The Wolverine & Rogue Fanfiction Archive
Barely Legal Since 2000
I LOVE this story so much. I really do! :) I especially love Rogue's interactions with Logan, and also, the various associations that write to her. Keep up the great work!
Wow.
A lot has happened! That was quite a ride - from meeting Keltie and her dad, to the pool and almost dying, and then Ororo getting angry...WHEW!
What a great job, you are really good, especially considering how you are getting this story across through the use of letters. Now I can hardly wait for Rogue's reaction to all of this! :)
Whoop! I was ecstatic to see that you'd updated; I love this story. It's great that Keltie and Rogue finally get to meet, and I was on the edge of my seat reading about the pool incident. I don't suppose there's a future for John and Keltie?? Loved how she and her sister saved the day. Well, I should get back to work. Sigh. Congratulations on graduating and the fancy new grownup job! But remember, don't let that keep you from the important things: updating this story!!! :)
Honeestly.... The worst part about this story is...
The fact that it stops. It's very well written - enough so that I'm almost angry at you for not writing just one more chapter! And then another.... and another....
You get the point. :P I really enjoyed it. But now i suppose i'll have to go back to what I was meant to be doing before i got hooked...
Please save me quickly! :D
Stars from me too.
So many things I like about this story - the Japanese speaking? BRILLIANT. Following the example of not looking in Logan's eyes? DOUBLE BRILLIANT. I just love your story!! :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I love knowing what's working, so this was really helpful. I'm so glad you like it! :)
I'm so humiliated right now that it actually painful to write out what happened, but I'm going to, if only so that the next time I consider putting bourbon (or vodka, or rum) to my lips, you can shake this in front of my face and remind me that bourbon (or vodka, or rum) is the DEVIL'S BEVERAGE.
I LOL'd. ;)
My love for this story just keeps growing. You have, as Jaq said, so nailed teenaged angst. (Aaaand there's a "nailed" joke in there but it's just not coming Oh, well.) How on earth are you going to get our heroine out of her fix?? Inquiring minds want to know!
Author's Response: That is so wonderful to hear! I have my plan to get her out, and hopefully it doesn't come off as totally ridiculous, but we will see! Thanks so much for reviewing!
And stars, you deserve them.
My heart is just aching for her right now. Poor wee baby. I think one of the things I am loving most about this story generally is how you have nailed that teenage angst; the need to do something, to take that risk, the crippling sense of inertia and things being beyond your control ... it's very insightful. Now hurry up and come up with a cure for the Legacy virus :D
Author's Response: That is a wonderful compliment and exactly what I was aiming for. If you get the chance to read anything by Jaclyn Moriarty, she is the one that has the angst down--every time I read one of her books I wonder if she went back in time and read my mind while I was a teen. Thanks so much for this review, it really made my day :)
Yes, I enjoyed this chapter very much. Another reader has already commented on the wonderful introspection from Rogue. Epistolary (letter) stories really lend themselves to that. I'm looking forward very much to the next installment.
Ali, this is good, good stuff! There's an authenticity here that makes me really care about the characters, and the ways that they interact, understand and misunderstand each other avoids ever feeling contrived. Keep up the good writing and the posting!
Well.
First off, the introspection was phenomenal. Really. One of the best inner dialogues that I have ever come across for Marie. It read so easily, with superb flow, I was completely pulled into your story. And, at risk of sounding repetitive, I think your story ranks right up with the best of them. I am so happy that this chapter has paved the way for more because I cannot WAIT to read what happens in that bar!
Good throw in about Quebec!!!! :)
Hehe, this was magical:
>>They exchanged some words and Bobby said some things about John's mom and implied that I was a slut (only because it was Bobby, it was a lot more along the lines of "You are a moderately promiscuous female, who on occasion stands on street corners.")
Fantastically written, as always. I don't know how you do it, but each of the characters in this chapter just jumped out at me, making me really care for them. This is such a wonderful story, and your wrting is superb. :)
Author's Response: Wow, that is such a compliment! Thank you. I know a care about them a lot but it is nice to see that they come out that way on the page. Thanks for reviewing!
