Some Excerpts

An X-Men comic was the first thing I learned how to read on my own. I was five/six and my parents were going through a nasty divorce. As a result, we moved in with my grandparents for a while. I was an uprooted southern girl who suddenly found herself living in New York, and of course I got teased for having an accent. *I think we can all safely guess at this point who I could associate with.* The thought of super heroes with amazing powers was appealing enough to me as a little kid, add to the fact that it was a great escape from the real world and that I could easily associate with one of the characters…. I was hooked. I started saving my allowance and hitting the local comic shop. It’s been a love affair ever since.

I’m sure everyone remembers Book Fair in school, right? Well, when I saw the paper back “Cerebro Files”, of course I had to buy it! Inside this book were the watered down, (and slightly altered) versions of the X-teams “defining moment” on the team. Rogue’s involved Logan, and I altered it to read like they were involved. *I was a shipper before I knew what it meant!* There was always something that bothered me about Rogue and Gambit, and when I saw X-1, everything just seemed to click into place. While comics are my main source of inspiration, I’d have to say X-1 was the movie that cemented Rogan as my OTP.

My stories are generally influenced by a million things. I find myself leaning towards baby!fic a lot because it’s something I’m comfortable with. I have a baby, and therefore I tend to translate that into my writing, and have to stop myself. Marie on my Mind was originally meant to end badly, but some of the readers… let’s just say there were some not so veiled threats of death and dismemberment if I did that… I can face a two year old toddler, I can face the United States Marines, but Angry Rogan Shippers… No thank you!
