That sign is pure genius, and so is this fic. Excellent, excellent idea and execution. (Also, this is the first fic that I've read that uses "Dana" throughout and is actually good.)

I admit, it felt a little wrong and dirty every time I typed "Dana." :)

Oh, that sign. Oh, their crazy compound in the woods.

I loved this. Ellen's take on Scully (and by extension, Mulder)was refreshing. LOL'd at the sign and at this line:

Honestly, she's such a little, innocent-looking thing, that when she gets really angry she looks like a leprechaun.

WIN.

The more I wrote, the more I realized Mulder was the lurking shadow behind Scully through these years--he was right there, all the time, even when she wasn't talking about him. Invisible Mulder.

You know Dana decked Ellen when she told her that. In eleventh grade.

Glad you liked!

I love this, it's so good to think of Scully actually having had a friend to talk to (other than Mulder)throughout the years that I'm promoting it to canon (in my own little world at least)

I know, Scully with friends! Mindblowing! :) Glad you liked.

Loved it. Nice idea and well executed. Hope to see you writing more.

[amalnahurriyeh]

Thanks! I may be a little slow in writing, but I try to keep them coming...

[hankmoodyblues]

Sounds like somebody else I know!

Ohmyfuckinggodinheaven, Amal. That was brilliant. Every word perfectly placed and shined to a high buff. I am such a sucker for a third-person view of M&S and this just hit me there, that place in my gut that's so damn satisfying.

I'm even more impressed knowing you wrote this with a new baby. Way to make the rest of us feel like slackers!

[amalnahurriyeh]

It's not that I'm any less of a slacker than anyone else...this just happens to be my slacking. :) I'm so glad you liked it!
