Trawling through the site and I come upon this... it wins so hard. I can't stop laughing. Also, it's hot. Well done!
Dear God, this is sheer comic genius. You are made of win.
Hilarious and so very, very awesome. Ten stars!
Stunning, affecting, and effective. Amazingly well crafted.
I keep coming back to this story. It's beautiful.
After lurking on this site for weeks and weeks, I just now registered just to leave a review. This story moves me to tears every time I read it. Your writing is incredibly mature; I hope someday you will write for publication. Thank you.
I see, I see, I see what makes us. Yes.
Author's Response: Apologies for the late response to this lovely comment! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time and effort to register just to leave your kind review. I\'m so happy the story spoke to you, moved you.
I've been meaning to review this story. It's beautifully realized and deeply touching, to see Logan's pain from the inside like this. We see some of it in the films, but not so strongly, and really, anyway, I'm not sure it's possible to show a man in intolerable pain without having the entire film centered on the unbearable choice between affliction or deliverance... and that's not why most people go to see X-Men movies.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this extremely thoughtful comment. And YES, on the unbearable choice between affliction and deliverance. This is everything I think about Logan\'s character, in one perfect phrase. You are so right. And it\'s true, intolerable pain is not why people go to X-Men movies... and yet the world that those movies offer up is just full of it. Just saturated with it. In some ways, I think I\'m way more optimistic and hopeful than the movies!
yes, his fist could indeed move faster than Scott's hand to his visor, and that Jean possessed a shockingly vast vocabulary of obscenities.
This made me laugh hysterically. Well played!
What he wanted now, to hear her organs shift and gurgle and pump, to feel her move, breath, made all other pain that had ever touched his body or his mind nothing, as if they were erased from his body's memory to fit this new colossal agony. All previous desires were gifts, now offered to replace the rejection of this one.
Oh... just... wow. This is amazing. Really this entire story has been amazing. I'm sad it's nearly over; you're still planning an epilogue, right? (Which will feature Sahara's kittens and daffodils, no doubt.)
The not-actually-smut scene worked amazingly well, BTW. I just couldn't have seen her going through with it after the trauma she'd suffered.
Thank you so much for writing.
Author's Response: I am quite partial to kittens and various floral matter, but am currently on the fence about the epilogue. Please forgive me. This wonderful review made me bounce in my seat, dance on the way to get a glass of milk from the kitchen. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh, gosh, I hope your dad is doing better now!
Nice to read a new chapter on this one. I like how you're taking us through as Rogue solves the mystery. The interactions between Tony and Marie are great, too.
Well. That didn't turn out the way she expected it to, did it? Can't wait to find out what happened to Logan.
Oh, goodness, how have I never reviewed this before? I do love this story -- it's a beautiful code to "Overlap" and just rings so true.
Hurrah, you're back! I'm very curious to see where you take this. It's a lot of fun. :)
Author's Response: Thanks! Fun was what I was aiming for! :)
Yes, I enjoyed this chapter very much. Another reader has already commented on the wonderful introspection from Rogue. Epistolary (letter) stories really lend themselves to that. I'm looking forward very much to the next installment.
I'm so humiliated right now that it actually painful to write out what happened, but I'm going to, if only so that the next time I consider putting bourbon (or vodka, or rum) to my lips, you can shake this in front of my face and remind me that bourbon (or vodka, or rum) is the DEVIL'S BEVERAGE.
I LOL'd. ;)
My love for this story just keeps growing. You have, as Jaq said, so nailed teenaged angst. (Aaaand there's a "nailed" joke in there but it's just not coming Oh, well.) How on earth are you going to get our heroine out of her fix?? Inquiring minds want to know!
Author's Response: That is so wonderful to hear! I have my plan to get her out, and hopefully it doesn\'t come off as totally ridiculous, but we will see! Thanks so much for reviewing!
Rogue to the rescue! I'm really enjoying this story.
I noticed that in Rogue's goodbye letter to Keltie, items 1, 2, and 3 look like the first few words got cut off. Cut and paste error?
Author's Response: Thanks so much for pointing that out! Fixed now :) Glad you\'re enjoying the story!
O_O
No, really, that was my face when I read the last line. Holy cow! You're hardcore with the cliffhangers. I love it.
My only critique is that the letter from Logan doesn't quite sound like his speech pattern. But that's not a huge deal or anything. Thank you!
Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m hoping to get the next chapter up a little more quickly than this one. \r\n\r\nI completely understand what you mean about the letter. I think I must have written that letter about a dozen times and I\'ll probably keep writing it until I get it right. But thanks for the feedback, I\'m definitely going to keep working on it! If you have any suggestions, feel free to send them my way!
YAY! That is what I think. :)
I've really enjoyed taking this trip with you. Thanks for writing!
YAY! That is what I think. :)
I've really enjoyed taking this trip with you. Thanks for writing!
Oh, ouch. Seriously ouch. This is really good. You've done a great job of depicting Marie's struggle to control her life.
Author's Response: Poor Marie. Even without the voices she doesn\'t who she is/should/can be.
You continue to amaze and delight me with your writing. I absolutely love how you're weaving together all of the movies into a unified whole with real continuity, and it's clear that you put a lot of thought into your stories. Thank you for that.
Oh--I forgot to add that your command of characterization through dialogue is amazing. You get Kestrel's speech patterns perfect, for example.
Yay, you're back. No crickets here.
All I can say is Ouch. You're really twisting the knife in Marie's gut, aren't you? (That's not a complaint.) Sorry to hear you were cut off from the net for a while; I think I'd shrivel up in that situation. Hope to read more from you soon.
You're back! Yays! :D
Ooh, so I'm guessing Kurt, the fuzzy elf himself, has a space in her head, though I suppose it could also be Hank. Either way, good plot development in this chapter. Hope things go smoother for you from here on out.
Author's Response: Mmmmaaayyybbbeeeee. Or maybe not. Guess we\'ll have to wait and see. Thanks for reading!
!!!
Awesome.
Seriously, now I'm really fascinated to read the next chapter! My one piece of feedback would be a suggestion that you consider working on your "show, don't tell" techniques. But your ideas are very original and you do a pretty solid job with the characterizations. :)
Author's Response: Glad you\'re liking this. And thanks for your thoughts on my writing style. Could you explain the \"show, don\'t tell\" thing a little bit more for me than that? Maybe an example? I\'m having issues trying to figure it out on my own but that might be because I know exactly what is going with every person at every moment in the story so things may seem clear to me when they aren\'t to everyone else. Help please! I am always striving to be a better writer. Maybe email me? haniccol@gmail.com Thank you so much!
I'm really enjoying the character interactions here. Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: And thanks for reading, rating, & reviewing!
