i'm curious to see how jean and logan respond to each other. i hope he isn't all into her, actually it'd be kinda funny if she were obviously into him and him not so much into her. sorry, i have jean issues. great chapter, can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Hmmm...I'm not sure if Jean's going to make an appearance or not. I'll keep it in mind!

Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more, know what I mean?
Just masterfully brilliant, love. I absolutely need more of this. If there was a way to just inject it straight into my veins I'd be all over it. About that restraining order? Yeah, fair warning. You've seen Misery, right? 8/
~Mia
Author's Response: So glad you liked it. Next chapter (Logan vs. Scott) is almost done. And then the one after that -- well, that one you'll LOVE. ;-)

Feral smut? Oh but you spoil me so. Even feral smexy fightin's good for me. I am so in love with this thing that you may need to look into restraining orders. Really.
~Mia
Author's Response: Given that I'm refreshing the page to watch your reviews come up as you post them, we may need mutual restraining orders! ;-) Actually, it's funny -- with your prior review when you mentioned I had good taste in reading, I was like, "Um, how does she know what I read?" It took me a minute to realize you meant the stuff I had marked as my favorites on this site! ;-) Thanks so much for all your reviews. I'm guessing if you're liking feral smut, the next chapter will make you quite happy indeed.

Dun dun dammit!

Author's Response: Ha! I didn't mean to be evil...I actually just knew I wanted the next chapter to be called "The Escape" and I figured I had to set that up. :-D

Hooray for non-coherent Logan. There is MUCH perversi... rejoicing.

As far as "slow" chapters go, this one is phenomenal. I am quickly warming up to your fantastic taste in writing. You have good taste in reading and have used that, it seems, to sharpen your own skills into a really gripping story. I couldn't put this one down now if my chair caught fire. Thank you.
~Mia
Author's Response: Aw, you are awesome for reviewing the chapters as you go! I keep meaning to do that for some of my favorite stories, but any time I reread them I'm too anxious to get to the next chapter to stop and review! You're absolutely right, whenever I feel like my writing is starting to suck I go back and read some of my favorite authors to try to step up my game. I know I'm still leagues below them in terms of emotional resonance, but I'm trying!

Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: :-D I should be quick with the next few updates, since I more or less know what I want to write (and have a long weekend coming up!). Thanks so much for reviewing -- it's very motivating!

It was intriguing how you painted Xavier's vulnerability, his near-willingness to let it all end for himself. A nice piece of character exploration! Also the various reactions to Xavier's reading of Logan's mind were well executed.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't sure about shifting to Xavier's point of view all of a sudden since so far we've only seen the POV of Logan or Marie. Glad it worked.

Read these last two chapters at about six this morning, right before I had to leave for work. Jesusflippingpancakes, you're writing is brilliant. I love this. From the Sabertooth appearance to the smut to Logan's thoughts The Morning After. It's jaw-dropping. And personally, I think this story's pacing is wonderful. Nothing wrong. Far be it from "me" (note the quotation marks) to criticize because the plot is not going the way "I" (again, quotation marks) expected it to. Write what you like, it'll be terrific and fitting regardless.

Author's Response: So glad you're liking it! You're probably the only person I actually *would* change my plot for, so it's good to know that's not necessary. :-D

What a great Christmas present! Santa brought me a head cold so your much appreciated right now! I like how you have set up this chapter...Logan and Marie are going to have some issues to get through I'm sure ; )
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I'm hoping to keep them having issues but without relying on the cheesy "Three's Company" style "Oh, it's just a simple misunderstanding and if they only talked about it it would all get cleared up." Instead I'll just torture poor Rogue some. :-D

aw, logan's was so wonderful with her! and rogue's just awesome, i love the way you write her. i wicked curious to see how the xmen respond to logan as well as his relationship with rogue. great chapter, thanks for the update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I feel like Logan is getting harder to write and still keep him true to character, but there will be some very Logan-y chapters coming up, so we'll see if I can get back on track.

Well I can't work because I am disabled so I do have some 'creative' freedom to write as much as I want.
Oh I wish he would, but if they run out of iPads, I'll take a Wolverine wearing a Santa hat that I can unwrap and play with for X-Mas.
Linda.
Author's Response: :-) Hope you get your wish!

Its been frustrating for me living here in the middle of farm country without net or a computer. Thank god for my phone or I'd go crazy without the WRFA. I thought about writing the stories via Blackberry Storm but that's a headache I don't need. So I've been writing longhand and my chicken scratch sucks but I can read it.
But I've been saving up a huge folder of like 5O+ stories just waiting for hungry Rogan lovers.
So keep faith. At least I'm a fast typer. I don't hunt and peck on a keyboard.
Linda.
Author's Response: Eek. Hope Wolverine pops down your chimney in a Santa hat and leaves an iPad in your stocking... I sympathize. I can't loaf off at work, and I have a long train commute to entertain myself with a phone, but I only really get to the laptop late at night. I'm going to pick some weekend to review every chapter of every story that I've read...
Date: 12/22/2010 9:59:55 PM Title: The Prisoner
Already written. Its called Ignorance Isn't Bliss. Its in my story folder for posting once I buy my laptop next month.
Linda.
Author's Response: Tease! Maybe I'll have to dig up that old laptop I was threatening to send RoseSumner so she would update more frequently...

