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.

still a badass, still protective but now with a hint of dare I say 'cuteness' ;)

jumping back in time and telling what he went through to save his daughter was a great way to end.

If she was awake, I bet she thinks mum needs an awful lot of touching to heal up one little toe!

At least Logan tried - My hubby would have done the cardboard box bit first!

Great fun well done x

In responce to Deb's review - It's a father daughter thing, once their daughters hit a certain age and start dating they're all pretty much the same doesn't matter if the boys a prick or not, no-one is good enough! and in Logans case I totally agree!

Are you implying that I’m getting old?

love the way you can skip chunks of time yet keep the story flowing (it never feels like there's anything missing) It makes wonderful reading and keeps the story itself interesting. Very sad part yet you still had me giggling at the image of Logan on his hands and knees searching for bugs!

wasn't expecting that, didn't want it, thought the crying part was over, would love to say I hated it but i can't.

wonderful writing.

You do Logan so damn well..............
I think I better re-phrase that - You write Logan so damn well ;)

Rule number 1 - never piss off Wolverine! great to see Logan still just as protective as ever, nice touch at the end when he calls her kid.

Was it wrong to laugh at that point? I just had a great visual complete with gentle sound effect!

great way to point out the downside of a longer life. you really hit the emotion button with this one. stunning last line - great stuff!

we've taken a visit to the dark side!

you could really feel the frustration and their reasons for it both from Logans and Maries side and as for the climax to this fic [sorry, couldn't help the pun ;) ] I don't really see that he was having to *force* his way anywhere, seems she was quite happy!

There are some things you can’t escape.

This series has been a great walk through time, keeping us in suspense cause we never know how far on or what they'll be facing next.

Great little scene.

You did such a wonderful job with this fic - concept, pace, emotion both surface and underlying, and the depth to their relationship all spot on. I love that it's so far from your average romance but yet it is one none the less. Everything about the way you wrote this screams that it's more *real* and therfore made great reading. Well done x

You'll figure it out by the end.

There was so much in this little fic, so many great lines with a hell of a lot of depth that I wanted to pick out, so I did and then realised that repeating back nearly the whole story would not only be pointless as 1: You wrote it and therefore know very well what’s in it and 2: It would end up taking up the whole page! So I had to edit! but it‘s been a while since a fic hit me like this one and the following line was the main culprit:

‘Lust I knew, I was on more than friendly terms with. I never thought that love would come along and break us up.’

Beautiful, I loved it! Well done x
