Plaid, Leather and A Flag Pin:
My Exclusive Mike Logan Fan Fiction Page
Well, hello Law & Order fans, particularly those who think that detective Mike Logan is a real hottie---I'm transfixed by actor Chris Noth, who turned Logan from a cardboard cutout into a real, complex, angry and often despondant man. After all, he had been repeatedly beaten all during his childhood by an alcoholic mother. As if that wasn't enough, he was then molested by a priest at age twelve. I see Mike Logan as a damaged man who's promiscuity is more the result of his dark past than a burning desire for sex.
As for all of the other show's characters, they hold a kind of mesmerizing and are powerful in their own right. This site will showcase all of the characters of "Law & Order," with various combinations that you won't see on the television screen. I'm having a wonderful time extending people like DA Jack McCoy and his obvious devotion to ADA Claire Kincaid. Ben Stone, whom McCoy replaced when Stone resigned, presents a completely different persona on the show as the volatile and bombastic Jack McCoy.
You will find that virtually all of stories on this particular page of my site have one thing in common: Yes, you've got it, the inimitable Mike Logan. I wanted to create a fan fiction site just for detective Mike Logan. Of course, all of the other characters of "Law & Order" appear in these works, but my main focus is on that dashing guy with the beat-up brown leather coat, those tartan ties, all topped off by a little flag pin. So if you're hungry for Logan fiction, you've come to the right place.
Attention
I must apologize, first for moving this site---it really bothered me that I had spelled "feisty" wrong and so finally, I summoned the ambition to put the entire site here instead, where the word is spelled correctly. As I went over the site with a fine tooth comb, I noticed that there were some typographical errors that made it impossible for you to access the stories here. Well, that has been remedied and you should find it much easier to click on the various tales. Again, I am sorry for all the confusion and mayhem. Thanks.
Through reading these stories, you'll discover things about this enigmatic character that you'd never known before. This is your one-stop place for reading lots of literature built around the inimitable and terminally sexy detective Mike Logan.
I just love the character of detective Mike Logan and if you've seen my two other websites, you'll come to realize that the man behind this dark and brooding police officer, is none other than talented actor Chris Noth. Now, most of my family and friends know that I simply adore Chris Noth, the former star of "Law & Order" and "Sex and the City," and currently featured in the Broadway production of "The Best Man."
This particular page will have my readers delving deep into areas of Logan's complex psyche, to learn just what makes this man tick and how the tragic events of his terrible childhood have resulted in Logan's volatile and often self-destructive personality.
I am writing these stories in order that you might grow to realize, as I have, that much more of the man's explosive life should have been explored on "Law & Order." I felt that all of Noth's outstanding acting abilities were not tested nearly enough during his five-year stint on the show. So, since it doesn't look as if Chris Noth will ever get to reprise his character, either by returning to the series or having him appear in another "Law & Order" film like 1998's "Exiled", I have taken it upon myself to give you all kinds of stories and cybernovels that have detective Logan back on the front lines.
Do you think that you know all there is to know about the darkly brooding police officer? Do you think that everything has been written about this man already and that this page may be nothing more than a rehashing of information and situations of which you already know? If so, you are in for quite the surprise, for the Mike Logan I have illustrated and continue to create is not only three-dimensional, but a tragic figure as well.
I understand that one of the factors in creating a hit series that has survived for over ten years is due to the indeniable reality of presenting an ensemble cast, with the emphasis put solely on the cases that get apprended and then prosecuted without any "dripping emotionalism". I agree that it is indeed refreshing to find a television drama that doesn't present itself to its viewers as a nighttime soap opera, but still, it would be rather exciting and intriguing to learn more of what my own personal opinion and I don't expect anyone out there to agree with me. But that pertinent factor spurs me on to work on this page so that anyone reading my stories should get the feeling that Mike Logan is a palpable character with many interesting and sometimes disturbing traits.
I hope you will take the time to read at least one of the stories. Mike Logan has long impressed and held me in great awe, not only for his awe-inspiring charisma, but what would happen to him after his stint on Staten Island was finally up. You will see in my stories that I'm putting Mike Logan in many difficult and often disturbing situations. When it comes to this particular police detective, all is certainly not as it seems. You will find the handsome detective enmeshed in many, often agonizing situations. Other cast members, past and present, figure in many of the plotlines, but the main emphasis is on Mike Logan.
