Barely Legal Since 2000
This story is simply perfect. Really poignant... I loved the intensity of it. Great work, really.
Author's Response: Thank you! :)
I just read all your fics, and I really, really love them. I love the way you are able to pour so much feelings, so much life into these characters.
Great work!
Author's Response: Wow, you read all of them? Hee, thanks so much! I\'m glad you enjoyed them.
I utterly love it. The Jean POV is believable, Marie is so in character it hurts, and the prose is just breathtaking. Excellent work!
Reading this brought something to my mind. I don't think I already told you, but you write the best damned smut I've read in ages. Maybe ever. Yeah, the best smut I ever read, most certainly.
Great, great job as usual! X3
Author's Response: Thank you. Actually I\'m quite shy and quiet nun living in a monastery and... Uh. Heh. Thanks. :)
(Yes, I'm in the middle of a reviewing-spree.)
Anyway, that third chapter? Urh, good gods, that was nice.
Logan, most of the time? Nice.
Logan/Jackman and bathtub smut? That should be illegal. Should be the bane of PTAs everywhere.
I'll never watch The Fountain's bathroom scene with an innocent eye ever again. Not that it is innocent to begin with, but well. And well, it does help that Logan and Marie have suck a crackling chemistry.
And about your ability to write smut... I don't think good smut has much to do with wide knowledge and crude description, but rather : a good grasp at characterization and a great way of dealing with your character's inner voice. You're naturally good at that, so your smut is great too. Logical.
As someone said once : "Staying IC during sex scenes is particularly important, because sex is a deeply personal thing, and a sex scene is your character in the raw; naked and exposed."
YOU are very good at characterization, and you always convey the POVs with such ease, really. Your writings are natural, alive and vibrant. So is your smut. Smut can be such a pain to write, it's to easy to start spouting nonsense, and fall into the Pit of Silliness.
It's not about the act, it's about the character's feelings, reactions, characterization, and the overall picture. You're really, really good at that.
Author's Response: \"Smut can be such a pain to write, it\'s to easy to start spouting nonsense, and fall into the Pit of Silliness.\"
Been there, done that. More often than I care to count or remember...
But, thanks for the fb. This is one of those that I should print it out and keep reading when I get stuck and nothing seems to work. Thank you. :)
/ de-lurking briefly /
ooooh, I like where this is going... Yum!
I fucking love your style so fucking much, I keep adding random expletives everywhere. fuck.
I know you must be tired with the fanish devotion, but really, your works are so, so great to me, it's just... uurh, I can't go on reading without letting you know that I love what you do with Logan.
Yeah, I know, that's not construtive reviewing. But fuck, I love your style.
Author's Response: Constructive? Heck, I\'m just glad to get any rewiews at all. It\'s good to know that people find the time to read these scribblings. ;)
I'm pretty sure I souldn't be jumping to my laptop to read this fic each time it gets updated... But I can't control this kneejerk reaction of mine. I love this twist. I love it to bits.
I live for well written stuff. And Pub Grub. But mostly well written stuff.
I had a feeling that things were steering that way. I was giddy with expectation, because if there's one thing you're good at, it's pulling stuff like this out of your sleeves.
The Nolan factor, right? Right.
The reader knows it's going to be ugly, but he/she never knows *which* kind of Ugly is actually going to show up.
And when it comes out of nowhere, and slams into your brain so hard that you *actually* sit there reeling from the aftershock long after finishing the chapter? Gods, it's so, so, so good. *Braingasm*
I want more braingasms like these, lol. I'm a needy bitch and I'm afraid you're going to be stuck with me for a long time. I just can't get tired of your style.
Where do you pull this style from, woman? Seriously, you've got a gift. And I'm not saying that in a “Oh, u're good! Hmm, btw update soon, much?” kind of way.
I mean it, really. Uuurh, I'm gushing again. But this story does all kinds of funny things to my brain. It's like reading 'War' all-over again, or watching Memento for the first time.
