[desa1985]

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.

The main page is here: http://www.geocities.com/xflostandfoundfaq/

The Classics FAQ is here: http://www.geocities.com/xflostandfoundfaq/Lists/rec-classics.txt

My personal recs are:
"Arizona Highways" by Fialka
"Blinded By White Light" by Dasha K
"Dance Without Sleeping" by Lydia Bower
"Desideratum" by Rachel Anton and Laura Blaurosen
"Five Years and One Night" by Shalimar
"Goshen" by Bonetree (and all of its sequels)
"In The Ruins" by Lydia Bower
"Primal Sympathy" by Lydia Bower
"Skin" by Annie Sewell-Jennings
"Tempest" by Missy Pennington (there are 3 sequels but "Tempest" is the best of them)
"Volition Unbound" by Rachel Anton
"Worth Breaking" by Narida Law

The best places to start looking for the stories on the list are:
Gossamer (the Barnes & Noble of XF fic): http://krycek.gossamer.org/
The Annex (novel-length stories which sadly hasn't been updated in forever): http://www.annex-files.com/annex/
Dr. Enigmatic's Site (wonderful resource): http://x-files.bytewright.com/
Ephemeral (new stories): http://ephemeralfic.org/
XF Links to Authors & Archives (no longer updated but still a great resource): http://www.geocities.com/abfanfic/index.html

There's also the Lost & Found message board, if you have trouble finding something:

Happy reading!

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
