Author's Rant: Wow. So for this one chapter I've gotten more reviews than I could even imagine. And for some of them there are many four-letter words that come to mind. However, this chapter served its purpose. It got exactly what I wanted accomplished. It got a reaction. Yes in my story Rogue is a bitch and it's completely out of character from the original x-men series. However this is fan fiction. I'm not pretending I can write for Marvel, and I'm sorry that Rogue didn't live up to your standards, but she's not real. She is a character and in this story she's not a very nice character. And because this is fan fiction I have the ability to tweak her character into something I wanted. And let me put this out there. This story was never about Rogue. This was a story about Gambit's relationship with the daughter that I made up. And yes, I do realize that Kale is childish. That was on purpose. I know she whines and complains and over reacts. So did I when I was 13. And while I appreciate that many of the readers have a lot of faith in the human race and believe that no one can be that mean, I don't. I know for a fact that I can be that mean and vindictive. Yes this story was one-sided and you didn't get the whole story. And unfortunately that's life. People only see things from their point of view based on the information that they have been given to work with. While many fanfics show both sides of the story, I decided not to because it didn't seem realistic to me. And yes, everyone was out of their basic character, but if we really wanted to get down to it and be religiously faithful to the comics, there would be no Kale. This is an Alternate Universe Fic; I apologize for not stating that sooner. Now, altering Rogue to make my character seem better? Rogue was viewed by a daughter that she abandoned, thus shed in a different light. Had Rogue done this in the comics before she became everyone's best friend, people would be singing a different tune. This is set from Kale's point of view, if it were set from someone else's I'm sure there would be a completely different story. But while you were so set on destroying my character, you failed to see the 38 plot holes. Yes, 38. I counted them myself.
I will continue this story if people want to read more. The sequel is almost done and there's a companion piece that goes along with it. If you don't want to read them, tell me and I won't bother posting them. If you're sick of this story and want a different one with different characters and everything, tell me. I have a whole bunch.
Now I have to do a couple shout-outs because while many people were just saying whether they liked it or not, a few went out of their way to actually criticize the writing, not just the story.
J.Sparrow - Even though this doesn't count because we're pretty much the same person. Congrats, you get to pick which story I post next!
WiccaMage - Thanks for reviewing the whole way through, not just when you were pissed.
Christy S - You put a lot of ideas in my head.
SavageLove- For making me question my own writing. And defending the story like ti was your own.
Mag Carter - For harassing me to update sooner.
And everyone else who chose positivity over complaints.
