I had to skip over the depiction of the rape at this hour, because it is so deeply affecting I would never sleep. So take those paragraphs out of the running, and this is what I choose:
With an almost pensive expression on his face, he released his claws.

Hey, if the writing is good I vote for a long story.
And its great writing so far...
As for disturbing material, I am disturbing or I wouldn't adore watching Robot Chicken.
So your forgiven. LOL.
I did like the chapter. I wondered why he didn't use the 'eyebrow' on her instead of the 'voice'.
But that's just my silly opinion at 3am.
Yeah, I got to kill somethin'! Woo Hoo! I need a refill.

Author's Response: (Robot Chicken is great). Thank you uber much, I'm glad you think so.

For me, the longer the story the better. I've actually gone to the Top Ten lists repeatedly in order to get as long a read as I possibly can.
Also, I am really enjoying what you're doing with this story so far. Your version of Logan with all his inner-denial is so refreshing and I am absolutely loving it. I really hope you're not done with this story soon; it has such wonderful imagery and I cannot wait to see what happens. Keep it up!
Author's Response: Hi! Thank you. I really really appreciate that. >super tight hug<

I love your story, but I vote for an end and new story, simply because it does make me pause when a story has a lot of chapters, and it seems to me to be easier to keep up with the plot it it's a little shorter.
Author's Response: Thank you, and I mostly agree, but more people said "long".

Here's the thing about long stories...good ones, like this and the masterworks 'Still-Life' and, of course, 'Scripture', to name only two, are a joy to read once one has the time to do so. Ten chapters, twenty, even thirty, with your byline would be more than fine with me. There are poorly written long stories, but since you are pathologically incapable of poor writing, their existence is of no consequence and should not factor in any way in your decision about how best to continue this story.
In other words, you hook 'em with the first chapter and never let go, so don't worry about how many words it takes to tell the tale. Trust me, your readers don't mind.
This chapter was beautiful in its unflinching ugliness. I'm glad you felt confident enough in yourself and the characters to not hold back for fear of offending anyone. You 'went there' with great success. Bravo.
And now, I join the rest of the ranks in looking forward to Chapter 11...or Chapter 1, or Part II, or whatever you want to call it... --Wendie
Author's Response: I hope you'll forgive me for answering the last comments all together in this one. Normally I feel that not answering a review is the equivalent of looking Karma in the face, smacking you're lips and cracking yo mama jokes, but the laptop I borrow once a week just got here (great friends) and I'm about to start typing up the new chapter. I am equally insanely ecstatic (sometimes 'pleased' and 'grateful' just isen't sufficient) with each of your beautiful reviews. Thank you for taking the time/effort for sharing them with me. It means a lot.

Hello, I made an account just to write to you. Ive been following your story since the begining and then read all the others but I never know what to say in reviews. Im writing to you now because I wanted you to know that your story inspired me and Ive made a drawing about it. Id like to send it to you. Maybe you can write to me to this email addy psy_the_brat (at hotmail.com) and Ill reply with the attatched drawing ?
Author's Response: >happy screams< Oh, god. I've always wanted to hear that. It's one of the greatest things in the whole world. >hugs< Thankyouthankyouthankyou! And sure, I'd love to see your picture.

My goodness, we're only halfway through?!? And I say this not out of astonishment at the length (I adore long stories!), but because I wonder if I can make it through emotionally. Of course, I want to and I will and I'll be SO glad with each update, but it's just hard to imagine, you know? Oh dear, I'm afraid I'm being vague and confusing. As long as you keep writing so I can find out what happens next, I don't care if it's one long story, a good-sized two-parter, written in sonnet form or half a zillion haikus. Just, for the love of Pete, please please keep going!
Author's Response: It may be less, depending on the length of the chapters--or more, if they are shorter. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yes, it’s your crazy fan-girl stalker again! I'm considering emigrating, because we're clearly in different time zones and so my alert comes in the middle of the night and I have no time in the morning to absorb myself in this amazing story and then I refuse to read it in work with all the interruptions... anywhoooo...
What an emotional, disturbing and heart-breaking chapter. Quite simply, your writing is wonderful.
“And if in the next, Logan rolled over and spoiled the illusion, it would be okay. That would be okay, it really would…” – an outstanding demonstration of her mind-set in so few words.
When you replayed her horrific experience, I found myself physically cringing away from the laptop, it was so distressing. But once again, this is a credit to your writing.
So I’ll stop gushing now. Oh, and I vote for one long story, but whatever you decide, I’ll follow…
Author's Response: Bet that's a reason for travel the airlines haven't heard before. I have fan girls!!! Yaaaaay!! Im sorry to make you cringe; I didn't mean to go that far. Thanks for this: it made a headache-inducing day much better.

Stop making me cry!!!! I'm singlehandedly financing the handkerchief industry already, and it's all because of you. This was breathtaking.
Author's Response: I'm sorry!!!!! >hands soft, iced cookie and hugs<

aaah, I don't care which it is, this story is not over and needs to get written NOW!!!! :-)

What a chapter! Not for the faint-hearted that's for sure.
Hmmm I like long stories with many chapters, a series can sometimes interrupt the flow of a story.
You could just continue und write 'Part 2' at the beginning of chapter 11, some do that.
No matter what I'll keep reading ;)
Author's Response: Yes, I think that's what I'll do. Thank you!

