Bio:
Lets see, I always hate these things because I never know what to write.

Hmmm, well I'm new to the fandom, but not new to fanfics and writing. The link on my profile page has one of my fanfiction.net accounts, if anyone wants to see some of the previous stories I've written.

I have somewhat of a love affair with words. I love certain phrases or lines in description that for that amount of time seem to invoke the perfect combination of feeling and creativity for that scene. So if anyone ever receives a review from me about a line that i particularly liked or caught my attention, please know that's one of the highest compliments i can give you.

Moving away from the writing aspect, I've been an on and off again fan of X-Men since before the 90's cartoon time. Always been a fan of Wolverine, my love of Storm stemmed more from the release of the last movie more than anything else not to mention the idea of those two getting together.

Now that I'm more aware of how deeply rooted for a time those two were in the comic, I can honestly say I can share the pain most of you felt when she was paired off with Black Panther.

Granted, I still think in the back of my mind, when they finished all the exploiting storylines they can muster, she'll be written back with the X-Men with some sort of excuse explaining the ordeal and everything will be back to normal.

In the meantime we all must settle for fanfiction!

Date: 05-10-09 Title: Chapter 2: Normal?

I'm gonna start out by saying, I like your story. You have a few grammatical errors. You start a new paragraph when a different person starts to speak. A few spelling mistakes, all in all there's nothing too bad that a good beta couldn't find.

Even dialogue is not bad. My only real issue is moral really. The whole teacher/student relationship thing, is always very touchy. Usually with stories such as these, the Author makes light of such issues because they want to get straight to the romance.

I always think that's a mistake, because it shows how strong of a character they both are if they actually fight and grieve with themselves over their feelings. Oppose to the two of them just jumping in the bed at first chance.

It makes your story seem more real not to mention it gives it more substance and depth. I mean really explore the notion. Make it more than just, Logan's on the rebound from his fight with Jean. And Ororo just sees Logan as someone a lot more mature than the other boys her age.

Anyway that's just my thoughts. See ya next chapter!

Author's Response: Wow, thanks for the input. You brought up some good points...when I think about this story and the direction it's going...I do want it to be about more then sex. Although the sexual tension cant be out right ignored...Your review reminded me of the importance of taking things slow. I knew going into it that the age difference and the stigma of Teacher/Student relationships was a sensitive situation, and might not sit well with some folks. I only hope to be respectful, but yet realistic as I go along...The grammatical errors? I'll try to be more mindful of those...if you know of any good beta readers let me know. Thanks again.

Date: 05-12-09 Title: Chapter 3: Where Was That Line We Crossed

Again another nice chapter. A few spelling mistakes here and there, but nothing too major. Although, I have to ask, was the Professor Summers you were referring to earlier in the chapter the same Scott Summers that was trying to date Ororo earlier in the story or another Summers? That one threw me for a loop.

I have to say, I'm interesting in what news did Ororo have. I'm guessing he decided to back out of any sort of relationship, but I wonder why? Was the prospect of her leaving for another college too much for him to even warrant an effort?

Oh well we'll see.

Author's Response: Yeah my bad, I've been reviewing some of my other fan fics and Im getting my story all mixed up...thanks for keeping me on my toes I've changed it. The spelling errors? I tried really hard this time ran spell check like 5 times,and read it over about as much...editing isnt one of my strongest areas as you can see...oh well. Like I said if you can point me in the direction of a good beta reader that would be great...if not then Im sure my spelling isnt going to get any better. Thanks for reading.

Date: 05-18-09 Title: Chapter 5: I Want You To Hate Me

Very, very well played, I have to say. This story is turning out the way I hoped. Which is very hard to pull off might I ask, because I tend to be demanding.

You also have an ability that a lot of authors do not. You're able to maintain the character distance not because you're trying to prolong your story, for added "drama". It's present because you generally feel that, this isn't the right moment. Once again, I've found that a lot of authors fail at that last part. And I'm glad you haven't fallen into that trap.

I can't wait to see more from you and this series. ^^

I have to say, not that the rest of the chapter wasn't enjoyable but the last 2 paragraphs really ignite the whole chapter. Just as things were almost close to making sense, things just became even more chaotic. Very, very interested in seeing what happens next.

Wow, talk about the cat getting let out of the bag. Everything is out in the open now. I really wonder what's going to happen with the Professor and the rest of them.

Not a bad chapter, had a few spelling errors. The think the word you were looking for was "quite" not "quit". Some other small things, no real biggie.

I have to agree with Cee, the Log-Ali exchange was hilarious.

Author's Response: Thanks for catching those for me. Ive made those changes...I'll try not to do the "hot off the press" releases so much...lol

Date: 10-28-09 Title: Chapter 12: Much too Much

See I was right with you all the way, but this chapter I'm not feeling. I don't mind the throw down between Scott and Logan. Not to mention the danger it became when Ororo was caught in the middle. But the reaction of everyone in the mansion is baffling to me.

Given the events that went down, I don't know why everyone is blaming Logan for what happened. Scott clearly was out of line. Logan was acting in self-defense. And given his history and temperament, I would think no one would be surprised he tried to kill Scott, since Scott attempted to kill them both.

