Barely Legal Since 2000
Oh my goodness, I changed my mind three times on this one, but had to settle on this ultimately, because it is just so genius:
You can always count on murderers and motorcyclists to keep a pair of gloves handy.
Found a possible oops...
Providing a enemy... Should it be providing an enemy?
Ignore it if I read it wrong.
Other than that, what a wonderfully visual chapter.
I loved the rainbow comment near the end.
And I'm glad long story won out. Regardless, I still would have followed the story.
Yeay, I get to go home. I've missed pissing off Scooter.
Linda and my Wolvie Muse.
So, i like it. I'm a litle wary, because my favorite stories don't involve the X-Men in these situitations, but I don't feel like it won't work for this one, so I'm also kinda excited. Off to the next chapter.
I have to say I love how you described the sensations that Logan experienced while being drained.
Author's Response: Thank you!!! Im so glad you like it.
You see, your reaction its the obvious one for me, I just don't understand the reason my family and friends looked at me as f I was crazy when I started jumping and screaming at the news that Hugh Jackman was so near lol- hes about to make another shot in another location (15 blocks away from my home). And Ive been roaming that zone all day, they're preparing things, like lights, a red carpet and stuff but I dont know the actual time hes gonna be there. Anyways, I had to share this with ppl who do understand haha :)
Author's Response: Would you mind emailing me? I'd love to chat about this.
OMG... can you believe this morning Hugh Jackman was 5 blocks away from my own house filming a commercial spot for a tea! I heard that late and I missed him :( I live in Montevideo, Uruguay, the end of the world, I never thought I would EVER see Hugh Jackman here! Hes gonna be filming in my city for 3 days more and Im gonna chase him until I catch him lol-
Now, whats really important; your story :). Nice and well written as always, Im looking forward to see what happens next. I hope she figures out how to control her mutation, itd be a pity to be untouchable forever :) please update as soon as possible!
Author's Response: OOOOHHHHHHMYYYGOOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!!!! OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!! >grabs imaginary inhaler, takes huge puff, continues universal fangirl scream< Get your Wolverine-shaped butterfly net ready. God...Im so jealous its not even funny....(Thank you.)
Oh yeah!!! Finally!! The description of how her mutation is working is brilliant (I use that word a lot when it comes to your story). She better be welcome at Xaviers. And just on a general principles : Death to Jean!!!!
Author's Response: >hugs< I love you.
ooooh - I was review number 200 - is that a winning number? do i get a prize? I'll take an early update!! xx
Author's Response: Lmao. I'll do my best. Would you settle for a spiffy pen?
Determined not to ramble today so here goes.....Loved it - wonderfully written – thoroughly enjoyable to read – great stuff as usuall – keep it coming – update soon etc etc etc.
Must just say you’ve written one of the best descriptions of the effect of Marie’s power on Logan I think I’ve ever read. That and......I am so hooked on this story – I’m even quite enjoying the excitement of reading in chapters a statement reserved only for you and your amazing talent.
Author's Response: >beaming with pride< You won't regret your conversion. Would you like a cookie? It comes with your official Chapter-Lovers membership.
I tend to alternate between reviewing your story here and on the other site you write for - (no particular reason, it just depends where I happen to be when your notification comes in!) - but my adoration for your story never wanes. I love this chapter - your description of the city towards the end is especially poignant and I love Logan's thoughts about fainting. He's dropped by one of the most powerful mutants on the planet and he considers it 'fainting'! Bless him!!
And now I presume he's off home to Xavier's? Looking forward to the rest of the team meeting 'his girl'!!
Author's Response: I'm ubberly grateful for it, on both sites (though the WRFA is my favorite; it never screws up my format). Thank you very much. I'm always excited to hear from you.
This chapter is gripping. And the second-to-last paragraph, where you describe the city, is so perfectly written: “Grey slush on the roads, rainbows made by spilled gasoline and street lamps.” – love it.
“He reminded himself that he was strong; he was The Wolverine; he didn't do pussy shit like faint.” – Logan – ever the hero - lol!
So I’ve had to endure a ghastly Monday at work (aren’t they all?!), but having this to look forward to (yes, my alert came in the middle of the night again, I'm still trying to convince the hubby this is a good enough reason to emigrate!) has helped me through. Thank you RoseSumner!
Author's Response: I'm glad that people liked that. I redid that paragraph at the last second. I had something completely different. Supermambogracias. I hope your next Monday goes better!
I read holding my breath and then the chapter ends... evil so evil!
Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Wow. You can hold your breath that long? Impressive. =) Thank you.
Sigh, an update. Thank you! And I'm honored by the dedication. :) I love the visceral images in this chapter, from the description of Marie's postures to the city scene. Very effective! The emotional pull in this chapter is particularly strong (which is saying something, given this story), but at the same time, the sentence "You can always count on murderers and motorcyclists to keep a pair of gloves handy" had me almost laughing out loud. (Woulda dunnit, but the baby's sleeping.) I am SO glad they're on their way out. Please please please have Xavier's be the haven she needs!
Author's Response: I'm so sorry! Coulda that I'd replied to this. I think my computer had a glitch-or maybe I exited too soon. Anyway, thank you with a thousand hugs and puppies and those chocolates with the vanilla cream inside.
I really do hope that she realizes that Logan is only trying to help her. If I was in that situation, I'd be terrified of him and where he was taking me because of the trauma that she had to face prior to him.
Author's Response: Thanks. >hugs tightly<
Yeah! Your back...we missed ya! I'm so glad that they are finally out of that god forsaken city...I was starting to get depressed just thinking about that place. On to greener pastures!
Author's Response: Theres a rediculously large grin on my face. Thanks for putting it there.
Well, you finally made me cry. That last line was so sad.
The descriptions of how her mutation felt were positively riveting and then, as if that wasn't amazing enough, you take the time and effort to tell us about the "Grey slush on the roads, rainbows made by spilled gasoline and street lamps." It's details like that that weave these literary tapestries with such depth of color and texture, that bring them to life. Girl, you are the blu-ray in a world of HD.
One typo you might want to pay some attention to: "He had wanted to be out of her by noon..." I know you meant 'out of here, but this slip is almost Freudian, if you know what I mean.
The above notwithstanding, you have every reason to be very proud of this chapter. --Wendie
Author's Response: Is blu-ray better than HD? And thank you so much for telling me about that typo, (*blush*) I jumped up immediately to correct it....If only it were that kind of story. >sigh< Thanks a bajillion.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Twas magnificent. I really enjoyed the reading of this chapter. Is it too strange that I found it to be warm and fuzzy and happily comfortable? Don't judge me.
~Mia
Author's Response: Yeah, a wee bit on the strange side. But I'm glad. I never wanted this to be the kind of story you have to take a prozak to get through. Thanks!
I feel a little redundant reviewing after spending most days emailing/preparing emails (oh those Hugh beach pictures) to you. However, it's also blasphemy if I don't review. So I was like WWLD? (What Would Logan Do?) and the most PG thing I could come up with was crack open a beer in preparation to read this. Which I did. And I happened to enjoy both the booze & the chapter. I'm super excited they're leaving. Are they going straight to the mansion? Do I actually want an outright answer to that or to read it instead? Don't mind me.
Favorite here: "You can always count on murderers and motorcyclists to keep a pair of gloves handy" True. Maybe I'll include an insert in the next MANimals issue for ferals who like to dabble in black-ops & bikes.
Author's Response: Do you really think I would answer that? And redundant-smundant; the absence of a Sahara review would be a great loss. I'd go on strike.
More please!
Author's Response: You bet.
