Cherry, is there anywhere to read X-Men Fairy Tales online that doesn't require money or a credit card that you know of? I really want to read it after looking at the sample on marvel.com.

*Snip*

I see you already read it. ^^ I was typing up a reply to you yesterday, but my wifi was being so aggravating it wouldn't let use it for hours. Sorry 'bout that. I was going to say check your library.

Thanks <3
The snarkyness is one of the only things I didn't like about them when I started this; also, I started this with the mind-set of following Evolution; I was sad that the show was cancelled and at the time, it was the only X-Men thing I knew about. So I started roughly 3-5 years later and just let my imagination go with it(ending up changing a few things, mostly personality-wise). Although, what you read is pretty far along...I will go back and edit some things when all is said and done(you got the rough draft).
I've been mentally writing this for over a year and thinking back, a lot of little things have changed. What I watch before has a tenancy to affect how the character interact as well, as I tend to subconsciously incorporate a TV character I like into one of my three main character xD
I should have started writing it down after the third day(I often wrote fanfiction as I tried to fall asleep but it never got past two nights), but no-o I had to wait 'till I had been doing it for months before I even began taking notes! Now, all I have of the beginning are very vague notes; the note get more detailed until I finally just started typing out what I came up before bed the next day. Of course, work has all but stopped this; I am determined to get it all typed up so I can share and/or keep going. Once I get it all typed, I;ll make sure it's consistent personality-wise and all that jazz.

Yay! I'm glad to find some people who do that, too. (And I did the same thing with their relationship in my fanfic that you did with them. I don't like the "I hate you/I love you/I somewhat like you" kind of relationship they often have. I've dealt with stuff like that before. --Except not in a romantic way and way less intense. It's just too exhausting, and when you think about it, I doubt it's fun to be so passionate about disliking somebody.)
Evo was pretty much where I started too. I was an Avengers fan (and before that, a Spidey fan, but back then I wasn't that into Spider-man as I am now. I was just a free comic reader.) originally.
I also went through the "didn't write it down stage" of my fanfic too, although that one is about my mutant OC. (And the night-writing fanfiction, which I still do with my sister.)

Hey guys, I need your help.
I absolutely love marvel, specifically the X-Men (obviously ;P) and I do want to read some comic versions, but although I'm old enough to get into R-rated movies on my own I have absolutely no interest in reading anything overly...adult oriented if you get my meaning. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
I've read X-Men Fairy Tales and the plot was interesting, but a few bits were a tad...crude for my taste, but other then that comics are completely foreign to me.

I have the same dilemma. R comics are still a few years in the future (except I doubt I'll be reading much or any since I have zero desire to). It stinks, because Marvel is bursting at the seams with stuff I'd rather not read/see/or hear in the case of movies. How I get around it is reading kids' comics. T comics are often still too much for me, because I haven't been able to get my hands on many except too violent ones.
And before you sigh, there are *really* good kid (or all ages, which is what they're called sometimes) comics out there. Avoid the comics for Spider-girl and the Power Pack, though. (It's a large umbrella, but they're pretty much all bad.) You could try the Marvel Adventure comics. Those are the best, especially the graphic novels for Spider-man. I want a full collection of those, or at the very least, I want to read them all. They used to have a few free ones on the Marvel site, I'm not sure if that's still true, but here's the link: http://marvel.com/comics/series/866/mar ... 005_-_2010
For teen comics, I can't recommend anything, sorry. I don't read many T comics. (Except a recent-ish series where Spider-man is married to MJ and there's the creepy Ezekiel guy in there, too.) But I don't recommend that. I only read them because I got some free.
I'm mostly a TV-only Marvel fan these days, (because I've read all the comics at my local library in a year) and if you've seen Agents of SMASH then you see how desperate I am. XD

My personal favorite series is Wolverine: First Class. It's a wonderful tale of Wolvie and Kitty's adventures~ It's pretty great, and it was the first X-Men related comic series I ever read.

Some of the earlier Uncanny X-Men issues are great, too, but after the 350's about, it gets a little mature. It's a good series, though, and it really explains in-depth history about the X-Men and all that. It's pretty awesome, very nearly tied with Wolverine: First Class as my favorite.

Cherry -
Glad I'm not the only one xD
I haven't seen Agents of S.M.A.S.H. nor am I interested(not a Hulk fan; though he's ok in the live-action films); but if you're looking for an animated Marvel series(and you've seen all the X-Men already), I suggest Marvel's Avengers Assemble. It has a weird beginning but you'll get hooked if you make it through the first episode(if you're interested in an animated Avengers series)

Announcement! I

I started a new poll so you guys could tell me how to proceed with this "X-Story" (without creating a bunch of spam...)

Announcement! II

Congratulations on reaching 20 pages!! I never thought we'd get this far xD

[Cherry]

Yeah, I do watch the Avenger's Assemble. I wish they cared more about character development, but otherwise it's an okay show. ^^
I think I'd like to read your story in order. I do have a question though, do you skip around to write it? (Or did you not write a beginning since you thought it was only for you?)

[ChristainAnimalLover]

I originally started with the idea of just continuing Evolution...I was surprised when I realized how far I had gone(given that most of the time when I "told myself a story" to get to sleep, it never went past two nights).
So yes, I "wrote" a beginning, but I didn't start writing it down until three to six months into it. So vague notes and an extremely fuzzy idea are all I have left of the beginning. I think I can reconstruct it fairly accurately when I get enough time to really study and focus on my notes.
Also, I don't skip around generally. Unless I have major Writer's Block and a strong idea for the "future". Then I will do a small time jump and work on bridging the gap later...

[Cherry]

Ah, okay, that makes sense. Good luck with remembering, then!

[ChristainAnimalLover]

Haha, thanks <3
I'm gonna need it xD

So, looks like the winning vote is...Wait an unknown amount of time for me to finish a good chunk of the beginning!
Ok, I will work on it as often as I can, but I will not promise that anything will be "released" soon.

[Cherry]

That's alright, I'm the same way with writing. It comes out slow. XD

[Emris]

Cherry,
Trust me I never dismiss something purely because it's "for kids" Most of my favorite shows/books are technically made for kids xD
CAL,
Yay! I can't wait to see what you've written ^^

Oh and I don't draw humans but I attempted this anyway, it's my sad attempt at Marvel's style after reading most of this awesome pdf book of how to draw in Marvel's style /D

[ChristainAnimalLover]

That's great Emris! Better than what I can do <3
