, that's fine ... let me know. Just be sure to put "How Far We've Come" in the subject line.

I already have reasons to suspect that people have been untrustworthy, which upsets me beyond belief. I'm very close to deleting the links and the project completely, in fact. I thought I could trust everyone but apparently that is not the case. :(

At any rate ... just want to make it clear from this point forward that I NEED that information from you if I'm going to send you the links and passwords.

It isn't much of me to ask, considering the size of this project and the countless hours of work I'VE put into it.

It takes about one minute for you to write an e-mail with those FOUR basic pieces of information, it shouldn't be that hard.

Thanks!

Round THREE of E-MAILS are SENT!

2009-12-27T10:45:00.004-06:00

Round THREE of download e-mails has been sent. This one I was able to send from my G-mail account because there were only 6 recipients. If you believe you should have gotten the e-mail and you did not, check your SPAM folder and if it is not there please e-mail me.

Also, I notice that some people are using my AOL account to contact me. It is understandable since I have sent you guys a few e-mails from there because of G-Mail's strict spam-rules. But I need to make it clear that I DO NOT use that AOL account regularly. On average I sign into it maybe once per month. So you will not get a fast reply if you try to reach me that way. You MUST e-mail me at my G-mail account if you want to get a reply!

I have been very ill for the past week so I may not be sending out another round of e-mails for a little while. So far everyone who has contacted me, as of this moment, should be taken care of. Just wanted to let the rest of you know that if there is a delay in the next round of e-mails it isn't because I'm ignoring you. It's because I'm not feeling well enough to do the work. Hope you understand. Rest assured that everyone who e-mails me with the information requested WILL get the links & passwords!

Thanks again, everyone, for your support and trust. Hope those of you who have downloaded the video so far are enjoying it!

Until next time ...

Take care! :)

SECOND ROUND of EMAILS are SENT! :)

2009-12-25T18:54:00.008-06:00

Merry Christmas, Clois Fans!!

The SECOND ROUND of e-mails has been sent out to people who got their request in after I mailed out the first round on Dec. 23rd!

Again, I had to send the e-mails from my AOL account ...

Be sure to check your SPAM folders if you don't see it in your INBOX. If you believe you should have gotten an e-mail and it is not in your SPAM folder, send me an e-mail at supergem3[at]gmail.com and I'll get back to you ASAP.

IMPORTANT!... the MEGAUPLOAD link in the FIRST ROUND of e-mails for Part Six was INCORRECT. A few of you have contacted me about this and I have replied to those e-mails, but to those who haven't had a chance to download yet E-MAIL ME FOR THE CORRECT LINK if you need it. Or just use Rapidshare.

THANK YOU to Vi, who was the first person to alert me to the problem! :)

The Rapidshare link for Part Six WAS correct, so people have been able to successfully download the full video file using that link.

As far as I know, there are no other technical issues with the links or the video. If you do run across any problems, though, please let me know!

As you all know, the video file is password protected and you can't get the video without the other 11 parts ... which is why I have no issue with posting this ONE link here. Anyone who doesn't have the other links or the passwords won't be able to do anything with this link anyway. ;)

A reminder ... there are TWO PASSWORDS. One to open the Word document, and one to unzip the video file. The password you need to unzip the video file is INCLUDED in the Word document - in the last paragraph.

Do NOT share the passwords with other fans. If I learn that these passwords have been leaked I'll delete the links, the project and future fans will lose out. I am monitoring the downloads so if there is any unusual activity, I WILL know.

Thanks again everyone, as I get more requests in I will be sending out the information every few days or so until interest tapers off.

Happy Holidays!! :)

How Far We've Come - E-MAIL SENT!

2009-12-23T20:04:00.003-06:00

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all doing well! I'm very excited to share this Clois project with you ... and I hope you will enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

All the information you need to download the FULL 5 hour version of "How Far We've Come" has now been sent to your e-mail in-boxes!

I had to send the message from my AOL account, so please be sure to check your SPAM folder in case it was put there by accident.

