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.

I really like this one, unlike so many stories that when you first start them you just kind of know the start, middle and the end immediately, This one had me wondering where it was going right up until you had it all come together in style at the end. Great concept on the mix that is Logan/Wolverine and the whole story in general. well done x

love the way you managed to show not only the phisical but emotional pain too and the way you showed the differences in it's effect for all, not just Marie. Many have tried this sort of senario but few can make it seem real and still hold on to the essence of the characters and make it beleivable. You did! damn good job.

fantastic series x

Rogue's got a secret - that doesn't want to stay a secret any longer.

story of the moment when I logged in today - loved it the first time I read it and I love it still! The flirtatiousness (is that even a word?), the softer side of Logan mixed in with the more rougher side we all know and love, wonderfully written scenes, Bobby the prick (no change there!) Perfect reading although I feel a bit old at the thought of eight times! don't know if I've got the energy these days!! Fiction - what a wonderful thing! As usual a great story, well done x

Its Saturday and once again Rogue's left behind, until Logan makes a decision and Rogue gets a chance to have what she's always wanted

damn, there was the dancing and the flirting and the teasing and we had the romance, and not to mention the sleeping/not sleeping, then the oh so good gloating and then it was all wrapped up with the love thing.

perfect shippery goodness.

[gotta love Charles in this too! - great conversation at the end]

Rogue's dead, and Logan can't let go. The harder he clings, the deeper he slides into the darkness that he was, until he's given a gift. A chance to change history - but is it what he really wants?

'They took everything the trust, the warmth, the light from him when they killed her'

I loved the way you described Logan's grief at the beginning of this fic his emptiness/despair, how he spoke to her, and in the end how his unwillingness to let her go was what got her back.

well done x

The X-team play a little truth or dare - with some rather startlin' results.
Notes: I don't recommend doing half the things in this story - any injuries resulting from doing so are your own! Thanks to my muse for the help on most of the stuff in here.

Another great little story with no reviews - there are so many on wrfa and it seems so unfair to you writers so i fully intend to put that right.
I loved this - Logan needing a gentle push with actions before the words will sink in (bit like men in general really!)
Well done great fic.

I have found that companion pieces don't always work and can end up as just a drawn out repeat of the first story - you, however have done a lovely job with this and they have turned out great as a pair or on thier own
but.....
recently we have found out that you can write some fantastic smut so a third little reunion piece ??!! i'm dam sure that bike ride on the way home could be interesting!!!!!!!!!!!

This if fiction (i know this, yet it didn't help!) and as such should not make you cry, especially when a big bundle of 4 month old fur is wagging it's tail at you as you read, trouble is as your reading your remembering the 10 year old bundle of fur that was here before him.

Loved it. Hate that you did it so well.

Sometimes we have to do the things we don't want to even if it means breaking a heart...
