Since the LJ thing is seemingly more cleared up, I'm gonna focus on that last paragraph - what have you found? I literally JUST finished one by mistyzeo (http://mistyzeo.livejournal.com/157526.html) and I'm reading a WIP AU - they're frat boys - that's pretty funny (http://gyzym.livejournal.com/101616.html).

I've always been a casual X-Men fan, just like I was a casual Pirates fan before I found you and some other authors. And, just like that (but on a smaller scale), I'm becoming completely hooked!
