Title: The quest (2/2) Author: jaqofspades Archiving, disclaimer etc: see part one A/N: This is part two of my Willow/Xmen crossover fic for the movie fic challenge run by
( Read more... )
Awww. That crossover worked surprisingly well. At first I was a little sceptical, but I like it. Logan somehow managed to fit into that world, and of course he gets Rogue!
There's a few spelling mistakes scattered throughout and one of the sentences in the first or second para of Part 1 reads really awkwardly. Had to read it a couple times to get it.
Thank you. I wrote this in fits and starts, and must confess am not really happy with it. Just didn't get into THAT place, you know? I suspect its because I hate any sort of straitjacket, and because I chose to actually put them IN the general story, I got pissed off with having to stick with the story. Discipline. Bah. Thanks for pointing out the typos - if I'd seen the deadline extension on lucilla's page BEFORE posting it I would have asked you to beta, so think yourself lucky ;) Off to read yours now. Haven't read any fic for the past few days, feeling so pissed with this piece. J.
I can understand why you would have become frustrated with having to stick to the movie plot. Still, for a fic that you hated - came off kinda well! I didn't even there was an extension! I write mine in like... an hour! I freaked out 'cause I'd forgotten about it and then this story came out and now it won't leave me alone! I've unintentionally created yet ANOTHER series. I don't know why I bother saying I shouldn't/don't write series. Everything ends up as one eventually!
You probably need a bit more distance from the piece before you can read it without becoming pissed ;)
at last a Jaq fic....laenwynOctober 19 2006, 20:04:13 UTC
*sniff* god damn you are a storyteller in every sense of the word =) I so enjoyed this crossover, you totally nailed the characters (as far as I can remember because I haven't seen Willow in ages, but wasn't madmartigan played by Val Kilmer? And I could just recall Willow's voice lol) and Logan was so ... so typically Logan/Wolvie - no matter where he goes he's still growly and can't help but being macho and still the hero to save the day =) "He was Canadian. He could do this." -oh yes =) (and I still think your writing style is poetic and all the other things you're so good at but that I've already told you many times. Really enjoyed this =))

Thank you, thank you ... think you'll like the new one more though ;0 And yes, it was Val Kilmer. When he was still young, and very, very beautiful. Sigh. I was going to do something really different to this, but at the end of the day, my mental Logan just wanted to play with Madmartigan.
Oh - and I intend to get on to Coeur 8 tomorrow morning. Sorry to leave you hanging on that one ... RL's been a bitch. Annika has dropped her afternoon sleep so ... no more fic in the morning and study in the afternoon. (Or sleep in the afternoon). Oh well. Motherhood. Who'd do it, hey :)

Other than that, really good!
