Barely Legal Since 2000
P.S. If you couldn't tell, I love you.
Author's Response: Awww!!! The feeling's mutual!
I am beyond words. This was so heart felt and your ability to describe feelings and build scenes is just outstanding. If I can ever be half as good as you were in this chapter, I would be forever grateful.
Favorite line: But like always, like a reply to an unasked question or unspoken call, she didn't have to. Didn't have to know, didn't have to ask, didn't have to worry, didn't have to do anything but be there for him to be as well.
Though there are so many more that were amazing as well.
Author's Response: Your words made my day, made me absolutely ecstatic. There's no way I can thank you enough.
so excited for more, love the slow progression of rogan-ness!
Author's Response: Thank you!!!!!
Daaaayum, Rose! Your Jubie is a bitch!!!!!
"And I swear to god, if he calls me 'yellow' one more time I'm going to, like, file a complaint. Cuz that's, like, totally racist, you know?" YES! So glad you finally worked this in! I had forgotten it for a bit, then you toss it in when I'm not looking. Nice.
She's still a mega bitch. Wow. I was absolutely disgusted by her, what she said & what she did - which is a testament to how well you described all of that. Ugh. She left a bad taste in my mouth.
But that part you describe before Jubes & Pyro return from their "date" is so thorough, so detailed without bogging us down with words.
You are the Queen of Subtext (I'm really not just handing titles out these days, y'know). There is so, so, so much going on under the surface for them. In fact, just about all of it is internal conflict that you map out beautifully and delicately. You described how Logan could feel every inch of Marie, then later on you casually popped in -from Marie's POV - his choice of a thick sweater to show just what he did about that problem. Ugh, I love how you constructed that.
Poor Logan & his morning wood. Y'know, it's not nice to tease your Logies like that (side bar: no red squiggle line of condemnation for the word "Logie". wtf?).
That said, I appreciate the screaming, goopy, mishapen dedication. I appreciate it all the more since it's not real because newborns annoy me/ creep me out.
Author's Response: Haha. Didn't want to spoil the surprise in the Authors Notes--really glad you liked how the Yellow was used, know it was a little...*smaller* than you might have envisioned it would be. (Perhaps your JuJu will counteract mine?)....As usual, your review made me bounce and I am thankful for each and every word.
Glad you updated! :)
Author's Response: Glad you reviewed. :~D
Twin knees peeping shyly from the hem of his shirt--Logan had the strangest urge to see how they would fit in his hands.
and also this one:
He picked the quilt off the floor, tucked her back in and listened to her beg him to stop something he hadn't begun.
Author's Response: >happy dance<
Wow, this chapter is so great. I totally had missed the little hint of her mutation the first time I read it, and now reading it for the fifth or sixth time it seems so apparent. Two favorite lines here:
The cashier, a man who kept a loaded shotgun next to the emergency button beneath the counter and used it far more than the latter, seemed too relieved that Logan was not robbing him to protest.
and
He didn't know, at first, who Logan was talking about, and that would cost him. He said, "She was good, man.", and that would cost him more.
Author's Response: That anyone would consider something of mine worth rereading, one time let alone six, is enough to keep my head swollen and my feet walking on air for weeks. That someone of your skill would do so means I'll be tip-toeing through clouds for *months*. Thank you.
Oh goodness, this chapter breaks my heart every time. This line has stuck with me:
Logan could see the tag sticking out at him like an impudent tongue, it's brand too faded to read.
Author's Response: Is it sick to say I'm *glad* it broke your heart?
This one's hard, there's so much good description in this one, but I think this one still wins:
"Well," Logan said, in the same manner she was learning to expect from him: as if each word was a precious commodity and she was making him waste them.
Author's Response: >beams in silly, uncontrollably proud way< Thank you!!!
Okay, I have two for this one too:
But Logan was accustomed to others stuttering in his presence, and easily made the translation from Fear-Speak to English.
and
Upon his return, Logan took the girl's food and consumed it in three slow, childishly defiant bites. Fuck her.
Author's Response: >super mambo tight hug<
Oooh, this one is tough. I have to pick two. Because this is the best line I think in the whole story:
Just looking at him provided answers to questions before anybody asked them: No, you could not run fast enough; No, you did not have a chance.
But then you know I also love this, and in fact totally adapted/stole the idea for my story:
He noticed, but did not acknowledge the healthier rhythm of her internal organs.
Author's Response: You are awesome on a level scientists don't even have a way of measuring yet....That line might have inspired yours, but you made it brilliant and unique with a talent that is 100% yours.
This line just haunts me:
Underweight babies screeched and were shushed by mothers who were louder—who in their turn were sworn at by their husbands/boyfriends/kidnappers.
Author's Response: Yes, rather fond of that myself... ;~D
All right, inspired by someone who was awesome enough to review every chapter of my story today, I decided to embark on my long-planned project to review every chapter of this story. But, since every chapter is great and hearing that umpteen times might get boring, I'm going to tell you my favorite line from each. If I can restrict myself to one line, we'll see. For this chapter, its:
It had eight deadbolts and two chains on the opposite side that he never once turned during his stay. Let 'em try.
