Might be a prequel? MIGHT? Lady, ample good material here, listen tell ur muse I gotta gun and good aim! Maybe that will spook him into being "inspired"

Seriously though, all joking aside that is just my warped sense of humor threating your muse, not you in a haha kinda way not a "boom boom" kinda way- sometimes you have to clarify with gun jokes.

Anyway, yea definitely continue it because I'd love to read more. thanx!

Author's Response: Believe me, I have threatened and bribed him. Nothing works. In the past he was the regular blabbermouth, but now... He likes to take his sweet time with these things.

Rogue and Wolverine become closer, and not in a way he expected.

Listen, no offense, but this is kinda retarded, i mean its a good story, it would have to be to get me to read all 20 chapters.

But Lady, c'mon here! You have 32,000 words and none of them are Rogue and Logan actually in a relationship outside the realm of friendship. What are you waiting for? An invitation from the world of fan fiction to romantically introduce them? I don't think I can read another 30,000 words of this story, so consider this the invitation and get em together already!

Christ

Author's Response: Not to fear, the NC-17 rating will be justified shortly!\r\n\r\nWhat can I say, I\'m a fan of extended foreplay.

Date: 03/23/2009 Title: Chapter 21: An Explanation

I lied. This story isn't retarded it's fantastical. Not just fantastic- but fantastical- the next level up!

Oh and I'm sorry about what I said about it being too shipper before, because I have to say my favorite part of this chapter was them in the parking lot when they're talking about who hit who where and whose blood belonged too who, that was shipper but in a great way.

This story is awesome and it was worth the wait, I mean hey thank god they finally got together and all but lol it was and is a really good story. can't wait for more!!!

Author's Response: No worries manda-dee. I needed the nudge to move this stuff into the hot and horny arena! Next chapter, hope you like it rough ha ha! \r\n\r\nI have to admit that for some reason writing explicit stuff make me feel embarassed, even though there\'s no one here but me, which is why it\'s taken me 20+ chapter to get them to it! But they neeeeed to get it on so bad I\'m practically hurting over here. So I\'m working on the mucho overdue sex scene now and will post it tonight or tomorrow.\r\n\r\nMaybe I should practice my erotic writing and do some PWP for practice, loosen up the old smut muscles so to speak LOL!

Oh and yeah car trouble? That chapter was fucking hysterical, I have to actually curse to sincerely portray my affection for it, oh my god I was on the floor dying. I re-read it just to laugh

Author's Response: Thank you, I had a great time writing it. Wolverine is definitely an easy man to pull imaginative scenarios of torture from. The toilet..oh the toilet!

It's ten years after the cure, and Rogue's fiance wants nothing to do with a woman who might have mutant children. Logan steps in to offer her a last chance at the life she always wanted.

Haha I liked this, it was cute.

Now go update your other story before I have to kick your ass! (I'm not joking I'll take you down)

At the very least I'll extract a painful revenge on you...although I doubt fabreze is going to affect you as much.... ;)

Author's Response: i know, i know, i am bad with the update for the chapter you have been dying for. work is the worst this week, worst it will be all year, so it may not be until sunday before i update with the newest chapter. don\'t hurt me! LOL!

Date: 03/30/2009 Title: Chapter 1: Not a Good Boyfriend

OH MY GOD!!! YEAH!!! I'm so happy you brought your stuff over from the old archive- I love this story!

I actually read it for the first time a million years ago when I first started reading rogue/logan fanfiction and then I rediscovered it, ironically enough, about a month ago.

never posted stories of my own until recently but since like 2003 I would read everything on the site and then come back to it every few months/years. And when I got back recently it was after the sites had been switched and even though a lot of my favorite authors were already here-ya know everyone who posted from 2003-I noticed a lot of good stories missing.


Lady you were missed!!! BUt i love this story and I'll cut this epic review short cause thats a lot of early morning babble

It’s funny how your life can change in the blink of an eye. One moment it can be everything you wanted it to be and then it can be a nightmare from hell. Tolerance...there is no tolerance!

My Place In This World

The word This should be capitalized...

Other than that, and other than the fact that the characters are all completely OOC this stories okay

Author's Response: ok, this=This, there ya go! As for the characters being OOC, well I\'m just writing them exactly how they should be in this story. That\'s why we call it an AU right? See, the good thing about writing fanfiction is...you can write whatever and however ya want. Thanks for taking the time to comment! :)

I love the idea of an independent Marie, someone who wasn't found by Logan but recruited by Magneto first-you really manage to balance her southern personality well with her angst and her personal trauma without making her sound emo/suicidal.

