Generation X
"The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible and achieve it, generation after generation." - Pearl S. Buck
I would never have pulled myself up by the bootstraps and actually sat down to write Gen-X fanfic had it not been for Kielle's challenge and a chance remark by Indigo. Thanks, guys. Especially Indigo, for her demand... uhh... encouragement. :)

The Blood Ties Series
Stories about the children of the X-Men are often a much-maligned genre. This series is my attempt to twist some of the cliches around, starting with getting rid of (almost) all of the spandex.
