Hi everyone!

I need fanfic advice! It's been a long time since i read x files fic and the computer where I had all the fics died some months ago.

Anyway, I'd like you to rec me the x files fic classics (MSR), those fics, those authors, that i must read and that every fan of this show has surely read.

Thanks!!!

The X-Files Lost & Found Board has a series of FAQs that might be of help ( ... )

Hey, I just wanted to stop and say a quick thank you so much for your recs. They've been solid gold. I've been an XF fan for years, but I just started getting into the fic, and there's so much out there, it's near-impossible to sort through. Guidance is much, much appreciated. I've been reading through your personal recs, and they're awesome.

So many thanks for keeping me busy reading and for taking the time to guide sort-of-newbies in the XF fandom. :-D

"Playing Goddess" by Shalimar for fabulous smut (NC-17)
"Infinitesimal Illumination" by KatyBlue, best non-smut characterisation hands down. Really subtle and moving.
"Perfect" by Anjou's Speechless series is pretty fabulous, also NC-17 from memory. A new spin on the Mulder we know.

In terms of the best of all time, my vote is for the above story by KatyBlue. I remember crying when I first read it - and again, several years later. It's really a beautiful portrayal of M&S's friendship.

I was originally a no-romo, but I came to be a later-in-partnership romo. I don't know what the classic MSR's list would include, but I'll check out the recs you received. If you like a little [or a lot] of humor in your MSR - I love A Detour to Felicity by Syn in which Mulder panics when Scully says I love you post Detour. It's at ftp://ftp.gossamer.org/stories/d/. A really angsty piece about Scully's "oh brother" in Triangle is The World's Only Living Hearty Donor by Red Tyger at ftp://ftp.gossamer.org/stories/w ( ... )

Thanks so much for making this post. It's been a fantastic source of good fic. I've been an XF fan for a long time, but I just started reading fic - what with the film and my rewatching the series - and it's so hard to sort through all that's out there. So I appreciate that you made this post, because you're not the only needing fanfic advice. Thank you!
