Happy birthday, Scully!

Quick note just to say hi... I realized last month Scully's birthday was coming up but didn't think anyone else would remember. I found this comm literally a couple of days ago and was thrilled to learn just how wrong I was!

My GOD, but this is good! Congrats and do more, please.

I never understood The Usual Suspects either.

[malice_n_wonder]

Thank you so much! I'm happy you liked it! I can't guarantee anything, but I have a couple of ideas for case-type fics floating around in my head. Now that I feel reasonably reassured I can pull off the characterization, I might try my hand at an actual plot. lol

I think the The Usual Suspects is one of those polarizing films like The Big Lebowski or True Romance, where you either really like it or don't see what the big deal is about. I understand both opinions, but I have to admit that I, like 'my' Scully, am fond of needlessly convoluted plots enacted by pretty men. Come to think of it, that might have had at least a little something to do with why I first started watching The X-Files... I came for the pretty, but I stayed for the awesome.

Please. Don't make me beg. I am dying for new casefic. I'm so desperate I might have to write it myself.

There's a thread at Haven for new fics ie from this year that weren't posted to Ephemeral--may I add it?

[malice_n_wonder]

I promise to start on the story this week...but I write slowly so it might be a few before you see anything posted. It's coming though, and it will be a multi-chapter story.

Of course you can add it! Thanks for asking!

I'm excited that you'll be writing for us again. Should I link to here or to your journal or do you have a page at AO3 or ff.net?

I also wondered if you'd like an invite to another community I run, xf_book_club? We discuss fanfiction.

[malice_n_wonder]

I'm excited that you're excited. Eventually, I plan on adding my stories to ff.net, but I've somehow never gotten around to it, so please feel free to link however you'd like.

Hells yeah! Please send the invite!

[wendelah1]

I sent it. I can also send you an invite to AO3. It has a much simpler posting interface than FF.net or Ephemeral. If you want it, PM me with your email address.
