Looking at some ELSEWHEN comments on other sites, and I’m struck by how many of those posters are still trying to cram my series into the “real” continuity. A disadvantage, I suppose, for those who insist on getting their ELSEWHEN from those other sites, and so miss out on the discussion here.
Still don’t understand why people resist coming to the source!
When Chris and I did the All-Xavier issue, we received quite a few letters of complaint. Typically they ran to “Let me know when the X-MEN are going to be back in this book!”
Of course, our whole point in doing that story was to emphasize that X was as much a part of the team as anyone else.
Working on ELSEWHEN I’ve found I use Charles much more than we did back in the day. Seems perfectly natural, somehow.
I like seeing the professor feature prominently in the book. When he was sidelined for so long in the comics, it felt as though the X stood for "X'd out of his own team." He's a major part of the current X-titles but has changed so much, he's not really the same character as the fellow we see in ELSEWHEN. I'm glad we have this guy getting his due.

Agreed. The Professor grounds everything in a nice way, and I am enjoying seeing more of him.
With regards to folks trying to fit ELSEWHEN in to Marvel continuity, I would take that as a compliment. They can sense the authenticity of your work and want to make it permanent.
The mistake is not just throwing all the stuff out from the point after you left the book because very, very little of it was worth a nickel. :)
And the current stuff...that's some other group of mutants with oddly similar names.
