Not Just A Fluke
Thought I'd finally get around to kicking this journal off. Everything posted here will generally be dedicated to all things obsessively Phile-y, fandom-y and fangirly. You have been warned.
So since we first had news that there was to be a second X-Files film people have begun to talk, write and think about The X-Files in a way that they haven't in recent years (excluding the Philes, who just haven't stopped talking, writing and thinking since '93) and subsequently there have been some lovely articles floating around, some nostalgic and some analytical.
