This is just an Author's Notes to all my wonderful readers and reviewers. There are Spoilers to the second movie discussed, so, don't continue if you don't want to know.
I had this entire script plotted out, prologue, three acts, and an epilogue. I was posting as I typed it up. I stopped when I got news from some people I know in the film industry that the second movie would lead up for the Dark Pheonix story being done in the third movie. Since this script was being written as something that if I had good enough film connections would be sent off in attempt to it being used as a possible third movie, I decided it would have to be done now as though a fourth or fifth script. Because of that, and the myriad of ways they could lead into the Dark Pheonix story and end that film, I postponed completing this until I saw the second movie. I saw it on opening night, of course, and I am now rethinking my entire plot again so that I can fit in what I suspect will minimally occur in the third movie. This time I'm starting it soon enough following the 2nd movie, that I hope I will be done with it before leaks contradict its revisions. And even if it's not... well, I don't know if I have the patience to rework it again.
I will tell you this much... The main points will stay the same. I set out to write Gambit's introduction into the movies in a setting that involved Nathaniel Essex, the Morlock massacre, Hank (Beast), and a chance for Rogue to become more like she is in the comics. I hope to do the Rogue stuff with enough of a twist that will be suitable to her characterization and history as it has been established in the movies.
Hopefully, I will be able to update it again soon... I apologize for those of you who have been waiting for more.
Oh, and since I have so many stories going at the same time now, and a huge email list to send out for updates... If you want to be specifically notified when I update or make significant changes to this particular story, my x-men movie script called "X-Men: Redemption" let me know via email. For efficiency, email me (randirogue@aol.com) from the email address you want the notification to be sent to, and in the subject header type "REDEMPTION UPDATE LIST". If you want to be notified for any other of my stories as well, say so in the body of the email.
For example:
RANDIROGUE UPDATE LIST (if you want to be notified of all my updates, including my original stories I have posted on Fictionpress)
X-MEN UPDATE LIST (if you want to be notified of all my x-men related story updates)
CALLOUS UPDATE LIST (for just that story)
SEETHER UPDATE LIST (I think you get the idea)
This also applies for those of you who have figured out my other 'secret' pen name I've been posting under as well. Use the title of that story if you also want to be updated for that.
