Bio:
Hi fellow RoLo fans! I'm new to the fanfic world, but it looks like I'm in good company on this site. I always thought Ororo and Logan should be together, so it's nice to see a site dedicated to them.

I'm 24 and have been a Storm and Wolverine fan since I was a kid. My brother and I would watch the cartoons every Saturday morning. It's always been a pleasure of mine to read and write, so I'm happy to have found an outlet in fan fics.

I'm a fan of ensemble television shows. I love Lost, Heroes, The Wire and The Office. I'm also an obsessed Harry Potter fan. So, this July I'll be drowning in all things Harry Potter. I'm psyched!

Summary: [AU] Movieverse. You get a lot of time to think when you’re handcuffed to a bed, and right now, Ororo was thinking about how she ended up in this predicament. Complete.

Date: 06-07-06 Title: Chapter 22: So Much to Give

Darn that Jean Grey! Why can't she mind her own business? I'm hoping deep down inside that the baby isn't Logan's. I would hate for him to have to deal with Jean for the rest of his life. Nina was adorable. Gotta love Selene and her meddling nature. Of course I'm happy that 'Ro and Logan are making small steps to get together. I wonder what other obstacles they'll have to face in the near future. Great update. :)

BTW, I have a severe case of writer's block on my fic. I'm trying desperately to get the dialogue together. Wish me luck! :)

I can't wait to see what 'Ro has to say to Scott. What a jerk! Poor Logan. He has a lot on his mind. This was a great chapter in a great story.

Awesome update! Lilandra is insane, Nick made a horrible choice, Logan will go berserker crazy when he finds out what's going on and poor 'Ro. It's difficult seeing her in such a state. The pulling out of the hair and the bloody vomit made me cringe. Yikes! This story just keeps getting better! :)

What is going on? Something smells rotten here. Thanks for another great update!

Summary: Without giving too much away, Logan’s had a tough time recently, and escapes the Mansion with Gambit for some much needed R&R. A chance encounter, however, will change his reasons for returning to Westchester.

For Ororo Munroe, life has been hard enough as a mutant without the added curse of a Day Walker (damn, spoiled that one, huh?). At war with herself and this condition, she will reach out to the X-Men for help…and one of them accepts the call.

Loved it! I love both of your stories Echo. I'm loving this slow burn between our RoLo. I can't wait to see what the other X-Men will think of 'Ro when she finally arrives. Beautifully written as always. Eagerly anticipating your next update.

Summary: Summary: Alternate universe. Romance for romance’s sake, no Sentinels, Brotherhood, or current continuity, but the characters are still Marvel’s. The quotes are from Hans Christian Andersen. I’ll be delving back into 616 Universe once I consult my back issues, I promise. In the meantime, sorry if I’m boring the crap out of anyone.

Oh dear. I hope everything turns out right for them. Logan needs to reign in that impulsive nature of his. They both need to let go of their fears and let love lead the way. Great update!

Author's Response: Yeah, they do need to let go of those fears, and Logan is kind of impulsive, isn't he? Read on. And thanks for visiting.

If I haven't said this before, I'm saying it now. Your writing voice is spectacular. I love it. It's amazing how you weave your words together. They have an effortless flow. I get excited when I see you've updated or added a new story. I'm loving seeing Logan drown in his love for 'Ro. Ororo is definitely working him. I'm not sure if she's cheating on him yet, but I can't wait to find out!

It's nice to see another LOST fan. I'm addicted myself. :)

Author's Response: Thanks. I tend to think I ramble when I write, but I'm glad that you're enjoying it. Now, when are you going to update? ;) I'm waiting.

Author's Response: Oh! And I'm so helplessly addicted to LOST. There needs to be a 12-step program for people like me.

Once again it was beautiful. I love Ororo's self-loathing. She should feel that way. She's woven a path of destruction that only she can make right. My mind is racing with who "the other" could be. It's gone from Gambit to Sabretooth to Cyclops. I'm in awe of your writing style. It is extremely intelligent and real. Brilliant! :)

Author's Response: Thanks! You're right. She should. One of my worries with this chapter was I didn't convey that guilt enough. I talked it over with my close writing friend, and she told me to just keep writing it out and see where it goes, that I might surprise myself. And I was a little concern even while editing that I hadn't done enough to show that she was guilty, but everyone else seems to think otherwise.

Summary: Two years ago, in a state of grief over the loss of Jean Grey, Logan made a mistake. That mistake led to Ororo Munroe's resignation from the X-Men.

I love this already. Logan's inner thoughts in the beginning were beautifully written. Ororo really should have fried him for what he said. What a fool he was. Can't wait to see her return. I hope Charles is okay. Looking forward to your next update.

Summary: Ororo Munroe has the weight of the world on her dainty shoulders, and would do anything for the people she loves. James Howlett wants to show her how to take a load off, and show her that love is a two-way street. Alternate universe, no powers. These are Marvel’s characters, but by the time I’m finished with them, they will only bear a scant resemblance.

Poor 'Ro! She would embarrass herself when Logan shows up. LMAO at that too! I can't wait until this ball happens. I hope 'Ro finally gives Emma, Jean and Selene a piece of her mind. Thanks for the update. :)


Author's Response: Well, she's still gotta keep that job, so she can't give 'em too big a piece, but some comeuppance would be nice. I've taken equally idiotic falls over chairs during my life, I was dying to use that.

Summary: Wolverine learns that Xavier is alive, but the reason Xavier reveals himself to Logan is not a happy one. Ororo, having left the X-Men, has vanished without a trace. The only evidence they have is a cottage in Alaska and a recording of her voice screaming for Logan's help.

I love this fic already. It has mystery, grief and drama. I'm worried about Ororo. I want to hug Eliar and Andine. (Love dogs.) I'm excited that Logan will be kicking ass soon.

Can't wait for your next update!

Summary: How do you bring together two people who have been there, done that, have seen it all, and decided “No, thank you?” Show them that they don’t know everything they think they know. RoLo, alternate verse. If you’re looking for claws and lightning bolts, look elsewhere.

Wow. This gets better. Loved the drunken conversations b/t the friends. Reminds me of times when my friends and I headed home from frat parties and binged on late night meals at IHOP. Good times. Can Pietro be any more of an ass? Goodness! He got his jollies off and then that was it.

I'm eagerly awaiting the first real meeting b/t RoLo.

Author's Response: IHOP...heck yeah. Greasy spoons' taste better after lots of shots. I was more a club girl than a frat party guest. Yes, we proved that Pietro could be more of an ass! Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it, kiddo.

Summary: Something a bit different than my usual fare. Hope you like it. (It's RoLo...how could you not?) :P

I had to review this twice. I'm never disappointed when I read your stories. This was a pleasant surprise. Everything about it just drew me in. 'Ro and Logan's 10 year mission to find justice/peace, Blade, the flashback, etc. Loved it!

RoLo + vampires = Me on the edge of my seat

Author's Response: Thank you sooooo much **hugs** More soon. I think...lol.
