Nothing much. I like to read. A lot. Like, way too much. Almost as much as sex. Close second, really. Rogan is among my favorites. I have a weakness for relationships with older men. Tis why I also ship Severus Snape/ Hermione Granger, Bella and Edward (don't hate me, it's my dirty little secret), and Ranger/Stephanie.

I love arumnumenes or however she spells her name, Epic, September, and quite a few others. I'm horrible about reviewing and feel guilty about that. Imma try to do better on that front from here on out. Not promising. But I'll try.

I'll third that. Hey, write another on the end and resubmit it so that everyone can see the awesomeness that is your incredible storyweaving. It kind of blew my mind. I just read it yesterday and I am already wanting to reread it again. I never do that. Ever, Maybe with my most coveted favorites 5 years after I first read them. But still. Don't ever stop writing, please. You have a skill with words that most only ever imagine wielding.

Rogue and Logan haven't met, but Rogue knows a lot about Logan, mostly because of a run-in with Nick Fury. Chaos, despair, and memories follow.
Mostly AU, with various comicverse elements and a hint of X1 eventually.

This is so damned beautiful. I have really grown attached to your brand of humour. Your Rogue may well be one of my favorite badasses of all times. I may be a little gay for her.

~Mia

Author's Response: Thank you muchly, m\'dear. I aim for badassery, and it\'s always extremely flattering to be told I\'ve hit my mark, especially in such a charming way as you\'ve been doing so far. And worry not; if I weren\'t a little gay for dear Rogue, I\'d not have written nearly so much story with her in it.

Your destruction is gorgeous to me. Bring it on as often as you feel inclined. You have a beautifully instinctual lilt to your writing that I find highly entertaining, intoxicating and amusing. I love your dry, jaded sense of humour. Thank you for sharing it.

~Mia

Author's Response: I\'m blushing. Thank you so much, and you\'re more than welcome. By the by, I\'ve not dabbled back in X-men fic in quite some time, but I\'ve not stopped writing. I\'ve just sort of located to a new fandom for a bit, given that it sort of commandeered my interest and shanghaied all my plot bunnies. I\'ve got more fic (slash-fic, I admit) at http://likeahurricane7.livejournal.com/

You gorgeous bit of awesome! I love how you twist everything around. As soon as I get the chance, (read: devour everything of yours on this site) I am going to check out your livejournal account. I am curious to see what has gripped your imagination and plot bunnies so well. I can understand that completely. I sometimes go weeks just needing Severus Snape/ Hermione Granger stories and nothing else. Other times it's Stephanie Plum stories or Bella/Edward awesome cliches. I should be a little embarrassed by the eclectic and predictable mix of stories I like most, but I like what I like. And right now, my one true love is right here. And she is awesome and gorgeous and as gay for badass Rogan things as I am. Thank you.

~Mia

Author's Response: \"You gorgeous bit of awesome! I love how you twist everything around.\"\r\n\r\nThat, right there, epitomizes what it is my goal to inspire in the brains of people reading what I\'ve written. Thank you muchly, as it\'s always good to hear when I\'ve achieved success.\r\n\r\nI do hope you\'ll enjoy the rest of my work. If you\'ve not read much slash before, I can only hope I\'ll corrupt you in much the same way as I was corrupted. I started out with no intent to write it, until I stumbled across a certain ship, with a certain pair of characters that, much like it was in the case of Rogue/Logan fic, caused me to stumble over it, do a double-take once I realized what I was looking at, and then think about it with a sense of intrugue and bemusement, after which I then got really really curious. I read first with morbid curiosity and a sense of snarky superiority, until I stumbled across the unexpected: truly good writing, and a fascinating play of character traits on either side of the relationship.\r\n\r\nHook. Line. Sinker. My plot-bunny-maker, formerly anchored here on this site, was thoroughly shanghaied.\r\n\r\nThus, I hope you like pirates, as I am apparently rather queer for them, too. Then again, my brain is androgynous and queer in a lot of ways by default, so perhaps this is not altogether surprising.

