OMG best thing ever. Your reading makes it even more hilarious and adorable! if that is possible. I totally laughed out loud listening to it. ♥ ♥ ♥

ooooh, thank you! I was grinning SO HARD the first time I read this fic through, and by the time I had finished it was one of those moments where you just KNOW the story needs to be recorded, y'know? I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it - my favorite part was Raven explaining the various mutant characters she'd imagined. What was yours?

My favorite part was when Raven was trying to explain the necessity of her grocery-store metal sculpture:

‘It was calling to me!’ she argues with her Dad on the way back from the supermarket. ‘The muse wanted it!’

It's so very Calvin-and-Hobbes but also very X-Men--can't tell you how many times I've read about various bits of metal 'calling to' Erik. (Hee hee.)


EDIT: Woops, that was supposed to be in reply to the previous thread...
