It is practically original fic, you're right. I feel odd about that, like I should write more straight-ahead fanfic to prove I can work within those constraints. Maybe I'm being silly.
I've written a lot (or tried to write a lot) in sci-fi and fantasy genres, and never really had it gel for me. Maybe the problem was trying to write in an entirely fictional universe and getting bogged down in world-building, because I LOVE writing this way, combining the real with the unreal. That's part of what draws me to X-Men. I love Charles DeLint for the same reason, even though his books often piss me off.
Anyway, thanks. :) If I write any original fic of a manageable length, I'll post it and see if anyone's interested.
