I've been struggling with reviewing this chapter because I like this story, and loved the last chapter, but this chapter by contrast was a really difficult read. It's so much thinking back that I really struggled through it.
I therefore thought about not reviewing it at all, for fear of being negative, after what you said in your last comment that my crit sometimes outweighs my praise, but then I just feel guilty about not saying anything. So here it is, Sorry! :( Please don't ban me from your stories!

I think you're a great writer, your attention to detail and descriptions are phenomenal, plus you come up with some great dialogue.
When you write out a scene I'm captivated, but in this chapter there is just one short scene (where he wakes her up from the nightmare) whilst the rest of the chapter is made up of thoughts in Logan's head. I couldn't help but drift off, particuarly since his thoughts kept jumping from one thing to another.
Think of it as watching theatre and one of the characters standing in the middle of the stage and delivering a huge long monologue, with nothing else happening. It's really difficult to maintain focus on what is being said with no other aids /stimuli to hold our attention.

I do hope you finish this story though, with some more dialogues and active scenes ;-)

Author's Response: Hey I always appreciate the feedback, any critique is a good one. I do know what your saying, but unlike a few of my other chapters that slipped through my radar with my editing skills are concerned, this one was just a pain. I mean I try to explain things thoroughly and sometimes I do, admittedly, get carried away but with this particular chapter I'm just trying to accurately explain things. I need the readers to understand there's a lot of ideas floating around in Logan and Rogue's head and that they are in two totally different area's of perception right now, as far as their thoughts of the other one are concerned. When you have a story where you're trying to make their in depth thoughts known to the reader you struggle (or I struggle) because I can't just throw it out in a conversation because the plot of the story calls for them to be in the dark about the others intentions and feelings. I'm trying really hard to stay away from lengthy wordy chapters because I myself prefer a mix with a lighter explanation and more of an action based plot- but I do really appreciate your words of wisdom, nice to know someone cares enough to write about what's really on their mind.

"If she was trying to make him feel better she really sucked at it."

i don't know why this struck me quite as funny as it did, but i'll have you know i'm as sick as a dog right now and nursing a bowl of soup. when i read that line i happened to smile while simultaneously attemping to feed my self. it was tragic, really. the soup didn't make it past my lips and i ended up drooling lava, in form of the creme of chicken soup, down chin and all over my desk.

i hope you're happy. :P

Author's Response: Oh, I hope you feel better. I feel like my body is trying to destroy me from the inside out, I have a vicious cold- so I'm very sorry you aren't feeling well either. rnrnBut about he soup thing... lol- it's so funny you quoted that line too because I almost edited it last night, I didn't know it I liked how it sat in such a serious moment but then I kept it because I liked it too, I'm sorry about the mess but happy I made yeah laugh, thanks for reading!rnrn
