Harem Fanfiction Challenge: The Truth and Its Consequences
Okay, so it's been literally years since we had a fanfiction challenge here at the Harem. I'm not sure how many of us are still writing at all, let alone writing XF fanfiction (I know I am, and bardsmaid has been). But I had this idea and I thought I'd hand it to y'all and see if we can make something out of it.
After the end of The X-Files, we knew a couple of things about our Other Women.
Diana Fowley - presumed dead, with no reappearance after early season 7
Marita Covarrubias - alive and kicking. Made an appearance at Mulder's "trial" in "The Truth."
Monica Reyes - mortal peril in "The Truth." May have survived, may not have.
Kim, Skinner's assistant - Skinner was in danger, but we have no way of knowing what became of Kim, especially if Skinner (*sob*) died.
Shannon McMahon - supersoldier, fate unknown beyond season 8
Maggie Scully - alive and kicking, last seen at Scully's baby shower in season 8.
And of course, countless others. :-)
One other thing we know is that there will be another female FBI agent introduced in the new movie. All we know right now is that she's played by Amanda Peet. We have no name, etc.
Given the recent renewed interest in our beloved old fandom, I believe it's high time some Other Women fanfiction made it's way back into the stream. Hence, a challenge for you lovely ladies.
Length: 500-1000 words
Subject: The Truth and Its Consequences: The Other Women After the End
Examples: Maggie Scully learns about her daughter's disappearance. Marita Covarrubias uncovers another layer in the conspiracy with the aid of Jeffrey Spender. Mulder and Scully confront Shannon McMahon as they dig for more information regarding the 2012 invasion. Monica survives! Diana Fowley is not dead! You get the idea....
Rules: None, beyond the usual Harem rule of featuring an Other Woman prominently or in the lead role.
Deadline: XF movie premiere, July 25
Ultimately, I'd love to see whatever comes of this posted over at Ephemeral, but there's no obligation to do so.
I miss you guys. Let's play again for a bit, shall we?
