Oh, the three hags were just sublime. Beautifully written, perfectly paced, so incredibly visual. I could see it perfectly in my minds eye. With regards Marie's explanation of her music and the personalities etc, I would have liked a bit more detail, and perhaps a few more shades of emotion in that. I would imagine sharing like that would be a huge deal for her, almost a catharsis. It did seem a little anticlimatic after the potency of the hag scene. But a very minor quibble - still loving this.
Author's Response: Thanks for letting me know that the end of this chapter didn't settle right. I think sometimes I know the story so well in my head that I see all everything that is written between the lines but I don't always get it all into the text. Also, I think Marie was trying to make it seem like no big deal, so she was just playing it all off to the others and wasn't letting herself feel any of the intense emotions so no one else would see them. I think it's going to become a bigger deal for her later on. Either way, I greatly appreciate knowing what other people think towards my writing and constructive things are amazing to get. Thanks for taking the time to do it! Kiss kiss.

Well this is the gal formally known as jenniferjwva, saying:
OH MY GOSH! I LOVE THIS STORY! I have missed it and just to refresh my memory on what had happened, I had to go back and reread the last chapter. lol Sigh... just a lovely story!
I love how Jubilee and Kitty helped Rogue by going into her world and easing her back into "reality". It was very nice.

*Clears throat*
Alright, I have sat over here twiddling my thumbs and refreshing the website waiting for an update and trying to be patient but I figure a month is darn long enough!
Woman you give me my crack and you give it to me now!.....Please??
Author's Response: I'm actually finishing up this chapter as I speak (fine, get technical, type). Sorry for the crazy long delay. It will be up tonight with explanations! Thanks for not forgetting about me! rnrnLoves and Kisses!

Interesting...I look forward to finding out what this incarnation of our favorite characters become.

So first things first, the reason you feel like you ran a marathon is because you did. This chapter had huge emotional reveals in it. I think more so then the previous chapters because we, the readers, knew Logan, Jubliee and Kitty wouldn't hurt Marie even if Marie didn't. Marie's back story, however, is completely open and the amount of blackness in it is completely up to you. Hence both our level of anxiety and your level of exhaustion.
Secondly this is going to sound pervse but I adore the idea that Marie killed Cody. It is a fresh idea on a 'story' we know very well. Even more fresh is the idea that because she took all of him, his presence changes and matures with her. Really cool.
I am looking forward to the next chapter!

Very good story! You're showing some originality here, making Marie's story all your own with Arkansan origins, and having her actually KILL Cody instead of just hurt him.
I bet the last person is one of her parents, right??
Author's Response: Well, she already picked up her dad... and I'll let you see if you can figure our who number four is.Either way, you'll find out eventually. Thanks for reviewing!

Not to be insulting, but I've mostly been indifferent to this story up to this point, nut this chapter made me a die-hard fan. Beautifully intricate with enough details to flesh out the back-story. More, please!
Author's Response: I'm not insulted in the least. Not every story is for everyone, which is why there are so many different authors of published works out there. I'm glad that this chapter caught your interest though. Thanks for reviewing!

Nooo!! Don't be over!
I was getting into the flow of reading this story, and I was like "Wtf" when I couldn't find the button to go to the next chapter.
Please continue!
I've been enjoying it, especially the Shakespeare quotes thrown in.
Makes me feel happy when I can place some of the quotes on my own. Been meaning to read the tempest though... Haven't actually read Macbeth, but I saw the play a few times.
-- Wolf
Author's Response: The Scottish play is a good read and I enjoyed the Tempest as well but it isn't my favorite. I'm currently in the process of writing the next chapter and hope to have it out either today or tomorrow. I'm in the process of moving to Florida from Michigan, so it's been a little hectic around here lately. Thanks for letting me know you enjoy it! Every time someone says something about my story, good or bad, it makes my day.

I've read and reread this chapter after flying through the first four - your writing is quite dense in this one, and what with the crazy ... it can be a bit hard to understand what's going on. That's not actually a criticism - Marie is a complex, fascinating character, and she deserves a bit of extra time and attention (from the reader) to try and figure out what the HELL she is up to.
As a long-time Rogan reader, there is NOTHING I love more than finding a setup I haven't read before, and I'm pretty sure crazywoman-in-the-attic Marie is unique. She's a fascinating character and its going to be a very interesting ride to see Logan move past his grudging interest and build something with her. (If that's what you have in mind). Please don't rush it, though ... this story is magnificent and deserves time and space to let the characters you have created develop and grow naturally.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for taking the time to review. I did struggle a little in this chapter because I felt like she had so much to say, but I didn't want to lose anyone when they were reading. I'm glad that how dense it was didn't make you give up part way. Hopefully the rest of the chapters won't be quite so bad. Please let me know if anything ever doesn't make sense or is to convoluted because sometimes things make sense to me and other people are like WTF? Anyway, I have no plans to rush this because there is so much to this story in my head that I don't even know what to do with it half the time. rnrnThanks for letting me know what you think! Reviews are my bread and butter!

