This is incredible. Very haunting and painful.

I hope you mean painful in a good way. ;-) Wow, I'm thrilled my story had this kind of an impact on you. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Oh, yes, very good! (: I've never read a fic before that focused on Mrs Mulder or dealt with the time right after Samantha's abduction. I'm still new to XF fanfic, though; I grew up with the series but never was part of anything online related.

There are a few fics around where Mrs. Mulder is the main focus, but I think they mostly deal with her relation with the Cigarette Smoking Man. But she's not what you'd call a popular fanfic character, that's for sure.

Oh, if you're new to X-F fanfic, you're in for a treat. The X-Files fanfiction world is gigantic! It's the Kraken of this fandom! *laugh* And there are a lot of very talented writers around. If you tell me what you like I can give you some pointers. Or you can go and check the archives of the xf-book-club (click on the link "fic discussion masterpost".)

Oh, thank you! :D I'm happy reading just about anything at this point but I especially would like Mulder/Scully or fics that focus on Krycek. I love hurt/comfort, angst, romance, anything along those lines. <3

I'll go check out that link! (:

See, the thing about the X-F fandom is that like most fandom, 80% of its fanfic is badly written or mediocre teenage wish-fulfilment drivel, and a lot of poorly characterised porn. Gossamer the main XF fanfiction archive hosts more than 35 000 stories, and that's not even everything that's out there. So finding the good stuff is often like finding a needle in a haystack the size of a small moon.

Mulder and Scully fics make the bulk of it. If you're interested in Krycek, Bardsmaid wrote quite a lot about him.

Tell you what I'll have a think about it and will make a recommendation thread with the "Big Guns" later this week either here or on the X-Files com.

We'll have to know if you're more of a Mulderist or a Scullyist, since stories usually focus more on one or the other. :)

I expected as much, since in the few more popular fandoms I have it's a matter of time and patience to shift through it all and find the fics I like best.

Awesome, thank you! I'm a big Krycek fan so I'll check those out.

Thank you, I really appreciate it! (: I'm a Mulderist. :D
