Some Excerpts

I'd say I write what's missing or I write pairings that people want to see and I try to write it 'in canon' as much as possible. What I consider to be my best work are stories that weave around actual episodes (or in the case of XMM--movies) and incorporate 'missing' scenes or getting two characters together based on what actually happened on screen. I try to write 'in character' as well so when someone is reading my story, they should (hopefully) be able to 'hear' the voices of the characters in their head. That's the type of writing I personally want to read so that's what I try to write.

I've been all over--X-Files, JAG, West Wing, Buffy, Angel, XMM, Harry Potter and I even drabbled in House once. However, for personal reasons, XMM has always been a special fandom to me. I didn't write a lot of XMM fanfic but what I wrote was truly written from the heart.

I truly felt that X2 dropped the L/R ball big time. It's not that I expected them to be together in the sequel because it was obviously going to be L/J focused but I wanted them to have that same close, almost intimate bond they had in X1. Logan nearly died for Rogue in X1. He promised to take care of her. There would have to be an emotional attachment there of some sort and it was barely there in X2 and I don't think there at all in X3. If you only have seen X3, then you'd have no idea there was anything between L/R at all and that isn't right, at least to me. It's a major continuity issue and I can't seem to get past it.