I am going to delve into the past, as well as the future, when writing these stories. It is my hope that, after perusing this website, you will come away with a better understanding of what makes this man tick and that there is so much more to him than meets the eye. So, with that, I will stop here, in order that I can present you with some of my favourite photos of everybody's favourite New York City cop:
Logan thinks he's quite the macho stud on his motorcycle. He even rides it to work now and again.
I stuck this picture in here because I really like it.
Mike Logan is seen here interrogating a suspected perpetrator, who's out of range in this shot.
For the sake of variety and the fact that I don't want to get bogged down with one item here, I am writing three novellas concerning detective Mike Logan, which will be posted on this site, along with a number of shorter works.
The first novella is a work-in-progress entitled, "Auschwitz Of the Mind: Mike Logan's Days Of Reckoning. Now, let me tell you a bit about what you can expect from this novel. Logan has had a very difficult life and one day, his carefully-constructed facade smashes into a million pieces. It's hard to picture the tough, rough-hewn specimen that is the charismatic, but angry detective Mike Logan, but believe me when I say that everyone, virtually everyone who's a member of the human race, has their breaking point. Nobody's a machine---we all deal with pain and anguish, along with the shiny, positive aspects of our existence.
Just click on the link below and read what I've written so far:
Auschwitz Of the Mind
Mike Logan's Days Of Reckoning I haven't begun work on either the second novella or the third, so I'll give you a detailed outline of the second story: Like my site, the emphasis is on Mikey, meaning that it will be told in the first person by the hunky detective himself. The prospective plotlines involve what happens to Logan when he falls head-over-heels in love with a beautiful woman, who just happens to be the cops' best bet as the killer of her philandering husband. Logan is torn between his job and his own ethics, but at the same time, doesn't want anything to happen to Gwendolyn Marsh. Just six months back at the twenty-seventh precinct after walking a dead beat on Staten Island for over five years, Logan cannot afford to get embroiled in a torrid romance with a suspected murderer.
Complications arise, as Lennie Briscoe, Logan's partner, takes an active dislike of Gwendolyn, a factor that drives a wedge between him and Logan. They even come to blows, prompting Briscoe to report the incident to captain Anita Van Buren. Although Lennie would have a good case if he had his volatile partner arrested for assault, but, having a forgiving nature, he declines to get Logan into anymore trouble than he'd endured already for the past half decade.
There are many plot twists and sub-plots in this novel, as the reader is taken on a veritable rollercoaster of suspence and feelings of dread.
Gwendolyn is finally found guilty, as a multitude of evidence drowns her protestations of innocence. To summarize, the woman is convicted on first degree murder and sentenced to death by lethal injection. Distraught and enraged, Logan approaches DA Jack McCoy, who'd prosecuted Gbwendolyn and calls him a "dirty, ambulance-chasing shyster."
Logan then decides to plant evidence which could implicate Gwendolyn's ex-lover. He's so expert at this sort of thing that authorities investigate and end up believing that Josh Ambrose, a thirty-two-year-old garage mechanic with limited education, is totally flabbergasted when he's arrested. Logan testfies against Ambrose and, after a fairly speedy trial, is convicted of first degree murder and given the ultimate punishment.
A jubilant Gwendolyn is released from prison and then she and Logan begin an intense and passionate affair. Lennie Briscoe has some suspicions that something had gone awry, but had no proof.
Well, I don't want to give the whole story away. There is still much to be written, involving Briscoe, Van Buren, Jack McCoy and Claire Kincaid in an all-out, no-holds-barred campagne to bust Logan's story into smithereens. What will the outcome be and just how serious Logan and Gwendolyn are about each other. She'd convinced him to lie and plant false evidence----how far would she go to ensure that nobody would ever find out the truth?
Now, here is a summary of the third novella. It is also written in the first person, but unlike the first, I am the one telling the story about my encounter with Mike Logan after moving to New York's Lower East Side. I've figured that it would be more inspirational to do my writing in such a vibrand and exciting city, so I pack my knapsack, withdraw most of my money and take the early morning Greyhound to the Big Apple.
It's the late fall of 2000 and the weather has made an easy transition from heady, balmy September and October days, to the wilder, more nippy wind and windy onset of what promises to be a rather cruel and savage winter. I have made the trek from London, Ontario, Canada to New York City alone, something I'm not certain that I'd really attempt, when you think of how many weirdos hang out in the city's bus station and how a woman alone in such a large, often dangerous place, can be asking for trouble without a companion by her side.
