science v mysticism
I'm giving a paper on the two X-Files porn parodies and their relationship to the series and fanfic next week, and I was wondering if anyone has seen either of these (the second, especially) and what your thoughts are.

I wrote about the first one when I watched it ages ago (on my journal, here) and gave a paper on it a few years back, which I'm drawing on for this conference and which can be found here.
8th-Feb-2013 05:18 pm - Bardsmaid
Memento Mori - Hallway hug
I'm not even sure where to begin, in writing this.

On Monday evening I received some terrible news. Our friend, our fellow X-Phile, our extraordinarily thoughtful and talented writer bardsmaid has passed away.

Frankly, I'm at a loss for words, and have been ever since her daughter thoughtfully called me that night. I have so much more to say, and will definitely take some time to write up a proper, thorough post about bardsmaid and what she meant to me as a writer, an X-Files fan, and as a beloved friend. After all, one of the great foundations of my friendship with Susan was our shared love of thorough feedback and the marvelous details of life. So she deserves a thorough post.

:)

But it's going to take me some time to gather my thoughts and put them together.

In the meantime, I will refer you to this post, where Susan's daughter Annie has written a message and beautifully presented a remarkable quote from Susan herself about the loss of loved ones, carrying them with us, and about how we look at life. It's wonderful food for thought.

If you are so inclined, please leave a message there on bardsmaid's site. That way, all the messages from us will be in one place for her family to read and perhaps find comfort in.

And if you want to do something in memory of Susan, I can think of no greater thing than to go over to her website and read her writings and X-Files fanfiction. She loved when people would read her work and send her a quick note, letting her know what they thought of her stories. It meant the world to her. So I think if you're looking for a way to honor her, that would be a great way to do it. Read and enjoy!

All the best,
Sherry
aka Sinkwriter

P.S. Now that Annie has posted something official, I promised her that I would get the word out to all the places where Susan was a member, in order to reach as many of her online friends as possible. Therefore, deepest apologies if you end up reading this repeatedly today on various XF sites. I just didn't want to miss anyone.

David and Gillian in bed
As some of you already know, Porn Battle XIV has begun. You have from now until the 30th of January to write and post your fic. For your convenience, under the cut are all of prompts for The X-Files and for RPF: The X-Files. There are some for nearly every pairing I could imagine, and plenty for pairings I hadn't, too, as well as some intriguing Stargate SG-1 cross-over ideas. I, for one, would love to read some Freya/Anise/Fox Mulder smut muffins.

In case anyone was uncertain about it, you don't have to write explicit sex scenes for these. Fade to black is fine. Fade to black is more than fine.

We're on day nine of 12daysofxfiles. So far, we have five new stories, two small sets of icons, a set of recent fic recs, a set of meta recs and courtesy of Texts from the Lush Basement, some very funny Tumblr-style macros.

Oh, yeah. Also verses 1-9 of The 12 Days of X-mas by yours truly. Stay tuned for verses 10 through 12.

There is still time to contribute, but you need to join the community for posting privileges. Or you can just watch the community and cheer us on.

By complete coincidence, tomorrow is the sixth annual More Joy Day. So head on over and spread some joy!

22nd-Dec-2012 12:32 am - Beta Reader
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a new beta reader as my friend is working two jobs at the moment and doesn't have the time any more. I have a big fic in progress with several chapters sat waiting for a beta read, I'm struggling to motivate myself to carry on writing as these chapters have been sat around so long now.

If anyone is interested or knows someone who might be, the fic I'm working on is at:  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7306773/1/Dana-s-Choice and I have several others up there too. 

Thank you,

science v mysticism

12daysofxfiles


Why 12 days of X-Files?

Because we're obsessed. Because we miss xf_santa. Because we want Philes everywhere to have another place to celebrate The X-Files, "in the bleak mid-winter."

Because wendelah1 is positive some wonderful fan writer somewhere once wrote a Phile version of "The 12 Days of Christmas." Now, if only she could find it...

The 12 Days of X-Files will run from January 1-12. This is completely arbitrary.

All fanworks are welcome: fanfiction of any length from a double-drabble on up (that's two hundred words); fanart, including icons, banners, and story illustrations; fanmixes and fanvids of any length; podfic would be great. Why isn't there more podfic of our stories? Meta? Absolutely! Episode reviews? Fantastic! Fanfic recs? You betcha. If you only have time to make five icons, post 'em. No theme is necessary. Every episode and character is fair game.

There is a sign-up sheet here, but if you forget to sign-up, and you are a member, and you still want to post on a particular day, it's all good. Just let us know. Anyone can sign up for any day. No limits. It would be lovely if every day was covered but I have a contingency plan if they aren't. See you there.

Awww...I don't know about you, but seeing Anderson in front of that FBI flag....my throat went tight, it's like seeing Scully after years of absence.

Sunshine, you need a haircut.

26th-Oct-2012 01:06 pm - Het Shippers Cage Match
The ship to sink all other ships


It's the last round of the Cage Match at the het_reccers community. Having narrowly squeaked past Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy in the fourth round, our beloved Mulder and Scully have found themselves facing the most popular het ship from the megafandom of the moment The Avengers, Natasha Romanoff/Clint Barton, and I am sorry to have to report, they are getting crushed by them.

I'm not here to bash another fandom's ship. I'm sure both characters have a lot to recommend them. Superheros are superheros for a reason, after all. But Mulder and Scully have taken on their share of enemies, too. The X-Files fandom back in the day invented the term "shipping." Whether people are aware of it or not, this was the mothership of internet fandom.

The X-Files was at one time a huge worldwide fandom. I believe we still have a large, if diminished presence here on LiveJournal. If even a tenth of this community goes over to the Cage Match and casts their votes for Mulder and Scully, they can still win this thing as I believe they deserve to do. While you are there, if you have any het ships, you might like to check out the place. It's a fun, active LJ community.

X-F - Hands on Bat


Not everything dies Mr. Mulder.

Sing-Happy who hangs out on Haven, has created a webiste called Fics To Go where people request fics they would like to have in ebook format. I think it's an absolutely awesome idea and squealed like a flayed bunny on crack when I saw that Iolokus was available in one, yes ONE big mother of a mega file.

So I iz pimping.

And if below you let me know which are your favourite XF fanfics, the ones you would love to own in ebook format, I'll collate a list and will pass it on to Sing Happy.
