Comment/Review:
Thank you for submitting to FFARG. This is certainly a very...interesting fic. It's nice to read a sex-based fic that doesn't use juvenile euphemisms for body parts and acts. As the previous reviewer pointed out, I just can't see Jean wiping out someone's personality and rebuilding it without some outside control. As for what the other characters did, I can't say much since it's been quite a while since I took even a casual interest in the X-men series (any of them). That said, this fic does a better job introducing its characters and showing who they are than a lot of fanfics. I got a decent feel for what drives Emma and Esme, though they remain a bit one-dimensional. You don't show much of them besides their sex drive and a little scheming, and that's not very much to build a character on. The dialogue between Scott and Jean at the end as...well...something from a second-rate romance or action movie.

Comment/Review:
That was awesome! I loved seeing Jean unleashing her wrath upon Emma! I'm somewhat shocked of Jean resorted to mindwiping -that isn't like her-, but Emma deserved her punishment. It was sort of poetic justice. And I love too the happy end to Scott and Jean. I'm a big worshipper of that pair -like or not, they are the most important, most enduring and more classic pair in the X-books and one of the most important in Marvel's story- and I'm very disappointed with the current books. I hardly find some current-continuity-based fanfic I like. So I'm very glad of having read your story. It's going to My Favorites list. One trouble, though. Scott and Emma DIDN'T sleep together in Hong Kong, so if your story happens before NXM 130, Scott hasn't cheated Jean (right how he shouldn't).
