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.

Love that this is about how Rogue feels yet all through your drawn to the little hints that clue you in on Logan feelings too - wonderfully written piece x

Logan mocks Scott's leather slippers. Big mistake. BIG.

'Scott had one of his fallen leather slippers in hand, and was using it in a futile attempt to beat Logan round the ass.

Could you blame me? I started to giggle.'

I joined her and couldn't seem to stop even after I'd finished reading it.

A truce of sorts.

There are so many great storys on wrfa that have no reviews and i can't understand why so i'm making it my mission to put that right!
- this was a fantastic piece of writing and i loved it, and i'm sure many other people have to they just forgot to say so.

Author's Response: Awww, thank you!\r\n\r\nI probably don\'t have many reviews because I wrote most of these 6-7 years ago! That\'s why it\'s always so nice to see that people still enjoy them. :D

This whole fic right from the start in 'On Tuesdays' was written beautifully with so much emotion. I loved the explantions of the individal ride that took them from Tuesday to Tuesday and finaly led them to Wednesday.

Who ever said love had to work all the time.

Beautifully done! - I like stories where Logan is the one who falls apart, although very few writers seem to be able to do it well! There's so much Logan the big bad ass hero (which is great!) but it's nice to see another side to him every now and again. One of my all time fav songs too and i dont as a rule like fics attached to songs in any way shape or form but in this case they went together so well. Have been re-reading my fav fics which were read before i was a member so am now trying to make up by reviewing (even if a bit late!!) - Great little fic. Well done x

Logan takes the time to think on his and Rogue’s latest mission.

from the title i thought i wasn't going to like this one but its nice to be proved wrong! how i love a happy ending.
nice story, very clever well done.

Author's Response: Well, this was September\'s challenge (I\'m a sucker for her challenges) and there was no way I was letting her get away from him!

Logan's healing usually kicks in when injury he sustains is
life threatening. What if it wasn't an injury per say, and not even
life threatening?

When Logan comes back from his search, he arrives with a woman. Unfortunately for Scott - who can’t keep his mouth shut - said woman isn’t afraid of a little challenge, or of humiliating the fearless leader. Especially when his comments hurts Rogue!

Loved the deeper look into Rogue conquering her mutation - usually it's just 'she did it' It made a nice change to actually find out how! Loved Glacier and would love to read more with her in it especially if it means putting Jean in her place (really enjoyed that!!) well done x

From 'wondering-penis' in part one to 'Bareback-rider' in part two, you had my sides aching from laughter with both of these fics - great dialogue.

Is it really spying to watch someone without them knowing it? Um, it is? Hmm.

I'm really too old to say things like ROTFLMAO [got it on a text years ago and had to ask my kids what it meant!!] but seeing as i did it, I hereby make an exception and say it.

Unique, very well written and extreemly funny.

"I stayed to keep you safe"

This line stood out for me, it's used a lot but with an evil, controlling, conniving Xavier it has so much more meaning to it.
