It's too quiet around here, folks.
I just finished reading this next story, nominated by
infinitlight. It's a carefully researched casefile, a very good one, if a little on the graphic side for me. (Damn. Why am I such a light-weight?) As it unfolds, it gets better and better, and has memorable climax and denouement. I'm classifying this as gen fic, Teen-for

Although there is wit in the author's commentaries I feel that the banter seems a bit, what?, maybe *raw.* It's probably a result of taking the ship so for granted after twenty years or whatever, but when Mulder gets funny here I just can't hear sly DD saying it. "I've gotten lucky already...."Not that way." "Alt.sex.FBI.redheads." Keeping his knowledge of French secret from "the French people'? It all sounds pretty high-school awkward. However, when M tells S that he owes her, her "I'll put it on your tab" rings true. Scully deserved better lines than she got.
Sorry to sound so critical. I really thought it was a respectable effort, and I'd never run across it before.

Some of the banter was a little immature sounding. Gosh, if banter isn't the hardest thing to write for them. They are so smart and so witty on the show. Not all of us measure up to Kel.
This was indeed a well-plotted casefile, up to Syntax6 standards in my book, minus the MSR that's practically mandatory now.

On the series most of the time when Mulder is working, he's intense, he's focused, he's obsessed but he's completely functional.There is nothing in canon--except "Grotesque," which is only one episode, to support their fanon yet it was taken as gospel for a long, long time. It was a very popular story that influenced characterization in fic.