Author's Response: Yes, those kind of surprises are the best, aren't they? Thank you for giving me this one, the best of all possible gifts (except, perhaps, for Hugh Jackman-but this is closest you can get to his level of awesomeness). Thank you. At time I received your reviews I was entertaining a mammoth headache, and all I can say is that you are better than any Tylenol.
I really enjoyd this chapter. It's nice to see them taking he next few steps in their relationship. Although the realization tha she's only 16 was a little it of a let down. *le sigh* But I"m excited for more. My favorite part as the bookstore. The most awkard part was the period. LOL
Author's Response: Thank you!!!! This made for a great birthday present. And don't worry, I'll get her to legal as fast as I can. ;~)
I want a cake on a naked Hugh, so I can have my cake and eat him up too. I promise to blow out the candle after I lick off the icing.
Hehe!
Can I drown Jean for being so cruel to my girl and not letting her stay with me?
Naughty Linda and frustrated Wolvie Muse.
Mrs. Grey? When did she get married? Shouldn't it be Ms. Grey, or even Mrs. Summers?
Could be excuse... excused.
Wondering it? Maybe wondering if...
Didn't w agree? Didn't we agree.
Love the hippie asshole darlin'. Figures pansy Scooter would pick up a hippie asshole like that kid.
And still no Hugh link!
Linda and a smug Wolvie Muse.
Author's Response: Hope you don't mind me answering these as a whole? Thank you so much, I owe you. As soon as I hit submit for this I'll be coming through the chapters, trying to find those lines. Drives me crazy that they've been there that long. I hope you have a wonderful day(or night, as you seem to have the sleep cycle of a bat). Thank you again for taking the time to read, review, and help me correct those typos.
Hehe, I have a lucky white tank top I wear, like Logan's white one. It helps me get into his mind.
I still have to order my dogtags though.
Linda.
Found an oops... Sweetheart not sweatheart.
And its Prius not Preiss. LOL.
Tongue not tounge.
I'm listening to Hugh singing Everything Old Is New Again as I read this chapter.
Haha, what fun at 4:20am!
GRRR... Gotta say I don't like bucket head bein' there but its your story. Just let me know when I can gut him. I'll be in the shadows waiting for your answer.
Linda and shadowy Wolvie Muse.
I'm about to have an aneurysm of my own since the link to the Hugh pic didn't work.
I must see it...
I am so in love with this chapter because I have spent my own fair share of time in Motel 6's. I wanna stay at the one you described. Mine never had a fridge and you had to pay for snacks.
Very well done.
Linda.
Author's Response: If you email me, I'll send it to you. Thank you!!!
Found a possible oops...
Providing a enemy... Should it be providing an enemy?
Ignore it if I read it wrong.
Other than that, what a wonderfully visual chapter.
I loved the rainbow comment near the end.
And I'm glad long story won out. Regardless, I still would have followed the story.
Yeay, I get to go home. I've missed pissing off Scooter.
Linda and my Wolvie Muse.
Hey, if the writing is good I vote for a long story.
And its great writing so far...
As for disturbing material, I am disturbing or I wouldn't adore watching Robot Chicken.
So your forgiven. LOL.
I did like the chapter. I wondered why he didn't use the 'eyebrow' on her instead of the 'voice'.
But that's just my silly opinion at 3am.
Yeah, I got to kill somethin'! Woo Hoo! I need a refill.
Linda and Wolvie Muse.
Author's Response: (Robot Chicken is great). Thank you uber much, I'm glad you think so.
Here's what I found...was probably rope, in her eyes.
Shouldn't this be rape?
I thought I saw at least two more oopsies but, I couldn't spot them as I skimmed.
I promise I can go back an do an indepth study once I get through to chapter 18, unless you add more chapters. Hint, hint.
LOL.
Off to read and review more.
Linda.
Author's Response: Okay, no. That one was actually correct.
LOL. Sorry. Maybe we should get together sometime and mine could whip yours into shape. LOL.
I demand total loyalty from my muses and they would follow my plot demon bunnies to hell and back because they trust I'll bring em back to good.
Its either that or its for the free beer and cable. They sure do hang around me a lot.
Sometimes they keep me up late makin' bunnies because they just have to get something out and I have fingers to write it for them.
Linda.
Author's Response: That sounds like a plan. I've never known anyone capable of controlling their muses before--it's very impressive.....I went through and deleted the reviews that, although hilarious and great, didn't really have much to do with the story. Please forgive me. I just do not want my review count going up if I haven't earned it. It's not fair to anyone else.
I'll go back and reread it tonight then.
I understand your pain. I'm a perfectionist too but I suck at grammar.
Linda.
See, she mentioned Hooters again...
Oh Wolvie, cut it out. Go dive into my plot bunny folder and find something to do in there while I review.
Oh... THAT folder.:)
Yah know this chapter was more interesting to me. While I read it I was listening to Riders On The Storm by The Doors and then right after Here Comes The Sun by George Harrison and it made the chapter more interesting to me, no matter how long or short the chapter was.
Try it... You might like it.
Linda and Wolvie signing off. Ugh. 5:20am.
.:)
Author's Response: That so? Huh. I'll try them out.