If you think you should have gotten an e-mail but haven't received it by tonight ... and it is NOT in your SPAM folder ... send me an e-mail and I'll try to correct the problem for you ASAP!

Open the Word document that is attached to the e-mail. The password you need to open the Word file is included in the e-mail.

The Word documents contains links for all 12 of the .rar files. The Rapidshare and Megaupload links are interchangeable so you can use whichever works best for you.

The Word document also contains the password you will need to extract the file once you have all 12 downloaded. Please note that this is NOT the same password that opens the Word file.

Remember, you will need to use a program such as WinRAR to unzip them.

If you have any questions or trouble, please don't hesitate to contact me.

As I've mentioned before, all I ask in return for this is that you DO NOT SHARE the links or passwords with anyone else. If anyone you know wants the download info please just give them my contact information and I will be more than happy to send it to them.

Thanks again for your support and interest, and most importantly thank you for your trust! Hope those of you who celebrate have a fantastic holiday, and I wish the best for all of you in the New Year!

Yours truly,

Genine (AKA SuperGEM)

LINKS ARE READY! E-mail issues ... PLEASE READ!

2009-12-22T22:03:00.006-06:00

The links are READY!! How Far We've Come WILL be ready before Christmas, as promised! :)

I have uploaded the ENTIRE project to both Rapidshare and Megaupload. Figured it was best to have the backup links NOW instead of waiting until someone writes begging me for an alternative. I hope it will be good enough to use those two sites.

My only trouble right now is with the e-mail situation. Google believes I am SPAMMING you by sending the messages from my g-mail account, so I had to resort to sending the TEST e-mail from my AOL account - supergem4@aol.com - which I NEVER USE. Even worse is that several people had that e-mail end up in their SPAM FOLDERS. So I'm trying to figure out a good solution.

At the moment I have created a Google "Group" for the project. E-mails will ONLY be sent by me as it is moderated and restricted, so you don't have to worry about spam or unwanted e-mails coming from the group. In fact, I will probably disable the group after the project is distributed anyway. So you should either have an invite or a notification that you have been added to this Group. If worst comes to worst I will be converting the links into a Word document and uploading it as a protected file - with a PASSWORD - to the group.

The group is here ... you have to be invited to join, though, so if you haven't been added or received an invite yet let me know ASAP!

Either way, I am determined to get this out to you all within the next 24 hours ... thank you for your continued patience and I hope you will feel the wait has been worth it!

As always, keep watching here for updates and if you are interested and haven't already done so - please send me an e-mail or you won't be getting the links! ;)

TEST e-mails are OUT!

First round of TEST e-mails for #CLOIS HFWC recipients were just sent out. If you didn't get 1 & think you should have, let me know ASAP!

How Far We've Come - UPDATE! Video PROMO!

2009-12-22T06:45:00.002-06:00

Getting closer to releasing the links for the FULL DOWNLOAD VERSION of "How Far We've Come!"

Remember, you HAVE to E-MAIL me at supergem3[at]gmail.com in order to get the links. I know I keep repeating myself, but this is the internet LOL. People don't do subtle online. ;) If you WANT to get the DOWNLOAD, you will have to go through me to get it. Which I figure is only fair since I'm the one who has spent literally dozens of hours on this project in the first place.

In the meantime, here is a little PROMO VIDEO to get the blood pumping for ya. Nothing much, just something I did to help spread the word even more that the download is going to be made available.

How Far We've Come FULL PROMO (YouTube Video)

The download links are already in place, I'm just waiting until I have a few more people so I can send one mass e-mail to everyone.

It WILL be e-mailed BEFORE Christmas. In fact, I think I'm going to plan on sending the e-mail either on the 23rd or the 24th, depending. Either way, those of you who ASK shall RECEIVE the download in your e-mail inbox in time for the Christmas holiday on Friday. How's that for a Christmas gift? ;)

The download will be via Rapidshare ... if anyone has a big problem with that let me know now and I'll try to have an alternate in place ahead of time.

Hope everyone is having a festive and fun week and that you will enjoy and appreciate the project once it is complete. Thanks again for all the support, it's the main reason I'm doing this for you all - as a big THANK YOU for your kindness over the years!

