Thanks to all who voted in my poll re: story reruns. Although the turn-out was low, the trend seemed clear enough: the vast majority of voting members were fine with reruns. If you feel differently, now is your time to let us know. I'll leave the poll open until I figure out how to close it. Ahem.

i'm sorta unwilling to delve into what it means about mulder that he wouldn't tell his clone sister that she is in fact his sister but i'm fascinated and in love with the idea. i agree that it is a bit ooc but i was not put off by the issue at all.

Which is why one is forced to wonder if on some level he must have known it would, or even wanted this to happen.

By not put off, I assume you mean you didn't find the story offensive. I didn't either but this story still feels like a tragedy to me.

I really like the way Scully is "used" in this story, even though she's not actually in it ("my wife Dana" and then "my sister"). I always wondered if there was some kind of link between Scully and Samantha (in the early seasons of the show I had a whole conspiracy theory about this worked out, but it's been a while), so thought the kind of transposition Mulder does of them in his mind is interesting.
I also like the way this fic plays with a fic cliche--Mulder as this happy, suburban family man, and turns it OMG HORRIBLY WRONG. Not at all an inaccurate observation of him, I think ("He wonders if all this time, he's wanted this."), but definitely disturbing.

I will give the author credit for her creativity, but this story is simply not to be liking and I find it very OOC for Mulder (not to mention disturbing, as I already said).

Also, a beautiful story. Prose wise, I mean. The ending phrase just kills me--it could work very well for just canon Mulder, too.