I think you are doing a great job with this story. It keeps me interested and flows well, without getting bogged down with too many unimportant details. I know as a writer constructive criticism is always necessary, but don't take what some of these other people say to heart...you're a terrific story teller with great direction and great vision.
I just want to say to the nit-pickers out there...come on this is fan fiction about movie characters who are mutants...lets suspend reality for just a moment and enjoy some fun and smutty goodness.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much for the support! Although I will admit my internet-feelings were hurt briefly, I recognize that there are good points in the negative reviews, and I definitely appreciate them. Anyone who cares enough about the story to click the review button is pretty awesome in my view, even if they just want to tell me I suck. But I will not turn down a positive review either! ;-) As for the nitpicks, I don't worry about those so much. Reading MRIs of the brain is well within my skill set, so I'm pretty confident I'm right about that one. They don't call me Dr. Girlfriend for nothing! ;-)

If anyone deserves a half naked Logan to cuddle up with, it would be you. (((long sigh))) More please.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review!

I'm giving the puss in boots big eyes here! (cant you just picture it!?) Please update soon?!
Author's Response: I'll try! Next chapter is dedicated to you, for sure! :-)

I have to agree with Capt_Mackenzie here. Logan's recovered his "pre-lab" self *really* quickly, and he seems to have formed entirely too much of an emotional attachment way too soon. This chapter and the last have dragged the story from the rescue and recovery of a lab-tortured Wolverine into a mundane, wham-bam action piece with some PWP thrown in. Nothing wrong with some good smut, but after the wonderful character set-up of the first several chapters, this just doesn't ring true and cheapens what you'd created before. With this chapter, I feel that the story has fallen off the tracks, and what was terrific has now become pedestrian.
Also, in writing dialog, you should begin a new paragraph for each character speaking. This makes the conversation clearer to read.
Sorry.... I wouldn't say this if your beginning chapters hadn't made me care so much. You are capable of so much better, but it's your story and your choices.
Author's Response: Yeah, it's hard to know how to respond -- if it's even possible to explain my thinking without sounding defensive. I had a very clear idea for the early chapters, and they turned out just how I wanted them, all the way through "The Beer" chapter. I realize there has been a shift and I am in fact less thrilled with the recent chapters, but here's how I think about it. At a certain point I needed Logan to recover. The scientific mechanism I developed for his recovery meant that he would recover completely and suddenly. At that point, there is nothing to keep him with Marie except a.) an external threat or b.) an emotional connection. I'm trying to balance the two, but if it's ending up as action / PWP / sap then that's probably how the rest of the story is going to feel. I'm glad (I guess) that people liked the beginning of the story enough to feel that I'm ruining it now, but unless I wanted Coherent!Logan to say, "Okay, nice meeting you, thanks for the brew, I'm off to go cage-fighting again!" I think this is where the story is going to go from here. Maybe I just wasn't creative enough to think of a reason for him to stick around and be all UST-y with Marie after his recovery, but that ship has sailed. Like I said, there will be some more shipper-y parts coming up, and if it helps in my mind a lot of the sappier things he said to her were under extreme circumstances and when she was not actually in a position to actually hear them and not necessarily things he would look her in the eye and tell her, but if people are waiting for a return to Feral!Logan that's probably not in the cards. I do appreciate all the reviews, both positive and negative, though! rnrnThanks for the tip about the dialogue/paragraphs. I read on my phone and lots of little paragraphs drive me up the wall, so I don't know if I'll adopt that style now, but I'll keep it in mind for future stories.

Does this mean I have to send you to
detention...Or should it be study hall?
You decide...

Author's Response: Mmmm...now that's a plot bunny if ever I heard one! ;-)

i love it. i mean you could have taken it so many different places but this one feels good to me.
can't wait til Logan gets his... in more ways than one. LOL
Author's Response: So glad you liked it!

And I have to disagree with a previous reviewer...I think you have maintained a fantastic pace with Logan and Marie's relationship development! Sometimes bonds are formed very quickly under extreme circumstances and shared experiences. Plus, readers love to get to the juicy stuff! Keep up the great work!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much for the encouragement. It really helped fix up my day! ;-) I'm pretty new to fanfic, and it's harder to put stuff "out there" than I had expected. It's pretty easy to start to doubt the direction in which you're going, and a few kind words at the right time can sure mean a lot. Thanks so much for reading, and especially for reviewing!
