X-Files Fic Recommendations Post #1

[luminary]

HAI GUYS, SRS BSNS POST TIEM. I have to admit, I'm a total fanfic whore addict when it comes to TXF. I'm forever scouring the internets looking for good fic I've never read, and sites like Gossamer, Ephemeral, The MSR Fanfic Archive, and LJ itself have been invaluable in my ongoing quest

THIS MUTUAL FIC WHORE THANKS YOU DEEPLY FOR THIS ♥

EDIT FOR SOME FLAILS:

OH SHIT BB I JUST READ THAT ~FIVE THINGS~ FIC (I LOVE NUMBER FICS, DON'T ASK) AND I TOTES GOT TEARY-EYED. FUCK. THE POWER OF WORDS.

[luminary]

YOU ARE VERY WELCOME BB. ♥

ISN'T IT WONDERFUL? THERE IS SO MUCH TALENT IN THE XF FANDOM, IT NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME.

HI I'M IN YOUR JOURNAL PROCRASTINATING WRITING MY ESSAY.

and i'm listening to your scully fanmix from months ago and it's really not conducive to me getting in the writing mood because mostly it just makes me want to read more fic. or write fic.

oh fudgesicles, mah life.

ANYWAY, WHATS UP.

[luminary]

OH NO ESSAYS = EVIL. WOOT FOR PROCRASTINATION, IT'S ONE OF MY ~SPECIALITIES~.

Oh, I'd almost forgotten about that fanmix! I want to make another Scully one, but with happier music this time. Hey bb, have you ever heard the song 'Short Skirt/Long Jacket' by Cake? It's so HBIC!SCULLY. I WANT SOMEONE TO MAKE A 'SCULLY BEING OSSUM' TRIBUTE VIDEO TO THAT SONG RIGHT NAO. I WOULD MAKE IT MYSELF BUT I HAVE RECENTLY DECIDED THAT MY VIDDING SKILLZ SUCK ASS.

WRITE XF FIC NAO PLS PLSSSSSS. YOUR WRITING MAKES MY LIFE.

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK TOMORROW, I WANT TO SLEEP, WATCH XF AND READ FIC. WHY DOES LIFE ALWAYS HAVE TO GET IN THE WAY WHHHHY. OH GOD YOUR ICON ALWAYS MAKES ME WAY TOO HAPPY. SCULLY'S LEGS NOM NOM.

Ack, I've since realised that you can't link directly to fics on Gossamer. I don't know why, it's kinda silly, if you ask me. If you go to the main page, then click on 'Author Pages' in the sidebar, you should be able to find the author alphabetically by name, or surname if they have one. Click on the author's name and you'll have a full list of all their stories.

Sorry about that!

I just got a rec for Parabiosis last night! Does it have spoilers?

[luminary]

It covers the entirety of S7 from premiere to finale, but it doesn't really have any specific spoilers in it. A lot of it is AU, in so much that it's stuff that you don't actually see happening within the confines of the season. It kinda goes behind the scenes, and adds a whole new casefile that doesn't actually occur in the show. There's only really one major spoiler, and that's for the events of the S7 finale, and TBH it's only vague at best. I'm presuming you already know that M/S do finally get together... right? It's not exactly a well kept secret, but OMG KILL ME NAO if you don't.

That longass answer in summary, is READ IT NOW BB. IT'S AMAZING OMG.

Stumbled here while looking for Penumbra's page. Great list. I agree with a few of your choices. I'm going to add this to memories to see if I agree with the stuff I haven't read. I'm always looking for people with similar taste in fic than I do, but I'm an horrendous fusspot.

[luminary]

Hi there, thanks for the comment. Funnily enough, your fic 'The Lists of Clay' is included in my next recommendations post, which I'm currently still collating. It's a lovely piece of work (and very much in character for both Mulder and Scully), so I'll thank you here while I have the oppurtunity!

I hope you enjoy the fics you haven't read.

[scarletbaldy]

Srsly? This is great! Thank you.

I'm delighted to hear you liked LoC and that you thought the characterization worked. I wrote this piece after a very long writer's block, and wanted something low key to get back "in shape" as it is.

I'll let you know if I like what I read from here.
