'Conviction (1)'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
I was rewatching this X files ep again, and I just DON'T GET the people who want to write the fluffywuffy romance out of the angsty violent enemy slashy vibes.
You and me both, sweetie. I tend to call them "chintz curtains" stories, because inevitably someone will mention window dressings. This is where the egregious Mpreg lives, in this fandom.
Oedipus Paradox

Oh yes, that was you!
You know, re. IKEAfic, I was reading A. S. Byatt, Angels & Insects and going, huh, 'cause that is WHAT she writes. There's an obscene amount of interior decorating.
Only... it's A. S. Byatt. So it's good.
There's a good Skinner/Scully oost story called "Skinner's Case" that's logical and painful and all that stuff. Skinner has to go off and deal wtih a high-profile kidnapping case and takes Scully along so he has someone he can trust with the forensic stuff. It's all from his POV and you get to see him deal with sleep depriviation, bad coffee, the grungy details of a tough case, and that gorgeous red-headed woman who's got his back and is the only one he can trust in a bad situation.
Anne, if you don't take the ita bunny, I might try my hand at it.
There's nothing wrong with twin bunnies.
t g Cool.
Or even triplets...
There seem to be alot of weird AU stories in The Sentinel fandom. The whole different times/different places thing. There was even one that followed canon storyline but Jim was a woman, maybe Blair too, I'm not sure because I never finished it.
Um....say a person WERE to start writing utterly unwanted X Files fic out of the blue, long after all the X Files fic writers had stopped writing X Files fic and moved to Farscape or Smallville or whatever...and say that person were stymied by her own scanty knowledge of the canon due to enthusiastic but very erratic viewing of the source material over the past nine years but still couldn't quash the impulse to write something anyway...and say that person wanted to post such a fic and get some assistance with making it not entirely sucky - would this be the place? Or somewhere else?
