Oh this is interesting. Looking forward to more. Curious, were you inspired by Hugh's new movie, Real Steel?

[kittenrescue]

It's mostly based on the 1979 film of the same name - that's the basic storyline I'm following. But Hugh's film 'Real Steel' was certainly an inspiration as far as writing a fic that featured him as a boxer. And the promo photos were also pretty inspiring. :)

I'm currently working on refining chapters two & three and I've started chapter four.

Very cool. I can't wait for Hugh's movie to come out. Been bouncy ever since I saw the trailer in theaters.

I'm glad to see people still posting Logan/Marie fics. It's helped keep me going on my X-Men Big Bang story. I think I am one of two writing a Logan/Marie fic.

I'm looking forward to that film too. I'll watch anything with Hugh.

I miss the days when the shipdom was at its peak with hundreds of fics and I appreciate the ones who are still writing.

So excited for this, Karen. I love the photo you found to use of Hugh. I love your visuals! On a personal note, could you include Emma in this fic? *pleading eyes*

Loving the men in this---aside from Logan, Scott and Pyro and Gambit, that's just a yummy batch of men. Geez.

I love including photos with my stories - whether they're manips created specifically for them or just publicity shots. It's all good.

As you know I was going to give the role of Logan's girlfriend to Emma, but ultimately decided to have Storm play that part. There really isn't any other significant female roles in this storyline - so if Emma does make an appearance, it would only be a cameo. (Now I'm trying to think of where I can insert her.)

Cameo works! Something to do with Scott would be lovely---hint hint! *praises you*

I really appreciate you being brave enough to look at my raw work. Your suggestions are always right on target. Thank you so much for all your help.

This Is really well written and I can't wait to see more! Keep going! :)

[kittenrescue]

Thank you so much. It's been so long since I wrote a new fic that I was worried I was too rusty to produce anything decent.

[mezzofides]
