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! =)
