Hey guys,
I am working on the latest update...but since it´s term paper season... yeah.. you get the picture. So ... I thought I´d give you guys at least some spoilers as well as some responses to those of you whom I sadly cannot send a pm to.
I am going to do the answer part first, so those of you who do not wish to read any spoilers, you´ll still get to look if maybe I did respond to something one of you said :-)
Responses:
1. Dear Arabella, please tell me you managed to turn in that paper in time, I´d hate to feel guilty and responsible for you not turning in your work in time? Thank you for your inspirational review, it´s reviews like yours that help me get some more ideas. (So... keep them coming). I wanted to send you a pm...but since that wasn´t possible..this is for you: I understand your anger towards most of the characters at the moment, but please forgive me for not killing anyone at this point (maybe later). As for the white oak... you´ll find that in this story, I am going to change directions a lot... so I am not going to say if or when the white oak will appear, but it´ll feature in a few discussions and Caroline will be looking for it, just not obsessively, since her recent experiences have taught her quite a lot on how destructive that can be. But don´t worry, she´s going to still kick some ass and rock and do great things. Have faith. And should she ever find some white oak, the question of whom she´ll use it on, will be quite prominent. As for Caroline having way more up her sleeve: TOTALLY! There´s a chapter that I am currently considering to call "Sex on Fire" that you should hold your breath for. (Though, the title may change... you´ll know it when you´ll read it, it won´t be the next update though). Thank you also for your positive take on that selfish Elena quote, I was slightly nervous that my reuse of all those quotes from the show would not work out. As for Caroline being a super-villain. Don´t hold your breath. She´ll be more trying to figure out what she wants and by the end of her 25year journey, Klaus will do something that REALLY pisses her off as well as forces her to interact with him. So instead of assigning her a clear "good character" or "villain" card, I am opting for making her the wild card. Meaning that as of now... not even I know whose side she´ll be on when. Just a tad bit of a warning: I am a cannon-ish writer. Meaning that I put my swing on every road bump Julie Plec puts in my way... however, in this story, Caroline will have a life outside of Plecverse... so eventually you´ll meet people she´s met. I won´t be putting all of those 25 years in straight chapters, some things will be revealed via flashbacks, later. And with all of that potential, I am just not ready to label her a villain or a hero. I consider her a character-in-development. As for your wish of Klaus seeing her happy and feel bad about his actions: Klaus will feel horrible for a long time. And he´ll see plenty of different sides of Caroline, new sides, old sides and happy will be one of them. There are no words to describe how bad Klaus feels. (Which is partially making me nervous since I am ... sort of forced to put it into words...oh crap... what did I do?). Oh... and about the ghosts... they´ll remain important... and sadly, Caroline won´t be seeing some important people for quite a while... even sadder: Bonnie is one of those people. But we´ll get plenty of Kol to tie us over. The ghost thing will definitely not go away any time soon... as for the asylum vamps... omg you´ll all hate me. I may or may not have had a G.R.R. Martin moment with them. ... don´t worry... they won´t just not recur again, I am not that evil. I put them to a different use then you all thought I would. So no, as compelling as the image is: Caroline won´t lead an army of crazy-ass vampires through the streets of New Orleans (... and yes, it´s a tempting image... hm... maybe... no. I got to stay strong, No army march on NOLA!... ) but they won´t just disappear, I swear. They´ll still be important. (not just for flashbacks). I really appreciate every single thought you had and gave me, and thank you for your patience. I am not quite sure if my work is truly epic, but thanks for the vote of confidence :-) (and please tell me in your next review whether you got that paper in on time).
To the guest who called this his favorite so far: Gee... knowing what lies ahead, I am curious for how long that´ll last :-)
to the guest asking for a happy Caroline: have faith, it´ll happen.
To Justine: You want to read some paying? Fine... Paying I shall give you (just not in the next update, bear with me, please).
To guest who doesn´t want for Caroline to change... have faith in my attempt at character developement, please? *puppy eyes*
Everyone...feel free to write a review to this note... I appreciate thoughts...they give me evil ideas :-)

Okay, if you read this now... you wanted it. You´ve all been warned.
1. The next update will be called: "if you love me just stay close"
2. It´ll be a mash-up between a letter written by Caroline and her actual experience mixed with occasional thoughts from... Klaus.
3. It´ll contain Kol. let´s be generous, it´ll contain two Kols. And maybe Liz?
4. Caroline will work up a lot of anger and grieve... basically she´ll do some of that soul-searching that she put on hold in favor of survival for 86 years.. . and NO, she won´t be talking to a shrink.
5. There´ll be a cat.
6. The chapter could be considered a PSA for "Things you should not do when you have the 6th sense..." , her ghost vision will be a disadvantage in this chapter.
7. Thomas... will be give a place in Caroline's life. (I know, when you all were so hyped up about that asylum vamps, he was probably not the first that came to mind... but...)
So...everyone is free to comment, if you have pm enabled, I´ll even respond. :-) Thanks for the support so far.. I am ... honestly thrilled.
