Barely Legal Since 2000
I liked how Erik still understands Charles enough to know when to stop mocking -- if only for a moment.
Author's Response: Yes, knowing Kitty and Jubilee are at risk raises the stakes considerably. Enough to sober Lehnsherr, if only for a moment. Thanks for your review!
Love this eleventh chapter, because I really like your portraits of Xavier (the "My children" line was great!) and Erik(I don't dare write his surname!. I'm deeply cuious about the connection between Erik and Weapon X, and absolutely love the final Logan and Xavier's line: "Fick", "Indeed". Well said.
Author's Response: So glad you liked it! You might have to wait a few more chapters before we get back to Weapon X's involvement, but I promise interesting stuff happens in the meantime!
Love Logan's last line. His economy of language is so refreshing, don't you think? And speaking of language (there's a pun in there somewhere, I fear), you captured Xavier and Erik perfectly.
As regards Weapon X...Logan and Xavier thought they had problems with Freddy and the Brotherhood. Throw in Stryker and his crew and things are going to get complicated and ugly real fast. I can't wait to see how all this fits together, but i wouldn't be opposed to a smutty little Rogan interlude along the way. heh, heh. --Wendie
Author's Response: Yeah, it might be a little cheap to have Logan curse so much, but sometimes no other word will do. ;-) I'm so glad you found Xavier and Erik to have believable voices. And yes, I think Weapon X's involvement will make the Brotherhood look like old pals to the X-Men. And don't worry -- when I wasn't sure what the plot would be I had the caveat about possibly not getting to the smut -- especially since Rogue started out somewhat immature and vulnerable, and I didn't want to rush it and make it squicky. But now that it's shaping up to be a longer fic I'll definitely get the hot Rogan sex in there. You guys deserve it for all the reading you're going to have to do!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
And I thought your other cliffhangers were harsh. lol. Wonderful chapter. Slow? Not at all. Nerve-wracking? You betcha!
I really like how Xavier really thinks of them all as family. "My children..."
Dammit. Logan's gonna go. I can't wait for more!! Thanks for this post! Happy New Year!
Author's Response: Aw...maybe it's mean to say, but I'm so glad you found this to be cliff-hangery! It really struck me as a chapter in which not much happens -- sometimes I really get frustrated with having to get characters fed and that kind of thing! Yeah, it's interesting, my husband got me into the X-Men comics, and I had never realized that Xavier had a child of his own. I had always thought that he was childless and had taken on the X-Men as his surrogate children. And of course Logan's gonna go -- what fun would it be otherwise! Happy 2012 to you too!
Slow??? Slow? Darlin' I wouldn't call this slow AT ALL. You had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. You have Erik's voice down, I could Ian McKellan doing that scene on screen as I read it. The pacing was great, the twist of power that is the signature of everything Magento does at the end. Perfect. I love it.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you didn't find it slow -- and that you liked Erik's "voice." At times I think I make him sound a little too much like Xavier, because the formality of their speech is so alike. Thanks again for reviewing!
oooo, exciting chappie!
Author's Response: Glad you thought so! Thanks for leaving a review. :-D
Absolutely loved the new chapter! Can't wait for more of doctorg's masterful story telling!
Author's Response: Thanks so much -- so glad you're liking it! It's great to get positive reviews back, especially for chapters that seem less exciting or eventful than some of the "landmark" chapters I have in mind when I'm writing.
