This one was great too - and the artwork is fabulous. People who can do stuff like that amaze me. Bitchy Rogue is funny as hell - loved the bit about Kitty regressing to a fetus, and the bit about Storm being appearance-motivated was quite poignant. Poor Hank. And Marie's Logan thoughts are ALWAYS good value.

Would love to see more of these if you are planning on doing a series!

I included the fetus bit about Kitty as a nod to the two really young-looking actresses that played her after Sumela Kay. My version of Kitty is always based on Sumela - not Ellen Page.

Marie's observation about Storm is based on that exchange in X3 where she doesn't seem tolerant of anyone not wanting to be a mutant.

Love the artwork!

Marie's being quite a bitch here, which makes sense because she was one in X3 as well. Very snarky! And I love her thoughts about Logan. Heheh.

I’m not your father … it wouldn’t be illegal for us to have sex, so come find me as soon as you’re touchable.

*lol*

She was bitchy about Bobby and Storm because they deserved it. She was sweet about Hank though.

Although I hated the way she was portrayed in X3, I wouldn't go so far as to call her a bitch. She was rightfully upset about Bobby and Kitty. Remember they cut the B&K kiss from the theaterical version - which I thought was a mistake because it explained why Marie was so upset.

I truly laughed myself silly the first time I read this. I was so thrilled when you posted it and I love Marie-front-and-center-fics. :) Amazing!! She's got some mad-ass points, here, lol.

Gorgeous fan art by Nadine, also! Great job, Karen! *blows kisses*

Love this so much!! I love the whole concept of Marie having a livejournal to bitch about the people around her. I would love to see more of these if you have them in you!

Would it be ok if I posted a link to this on my tumblr blog (fuckyeahrogueandwolverine.tumblr.com) along with the artwork? If so, do you have a link for Nadine so I can properly credit?

Thanks for the feedback. You're welcome to post it on your tumblr blog. I'm honored you want to include it.

Nadine hasn't been involved in the L&M fandom for quite a while. At one point she did have a deviant art page - although I'm not sure if it's still on-line.

I've written LJ entries for Logan, Storm & Mystique. I use these ficlets as a writing exercise when I'm momentarily stuck with one of my other longer stories - so another journal entry is always possible.

Thanks so much! I'm happy to include it! I'll link it back to this page with a note that she created it since I haven't seen her on deviant art.

I'll definitely be looking up your other entries in this style. Thanks for letting me know :D
