Hi, there. I’m Erin (aka, “Niralle”), and I’m a big sci-fi geek who loves to write stories that I will never get royalties for. I’m an English grad, which means I’m poorer than dirt, and I spend my free time writing for a couple local magazines in my hometown, and working as an assistant the rest of the time. I’ve been writing fan fiction since the eighth grade…but I’m not obsessed or anything.

Check out my blog at www.erinjensen.wordpress.com.  I'm currently talking about the X-men sequel, "Days of Future Past" that's currently being filmed, including pictures and other tidbits that are coming out at the moment.  

In addition, you can sign up to my newsletter on my blog as well.

Until next time!

@WhiteMountain Haha--that's what I loved about XM:FC--you got to see both of them as young men and how this whole "frenemies" thing got started.  I've always liked both characters, but now...Charles is my favorite X-men and Magneto is one of my favorite villains.  Maybe when "Day of Future Past" comes out in 2014, you'll get used to the young vs. older characters.  And thank you for the compliment about my writing!

Your X-Men Fanfic is less popular than "The Falcon," But in my opinion, yours is much more well written and thought out, more proffesional. I also loved First Class, but for some reason I cannot help but think of Charles as an old, bald guy, and Magneto as an old, less-bald guy with a bulky, pointy helmet. lol

@Hogwarts_Companion Hi, Hogwarts.  Thank you for leaving a comment on my story--I'm glad you liked it!  I'm not reading much lately; I'm writing an original piece right now and it's taking up all my time.  I'll give your story a try when I get the chance.  Thanks again!

Hi there! I love your XMFC story and I was wondering if you could read and comment on mine, it's a crossover but it has XMFC. Thank you. It's titled "A Study in Mutants".

Hey anybody who wants a good story should read "The war of the flames". But I do have copyright on that one so consider yourself warned.

Hey, if you like X-men would you mind reviewing my story Kiss the Girls. It's like X-men only with my own little twist. If you like it you could share it with some fans as well.

@AlexRosora Everyone's different, but I prefer to finish the entire thing before posting and here's why--you don't always know what you have until you're done, so you might realize halfway through that you don't really like this character or that subplot, or the beginning contradicts the ending a little, etc. Second, I've noticed a lot of online fiction (especially fan fiction) never gets finished for one reason or another, and that's disappointing. People seem to get really excited about writing a book and then never give their readers an ending; I never want someone to get into a story of mine, and then suddenly there's no ending, so I wait until I'm done and post one chapter at a time on a regular basis (don't post it all at once--you'll never give people a chance to find it). It also gives me something to look forward to, you know? The idea that I'll get to post my story when it's finished.

About publishing...do you mean publishing on wattpad, or publishing on amazon or through a traditional publisher? If your book is fan fiction, then copyright isn't yours to start with, so you'll just have to chance someone taking your idea (although I've never had this problem--people are good at coming up with their own ideas typically). If it's an original piece, then have it copyrighted--I do this with mine. Go to www.copyright.gov (this is for the US), and spend $35 getting your work registered. But it is my understanding you need to be finished or almost finished with the book before you can do this--another incentive to complete it before you post it. :)

@Niralle ok I am having trouble deciding on something. I am currently writing my BIG story and it is my main concern. I have chapters of it done should I post it by chapter or post it all when in done? And I also plan to publish this and I'm scared someone will copy off me. My story will be called Chronicles of Caeokia: Alex Rosora
