I just follow the bouncing cottontail.
No! Leap upon that clueless bunny, wrestle sense from its twitching little person, turn it into a commentary on life, love, reason or the lack thereof!
Or, you know, porn.

Oh, there are normally commentaries on life, revenge, death, issues, etc. Or at least often.
I know my religious beliefs inform a lot of my plot choices/POV things. Of course, I'm not sure how that applies to the porn, but still.
What I don't bother to do is make sense of life, because life is such a nonsensical thing.

I don't have time to scare it up right now, but Livia Balaban, in XF, wrote a Happy Ending story set after Requiem. It's called Cunegund's Restoration, I think, and it's great fun. She did it as a challenge to herself.
Livia's got a bunch of very funny stuff, including two hysterical meta-fics about Mulder as a ficwriter in the mythical SETI Troopers fandom (which bears a striking resemblance to Enterprise).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Livia's fic. She's written some absolutely hysterical stuff. I'm fond of her angsty XF fic as well, especially "The Myth of Silence".

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
A show with a happier background (and I'm guessing that dueSouth may have that, without having watched it), is easier to write happy fic in.
This is the only fandom I can think of where I've written what I guess could be classified as happy-fic. But even then I try to be realistic about my schmoop.
This isn't to say most of my stories are dark. They more tread the line between the two, waver on the tone of the story so it could go either way.
I think. It's hard to judge your own stories, because you have a natural bias on how you've written them.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Oh! I'm not big into X-Files fic, but "Cunegund's Restoration" is my favorite of what I've read. It's actually what gave me the idea for the Farscape fic I'm currently wrestling with.

In other fic-world news, the April Fool's Day version of dymphna.net is really, really fucking funny.

Someone reassure me that if I AM going to a Special Hell for reading Snape/Hermione (where she's always over the age of consent) smut, that there will hopefully be other people there I like and get along with?
mmmm, Snape.

Sorry, Alan Rickman is nummy, I don't think Snape is. You're on your own.

He looks like an older and more bitter Trent Reznor (from the band Nine Inch Nails). That, combined with The Voice? ElderGothGirl heaven.
