Hi! I just finished the entire story after the fic rec from FuckYeahRogueAndWolverine @ Tumblr. I'm very glad they did, because I don't have time to read everything that's posted here and I would've missed it otherwise. I'm going to add you as a favorite author because your Logan and Marie made me squee like the happy fangirl that I am. Thank you for sharing this awesome story, and I'm looking forward to reading more from you.

OHHH. lol I should have caught that. thanks for clarifying.

Author's Response: I've been such a slacker about responding to reviews, I don't even know what this is about! But I do know there are many things in this story I think I've made clear and then they turn out not to be so clear, so I'm glad I was able to clarify something for you. :-)

That was supposed to be pity frak not pretty frak, sometimes I wonder about how my head and my fingers communicate or don't I guess. :)

Author's Response: Ha, I was all asking my husband, "What's a pretty frak? Is that some hip new lingo I don't know?" We knew frak of course, but the pretty part was a little confusing. Thank you for clarifying!

This one has had me at the edge. So want to know what is next. Rogue is tougher more edgier she has more complexity thanks to her survivor instincts

Author's Response: So glad you liked it! Thanks for the compliment -- tough, edgy, and complex is exactly what I was going for with Rogue's character. When I started I had as inspiration the little girl in "The Professional," and now having seen the "Dragon Tattoo" movie I think there's a little bit of Lisbeth in there too. Someone who has been forced by life to become smart and independent, but also a little emotionally immature and isolated/antisocial.

Following this story on FF.net, but I need to leave a comment here as well...Love this chapter, possessive Logan is too hot and sexy, I never get tired of reading it, and I like your smart and strong Rogue! Thanks for this!

Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much for leaving a review! Yeah, there's a special place in my heart for protective/possessive Logan. ;-) I'm glad you're finding Rogue to be smart and strong. That's always my goal. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

No! The edgy and frightened part is wonderful. Don't you dare go and have everyone cuddle it out! The frightened part is like a rollercoaster. You go because you enjoy not being able to anticipate where the drops and turns are or how it'll come out in the end. I like your writing BECAUSE it's edgy.

Author's Response: :-D Okay, I'll keep you on the rollercoaster then. Thanks again for your reviews!

Forgive me for being selfish, but I'm glad that you didn't wait a few months to write another story!

I really like this premise. I can't wait to see how this one plays out.

Author's Response: Not selfish -- encouraging! Thanks so much for your review. Glad you like the premise.

Agh, gah, I'm so sorry! I spaced out and didn't even think about the issue of non-con, just about the bad guys being, well, Bad, and the fact that you're successfully showing them as such. By "don't flinch" I just meant that I believe we should never, ever completely sanitize (love your word choice) something as abhorrent as human trafficking or rape, because to me that completely disrespects and belittles the suffering and pain that victims/survivors go through. I don't mean "make it as horrible and awful as it can possibly be," because every writer has her own flinch point and there's nothing wrong with that--but it really does a disservice to the world if we try to paint human trafficking as "not so bad." Because it really, really isn't.

tl;dr OMG I FAIL AT FEEDBACK. >.

Author's Response: Not at all! I totally know what you meant. It was my own insecurity talking. I went back and forth with myself about this issue before I started writing sentence one. For Marie it makes at least a little sense with the whole "untouchable" thing, but it does strain credulity to think that Kitty and Jubilee also would be taken by Very Bad Guys and kept relatively unharmed. For that reason I almost shied away from the whole plot device, and then tried to think of a way to write it without Logan looking for Kitty and Jubes, but in the end this was the plot I had and I figured it was better to just keep that level of implausibility rather than to not write the story at all. It definitely is flinching, and I completely cop to it. I'm doing the same thing by hedging and writing Marie "young" but then making her adult, just because I can read about underage Rogan and acknowledge that those stories are very well-done, but I can/will never write it. Hazard of my profession, maybe. Anyway, a lot of babbling to say I totally understood what you meant, and you're totally right, and I just focused on the non-con angle because I already knew that was a weakness in my plotting of the story. Makes sense?

Wow, you really went for it in making these guys loathsome. But then that's what human trafficking is. Don't flinch, okay? :)

Author's Response: Hmmm...that's really good advice. I think I probably did flinch a little, in that there's never going to be any outright non-con in my stories. Allusions to past events, or even attempted assaults, but I can never quite bring myself to make a plot point out of rape. I think to do that you have to do it completely, brutally, well (like in "The Girl") and even if I could pull that off it just doesn't fit my escapist popcorn style of fanfic. So, this will be a slightly sanitized version of human trafficking, in that regard. Plenty of violence, though, to make up for my squeamishness in other areas. ;-)

Oooooh this looks good! I love it already. Love that Logan thinks Marie smells enticing. Always a good sign. More please.

Author's Response: So glad that you're liking it! Yeah, I think Logan's version of "love at first sight" is "sniff at first sight." ;-)

Ooh! I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw another doctorg story so quick after the last one. Lucky us!

Very intriguing. Every question alesia posed--yeah, I'm pretty much on the edge of my seat wondering those things too.

She wore a white button-down shirt and a short, girlish skirt, and she was barefoot in ragged tights. One pale toe peeked out of a hole in the foot of her tights, the oddly vulnerable sight twisting something tighter in Logan’s chest as he bit back the angry growl that threatened to leave his throat.

There is something so powerful about that image and Logan's response to it. It's sad and disturbing yet sexy. Definitely makes me wonder how old Marie is.

You may not have a road map for this one, but I'm more than willing to follow wherever it ends up going. I'm sure it'll be great regardless. Please post more soon! You've left more questions than answers with this tease of a first chapter.

Author's Response: Yeah, I couldn't believe myself when I started writing another story so quick. ;-) I'm glad you found the start intriguing. And Rogue will definitely be "of age," but I did intend for her to come across at first glance as less mature. I'm not sure where the idea for this came from, but as I started writing I thought quite a bit about "Taken" and "The Professional" (both really good movies) for inspiration, and those movies skew much more to the younger girl protagonist. And to further convince you of the joys of Google Docs, I've shared this one with you too, so you can sneak a peek at Chapter 2 anytime you want. ;-)

Reads like a great beginning, eagerly awaiting more, you never disappoint.

Author's Response: Glad you like it, thanks so much for reviewing! I've had a streak of inspiration today, working on chapter 3 now, so more should be forthcoming soon. :-)