I'm really enjoying this one! You've got a good handle on the characters, and the pacing is perfect. It feels like everything is moving along at a nice clip, with reveals happening naturally, instead of seeming forced.
And I am absolutely enraptured with your crazy!Rogue. She's just too much fun. Smart, and resourceful, and a little sassy - all tossed in with being kind of insane. Really interesting combination, and you are doing wonderfully with writing her.
Looking forward to more!

I really enjoyed this. REally. And the Shakespeare quotes were more apt this time; a better fit, and therefore funnier.
The reveal of the two parties' respective mutant status was everything I could have hoped for, and you accomplished it with less drama than I expected. (I thought Marie's claws would create a crazed sort of moment on both her part & Logan's, but you did good underplaying it)
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm gonna delve more into their respective mutations eventually but it just didn't seem quite right at this time. Thanks for reviewing!

This is just the most brilliant bit of fuckawesome to ever have been penned in the fandom world. I'm kind of obsessed with it. A lot. I love that Marie is crazy. I love it a lot. It makes me feel free, reading your work. I adore the Shakespeareanese. So very far from Algebra on stage. Update soon, will ya? It's been long enough that I don't remember what complements I've already used in a review and you deserve something fresh.

Author's Response: You are beyond awesome for reading and reviewing. Hopefully updates won't be this spread out I had to get things back together because I just got back from Florida. I'm moving now though, so I'm not gonna promises but know that I'm trying.

i feel special, thanks! The first bit of Rogue waking up in a daze totally reminded me of this youtube video. It's called 'unicorn after wisdom teeth'. Awww a new Rogue. ::sniff sniff:: all grown up. :)

omg! what an ending for a chapter. EPIC
ahhh very good story. I like the new take on how Logan and Marie meet. I feel so bad for her being locked in an attic and all. :(

See? I was right about the sneaky bit of potent crazy. I love the last line too. Don't know why. It appeals to me though.

I love your blatant whoring of Shakespeare. I've always had a quirk for people who love the bard. I also really, truly adore your brand of southern crazy. It's much more subtle-smooth-sneaky than most, but also more potent, I think. Definitely addicting. I kinda like your brand of bad luck/magnetized/growlinessity.

I love the McGuyvering escape years in the making. It gives some serious depth to your girl. The insecurity and constant need for music and Norbert are fantastic. I love this girl's twitches and bumps. I hope you don't mind becoming my newest obsession. You may need to take a passing glance at restraining order laws and all that. Cheers.
~Mia
Author's Response: I like people so I'm probably more apt to give you cookies than file a restraining order. I'm glad you are enjoying the story.

I was so excited when I saw your update and you did not disappoint!
Im loving your take on Rogue and cannot wait for another morbid peak into her phyche, the bit with her bunny was heartbreaking.
Cannot wait for your next update, why do you need to go to Florida???
Author's Response: I'm heading to Florida to stage manage an opera being performed by a company called Opera Naples. It's a crazy intensive short rehearsal process (10 days) and then it's two performances so I'm not sure if I'll have the time to do much besides work and sleep while I'm there. We'll see though. rnrnThanks for reading and I'll try to get the next one out as quickly as I can. Kiss Kiss.

The last line was dee-lish ;-D
I always loved Logan's comics-relationship w/Jubes & Kit, so it's a blast to see the threesome @ work here. I hope we see much more of that in future.
...and, so much for "normal"!! Ha ha -- a grown woman being affectionate for a stuffed toy is nutso (reminded me of Tom Hanks' plaintive "Wilson! Wilson!" in Castaway). And then her autistic episode ... it was a terribly pitiful scene; no wonder Logan's girls want to help her.
THe throwaway bit where Rogue is so fascinated by a new song on the radio was maybe your most brilliant moment (very poignant!) ... tied, perhaps, with your utterly unique scenario for how Rogue gets her name. From a Hamlet quote during a schizoid episode! Oh, that's rich!
...btw, I'm most curious about the apparent absorption/psyche that just caused all those problems for Rogue & Logan in the car. Who was that?
Author's Response: I guess you'll have to keep reading to find out won't you? :)
