I'm a Canadian, a red head (and stubborn!), a huge nerd, a former mall-rat and relapsed internet addict. I'm married and have two kids (both boys). I'm currently studying criminology which, to put it simply, is a combination of law studies, sociology and psychology.

I love reading - and it is rare to see me without a book or my laptop when I'm not with the kids. If I'm not working, reading, writing or drawing or at school - I'm at a friend's house playing D&D. Haha!

Be forewarned that my longer stories don't usually make it to completion.

Sometimes we get the balance wrong. Life is not about knowing the answers, life is what happens while you're looking for them. And the bad decisions? The screw-ups? They're what keep it interesting.

Almost lost you in the flood of updates.

Hmn. I'm always speechless at the end. I try to compliment, but nothing comes out!

Yay. I wonder if we'll get to see these two off to Japan in the end. That would be different.

Author's Response: \"I\'m always speechless at the end. I try to compliment, but nothing comes out!\" - I\'m like that most of the time too. I never know what the hell to say! I like the idea of them visiting Japan though. You never know... *g*

Sad to see this end soon... but it also means I'm going to go back and re-read it start to finish. =D

Author's Response: *lol* the ending\'s written - it\'s just the bits in between I need to sort out! I\'m going to be sad to finish this one too though!

I'm still here! =D
I'm starting to run out of things to say. Yummy chapter, especially the wet Logan.
Also - walked through a rainstorm yesterday so I had no problem picturing how they felt. Grr rain. But... also yay, rain!

Author's Response: Mmm yes, wet Logan. There\'s something strangely romantic about soaking him with rain *lol*. Or maybe that\'s just me!

Rogue returns to her past.

I feel like I'm missing something - is this part of a series?
It's kinda confusing, I think a beta reader might help clean up some of the grammar and awkward sentences.
The general idea behind the story is good, though. =)

It’s been a few years since X2 and things happened and not everyone’s where they expected to be. Logan’s world is opened up when he’s asked to help assist in the transportation of a special package.

Date: 01/14/2009 Title: Chapter 1: 'Tequila may be the river I drown in, but my sorrows still keep me afloat'

Bah, forgot to mention a few things in my above comment.

1) Multiple Man... you've been spelling his name Jaime. I think it is supposed to be Jamie. "Jaime" would be pronounced "Jaym" where Jamie would be "Jaymee"

2) Dead Girl kept bringing up the Rob Zombie song "Living Dead Girl" in my head

3) "I may be dead, but I'm still kicking" Totally sounds like a CLASSIC comic book/super hero line. Nice! It made me smile.

=D

Author's Response: Thanks for your review :) You\'re right though about his name I just realized, I know two people who both spell it differently, so I guess I just glossed over it and went with the way I\'m use to spelling it, as both people I know pronounce it the same anyways. Yeah and Dead Girl is an actual character from the comics, I wasn;t sure if it would be believeable because it\'s such an obvious name lol I also wasn\'t sure about keeping that line in cuz it sounded so corny but then i realized it sounded exactly like a superhero line.

Actually wikipedia has info on her if you ever write a scene where she explains how she's a girl.

Logan and a somewhat more comics-inspired Rogue butt heads in Laughlin City. Adversarial strangers quickly become dysfunctional comrades.

Part one of the Dark Side of the Moon series. Same premise, different consequences owing to a treatment facility for mutants called Southaven and a focus on the chemistry between Logan and Rogue.

Definitely something a man would do!
Going to have to fave this one and get back to it later. Much too tired to continue reading tonight. Very interesting, though.

Rogue buys something that some of the mansion residents don't approve of. Will she get to keep it?

Nice! I've never thought of that, but it's a good idea - and I think you have the opinions of all the characters right. Good job =)

Adjusting to life at the Mansion, Rogue struggles with her mutation and the fallout from Southaven, while Logan has to come to terms with her lies and his responsibilities.

Follow-up to "Any Color You Like" and part three of the Dark Side of the Moon series. Same premise, different consequences owing to a treatment facility for mutants called Southaven and a focus on the chemistry between Logan and Rogue.

My husband is into batman, so I know a bit about it. I'm an X girl, myself.

Hopefully you don't let this one die.... I'm good at that!

Author's Response: Thanks for the response. I\'ll try to keep its head above water. ;) I\'ve got the next chapter coming out soon.

Rogue thought she'd give anything to be with Logan but when given the very tempting chance, she didn't want to be just another notch on his bedpost. This plot bunny was DYING to be written! First Wolv/Rogu fic-enjoy!

So far the story is pretty good. Like another review said, the intro was a bit wordy. You might want to get a beta reader to catch some small grammar mistakes (apostrophes where they don't belong, and such)
Otherwise, I'm interested to see where this ends up. =) I'll review when I'm done the other chapters.

Author's Response: Thanks for reading! Yeah I do need a beta pretty bad but I appreciate the input, hope you liked the other chapters!
