Bio:
I got in a tizzy a few years ago, decided to give up fan fiction, so deleted all my stories. But later when I went to delete my ff.net account I just couldn't. I felt I had one story left in me. But, um, yeah, no stories remain here. Sorry.
I'm not putting my stories back here even though two of the stories that were here aren't on fanfiction.net. I've been so lazy (one reason I'm not reposting anything here) but one day I plan to post the two stories I had here over there. And if anyone cares you can read my stories at fanficdtion.net under the same name, Darlin. I also have stories with Ororo paired with Remy/Kurt/Iceman/Quicksilver/Thor/Sabretooth and maybe down the road even with Legolas. And if you like LotR I've a link there to another account I have, dreamingnwatercolors, with a few LotR stories as well as Firefly and Hildago.
I have to say I kind of miss this site, the camaraderie. I wonder what's up with some of my favorite author's and hope they're well.

I actually teared up as I read the ending. This was such a beautiful story, just truly wonderful. I don't even have enough adjectives to describe it! Superb. Just very simple, very realistic, nothing overdone, all so believable and touching. Touching is a good description. I don't recall being touched by such a story or at least not in a great while and then they're usually death stories and one shots. Even the parts with Scott and Logan had a nice emotional feel to them, Logan's coming to terms with the boy leader who rather grows up and especially where they were working on the car together, perfect male bonding. Truthfully I don't think this story could get much better! Lovely job, Minarya! I'm glad you finally found your way to the Realm!

I'm so sorry I didn't beta this for you - I meant to but I've been so busy! But I really loved this story. I love the Romain elements. I love your uniqueness.

Your drabbles make me smile! :D
Author's Response: Thanks!! Just started with Drabbles. Had attempted earlier, but that idea grew into a series of sort.
Date: 04-14-06 Title: Chapter 8: Only That
I mentioned this before but this was nice. I like the image she kept. I like these drabbles quite a lot. Simple but poignant.
Author's Response: Thanks. Finally posted another one...a very difficult proposition with the current going-ons in the ultimate universe.
Date: 08-03-06 Title: Chapter 9: Stick Around
I'll say! Another nice drabble. :D
Author's Response: Thanks Darlin'.

Sinjin, I love Stargate so the idea of putting them in that universe is enjoyable. I’m really curious to see where you’re going with this.
Author's Response: to tell the truth Darlin so am I
Date: 03-01-06 Title: Chapter 3: Act III
First let me say I love this concept. I love the mixing of Stargate with X-Men so I really enjoyed this story. Second, I think it’s too short. And last I definitely think it demands a sequel. I want to know what happens now that they’re going to get together unlike with the real Stargate where Jack took off leaving poor Sam abandoned more or less! I won’t get into that though.
Anyway, it's going to be a while before I can get caught up on the rest of your stories and all the other's here but hopefully by next weekend I'll have reviews galore.

I like the premise of your story but Ororo being thought strange and dark and her mother wanting her to be pale is a little hard for me to swallow. I'm not trying to be harsh and critical but Ororo is after all Black with dark brown skin. I don't know, maybe I'm being too picky. I do think your story has potential. I enjoyed the book and the mini series immensely, even the movie wasn't bad, and Logan is perfect for Darcy so aside from the race issue it's fun to read and it's a neat idea.
Author's Response: Yes I understand your concern, but as it is as you said a fact that Ororo is dark brown-black, there have to be reactions to her looks when the story doesn't take place in the regular Marvel Universe. The social standards in my fic is more or less like in the 18th century England, were fair skin were preffered. I will include mutants with more striking features than Ro's and even if they (mutants) are more or less accepted, they will not be considered as beautiful as the "normal" looking one. In the P&P novel, the author makes a point that Jane is seen as more beautiful than Elizabeth. Mr Bingleys sisters even complained that Elizabeth was tanned I believe. I hope this will be easier to accept as the story progress. You are welcome with your criticism =) I want to improve afterall! =)

I hadn't realized you were continuing this! I really liked the ending to this chapter. Their undoing - sounds so intriguing! I see I have some catching up to do. One thing about your stories is that it's always, always nice to get a Logan with a true male perspective.
Author's Response: Welll.....hmmmm...thanks (grinning). Guess my being a male helps in giving Logan, the 'male perspective'. Have seen very few male authors on the realm, and every little bit helps (either side), dontcha think?

W6C, it's good to see you posting and even better to know you’re working on the next chapter! One thing for sure this is a story that’s well worth the wait. Welcome back!
Author's Response: Thank you very much, Darlin'... it feels pretty good bein' back an' I'm certainly glad to see that "Eye" has stood the test of time. I'm editing Ch. 20 now and will keep postin' them up as I continue work on Ch. 27. It's great to be back, thanks again. --- W6C
Date: 01-02-06 Title: Chapter 23: Ch. 23 - Acts of Vengeance, pt 3
Excellent as usual. I really like the friendship Jean and Ororo have. This continues to be such a well thought out and intriguing story. Kudos.
Author's Response: Thanks, Darlin'. I really like their friendship too. Was a li'l tired of readin' stories about jealousy between them. There's no need for that, as we know how devoted Jean is to Scott. I think Jean an' Ro make great "best friends". Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. --- W6C
Date: 01-15-06 Title: Chapter 26: Ch. 26 - Acts of Vengeance, pt 6
Oh! That last part was great! Um, give us a minute. I loved that. But everything was good. Great action and great descriptions, especially the RoLo ones with the way you compare them, children of the earth, son of the forest, daughter of the sky. Good, good work but could I expect any less?
Author's Response: I hope not. *grins* But you can expect more with Ch. 27. Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it. --- W6C
Date: 02-21-07 Title: Chapter 27: Ch. 27 (At Death's Door, part 1)
Holy winged nutcase, W6C! Warren completely shocked me! That was very well done. Warren's detached, calm, cool, collected bearing was excellent. Now, are we going to have to wait a whole year for the next chapter - and more RoLo, btw? ;D You know I'm not coming down on you, it's always worth waiting for these updates, problem is the chapter was way too short! Like a spoonful of water after we've been stranded in the heart of Modor for a week!
Author's Response: LOLOL! holy winged nutcase? lolol
No you wont have to wait another year for the next chapter. I think, the first 26 chapters were just so intense to write that I needed a hiatus to recover from it an' get clear headed again. I'm ready an' raring to go for the rest of the way now. Thanks for the comments lolol Darlin --- W6C
Date: 05-21-07 Title: Chapter 28: Ch. 28 At Death's Door, pt 2
Now this is getting intriguing beyond words. I personally like Sabertooth, I just can't help myself, so I'm very curious that he seems to want to help. It's whet my appetite! As always well done, W6C.
Author's Response: I like Sabretooth too. I just like him more three dimensional than we've been allowed to see of him in the comics. Well remember in an earlier chapter where he was reminiscing about when he first met Logan... way back in their youth, when Victor was thrilled to meet someone who had gifts that rivaled his own.... Well, we'll be touchin' on that again. Thanks for the FB Darlin, It's appreciated --- W6C