Whimper...sooooooooooooo, now I need more. A lot more. More than is actually reasonable to ask for. Like, enough to drown myself in for months at a time without surfacing. Thank you for the cherry. The clifffhanger has me biting my nails from curiosity about Rogue's influence in the speech. And that, for some odd reason, strikes me as funny. Thar Rogue, for all her antisocial behaviors and intense privacy to the point of not speaking all that much if given her druthers, has nitpicked what should be one of the most watched speaches in their nation. You make me smile. Thank you.

~Mia

Author's Response: I will most likely try to finish it... ~guilty look~ eeeeventually. Life and, admittedly, a little ship called Sparrington have long since dragged me away in their evil clutches. I still do like this story, and I remember how it ends, and how I was planning to get from this chapter, all the way to the ending, but I\'ve not since then been able to sink into it and sort of become one with the mindset of the story so that I might actually write it.\r\n\r\nI do love my super-snarky, antisocial hacker!Rogue, and her juxtaposition of traits so that she has great perspicacity when it comes to reading people and politics, but still tends toward the misanthropic. You\'re more than welcome.

With Rogue captured by The Brotherhood and Logan dead set on getting her back, the two struggle with their respective roles in the coming war between mutants and humanity.

Fourth in the Dark Side of the Moon series. Same premise, different consequences owing to a treatment facility for mutants called Southaven and a focus on the chemistry between Logan and Rogue.

I was late to pick up my daughter from school because I got caught up in the second part of things. Thank you for so completely transfixing and fascinating me.

It's ten years after the cure, and Rogue's fiance wants nothing to do with a woman who might have mutant children. Logan steps in to offer her a last chance at the life she always wanted.

I am putting you in my favorites and keeping you in a little box labeled: shiny happy things to be played with often. This is all kinds of awesomesauce. Your writing is so very entertaining that I easily became addicted to its laidback, light style. It is really nice to read a L/R fic that doesn't involve government, rape, runaways, starvation, bringing one or the other back from the dead, labs, or really really sickening amounts of feral sex. No...wait. I take back the last one. I just mean to say, that while I do enjoy stories like that. This one is a massive breath of fresh air.

Author's Response: Thanks! I think Kitty\'s power is the one with most serious prank potential. And yeh, the image of Remy\'s hand in Rogue\'s bra...what more perfect way to drive Logan bat-shit crazy?! LOL!

With Logan back in her life, Rogue evaluates what she's learned from their past in order to bring about a change for the better in their future.

Part three in the Law of Life series: “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” (John F. Kennedy) Rogue narrates this story about the changes her life undergoes as she matures from ages eighteen to twenty-two. The world’s view of the mutant community, the responsibilities she has to the X-Men, and the interactions she has with the people around her are all essential parts of the story. It is her evolving bond with Logan, however, that remains the focal point throughout.

This was truly enjoyable; spending the day in this universe. Thank you. It's hard to believe at times, the immense talent a teenager can have. Especially when it exceeds my own in this area.

Most awesome vacation ever! Your stories remind me of ones my mom would make up for us as kids. Yes, they were much tamer, but she told us wild stories of pirates and journeys in the wild and how we had to use out wits and intelligence and not let fear take over. It made us feel strong and united as a family. Thank you for reminding me of that. This was beautifully executed.

Just beautiful. Okay, maybe parts of it were intensely creepy and gory, but I wouldn't be a Logan fan if I didn't go for that sort of thing. This was one of the most original things I've ever read, fanfiction or no. It was scary and subtle and violent and masterful and so damn well crafted that I want to weep for having come to the end. You have a wonderful imagination. I hope you always foster this talent and maybe harness it into writing something truly unique in the ocean of published literture.

~Mia

Author's Response: You are too kind and I deeply appreciate your words of encouragement. I wrote one more L/M fic after this one that was about the same size in length. It was an AU, with Logan and Marie in medieval times. It is because of that fic that I stopped writing fanfic for the most part, simply because it was so AU it became original. I still write, but it is all original now. I\'m not sure I could ever write fanfic again, but this universe, Logan and Marie, will always be my favorite.
