-INTERLUDE-
A note from the author
Well, hello readers! I guess I'd
like to start my little note by thanking everyone who has read my
story. I know it's not the best X-Men story out there, and my
writing skill could stand for some improvement. But for whatever the
reason, enough people seem to be showing interest, and for that, you
have my gratitude.
I'd like to take this time in between
episodes to address some questions and comments, and hopefully give
all the readers a bit more insight into just exactly what this story
is.
First of all, I'd like everyone to understand that when I say this story is AU (alternate universe, for those who need clarification), I mean its AU. There is not going to be a sudden indoctrination into a more familiar "x-men" world. This is a place where there's very little in the way of super-level technology, extraterrestrials, and "that's not Jean Grey, it's just an all-mighty cosmic entity" syndrome.
Simply put, this is story is my take
on the X-Men- it's me using Marvel's characters and seeing what
directions I can push them in. One of the big changes I made in this
respect is the Jean/Scott/Remy relationship. I understand that no
pairing is more "X-Men" than Jean/Scott, and one of the things I
wanted to play with is what it would be like if their relationship
had been broken with no chance of repair. It seems this idea is
difficult for some people to wrap their heads around, so let me just
put this out there- in the world of "Mutant High," Scott is gay.
He only dates men. He and Jean will not get back together at any
point. (Mind you, Jean will not be alone forever- she'll become
quite the man's lady later in the story.)
For those of those
who's issue lies not in the fact that Scott and Jean are not
together, but rather, that Scott is with another male, well, tough.
This story isn't for you, then I guess. I don't know what to say.
As well, there have been a few
concerns regarding the Scott/Remy relationship, due to the fact that
they are evidently, according to new X-Men comics, related. Again,
this story is not based 100 off of the comics, and as an X-Men fan
who was introduced to the X-Men through perhaps every medium but the
comics, I was totally unaware of this. For the sake of the story,
Remy's parent's are Mr. and Mrs. LeBeau, not Scott. (And I am
aware that there are no "Mr. and Mrs. LeBeau", but you get the
point, I'd hope.)
Before I finish, I'd like to thank you all
again for reading Mutant High, and if you have any further questions,
just leave a comment! I don't bite, and I'll try to write you
back with an answer.
Enjoy!
