I've been a Logan/Marie writer for nearly five years now; I stumbled onto the original archive and spent way too many hours reading and following the wonderful stories there. I just wanted to share what I'd written with the great authors I'd read. I've had some great help from those who've read them and some pointers in the direction of the characters and their motivations. Hopefully here I'll be able to supply more to keep others reading and creating, just as you've all inspired me, thanks Jo.

Brave story, well writtten and brilliantly executed, thank you for sharing this with us all. Nicely paced, just enough detail to hit the target but not too much to get bogged down (like I tend to lol).
Well done honey!

Not you too! I get him sat next to me growling if I get the subtext wrong, or if it goes against what 'he' wants it to go like. Although he does give praise when he feels like it...does yours?

Thanks honey!

Logan and Marie test a theory.

Erm...cold shower needed....

Thank you for frying my brain again, hugs Jo

Author's Response: Hugs back. But please, hurry with that snow. Wouldn\'t want to fry your brain for good, I like your stories way too much. :)

Great story honey, I loved the free-flow of the dialogue here, could just see the pair of them going at it. Well done babe!

Author's Response: Thank you - I\'m glad you enjoyed it. There\'s been so many fic\'s put on here lately i\'m falling behind with my reading - but i think at some point i\'ll have to do something else with these two, they seem to have so much fun when screaming insults at each other!

It's time someone really understood what they've missed for so long.

Just perfectly pitched, the tone balanced and weighty without being too dramatic and if this was done in a few minutes then that manuscript should be heading for masterpiece. Thanks for giving us this one honey, we all need to remember that they're human underneath all those powers. Hugs Jo.

Poignant, very well written, emotionally perfect, a great story and a take on the sides of them we rarely witness. Thank you for sharing it with us, hugs Jo.

Nothing major had evoked the melancholy within him. The earth had not shaken and the stars had not fallen. It had been simple. So painfully simple.

I've lost a lot of people throughout my life and honey you've nailed it, the feeling of loss, the helplessness and the pain that just won't shift in your throat so you can *breathe*. Thanks for sharing this one honey, sometimes it's good to remember.

Author's Response: Thanks so much, Joanne. This was the first story I ever wrote; I\'d lost someone close to me very recently, and wanted to express those feelings in a story. Though it\'s sad, I\'m glad it worked, and that it helped you remember in a good way. Thanks again for the feedback.

Rogue examines her life, a philosophical concept, the span of two years and nine months, a baby diaper, a John Wayne movie, the power of positive thinking versus sleeping, her skin, and finally…a beautiful way to complicate things.

Nice one honey, just the right tempo of joy and love, *adult* love here, not the hearts and flowers of whistful wanting but real. Very well handled honey, not too heavy on the fluff and well paced throughout. If this is your first we have a wonderful set of work to look forward to from you. Thank you for sharing this with us, it's nice to read a homely fic. Hugs Jo.

Author's Response: Many thanks for taking time to review and offer encouragement! I just hope the one I am working on now is okay too.

Very good imagery honey, love the way you've got Logan a bit on the feral side and I'm with ya on the whole 'cold' thing with Bobby, makes me shiver just to think about it. Want a co author? Have a look at my lot on here, let me know, but great start honey and I like your Logan.