PS: And I really, really love your Marie at 40. You've done a number on her in this one, and you know what? I'm loving the complexity of it. And the 'Bitch-from-Hell' part is a perfect counterweight to Logan's madness/moodiness/Logan-ness. How do you manage? How is it that these two are completely different in each of your fics, and yet they always, ALWAYS, are complementary? You keep surprising me.
Author's Response: I have split-personality disorder. :) Sorry, bad joke. Very bad. shouldn\'t joke about those things. actually, when I start writing I just kind of imagine myself in Logan\'s shoes and go from there. Half of the time I spend on my balcony smoking and trying to come up with right words, half of the time I spend iffing and fearing that nobody will understand a single thing from the mess I have managed to make.
Now, I have no clue as to where this is going.
...
This is quite puzzling, really. I pride myself on being able to see the outline of plots after only a few paragraphs most of the time, but here I must give up and admit that you win.
And that tickles my curiosity in an unhealthy way. I'm afraid I'm slightly obsessed with this, now.
*obsessing*
(but in a very, very good way)
Author's Response: No angst or blood and guts in this one. No uglies. This may be considered even as foof. Just a fair warning.
Ahaha, foof is really nice too. I don't mind whatever it is, as long as you're the one writing it, I'm always more than satisfied. ^.~
Methinks you're a good, good person, with a nice dose of creativity. And Rogan bunnies just can't be herded, they have a mind of their own, it seems.
Now, about the story...
Wheeeee, epic-ness! Princesses, Kings, alliances, realms, doomed love, and a Logan pumped up with silly chivalrous ideas! Recipe for an oh-so-enjoyable disaster.
Loving this.
This is good, this is GOOD, this is SO good... You always go down the less travelled road, always pick-up the most unbelievable course of events, and you always, ALWAYS make it work out as swiftly as an old tale.
Author's Response: What can I say? For this one you can blame Logie. He wanted to play a knight for a change. :)
Once again, you're raising interesting questions.
You grab a 'done to death/ fandom-meme' storyline,turn it upside down, and then spun it all around (in a completely unexpected way). I *love* it.
And about the writing technique, I love the anaphoric use of : "She doesn't see me. Not yet.", it's a real delight to read such a nicely crafted text... And it helps buidling the tension...
Great job as usual X3
Author's Response: I was listening to Depeche Mode\'s \"It\'s No Good\" when this came to my mind. If you have seen the vid for that song, you know where this came from.
Thanks for the fb. Appreciated, as always. :)
Uuuuuuuhr, wrists... Mine are still giving me hell (now you know how I sprained mine)... I have no clue as to when I'll be able to be back to normal again. -losing hope-
So go easy on them, better stop while they're still working X3.
Take care.
And oh? I love the fatherly side of your Logans. Let's see how this one deals with paternity X3
Author's Response: Well... That boy in the cage is Logan\'s (in a manner). Let\'s just hope he can keep his homicidal tendencies at bay when the baby Marie\'s carrying arrives... :)
mwaaaaaah, I love the fox.
*melting*
This is the first fic by you I read. After reading it, I had a strange urge to go an listen to Vater Unser and Rammstein( Du Riechst So Gut, but this is completely the 1998 video's fault.)
And about the italic thingy, I think it needs a '/' thing somewhere. Like :
< i > ... < / i >
but I'm not entirely sure.
urrh, formating... blasted contraption.
Author's Response: First fic and it just had to be unfinished?
Hehee. I don\'t even remember what I was looking for when I stumbled upon \"Das Tier In Mir (Wolfen)\" by E-Nomine at YouTube. Hadn\'t even heard of the band before, but from that moment I was hooked. And that song just screamed for me to write this fic.
Yes, Buddy\'s back. I don\'t know for how long, or how big part she will have in this last chappie, but we\'ll see. :) And thanks for your help.
