End Notes:
Okay, so I
figured you read 133,000 other words I wrote… you might enjoy reading about how
it all got there.
It’s no
secret this is my first published fan fiction story. I’ve written fan fiction
previously, but never posted and usually in different fandoms. I was inspired
by the beautiful Magneto/Rogue fan fiction that Sionnain and Willowaus
write to try writing some of my own.
At first I just intended to write a
short story where Magneto and Rogue get together after X3, just to prove to
myself I could finish something I started. Then out of nowhere my story took
off with a life of its own and demanded a rich tapestry and deep character
development. The plot expanded further and further past my original intention
running away quickly to become a full fledged novel.
I’m extremely proud of this story.
It’s easily the longest thing I’ve ever written and probably the best,
considering the time and effort I put into it. It is, however, by no means
perfect. I have some major plot holes in it. I rushed the sexual tension to get
to writing the smut. I hope to develop the Magneto/Rogue relationship and how
exactly they got to where they were by chapter 18 through a few one shots.
I also did some pretty experimental
stuff in this story. A lot of you were confused about Chapter 27, when “Rogue”
sleeps with
That was by design. It was meant to be the ultimate plot twist to scare the
readers and keep them on the edge of their seats. I’m not sure it came out as
well as I intended. But I hope you understand the reasoning behind it. Without
the threat of
Magneto never would have admitted his true feelings for Rogue.
This story was beta-ed by my best
online friend KumaDaPuma. Her input,
support, inspiration, and pep talks were invaluable to my writing this story.
So much so the character of Jeri Kojak was named after her old screen name.
The best
part about writing this story was all the wonderful friends I made. One can
never have enough friends. I can’t possibly describe how much these people mean
to me. KumaDaPuma,
evilerk, Agent Silver, Chica Fayme,
PyroMac, PetiteDiable, Christina,
(If you’re not on the list… I totally didn’t mean to leave you off. I tried to
get anyone who reviewed all the way through. Your name is bolded if it’s your
FFN screen name.)
I want to
thank you all so much for reading my novel. I hope you enjoyed reading it as
much as I enjoyed writing it. Look for the sequel to start around November, I
think. If you want I can send you a private message to tell you about it. Or
add me to your author alert list if you want to know whenever I post something
new.
