Some Excerpts

You can blame *that* on the Screwed Believers of the Profiler fandom (and yes, they live up to their name - big time). They are a pretty talented bunch, and their style fascinated me. So I wrote a few fics in that fandom (one of which could actually be read ;) and then a short Star Wars fic (and no, searching for it will not produce anything. I used a 'net nick). By then I'd grown a bit tired of it and had pretty much dropped the fanfic when X-Men: The Movie landed in our local cinema. Needless to say, I was hooked, and before I knew it, I got saddled with the laziest, but most annoying muse this side of the South Pole.

The thing I enjoy most about fanfic in general is the fact that there are virtually no limits. In the real comic books, the writers always have to be careful not to push away their readers. In the world of fanfic, you don't have rules and ratings to worry about (at least not in the same sense). It gives you a chance to explore subjects that the 'real' writers would never touch. The one thing I enjoy most about the L/R relationship are the characters. Rogue and Logan seem so different, but are probably more alike than one should think. They are tired, wounded and alone, and have both been through too much in life...there are a lot of possibilities in that pairing. And the chemistry...wow. The chemistry they had in the movie makes it very easy to believe in the couple.

Personally, I despise the unwritten rules of any fandom. Fanfic is supposed to be about writing whatever you want, not what other people tells you to. Besides, the more rules you add, the harder it is for any fandom to renew itself and stay alive.
