Well! As a future educator, I'm sorry to be contributing to academic shirkery, but I am also quite flattered!

I hope you'll let me know if you write your Mulder/Diana fic. I wrote one and expected to be eaten alive for it, but I actually got a very good response, and it's nice to see other people tackling less popular subject matter as well.

[aloysiavirgata]

You should go for it, honestly. Samson ended up being one of my favorite pieces I've written.

Don't worry about what other people think. ♥

Well done!

I'm trying to find words for the ways I like this story, and they're failing me. It feels... simple, elegant, painful... Those aren't quite right. But you've woven this together very well.

[aloysiavirgata]

Thank you very much! It's funny, because I feel similarly about it. I don't even know what tone I was going for. It just sort of wrote itself, you know?

[jenrose1]

The best ones generally do.

Thank you very much, and welcome to the fandom! It's so nice to see new blood, and I am well pleased that you enjoyed this.

This was lovely!

Thanks!

Yeah, if that's not "canon" for the Mulder backstory, I think I prefer it, anyway.

Excellent story! Love the detail and the characterization and, well, everything.

[aloysiavirgata]

Thank you very much! I'm so glad the backstory worked for you. All that mystery was too tempting to resist.