When I disembark from the Greyhound bus and ask directions on where the three-storey walk-up on the Lower East Side is, to prevent my trapsing up and down countless streets until I figure out which city bus or subway I should be taking. Fortunately, a police officer is glad to come to my aid and, after warning me about the dangers lurking on every corner of the Lower East Side, he even offers to give me a lift, if you can believe that. I take him up on it, as flagging down taxis is not something with which I am at all familiar and I end up being driven right to the front door of the walkup. I thank the two officers, grab my heavy suitcase and knapsack, then make my way to the modest little apartment where I would begin my New York City adventure of a lifetime.
My initial meeting with detecive Mike Logan occurs a week after settling in my small, but cosy apartment. I go out running very early in the morning when it's still dark and am soon stopped by two men. They aren't driving a cop car, so I figure it's somebody trying to pick me up, so I just keep on running. Well, the two men turn out to be Logan and his partner, Phil Cerreta. Logan asks me if this was an early morning run or a late night one and I respond that I was getting it in before starting work. I take note of how cute the driver is and am rather pleased when they drive me back to my place, warning that no young woman had any business running around in shorts and a tank top in a bad area of New York.
When we reach my building, I thank the two officers and give Logan one of my sexiest smiles. It must have done the trick, for Mike Logan gives me his number and asks me if I want to go out for dinner and a movie. I answer with an enthusiastic "YES!" The other officer shakes his head and mutters, "Mikey, you can find women in every conceivable place and time."
As it turns out, Mike and I soon become very close and find ourselves confiding in one another---deep and dark secrets which we neglect to let anyone be privy do. Logan finds that, for once in his life, he actually loves a woman with an IQ of more than two digits and is interested in other things besides sex. As Logan learns of my skeletons, I learn about his, including his hatred for his late, abusive mother and tough time he had all through school, due to a severe learning disability that had gone undiagnosed and untreated.
The major plot in this story concerns itself with Logan and his growing problem with a serious eating disorder. Fed up with Briscoe and Profaci chiding him about gaining weight over the last few years and feeling unhappy and ill-at-ease with his own body, Logan unwittingly enters a terrifying world from which some never return.
Here I go, telling you the whole story in the introduction. Let me close this summary by saying that a bizarre and terrifying event ends up not only testing our love for one another, but threatens one hell of a lot more than that. Beware of a truly shocking and surprising ending.
Each and every story feature that moody, smouldering specimen known as detective Mike Logan. In this little corner of the vast realm of cyberspace, you can revel in dramatic situations where Logan runs the gamut of emotions. I don't let him off easy---Mike Logan faces some pretty savage demons in his unending quest for emotional serenity. One story concerns the tragic spectre of AIDS, another has him suffer DSD (delayed stress disorder) from a troubled childhood, where he was not only beaten regularly by his alcoholic, uncaring mother, but then, at age twelve, a priest whom he admired and looked up to, sexually abused him, leaving scars that would never completely heal.
Along with the episodic novel, I am currently working on a plotline that has Mike Logan questioning his sexuality. Just click on the links below and discover what dark and disturbing demons plague him:
What I like best about Mike Logan is the manner in which he wears his emotions prominently on his sleeve, as the saying goes. He comes across as a macho, somewhat sexist man who likes to take control, but even so, his positive qualities more than make up for the negative ones. He can be gentle, sensitive and kind, but he really doesn't want any of us to know that. Logan's generation grew up with that wearisome credo, "Boys don't cry" and that philosophy has done far more harm than good.
In Auschwitz Of the Mind," you will get to experience Logan's psychological crumbling in great detail. Will he survive his devastating breakdown?
Near the bottom of this page are the links to many short stories, all Logan-friendly of course. A couple of them are finished, but the others have a distance to go before completion. I am posting them to give you an idea of what I am doing with this site. It's been changed and revamped this past weekend, so I hope nobody gets confused. Just sit back, grab a cup of herbal tea and devour these delectable (I hope) works of fiction. You may very well wonder why I put Logan in such drastic and stomach-churning situations. Well, although I love "Law & Order", we don't get to learn a great deal about any of the show's characters. Oh, we get bits and pieces, but nothing we are able to sink our teeth into, as it were.