Another great installment! What a lovely mix of light angst and irreverence, humor and wit! I have to say, I wish Keltie lived next door to me when I was in high school. What a crack-up :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much! That's basically what I was going for so it's nice to know it worked :) I try to make Keltie a mixture of the people I knew in high school and the people I wish I knew in high school. Thanks for reviewing!
I'm quite simply intrigued. I've said it before and I'll say it again: best. story. ever. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to read more! :D
Author's Response: Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me, as I've been working on this story since this side of forever. I hope you enjoy the rest!
This was a gorgeous chapter, so rife with emotion regarding the Holocaust. I can't believe there are people out there who think it never happened. How insane.
On a happier note, I ADORED this part:
Logan accompanied me into some shops in the market. He waited patiently when I insisted on going into one of the girlier shops and only slightly growled at the saleslady who suggested that maybe my 'father' would like to wait outside, after he almost knocked over a display of teacups.
"She didn't really think I was your father?" he asked when we were on our way back to meet John and Scott. I'd purchased a few souvenirs for Kitty and Jubilee. (You'll notice that your souvenir is included with this letter).
"Of course not," I shook my head, because I was pretty sure she'd thought he was my boyfriend, and clearly didn't approve. I didn't mind so much.
Best. Story. Ever. :)
Yaaay! Logan's back! :D
Also, loved this part:
Rogue
Perhabs id would be a good idea dnot to visid Logan undill you can breathe dnormally. He bight be slighdly disgusted if your dose bmelts righd off your face.
Sdiffelly,
Helpful suggestions at your service, Ltd
Keep up the awesome work! :D
I have just read this from beginning to end and I really like it, I am looking forward to the next chapter. You have a bunch of stuff going on here and I really want to see how all of this works out. I think John might be a spy and the virus is intentional and John is right about the Professor and I want some Logan kissage. :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm looking forward to posting the next chapter. This story has gone through a number of rewrites and so I'm hoping that I've managed to keep it consistent! Thanks for reviewing!
Coool. I really like this. :)
Okay, so I saw the update and thought, "huh, how did I miss this story?" So, I started reading... and couldn't stop! This is good stuff---good character development, interesting twist with the virus, nice mix of the 'normal' world with Keltie and Rogue's less standard experiences. Please keep the updates coming! Now, I really should be getting back to work...
Author's Response: Thanks! I posted the first ten chapters rather rapidly although they've been up at ff.net for a while, so I'm not surprised you missed it. I really try to balance Keltie and Rogue's world--there's nothing more annoying than OC's that take over the story, but in this case Keltie is really there so that I can tell Rogue's story. rnrnGood luck with your work...I should probably get back to that too...:)
This is a fabulous read. It takes a lot of skill to build a story on purely second-hand accounts - you've done so well that we can actually see the action and envision it, even simply through Rogue's words? The events are taking a turn for the interesting, too ... the virus, John, and Logan coming home. Logan needs to step up his game if he wants Rogue, though ... you've actually got me thinking Ryro might work, right now!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Some scenes are definetly harder than others and I cop out sometimes with longer letters, but over all I like the challenge of telling the story this way. rnrnAnd gah..the Ryro! Several people have told me that, and while I like the interaction that they have in the story (it sort of took on a mind of its own) I'm a very much a Rogan shipper and probably always will be. :)rnrnThanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the rest!
Hurrah, you're back! I'm very curious to see where you take this. It's a lot of fun. :)
Author's Response: Thanks! Fun was what I was aiming for! :)
I really like this - the whole flow of it - the different tones from the different "societies". Very subtle too. I hope you continue with this story, I remember it a while back and seeing it updated was a really nice surprise. Your writing style is very easy flowing and emotive without excessive wording - well done and ***holding out bowl*** more please! :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much :) I got too distracted with school this semester so updating took a bit of a break. I also wanted to make sure I had enough chapters stored up so I didn't go long stretches again without updating. More will be coming soon! :)
Getting better with each chapter. Nice. And Logan is back!!!!!!
