I’m English, married with 2 pretty much grown up kids, am still 18 in mind if not in body so there’s a bit of a conflict there!


Never read the comics but from the first time I saw the films something about these two characters got to me like no others, so a long time ago I found my way here [lurked in the shadows for a few years before joining] and have stayed ever since. Loved it then and love it still and with new great authors joining all the time, can’t see me going anywhere any time soon!

I mentioned about new great authors joining all the time – well someone has to balance things up - I’m definitely not in the great author category, more in the ‘I had a go’ one, but if there wasn’t any of the not so great fics we wouldn’t appreciate the good ones so much! So I am in fact helping the appreciation of the great authors if nothing else!

Am longing for someone to write a fic where I actually like Jean, I'm only interested in L/M but If Joanne can get me hooked on stories that contain Logan and Beast there must be someone that can get me over my irrational hatred of a certain red headed fictional character!

So many fics never get completed, quite a few take years! I would rather wait until the finished box is checked. For these and a lot of other reasons I hate chapter reading, although I have been persuaded lately to give it a go and I seem to do ok as long as a fic is updated regularly but I still tend to keep that for the few I trust to do that. If it takes months between updates with the amount I read I would have to start over each time to catch up! Taking that into account reviews from me are usually only one per fic no matter its length but if I have enjoyed something I do like to let people know my thoughts.

you did such a good job with this - wonderfully written, full of emotion with lovely dialogue and the perfect ending for the story. well done x

retired featured story Logan accidentally sees Rogue doing something he probably shouldn't have seen - Frothy, foofy, smutty fluff.

"You remember that milk carton I gave you this morning?" "Let's call that foreplay." - priceless!!!! You can't help but feel sorry for Logan all the way through this - great job well done x

It's always the truth according to Logan, but Rogues don't play by the rules and, after three years, they have some things she thinks they need to sort out.

'I'm so tired' - such a simple little statement but within this fic it has so much depth to it. I really enjoyed this well done x

Nothing wrong with a little bit of sin now and then. It's what keeps things interesting.

I like their not so perfect relationship as described in both this and it's companion Lose All the Battles It made the story more 'real'. A different take on the 'getting together' story line and a great read. well done x

“I'm glad you decided to play.”....... oh just the thought of playing with logan!!!!!!!!!!!

this being the 2nd of 3 storys no-one seems to have bothered to review but i bet they all enjoyed! so i am making sure that it's written in black and white.... Great installment, loved it well done


Author's Response: The second installment appreciates the attention. ;-)

I said I wasn't going to do it, but then I did it anyway. I should be ashamed of myself.

I'm just gonna say ditto to what ct xfan's review said cause i couldn't put it any better. It said everything i wanted to say. This one was at the end of your list and i've been re-reading them all only this time making sure to review any i've missed - my only dissapointment is having to wait (impatiently i might add) for your new fics!

I don't know quite what to say about this one. It was supposed to be one short, angsty story, and then it evolved. The first two parts are stand-alone and honestly I think it should have stopped there, but...well, here it is.

Speechless -not something that happens to me very often!
This fic was absolutely wonderful – It is by far the most heartbreaking and moving I’ve read.

Author's Response: I am going to have to argue with you about being speechless. *g* Thank you for all the wonderful feedback and for working your way through the catalogue! I\'m very flattered (and impressed by your dedication!).

read your A/N and quite frankly if this is what happens to your angsty plots when you have a few glasses of wine, I'll buy you a few bottles so you can keep that so called 'evil smut monster' around to kill off the angst bunnies!

Again with the visuals, why do you have to be so good at it? - Logans fingers on bits of the Hoff?? these are things that are damn funny but they tend to linger in the back of your head when they really need to dissapear!

great fun!

When Logan thinks no one is looking...heh heh heh. Rogue and a few others stumble across an interesting sight when passing the garage.