How Far We've Come - UPDATE! Almost ready!

2009-12-22T02:23:00.002-06:00

The links are almost ready!

Just a reminder! If you want the download info for "How Far We've Come," you MUST e-mail me at supergem3[at]gmail.com with "How Far We've Come" in the subject line. I need your e-mail address, your nickname and where I know you from. Thanks!

With any luck the entire thing will be uploaded and e-mailed to those who want it before Christmas.

There are 12 .rar files, 200 mb each ... it's over 2GB altogether. Large file, I know, but that's too be expected considering it's over 5 hours long. That's also why it is taking so long for me to upload! Hope it will be worth it though.

Just want to stress again that I will NOT be making the download links PUBLIC, and hopefully no one else will either because if I find out they have gone public I'll delete the files and that will be it. Don't anticipate that happening but that's why I want to e-mail the links instead of just posting them all over the place. Hopefully everyone understands WHY I'm doing it that way.

So please do let me know if you're interested. I've got less than 10 people so far but that's OK ... it's better than only 1 or 2. At least I know I didn't put dozens of hours into it for just 1 or 2 people to enjoy LOL! ;)

How Far We've Come - DOWNLOAD VERSION INFO!

2009-12-21T02:17:00.000-06:00

Clois fans!! It's time! I finally finished the final version of "How Far We've Come!" Yep, that's right. Everything from Crusade to Pandora, all in one big and glorious video. It's almost like a beautiful, epic 5 hour movie all about our favorite couple! I actually added a few MORE clips to it as well, so it's a little bit bigger than originally thought. It started out at 4 hours long, now it is over 5 ... 5 hours and 11 minutes, to be precise!

So here is my big question ...

Is anyone interested in a downloadable version of it? I'm rendering the file now and I'm trying to see how much I can compress it. May end up having to make it into zip files, not sure. Either way, it will be huge ... over 1GB, unless I can manage to convert it and get it down to a smaller size somehow (if anyone has good suggestions for this please let me know).

I am very willing to make this available to my fellow Clois fans, because YOU are the reason why I started this project to begin with. It kills me that I can't share the entire thing on YouTube.

I won't bother spending more hours uploading it unless people really want it, though. So if you are interested, PLEASE let me know! Think of it as my Christmas present to you all. ;)

I don't plan to post the link publicly because I don't want someone snagging it and trying to take credit for it somewhere down the line. Of course I don't expect anyone HERE to do that, I hope that's a given ... but there are always lurkers and it is THOSE people I worry about. I have literally put dozens and dozens of hours into this ... and with all the despicable video theft that has been occurring in the online community lately, I really don't want my hard work to be stolen. I'm sure you all understand.

In short - if you want a download link - please send me your e-mail address. You can e-mail me at supergem3[at]gmail.com (replace [at] with @) or DM me on Twitter if we're friends (I'm EquusFemina). Please be sure to put "How Far We've Come" in the subject line so I don't overlook or accidentally delete your message. Include your name, online nickname (if applicable, so I recognize you) and your e-mail address. I'll make a list and I'll get the link out to you all via e-mail once I have it uploaded!

I'd appreciate it if, once I do this, you guys don't share the links amongst yourselves, or post the link somewhere for anyone to find on the net. If I find out that the link has been distributed to people I don't know I'll just delete the link and then, unfortunately, everyone will lose. Sorry for being anal about it, but like I said ... and as I'm sure most of you are aware ... a lot of video theft has occurred and this is the one project I REALLY don't want to have stolen by some random person.

As for my "At the Beginning" Music Video that YouTube won't allow, I'm working on finishing that as well. Some of you may have noticed the preview clip from it that I uploaded last week, and if you have you know that it is blocked by YouTube. So it will also be a downloadable file. I'll post more here about it once it's complete.

Thanks again for the support, feedback and everything! I hope many of you will contact me soon about the download link, and I REALLY hope you'll enjoy the finished project once you get a chance to see it. In the meantime, Happy Holidays to all! :)