I mean even removing my RoLo status I can't see why Logan is taking the full brunt of this thing.

Summary: This fic takes place after the Storm Front episodes, where Storm almost married Arkon. Almost loosing Storm made Wolverine realize what he almost lost.

It's actually funny, the way the 90's cartoon portrayed him, Scott pretty much would act that way. lol. Kudos for the authentic Summers reaction.

Author's Response: Lol, thanks.

Heh, some of Jubilee's lines here are funny, because they'd sound exactly like how they portrayed her in the show. As usually good job, it's almost like watching an episode from the 90's show how well you pull everyone off here.

Date: 05-15-09 Title: Chapter 1: Not Ticklish

Uh, hem....Just to let you ladies know, that hurts. A lot! I mean a hell of a whole lot. I mean I could make a 13 page tangent on how much that hurts and it would never be clear enough.

Anyway, despite the whole Vulcan death grip incident..uh.. "cute" story I suppose. Granted that Storm is painted as a sadist here, but I guess that's besides the point.

Author's Response: I know I should have gone into further detail to get across the point of how much it hurts. I played goal in hockey for years, and even a shot off the jock was enough to cause my stomach to turn and my eyes to water. As far as Storm grabbing Wolverine's twig and giggleberries, I should point out there is a completely different second half of the story that I replaced with this. It's much more serious, and was kind of a drag. Plus, Wolverine does heal quickly, just not THAT quickly in THAT area. Or that's how my interpretation is, coming from the line from the ringer in the first movie.

Ah, my dear you never cease to amaze me. Even during this somewhat drought, you still can bring forth great writing. A nice story that wasn't too involved, very sexy and a good read. Thanks again for the work hon.

Author's Response: Thanks, Brandon, your feedback means a lot. Missed you around here!!! I didn't want to beat everyone over the head with my usual angst and suffering, this was more for fun. Good to see you.

Windy, I have to thank you for this. Slowly but surely I've been trying to return back to the fandom, since my previous commitment seems to be over, but we sometimes need a good push. This was exactly what the doctor ordered.

I have to say not only was this a surprise but it was a pleasant surprise to see your name on the recent story list. Heck you even got Pari reviewing which is no small feat. ^^

This story was a nice change of pace from the stories you usually do. Especially in its presentation. The changing tense and points of view was compelling, it gave the story its own interesting flair.

I especially loved the line about "good old fashion avoidance". That was priceless.

The one question I do have, the section that was right about wedding scene kind of threw me off, i thought Ororo died somehow and it was Logan that despite his ability to heal, that type of pain was something he could never recover from. But then the next line they're both together. So I don't know. Regardless, good story and good to see you're around and still writing. Hope to see more from you in the future. Later lass. ^^

Author's Response: Well, hey there, stranger! First, thank you for this very awesome review! **happy dance** And you're right. She died. The first 3 days are in a scattered linear order, but I really didn't like that overly much so I changed the last 4 to be random. I think I may re-work that though, so it's easier to follow. You're not the first to mention it, so yeah. I'll adjust that. :D

LOL! I have to say this was a fun read. And since Thanksgiving just passed, it seemed right on time.

I thought it was endearing that Logan, despite his obvious difficulties was trying to have a thanksgiving dinner. And the food, tv chief motif was cute.

It's funny, that Ororo was mentally complaining about the mess some of the students made earlier on and I beat the horror in that kitchen that Ororo and Logan created probably outshined it. LOL.

Anyway another good one hon.

Author's Response: Now see, I was hoping someone would appreciate the irony of that, and I'm so glad you hit that nail right on the head, B. That's why I miss hearing from you!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it, though. Emeril's show makes me laugh. My sister reminded me of another thing he said "We're getting another visit from the spice weasel..."

Date: 12-04-09 Title: Chapter 1: Tengo la llave de tu corazon

You got a lot of good things going with this story and also some bad things as well. The story starts out very strongly has a good amount of personality with the character and the over feel. I like the gradual build of the relationship between Logan and Ororo.

But midway things start to spiral out a bit. The story goes in a few directions that kinda detract from the main issues of the story. Which made it hard to understand what of all was the important events going on. I don't know if that's because it initially was two chapters combined into one or what.

Also the story just ends with only few of the issues brought up of the story resolved, so there is no real sense of closure with the story. I honestly clicked back to make sure this wasn't supposed to be a one shot and actually had a few more chapters.

Honestly, I would redo this story. You had a lot of elements in the story that you brought up to me as the reader and I had an interest in but then it doesn't relate really to the rest of the story. I'd say, flesh out some of those parts and return to the ending of the story.

I hope this doesn't come out as overwhelming. I think you have a lot talent as a writer. I really like a lot of this story, which is why i'm trying to give out so much insight on it.

Author's Response: No,the story isn't resolved. It's excerpted from longer novel. I just decided to post it here because I thought people might enjoy. The rest of the novel is not RoLo, so I knew I couldn't post it here, but I thought people might want to read this snippet, but since it's too overwhelming I'll probably just take it down. Thanks for the feedback!