Running with the anti-emo sentiment I really love those few chapters in there where Logan is discovered as taking money from Xavier to hang out with Marie. It was a logical idea which you flourished with detail beautifully. You make it really easy to see the look on Logan's face and the pain that Marie feels you kinda feel too. I think it was realistic situation where he storms off because he hoped she'd figure out on her own the depths of his sincerity.

Now for the big enchilada, this current chapter. There have been many versions of the "Marie touched Logan and Logan gets his memories and madness ensures" scene. I would have to tip my hat to you in regards to this scene. Again, the detail was fantastic but what really made this chapter stand out as unique was the way you added Logan giving her a pep talk as she tried to make her way through the mingled memories. It was a refreshing touch to see an in depth struggle of her memories as well as Logan saying "you can do it just fight."

I can't wait to read the next chapter...oh and I love this title.

Author's Response: Wow! Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! I too love an independent Marie. In this story, it may seem that she is holding back a bit from the sassy southerner that she is, but it\'s on purpose. She\'s a ninteen yr. old girl who went from loving parents that ended up despising her, to being a part of the brotherhood, to now living in a home where no one really likes her. And on top of all of this, is a world that doesn\'t except her. Anyone who would go through that would be standoffish and not very confident. Don\'t worry, our girl will get there. The one thing I wanted to see in the movies, as much as I wanted to see Logan and Marie get together, is what it was like for Marie when she touched Logan. If she takes peoples memories and abilties then she had to have faced the Wolverine. Imagine having this killing machine in your head and yet having the man in there too. I wanted to show Logan and Wolverine seperate yet one in the same...LOL! It gets a little confusing when I try to explain, but I\'m so glad you liked what I did with it. And again thank you for pointing out the title, I totally missed that! LOL

Its 2:22 am and I re-read it just because I liked it that much

This was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! I loved every bit of it, I loved the conflict, the space she gets and the make-up part.

Love love love this story!!!

I like your Logan/Marie too

I really liked that part in the hotel room where she's sitting there and she tells him to stop saying her name and tell her how to make it better-I almost got goosebumps it painted such a clear picture.


Great job!!

Author's Response: Wow! That\'s such a compliment! I\'ve read your stuff, you know! Back before I decided to bite the bullet and sign up for an account, so I couldn\'t review, but it\'s quite a compliment coming from you! My characterization of Logan/Marie was my biggest worry (especially with the end bit, so that you liked the part in the motel is especially soothing to hear!)

In the span of two birthdays, Rogue has to cope with a significant changes in her mutation, Logan's departure from the Mansion, and the passing of the Mutant Registration Act.

Part two in the Law of Life series: “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” (John F. Kennedy) Rogue narrates this story about the changes her life undergoes as she matures from ages eighteen to twenty-two. The world’s view of the mutant community, the responsibilities she has to the X-Men, and the interactions she has with the people around her are all essential parts of the story. It is her evolving bond with Logan, however, that remains the focal point throughout.

I love you. I want to marry you and I'm not just a fanfiction digging hussy-like a gold digger only digging for stories not money- I have kidneys available for you if you ever need one. Seriously, just never stop writing!!!!

Author's Response: Hey thanks! Maybe I can sell your kidney to pay off some student loans? Or, you know, if you want to look into the marriage thing, Iowa\'s just a state over from me...(OMG IOWA IS MORE LIBERAL THAN CALIFORNIA, WTF? I\'m excited for the Midwest!) Either way, we\'ll talk ;D BTW, Squee-worthy reviews like this totally make me want to never stop writing!

With Logan back in her life, Rogue evaluates what she's learned from their past in order to bring about a change for the better in their future.

Sinatra-I Got The world On a String

Expert Choice- it was the song i never would of thought of and the song that made perfect sense for her to play


As I'm sure your aware I'm a fan of your earlier work but I'm a big fan of your current work too- like The Dark Side of the Moon.... hint hint....get going sparky!!!

Author's Response: Haha! No worries, I\'m on it! I\'m actually backtracking, though. Before finishing \"Great Gig in the Sky,\" I want to fill in that three-week gap between \"Money\" and \"Breathe\" with \"Any Color You Like\" (four chapters). Logan and Rogue. In a cabin. It demands to be written!

Logan and Rogue negotiate their new-found friendship and more while Rogue hides out at Logan's cabin.

Follow-up to "Money" and part two of the Dark Side of the Moon series. Same premise, different consequences owing to a treatment facility for mutants called Southaven and a focus on the chemistry between Logan and Rogue.