I don't know about you, but I sure could use a "Mikey Pix or two (or three) so here we are:
There are several links to other pages, ones dealing with more than the show. For example, there's one leading to a page featuring "Sex and the City", where, as Chris Noth fans can attest, the best thing about the program is Noth's portrayal of a character who goes by the name of Mr. Big. The stories are a mixture of funny, sad and complex, because after all, even the characters on that show, have crises with which to deal.
There's a link that deals with satirical works for "Law & Order", along with other television shows, films and musicians, but that site still needs a great deal of work. I have a suggestion for another spinoff and it's link is also listed below. I love to write---and penning stories based on people who almost seem part of the family, particularly due to the ongoing reruns shown six days a week, thanks to the A&E channel. If it seems as if I'm putting Logan in terrible situations, well, I happen to like dramatic stories that will, hopefully, keep you reading. Well, either that or you'll flame me into a pile of virtual ashes.
I just want to pause for a moment here and ask a pertinent question: Did you ever wonder just what is going through each character's mind? The nature of this Dick Wolf production has been to put the credo, "Just the facts, ma'am." In other words, there is virtually no references to anything personal. Many people like it that way---they claim that if "Law & Order" applied the idea that we should learn a great deal more about the characters. Personally, I am torn between the two theories. Too much aloofness has a tendency to portray the show's stars into cardboard cutout status. On the other hand, delving into everyone's personal life would detract from a formula which has worked for ten years.
So how about straddling the fence and opting for the "leaning toward a happy medium?" Then, those who like the semi-documentarly style of the show and the manner in which it is presented almost as though it were episodes of the old "Dagnet" series from many years before would be happy, whereas those who'd like a little bit more than a peak at what makes these people tick, would see their hunger satiated.
Well, this comes right into my territory: Compromising tends to cause more co-operation and both sides, the "Fact Folks" and the "Character Expanding People," could probably work something out so that the show's characters are not so one-dimensional. That is just my opinion, for what it's worth, but I'd love to see Mike Logan come to grips with the often harsh realities of life. Nobody lives their lives in a vacuum, right? The "Just the facts, ma'am" premise was started by the show's producers and writers, then I believe that this tenth episode that's airing at this monent, might just cause a boost in ratings.
Well, that's enough of all that. I really should get on with what you can expect to find on this site. Most of the stories posted here are incomoplete. I just wanted to see what the public's reaction would be to altering the format so that everyone concernd could remove themselves from "android status" and writing about these people as they should be presented: Men and women with real and desperate concerns enable the audience to get to know them, as well as sympathize and think to themselves, "Gee, I've been through that." So it's not just people like myself that wish for palpable tales with falible characters.
Below, you will be able to click on to a number of stories, as well as that novel I just talked about. They deal, not only with crime, investigating and prosecuting, but rather, keep that integral part of the series and add a human and sensitive touch. I hope you enjoy the stories and will write to me when and if you choose to. Here's my address:
Attention Mike Logan Fans

She has tons of primo Chrispix and I must confess as to pilfering a great many of them for both this site and the other two Noth-sites, whose addresses are listed below. Here's a link to this extraordinary "Page Extraordinaire:

One more thing, as lieutenant Columbo would say: I have a number of sites which feature characters from both "Law & Order" and "Sex and the City." I am working on a novel which I fervently hope that the Apocrypha zine will feature. Whatever transpires, I hope you will enjoy these works as much as I love writing them. Thanks for tuning in to this site.
You may be asking yourselves why I'm putting poor Mike Logan through such trials and tribulations? Well, when I lie in bed at night and cannot sleep (I'm a chronic insomniac), I think up stories and situations where the hunky detectives gets into some dire straits. Then, his friends and co-workers get into the fray and help him. I really love the way that certain characters on "Law & Order", as well as Special Victims Unit connect and you can tell that they care a great deal about each other even behind the scenes. (With the exception of George Dzundza, who, from what I've read, was a royal pain in the butt).
I'd love to get your feedback on these stories, so please don't hesitate to write. Hey, I can take criticism---in fact, I am grateful for it. How else does a writer learn? My address is here:
Here are some more fan fiction sites of mine---I LOVE to write, particularly stories concerning my favourite "Law & Order" star, the inimitable detective Mike Logan, along with "S*x and the City's Mr. Big.
