If you're having the 'my writing sucks' thoughts, read this.

[combatantwriter]

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

Rogue Fanfiction Finalists - Read and Vote

the key to not fanonizing your faves is to simply become academia-brained about it. never make a statement about a character you can’t back up with at least three references to the source material

We are gearing up for Rogueneto Week 2025!!! Only two months to go!!!! Here are the prompts for this year, but DONT FORGET we are doing EIGHT surprise drabble prompts also, which will be announced during Rogueneto Week.

Who's excited?????

[combatantwriter]

Meanwhile, us Rogueneto fans are literally minding our fucking business and not doing shit to them.

Rogue/Gambit shippers are obsessed with Rogue/Magneto shippers to a level I do not understand. Like go in the rogueneto tags or search rogueneto on most websites and most of the posts are like I HATE ROGUENETO SHIPPERS AND I HATE ROGUENETO. Like you guys spend more time talking about a ship you hate than the one you actually like???

Alright, popping in with my two cents.

I don't know what bothers me more, the fact that people are wishing death upon and cursing people they've never met for something as stupid as a *fictional relationship*, or the fact that this person who sent the tweet mentioned in the original picture is sending that kind of energy out without realizing that curses are *dangerous* for the sender as well as the receiver. This kind of behavior should not be glorified or taken lightly. I have very limited experience with curses, but the friends I have that have a pagan/wiccan practice all say the same thing: Tread with extreme caution or not at all.

Please, guys. I'm begging you to be careful with your energy. You don't know what kind of damage it can do to yourself and others.

And please, for the love of all deities, get a life. If you have nothing else better to do than to wish death and threaten people because they don't play with their dolls the way you want, then consider your life choices.

Someone actually tweeted that about us.  I don’t think their spells are working. 😉

Definitely X-Men: Legacy #249, aka the story of Dr Hirt. It's a wonderful moment where he lays bare his demons and horrors, and says 'this is who I am, I will not be upset if you turn away from me.'

And then they kissed and spent the night together off-panel ❤️ 🥳

Rogueneto nation what’s been your favorite Rogueneto moment or detail???

Calling all Rogue writers and artists!!!!!

Fine print:

To celebrate the anniversary of the first appearance of Rogue in Avengers Annual #10, I will be hosting a fan art and fan fiction competition.

Write any piece of fan fiction about Rogue, 3000 words or less, or create an original piece of fan art in the the month of July and let me know about it by sending me a message or posting it on tumblr with #rogueaversary to enter.

On July 31st - August 2nd I will narrow down the entries, then let followers vote. If you help get the word out about the voting, you can win a prize!

Deadline: July 31st

I will have several equally valuable prize packs for the winners - the winner of either fan work category that gets the most votes gets first pick, then the other winner, then a randomly drawn re-blogger of the voting posts.

In honor of the 44th anniversary of Rogue's first appearance in Marvel comics, there was a call to action to create either a short work of fiction or a piece of fan art honoring our favorite Southern mutant. The Savage Land arc is definitely one of my favorite stories of Rogue, as it shows who she is, stripped down to basics: strong, resilient, and not backing down from a fight. Enjoy!

Friendly reminder that if you are rude to someone who is providing you a service, especially over something that isn't their fault, I hope you rot in hell and go bankrupt. :)

Nothing has turned me away from the romy ship like Gail Simone and her cult following. I must be the only person who remembers her bashing Gambit back in the day about how he wasn’t good enough for Rogue this and that and now suddenly she’s the biggest fan and loves him but can’t do either character justice in her own writing or has any genuine interest in Gambit other then puppy dog lover of big bad Rogue. She’s always been sus as a writer and a pretty shitty person in general but lordy does this take the cake. The same woman sending people after other fans on X because they like a different ship, calling people predators for liking two grown adults together and claiming Rogueneto shippers are misogynistic and only lust after Rogue wanting her naked any time she with Erick is now writing straight up porn for engagement because the storyline she has is a flop, the characters make no sense and aren’t canon to the way they should be, the new kids are copy and paste of characters that already exist and have no real effort put into them other than background noise and she has the audacity to be having Rogue and Gambit drawn naked in every single panel after all her noise. It’s okay for them to be naked when she wants it, in a comic that doesn’t need that sort of thing and it’s written imo as targeted at teens and Y/A because she’s doing it?

Say what you want but I smell hypocrisy all over that mess and physically cannot look at it any longer, I tried hard to give it a shot but it’s a disaster I cannot wait to be over. Sad times when she’s the only writer willing to do romy thanks to fandom etc but I fully get the hate for the ship. Not a single romy fan has written them well, ever and by this point it’s not even Rogue and Gambit anymore. Glad Savage Land was good and I hope someone gives Gambit some justice in the new AoA comic and keep his actual love interest Lila as the love of his life. The character and fans deserve something after all these years of abysmal writing and making him out to be some kind of joke. Erasing Lila and Belladonna and any other characters for his is real weird from the people saying you’re a purist for not liking romy because it’s not perfect when them not being perfect was the only appeal. It’s the current fans who are unhinged trying to make out they’re in deep love and nobody else can have them at all, ever that are the purists who are doing any good the ship had a disservice turning people away from it all together. I’m a multi shipper but this is now on my nope list. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the couple but I did like the early stuff, now I’d love nothing more if both characters were never on the same page or in the same comic ever again.

Also very weird of her to be bashing Mags as a predator for loving ADULT Rogue and having a wholesome relationship with her where she’s shown to be more mature and in control of herself emotionally and physically because of the age gap yet has created a teenage child of Prof X who’s like 90 or something at this point when that was very unnecessary and really randomly done. What’s the age gap of Charles and Calico’s mom? How very predatory of you Miss Simone. Very on point for that part of the fandom.

Fanfic update!

I apologize to anyone who has been waiting on an update from me on my fics. I am in the middle of moving to a new house, and I start a new job next week. Stressed? Me? Just a teensy bit. XD I will return more consistently once I'm not drowning in boxes.
