Hi there! | She/Her | 22 | Hippie | X-Men fan | Legacy Marauder enthusiast 'Blood In The Gutter' was an X-Men fanfiction website created by Kelly 'Kielle' Newcomb (10/22/1972--9/22/2005), a prominant fanfic writer. The site was dedicated almost entirely to the Marauders, a villain group introduced in 1986 and created by comic book legends Chris Claremont, John Romita Jr., and Dan Green. The team is most fondly remembered for their roll in the Mutant Massacre storyline. They are mainly associated with the likes of Mister Sinister and Gambit. As a young X-Men fan since around 2014 with a weird fascination for these characters, I felt an instant connection when I first discovered Kielle and her work. Recently, I thought it would be fun to start a blog which highlighted the Marauders, as well as the works of Kielle and others associated with the BITG site. Here, you will find images, thoughts, and links to various Marauder-related sources, as well as some general appreciation for this underrated bunch of baddies. You will also find some other stuff I like from time to time... Input and questions are encouraged! This is also a safe space. The Marauders are NOT nice, but this blog certainly is :) NOTE: I am NOT affiliated with the original BITG site, its creators or its authors. I am just a fan.
