Some Excerpts
The characters captured my attention when I saw the movie, particularly Logan. I found the Logan/Rogue pairing rather squicky for a long time, but writers like Diebin and Victoria and all of the brilliant people who brought the pairing to the forefront of the fandom changed my mind. I saw that not only could the romance be done believably, but they reminded me that there were many facets of the relationship to explore beyond simple romantic inclinations.
I actually didn't come to the comics until after seeing the movie. In the movie Rogue intrigued me, but she seemed somehow flat. When I saw the vibrancy of her character in the comics, I was floored. She captivated me and drew me in to a much greater degree. She came off as a bit more dimensional in X2, but I still feel the movies haven't even touched on the core of the character yet. The fiery, vivacious young woman in the comics is a far cry from what she's been in the films. That said, reading the comics has caused me to read dimension into things when watching the movie, so I enjoy the character more there for knowing the history even if it doesn't apply.
I saw and own X2. I have plot bunnies, but many of them have been channeled into rpgs that I run. In the future, I do plan to write more X-Men fic, both finishing up in-progress works and making up some whole new stories. I always work in multiple fandoms, however. It gives me variety and lets me play with all sorts of characters and situations. It's fun, and that's what fic is all about. To tell the truth, I am even in the process of writing a Hercules fic, and that was my very first internet fandom. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
