I'm a Canadian, a red head (and stubborn!), a huge nerd, a former mall-rat and relapsed internet addict. I'm married and have two kids (both boys). I'm currently studying criminology which, to put it simply, is a combination of law studies, sociology and psychology.

I love reading - and it is rare to see me without a book or my laptop when I'm not with the kids. If I'm not working, reading, writing or drawing or at school - I'm at a friend's house playing D&D. Haha!

Be forewarned that my longer stories don't usually make it to completion.

Bahaha. As always, I loved it. Lust-crazy Logan is just so good.

*heart*
As always, I had to read this in one go. I PROMISED myself I would spend tonight studying for midterms tomorrow, then it turned into a quick read beforehand, and now... well. :)
Beautifully done. I could never handle writing a story that takes so much patience to develop the relationship between the two characters. I'm so horrible for instant-gratification! Haha. I can't wait to read your other stories now, too. But for now, have a great night!

Author's Response: I\'ve got an awesome new hair cut, chinese food, and a Hugh Jackman movie on tv. Thought life couldn\'t get any sweeter-till I saw this. Thanks for being the cherry+the whip cream that-I-dont-really-need-but-am-gonna-take-anyway-cuz-its-virtual-sugar. >hugs< So glad you like it.

retired featured story In which everything comes full circle. Part angst, part happiness, and a coin-toss decides the end.

So. Good. hahaha.

Author's Response: Thank you. I\'m fairly fond of that myself. ;~D

So, I started reading this sometime last night. Picked it up again this afternoon - I had an hour before I had to get to class. The next time I tear my eyes away from the screen, class had started 15 minutes ago. I had to force myself away from the computer, get dressed, and walk through the coldcoldcold!!
... and then I finished reading it in class instead of listening to my last lecture before exams. heh...
I'm rambling now. Such a good story, but so sad. I'm curious what the other ending was, but I'm completely satisfied with the one you wrote.
Also, I had the nagging suspicion from the second chapter (or so) that the reason Marie was pulling away from him so much was because he kept using the word 'baby'. I don't know if that was the case or not, but every time he called her that I winced.
...That's all I think I had to say. I think.
Good story!

Author's Response: Wow. That\'s an amazing compliment. Sorry about making you late, but the fact that it did makes me bounce a little...or a lot. Thank you.

I just stumbled upon this tonight, and read it all in one go. I can't wait for more!
Great story, I really really want to know what happens next

Author's Response: Thank you, I\'m so glad you feel that way. >hugs tightly<

Oh my god you can't leave it at this! This is tortureeeeee.
I haven't been lurking, I promise. I let a few chapters build up so I could get a good dose of Rogan-y goodness. Mmmm. Can't wait for more. :D
Also, either I'm blind, or that image link didn't work again. :

Author's Response: Don\'t worry, I think (hope) everybody will be satisfied by the time this ends. And judging from the surprising length of certain scenes, its now looking like two or three chapters. :-) Thank you uber much; I\'m happy that you like it....and you\'re not blind, I just can\'t get the link right. :-(

Wow! I couldn't imagine doing all that work to get to a computer to write like you did - that's dedication. Thank you!
I don't want this to come to an end, please don't let it end! pleasepleaseplease.
Also, I'm a little slow, but I can't quite catch what the book part with Erik was about. =(
Though, as others have also mentioned, "It was hard to tell which of the two girls better handled their loneliness." That line? Killer. It really made Jubilee sound less like a jerk, and more like someone that needs a hug too.

Awesome writing, as always. *heart*

Author's Response: I\'d worried that some people would be confused. Sorry! It\'s my fault making it clear enough. He dropped the book to startle Marie, try to activate her mutation. Thank you!!!! >hugs<

I'm curious about this skin scrub. Is there much to putting it together, or just a matter of mixing until the consistency is right? :)

Also, you don't have to ask, I'll always review. :D I've been checking back every day (sometimes a few times a day) even though I'm so busy studying! Thank you for making my last study night happier. *glomp* :D
Merry Christmas (or, Happy Holidays if you prefer) and thank you for the chapter! I'm super curious how it will end.

Author's Response: Oh, no. It\'s the simplest thing in the world. Just get a cup of sugar, add half as much vegetable oil as your sugar and stir until it has a nice consistency,and add whatever other ingredients are available. You\'re skin has never felt so smooth--its terrific. :~D And so is this review; its what I\'ll be reading any time the writer\'s block hits. Thank you!!!!!!

Childishness aside, I'm glad to see another chapter up, and to hear that this still has a bit more to go. Poor, poor Logan. *hug* I'm sorry this is becoming painful for you. Hang in there, please? We love you!

Author's Response: Fixed it! Dang homophones! Thank you so much. >hugs<

I know, I know! I'm so far behind in reading this. But I promise, it wasn't because I forgot. I had no computer! But alas! Now I'm yelling! Ah!
I really, really love how you ended it. Half (ok, probably more than half) of me really reeaalllyyy wanted them to end up "together" at the end. But the rest knew that would be rushing it. You managed to come up with an excellent mid-way point.

Of course, as always, I must praise your word use. It's like poetry, it's just so beautiful. I can't even list off all the lines that just ... radiated awesomeness. I can't even describe it.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Reading your stories is a great pleasure, and I'm always looking forward to something new from you -- and will definitely return to your finished works again and again.

*heart*

Rogue's life has become pretty complicated after Alkali Lake. Logan's gone, Christmas is coming, and her relationship with her friends consists mostly of notes left in strange and unlikely places. Ororo gets the brilliant idea to teach the kids the Joy of the Envelope, and now a total stranger knows more about her than anyone else. Told through letters, emails, and notes from Secret Societies, like in Feeling Sorry For Celia

Interesting format. At first, the 'from so-and-so association' was confusing me, but then I took it as you suggested - like it was her imagination - and it was easier to read.
I'm glad you finally posted, and I look forward to reading more, especially with whats going on with John... :)

Author's Response: The first time I read the original book, I was SO confused. But the more I read the more I thought it was brilliant. Thanks for reviewing, and more chapters will be up soon! :)

Inspired by a line often seen around here "I suck at summaries". How would Logan and Marie summarise their life and the birth of their relationship. Please note increased rating / Revised Epilogue end of Chapter 3!

I quite liked this story, it was cute. :) There were a few things, I think, that could have made it even better though (however, I know I probably would have done them the way you did if I was writing).
I think for Logan's POV it would have been nicer to maybe have different memories, you know? And you did do that a little, but I think it would have been even better with a little new scene thrown in here or there to top it off.
The last chapter was good, especially for a first try, and I know I'd never be able to pull it off! But, I'm not sure, it still kinda felt like something was missing. Maybe the last line could be polished up to be similar in mood to the intro of the story. (Does that make sense?) Like, it was a first-person talking about how if their story was a book etc etc. Maybe referencing the life as a book idea in the end would make it feel like it fit. :)
However, all in all, I did like the story! I loved the 'I suck at summaries' thing. Good job!

Author's Response: Thank you for your comments, and I am glad you liked it. I have revised the \'Epilogue\' at the end of chapter 3 to a more first person view, and added another sentence onto the story. Let me know what you think, does that make it flow better?

Definitely love the ending now, it fits much better. :D

"It is harder to love than to find someone to love."

...The path of the Xmen has become much darker in recent years. Rogue finds her way to the mansion one night and meets our favorite surly Canadian--but has she been there before? And what exactly do they want with her?
