Because
niuxita21 asked, because I love me some trip down memory lane and because I need a distraction from the itch I have to click on all those pesky Castle spoilers, I give you: the XF TV Guide covers retrospective!
And okay after a closer look, maybe not all TV Guide photoshoots are epic...Especially the ones from the first years, but I blame it on the

It's to my knowledge the most extensive record of all X-F covers ever published. (though I do have a few French things that aren't there.)
The French mag covers were so shippy! Check these out:
I used to be a crazy XF magazine collectors. I still have 4 Ikea metal boxes full of mags. My Holy Grail being the Australian Rolling Stone, which I finally found on Ebay at a reasonable price a few years ago.
I adore the green X shot with Gillian. I have those three TV guides, but the picture on its own looks much better.

And haha yes, I remember the "Mulder et Scully amoureux" (well, the online version of it); the headlines of this cover are just cracking me up. It's so soapy!! :D
The Belgian ones were really shippy as well for what I could see; I'm pretty sure one cover has the photo when Gillian is barelegged on David's shoulders. Teehee.

By all means, if you ever decide that they take too much space, contact me xD. I remember a few years ago, a fan that lives in Canada told us on the gagc board that basically she was getting rid of all her stuff and she had already binned bags and bags of magazines because she didn't know anyone who would want them. (Needless to say she hadn't published a post about whether it would interest someone). I remember how much it shocked me because when you come as late to the party as I did, getting your hands on anything from the golden XF era was a challenge. And here she was, throwing it all way when some new avid fans would have loved to have a third of it.
I did manage to buy her Milagro script, though :D

Oh yeah, definitely my Holy Grail, too!! You should see me handle it, it's rather funny, really. It's like I'm expecting it to disintegrate in my hands ;) I've got the Australian version too (same photoshoot, different interview), than one of my Aussie Phile friends offered me as a parting gift. And then around 6 months ago I bought the RS with Gillian all dressed up like she's from some old horror movie :D
(hmmm, sorry I've been blathering on and on like that!!)
