Umm...Yeah...Great way to start a Saturday. Wow, you have a wonderful way with words.

askita- The lifting cars thing came from talking with a bunch of guys at work at that time. Guys that work in kitchens are vulgar at best and they sometimes brought up delicate male situations. One of them said the sure fire way to get rid of an erection was to try and lift a car...Got the blood pumping elsewhere.

Okay...Another reason not to read whilest you write is finding out your clever ideas are already cleverly used. I finished a section yesterday morning where Logan and Wolverine think/observe different aspects of the same scene. So, I was reding what you wrote in response to my review and thought what the hay I'll look up the fic that you mentioned and what to my wondering eyes appears...LOL...A Logan/Wolvie prospective. Oh well, I am back to read this fic. Great start so far...

Author's Response: Hello Sid, I am so glad you liked the beginning of this. Hope you enjoyed the rest. And I, too, have found out the hard way that great minds run in the same channels. The worst feeling is when I\'ve written something weeks or months before I\'ve finished and posted it, only to come upon a recent posting that totally steals the thunder from my story by using the same concept or plot device or whatever that I thought was so utterly unique to my perspective. When that happens, I comfort myself by hearkening back to something I read a long time ago. \"Originality lies not in saying what has never been said, but in saying what you have to say.\" Short of plagiarism -- a universal capital crime punishable by death if you ask me -- no two of us will ever see the same thing exactly the same way, nor express the same idea with the same words, so not to worry... But, true as that is, it doesn\'t take the initial sting out of that first read, does it? Again, thank you so much for letting me know you like this one. --Wendie

Got to read more and I loved it...Will rea more next week.

As to scene chasing...Well, I spend too long at work not able to get near a computer that isn't monitored...Could you imagine writing wolverine/Rogue fic and hving your boss come up and say, Um...Yeah...Hit the road...So, I spend a week building scenes in my head and think of things I want said or done. Then I sit down on Friday evening and spew it onto my laptop.

I would cry if I forgot some of the things I came up with...My stories are like my children.

Try going to bed thinking about the scene you worked out(keep a pad and pen beside ya and think about what you remember of the scene) and then if you are like me it will steep in your brain all night and then it'll reveal its self just before total consciousness. I have my best epiphanies at that point.

Then again mental insnity might be catching and my advice may be suspect. ;0)

P.S. Can you tell I love all-stops?

Author's Response: Thanks for reading. Thanks with naked Logan on top for loving it. I will absolutely take your advice with regard to scenes and how to hold onto them. I haven\'t tried writing stuff down before bed, but I\'ll give it a go. I have had more than a few morning revelations, however, but mine hit when I\'m in the shower. Many scenes, plot devices, bits of dialogue and character motivations have revealed themselves when I\'m lathering, rinsing and repeating. Good luck with your Friday \'spewing\'. --Wendie

This wins my vote for best first line of a fic ever....

.....She’s naked, facing the back of the big leather chair in his room at the mansion, her hair falling down her back in a cascade of warm brown waves accented with cool platinum streaks that bounce with every thrust of his hips as he pounds his throbbing cock into her hot core....

I actually read the line above and skipped right to reviewing it because that line slams you right into the fic and you get it in just a seconds worth of reading.

Okay, I am going to finish reading now.

Author's Response: Oh, glory! \'best first line of a fic ever\'? Can you say ECSTATIC?!? Thank you! I am very grateful that the opening got you off to such a fine start. Grateful, that is, followed closely by terrified that the rest of the story won\'t live up to this amazingly high expectation. I\'ll just be over here in the corner, biting my fingernails off waiting to find out which way that goes for you....maybe sweating a few bullets while I\'m at it...ho-hum... --Wendie

I don't know I think it must have been because my connection was slow or maybe in my overwrought state I pushed the submit button too hard. I actually deleted the second one, at least I thought I did nyway, but it seems you still got it. That being said I vote WRFA Gremlins.

Author's Response: Damn gremlins...!

Interesting...I look forward to finding out what this incarnation of our favorite characters become.

I am enjoying this and I can't wait to find out what Carol is up to with the team and Rogue. I just know she was a double agent...Awesome story premise. Thank you for sharing.

Author's Response: Hmmm, is she or isn\'t she? You\'ll just have to stay tuned to find out! *cackles* *chokes* *coughs* *sputters* Ahem. Thanks for reviewing!

Great addition and I love the way this played out. Humor and angst...Is always a nice combo.

Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m never sure if I can balance the two.

This was a very interesting read and I must say it was pretty hot, too. In my mind I just skipped the age thing and went from there. Nicely handled and decidedly sexy plot.

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m not sure \"plot\" is the right description, though - \"thin pretext for much smut\" might be more accurate ;)

The fact that he was reluctant was what made the whole thing work. Not to mention that he did his best to alienate all the other Joans that liked to look,but not touch. The way he zero'd in on Marie was primal and that whole 'Lesson' made me jealous.

Author's Response: Yes, I agree, reluctance was key to a believable Hooker!Logan. And I\'m also jealous of the lesson...Marie gets all the fun!

"Note to self: make team wear underwear, Scott found himself thinking as shock set in."

Danged if there aren't a bunch of funny writers on this site. I have got to remember that Pepsi and Logan/Rogue fic doesn't mix or my keyboard is screwed.

This is dark and Logan a bit more crude than I like, but the story is a good one and the writing exciting.

So, even though this Logan is not to my liking I will continue to read your fic.

Author's Response: Thank you :D I don\'t do funny very often, but occasionally a line creeps in that helps lighten the tension a bit ... and I just KNEW that was exactly what Cyclops would be thinking in this scenario! I\'m glad I\'ve been able to hook you enough to persevere with Dark!Logan ... perhaps he just needs redemption more than ever?

Thanks for the warning...I hate molestation and I just skipped over those little parts. I find myself wondering what Logan and Rogue's game is. Thank you for updating.

Author's Response: I know a lot of people would prefer not to read scenes like that. But I needed to explain just why Rogue is so messed up, and I always thought her mutation wasn\'t a standard evolutionary quirk, but needed to have some sort of pyschological factor for it to go so bad for her. Hope it wasn\'t too distressing for you :(
