Generation X Presents: A Short (and somewhat inaccurate) History of the X-Men by Jaelle (PG)
Hi all! I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dytabytes, although off LJ, most like to refer to me as Toast. Go figure. Anyhoo, I'll be driving your X-Men can for July! I've tried burying my way through reams of old fic in the dark pits of the Internet, so hopefully you'll either be seeing things that remind you of the 'good old days' or you'll find fic that you wouldn't have ever come across otherwise.
Fandom: X-MEN COMICVERSE
Pairing: None, although some canon pairings are mentioned
Author Website: Insane Musings
Why this must be read:
As the title implies, in this fic, the Generation X team acts out the history of the X-Men using a whole bunch of artistic license and the snappy commentary a la Jubilee. When you're part of a fandom whose roots literally go back through decades of history, the details of the 'Early Years' can become a confusing mangle. Heck, this fic was written way back when Onslaught was still fresh (around a decade ago?) and it still spans 12 chapters-worth of material.
That said, Jaelle did an admirable job in keeping things relatively true to history but funny at the same time. Sometimes the writing is a little rough, but mostly, the parody style of the fic lends itself to its subject matter producing, in my opinion, an amusing and worth-while read.
