I'm glad you decided to post it, because it would have been a shame not to. First because it's a good fanfic, and then because it kind of helped me a lot.

See, I've recently immersed myself in a rediscovery of the character of Chad Danforth. lol To make a long story short, I was a bit unsure about his characterisation, I had a kind of caricatured image of him in my head, and although I felt more at ease with Taylor, it was making picturing them as a couple rather difficult. Yin and Yang enabled me to reconsider my point of view on their relationship and look at it as something that could actually work. It also made me re-watch the movies and, I know it can sound surprising, but your Chad reminded more of the Chad in HSM than a lot of the other fics I’ve read so far did. As for Taylor, I really like how you seem to start from her original character and lead her to way deeper a place – one of the qualities of your writing, it seems. :-)

The passages which draw a parallel between their opposite situations are my favourites for their kind of symbolic feeling, along with the last scene which conveys a strong emotion in a very quiet, almost discreet way. If I have one criticism to address to this story (with one year late, normal lol), it's that the different scenes are often a bit too short, which gives a kind of 'disjointed' feeling.

Oh, and I also kind of regretted that Chad and Taylor getting closer had to involve a bit of distance between them and their respective best friends (I'm thinking about the scene of the baseball game, for instance). Yet, when I think more about it, I guess I can see why, and how it doesn't necessarily questions the friendships between them all – to put it in a nutshell, I think both Chad and Taylor needs someone who doesn't belong to their respective worlds, in order to somehow evolve. That's my interpretation of it, anyway. lol
But still. I hope you preserved some kind of close friendship between Chad and Troy / Taylor and Gabi in your following stories. :-) Well, from what I've read from you so far, I know I've no reason to doubt that I'll enjoy your works anyway !

Take care,

This is great! I rarely get into Chaylor fics, but I'm glad I decided to read this one. You did a great job of fleshing out the rather flat characters presented in the movie in a totally believable and human way. Nice job :)

This is definitely better than the first fic I read, about Gabriella's hair. The Bunsen Burner incident. There's slightly more characterisation here, the firm ground of romance. I think that while we're all having fun writing romance, we forget the basis of it. People fall in love because of the common, strong ground they stand on, the similarities that bring them close and the differences that they accept that bring them even closer. Acceptance and affection. Most people just write fluffy fics, and I have to admit I fall victim to that occasionally. So, thanks for at least showing how Chad and Taylor's relationship developed. That's a big plus. :D

I like how Chad understands Taylor and how he supports her, and how Taylor is actually quite insecure and feels that she doesn't belong anywhere. I think you've created two AU characters, that you've stuck with through out the story. :D The characters you created for Chad and Taylor respectively constrast well with the personalities proposed in the real HSM series. And yet, you made them believable. :D

I think the sequence of the events is befuddling. Is Chad already her boyfriend in the beginning and this is all just a progress of their relationship? Or is the opening part of this fic actually the ending?

Good job. Definite improvement here. :D

I just realised that I've never reviewed this story, despite reading it months ago. It was SUPER CUTE!! YOu depict them very well, in my opinion. Muy bien.

Just read this. and i freakin LOVE it!

I agree that maybe it has less of a flow than the rest of your work but I think it's good to post everything you write that is relevant. This can only help with the understanding of Chad and Taylor's relationship in Someday & I wasn't really a Chaylor fan but I'm liking them more and more! Also I like your interpretation of them; I do feel Taylor needs saving in some ways by Chad - they both benefit from each others influence!

Aww, that was very poignant and sweet. I really am pretty Troyella-centric and I don't go searching for stories centered on the other characters, much as I do love and acknowledge the great ensemble that is the HSM phenomenon. But, basically because you are a great writer and make the others interesting too, I wanted to read this. I wasn't disappointed. I think if HSM would expand upon this relationship, this would be a great way to do it. Not sure if I'm making sense but reading this, it made me care about these two a bunch more...like I'd read more Chaylor stuff if you felt inspired to write more too. And, if not, then this is a great piece to stand on its own. Nicely done!

That was so good. I loved the way they complimented one another. Wonderful piece.

Just read it, and I loved it. It was a good idea to explain the whole Chaylor aspect of the High School Musical phenomenon. Since, in the movies it's just implied, I think that it's a good idea to go into detail because "So I can take that little hottie on a proper date." Doesn't really tell us how they got there. ;)

AWESOME JOB!

Love,

Well I liked it. It obviously was a bit different from the normal Troy and Gabriella stuff but it was still important and showed a whole other side to Chad. This one did seem a little bit choppy but it still made sense.(at least to me) I am not sure though that if you didn't read PIMW you would get this oneshot. I still loved it and either way it was well written and just adds more dynamics to the story. Can't wait for your new story. Hope you are still enjoying your travels.

omg this was such an awesome oneshot for chaylor. i loved it tons!! amazing job! can't wait for more!

It's cute! Not something I read often, but it is nice for a change!

that was really REALLY good. lol. I thought you showed Chad and Taylor perfectly! good job.

it was really good! it captured both their personalities really well!

I loved it!
The whole event over time thing wroked!
