Story 261: "Pillar of Salt" by Nascent
When I first began reading XF fanfic, crack_van was my, uh, crack supplier. I started at the top of the Memories and just kept on reading. "Pillar of Salt" was recced there by runpunkrun back in 2003. Unfortunately, by the time I found the site in 2007 or so, the links to this fic were broken. Eventually, I found a copy of "Pillar of Salt" archived-somewhere else-and ( Read more... ) -
Story 260: "Kinesthesia" by Amy
A few years back, I remember telling a friend that I'd been disappointed in most of the Mulder-and-Scully-go-undercover fics. She suggested I give "Kinesthesia" a try. She was right. This is a fun read. Thanks to discordantwords for the nomination.
Rating - NC-17 for all the stuff that makes mothers worry. Kids please read something else ( Read more... ) -
Story 259: "The Ghost of You" by Julie Fortune
Julie Fortune's "The Ghost of You" is a casefic that is also an X-File, and a very creepy one, too. At only a little over 10,000 words, it's less daunting than some of the other fics sitting in the nomination post. In structure, it reminds me very much of the much earlier fic by Jane Mortimer, "The Sin Eater." Mortimer's fic might even have ( Read more... ) -
Story 258: "SN 1572" by prufrock's love
I'd been thinking about posting this so when it was nominated by an anonymous lurker, I decided to go ahead. It's a major new work by a talented writer. Dear Anon, thanks for the suggestion. I hope you will join the discussion.

Story 257: "Samsara" by secondsflat
We're continuing with the theme of gapfillers, although "Samsara" may be addressing more of an emotional void left by the writers in season eight than a plot-hole. See what you think. For some reason, I thought I'd already posted this fic. Maybe I meant to and got distracted? I love the way it alternates the point-of-view between Mulder and Scully ( Read more... ) -

Story 255: "atlas" by sohmer
Commenting is fixed, thanks to LJ support.
Since my last post, Fox made the announcement that The X-Files is coming back for six episodes, date as yet to be determined. I hope Chris Carter has some idea of how to bridge the distance between IWTB and whenever he decides to set these six episodes. From past experience, my guess is he won't. It will ( Read more... ) -
Comment System is Broken
Hi, everyone. We have a problem. I was getting ready to post a new story when I discovered that commenting here is effectively broken for me. I use the same custom journal style for the community as I do for my personal journal, and I can't read comments here or there. While I assume live journal people can load comments by using using style=mine, ( Read more... ) -
Story 254: "This Her Fever" by Aloysia Virgata
I reread this last month when I noticed aloysiavirgata had been archiving her fanfic at AO3. I liked it a lot. "This Her Fever" is a connected series of fill-ins set during Gethesemane/Redux, which I enjoyed best for the sympathetic portrayals of the secondary characters: Bill Scully Jr., Maggie Scully and Father McCue ( Read more... )
