Mille Grazie!

This is where I say thanks to everyone who's helped me in this whole fanfic adventure (watch out! it gets kinda mushy)...

To Dot, Meg, Jen and Pete, without whom I am nothing as a writer. Without the generous gift of their time and editorial expertise, my stories would be a lot worse than they are.

Dot - you've always got the insight on how to make things sharper and better written; without your invaluable advice when I first started writing fic, I doubt I'd still be doing it. Plus, you keep my instincts for melodrama in check.

Meg - you always seem to have a different angle, you make me see things in a new way; plus you keep me from being too abstract and remind me to tell my readers what's going on in my head instead of making them figure it out themselves.

Jen - my grammar and punctuation mentor, you remind me that my characters have to stay in character, and that angst is always a good antidote to mush. You and Dot both keep me from being a melodrama queen, even though I have tendencies in that direction.

Pete - for the lovely stories of the Summers family you've shared; I thank you for being my guide to the twisted history that is the X-Men canon (and its various offspring), for making me think through why Rogue should take Logan back after he's been such an asshole, and for generally helping me out with keeping the characters in character, as well as building the first version of this website, and signing up when I proposed the crazy idea of Unfit For Society.

Youse gusys rock, and don't ever forget it!

Thanks also to the lovely and talented Shadowy Moon, who made me some buttons and banners. She's a whiz at graphics, while I, sadly, am not.

I'd also like to thank Leslie, for encouraging me to write, even at my lowest point, and putting up with Logan/Rogue chatter for hours on end at work and on the road -- thanks for seeing X-Men with me, even though you wanted to see something else (though I still haven't forgiven you for the nausea that night).

Everyone who's sent me feedback or encouragement or recommendations for other sites/fics, thanks so much. Everyone who's sent suggestions on how to improve my writing, thanks!

Smoochies,

victoria