Wow, that was a seriously intent chapter - and I loved it! Rogue's power is obviously beginning to manifest and I can't wait to find out the ramifications of this.
As for the length of your story - one long story is okay as far as I'm concerned. I think if you spilt it up and put the rest in a sequel the idea as a whole will lose some of its impact. So I'm for keeping it as one. Although whatever you decide to do will be okay with me as long as I get to read the rest of this amazing tale!
Author's Response: I'm so glad!! Supercalifragilisticmambouber-thank you. >bouncing<

Ok first off – please no series. It’s either a complete story or not. I guarantee you we’ll all stick with this because it’s so bloody good and we’d all still be waiting impatiently for updates either way so there would be no point. Beginning/Middle/End with no repeats. jnet has pointed out two excellent longer stories as examples – and this is excellent, for those who like to get their teeth into a lengthier story the good ones are few and far between. Please let the fic take you wherever you want it to go and don’t worry about length - gaps in time and such can be accomplished without loosing any of the story. Basically if it’s finished it’s finished - if not then it’s not.
Now I’ve got that off my chest on with the chapter.
Very well done. A sensitive subject and harrowing experience handled superbly. Very brave too, not everyone would have the guts to do the details. I’m glad you did.
Little bit more background into her power in this one, it’s there if you search for it but it doesn’t scream at you, it's just quietly lying there under the surface. Great job as usual.
End ramble. (which would have ended a lot sooner if not for your end notes.)
Author's Response: Thank you!!! >glowing with pride< You're awesome<

With a story as wonderful as this, a large number of chapters is a good thing, means its not over before I want it. I like the longer stories. Frankenstien Effect....I never wanted this for you, for example.
Author's Response: I love you! Thank you....though Im a little puzzled--Frankenstein Effect?

Yet again you have just blown me away with your attention to detail and your amazingly descriptive writing style! I love this story so much and will continue reading even if there are a hundred chapters! Personally I like to read all stories, not just high ratings or high amounts of reviews because sometimes you strike gold like I did with this story in the beginning. Hope this helps!
Author's Response: This put tears in my eyes. Thank you so much!

Another great update. Totally worth the wait. I like the Logan who gets to use his claws. :)
To answer your 'over-obsessive side' - personally I like long stories. I usually search for them. So my vote is for long.
Author's Response: This was wonderful to hear. 'Tanks.
Date: 09/20/2010 8:27:52 PM Title: Chapter 10
another great chapter. a little confused at the ending not quite sure what happened?
I think it's a great fic, one of the best in a long time. However you want to handle this I think it'll will be alright. I'm always looking for updates on this story, so either way I'll still read this no matter how long you make it! can't wait to see where it goes from here!
Author's Response: I'm so sorry you found it confusing. Umm...she ran into her father in the hall, her skin switched on, and she nearly killed him. Logan fineshed the job. Thank you, a million times.

Oooh, can't wait for more! And I, personally, hate series. I don't really see the need for them most of the time. I would rather have one long fic. But either way, I will keep reading. :)
Author's Response: Thank you! Im very grateful and will keep that in mind.

First of all thanks for 2 updates in 2 days and long ones! You're great.
This was a great chapter; though in the middle when you described what happened to the girl I felt kind of sick and I had to skip a couple of lines (then I got courage and read it all). Thing is when I'm reading this I feel like I'm inside the story and I feel what you describe so vividly, this is one of the many reason I love your writing (yes even if it made me feel sick I love it coz I know Logan will make it all better eventually).
About your last question; I don't think the number of chapters have an effect on the readers, I think whats important is the frequency of the updates and the number of reviews it gets. On the other hand I wouldn't mind if you turn this into a serie if you will. I will be hooked up with this story until the end whatever you do :D
Author's Response: Im sorry to sicken you, but glad I could do it--does that make sense? Thank you. >hugs< People like you keep me writing.

Wow, another great chapter in another compelling story. It really makes my day when I get an email alert that you posted a new chapter! I'm really enjoying this story. I absolutely love your Logan and his relationship with Marie. Regarding your question about one long story or a sequel--I vote for one long story. Personally, I don't care how long a story is as long as it's good--which this is.
Author's Response: Reviews like yours make my day/week. Thank you, for your wonderfuk words and your vote.

First of all: again I'm running into the problem of not knowing what to say about the wonderfulness of your writing. Since anything I put down pales in comparison to your words. I looked over the previous reviews & your responses (because I'm a stalker, get that restraining order handy) - and for someone who doesn't have a personal history with this kind of trauma you are describing it perfectly.
Actually, my job is helping victims of sexual assault and when I read this I'm astounded at how well you're able to put words to something that is for the most part unspeakable. I mentioned the mind-body disconnect from last chapter, but the blinding clarity & unpredictability of panic attacks is also treated very well and realistically.
As for the bottom A/N: I think that dividing it up wouldn't hurt. I think I'm more inclined to read a series versus tackling a monster of a story. Sometimes it helps the reader with the transitions of the story too - if a lot's going to happen & there's a shift in tone (like maybe it starts out w/ awful circumstances like this & then everything starts looking roses for the characters & they heal & trust each other & kittens & rainbows...but I digress).
Also, when you described his fake-sleeping-concentration-face I totally pictured how he looked in the last pic I emailed you....except without the dripping beachy wetness.....ok time for different thoughts!
Author's Response: I'm having the same problem, trying to express how thankful I am for these beautiful reviews in a way I haven't used before. Thank you. I felt almost guilty describing an experience I haven't had, as if I have no right. You are always too awesome for words Sarah...and I was picturing the same thing!
