Some Excerpts

I hear voices!

More accurately, I create stories in my head. Always have. It wasn't until I found fandom that I realized that other people post their stories on the internet. I know, I'm pretty naive at times.

After a couple of years of reading other people's stories, I finally started writing mine down. Then with some encouragement from Victoria P., I went from notebooks to the internet. I've been a Wolverine fangirl since before I knew what a fangirl was. The cartoon, comic books (when I could get my hands on them), you name it. It was only natural that I went to see the X-Men movie. I was so excited to finally see Wolverine on the big screen that I didn't catch much of anything else. Later on, when re-watching the movie, I saw the chemistry that Wolverine and Rogue had. There is just something about mismatched relationships that tug at my heart and make me sigh.

Happy ending girl all the way. I couldn't sustain angst to save my life. I've tried writing several angst fics, but they feel incomplete and I'm never satisfied with them. So I leave the angst to the experts.

Love scenes can be difficult to write, always worrying about if all the body parts are where they are supposed to be or if you have thrown in one to many hands. No love scene should sound like a demented game of Twister.

Action scenes can be just as troublesome, unless I have a clear mental picture of what is happening. As for introspection, I tend to ramble on endlessly and get lost, causing more rewriting to get it back on track.

They all present their own unique problems. Yet I have found over time that I prefer to write the love scenes, making them a little more obtuse -focusing less on the specifics and more on the emotions/feelings that go with it. That and love scenes usually bring about the happy endings I like so much.
