Author's Notes: Part of the DDFH Round Robin

===================================================================

We see a camera being shakily adjusted, before we get a clear view of a

red bedspread and the white wall behind it. The soft, clicking sound of

high heels can be heard before Jean Grey comes into focus and sits down

gracefully on the bed.



"Okay, we need to get a few things mistakes out of the way here.

Actually, a lot of mistakes. But let's not deal with semantics right now.

I'll be honest, I hate the way that I'm portrayed most of the time. Nine

times out of ten I am cast as a bigger bitch than even Mystique!

now, I realize that Marvel seems to like me. A lot. However, that's

not my fault. Don't blame me for things I can't control. Like Jessica

Rabbit said, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."

It's not my fault that Marvel put me and Scott together. I had no

control over that. At all. It's also not my fault that they until recently

had Logan pining for me. Please, don't blame me for that either.

Now, that brings me too my second point. You writer's often have me

lusting after Logan, or seducing him away from Rogue. That's all well and

good, well I mean the first part of course. But then, you call me a slut,

hoe, unfaithful tramp, bitch, and so on, for even being attracted to Logan.

Where the hell do you get off saying those things about me? HELLO! Half of

you all lust over that Hugh Jackman character the same way! And many of you

are married no less! What's that saying you're all so fond of again? Oh

yes. pot, friggin' kettle, black! I rest my case.

Okay, now you've also gone and spawned an entire new fandom with Scott

and Kitty together for some reason. That's all well and good, but please

can't you at least write me being happy for them once?! I mean seriously, I

think it would be good for them to be together if they truly feel the way

about each other that you guys depict. I'm not unhuman you know, I do have

the ability to give up Scott if I know he's not happy with me. Marvel might

not see it that way, but I do. But please, just for old time's sake, could

you write me and Scott together once and awhile? After all, Marvel will

never give us a wedding, so at least I can read about an imaginary one

right?

It really hurts my feelings when I'm refered to as the IceBitch.

Really, I think Emma's much frostier than I am. Besides, I'm a doctor and

obviously I couldn't have gotten into that field in the first place if I

hated people so much. I'm always the consumate professional I think, and

I'm glad that at least that part of my character comes across correctly.

Speaking of, I had no control over the whole feel-unconcious-Logan-up thing.

I was rather irate when I heard about it, and I wanted to sue Bryan Singer

over it. I had no control over that, and it upsets me just as much as I know

it upsets you.

Do you really want to know how many times I have gone off and cried by

the way I'm portrayed? Even Toad gets more sypmathy than me! There are

only so many times somebody can hear bad things about themselves before they

start believing them. In fact, I think I should have my therapist send my

bill to your group.

So please, just take these thoughts and facts into consideration okay?

I'm really not as bad as you make me out too be. I promise. And no, I

don't die my hair. It's all natural.

Thanks for listening, now I have some business to attend to in the lab, good

day."

The camera is flipped off, and a resounding silence becomes present.
