What can I say? It's snowing, I'm on vacation, I'm bored. May as well revive the fanfic thread! This is a very good one (and fairly short) that assumes William and The Truth never happened. And this one has the dubious honor of being my favorite fanfic ever. So read it if you haven't. It's kind of a fill-in-the-blanks for season 7. And it's quite long, but well worth the investment of your time.

[Slippin' Mickeys]

Good recs, greenshirt. I'd never read False Memories, and Parabiosis is an old favorite.

ETA: Sorry, DD_lurve, I never saw your post from November. I had nearly all of my fic pulled from Gossamer. I think I only have one or two stories on there. If you want to torture yourself with my early writing, you can find it at my site. Thanks for the compliments!

I wasn't quite certain where to place this tidbit, so to the Mulder file we go...

I saw this while checking the AP wire for horse racing results:

<< NEW YORK (AP) - Spooky Mulder won the $52,000 allowance feature at Aqueduct on Wednesday, pulling away from Kazoo in the middle of the stretch for a 3 1/2-length victory. >>

Classic.

[Slippin' Mickeys]

Well, this is actually the fanfic thread, but that is pretty funny. I've always wanted to name a pet after one of the XF characters. One of these days I'll move into a building where I can have one.

[DD_lurve]

Slip, I never saw your post in January, because I've been off TWoP for a while, but I went to your site and may I say: You are a fanfic goddess. It's brilliant.

Also, word to the great recs, greenshirt. Got any more up your sleeve?

[Slippin' Mickeys]

Aw, well thanks DD_lurve! I don't know if that's entirely accurate, but I appreciate the sentiment. If you're not careful, talk like that could get me writing again. Which would be BAD. Very, very bad.

[DD_lurve]

It would be good. Very, very good. (At least for me. Maybe bad for you.)

I don't know if this is the right place to open this for discussion, but what the hell. Does anyone else find that a ton of songs remind them of XF? Or am I just a lonely freak? ;)

[ejluther]

All right, I'm going to dive into the world of fanfic for the first time, starting with Slippin' Mickeys site. But first let me just say something - this photo? Kicks. ass.

[Slippin' Mickeys]

Hell yes! That's my favorite DD pic EVER!

...Hence it being the first pic on my site.

[Kanel]

That pic is "currently not available" to me, but that makes me even more curious. Can I find it anywhere else?

[ejluther]

Why not try the main page?

http://www.geocities...03/slippin.html

It's the photo on the left, the one with the finger. You'll know exactly which one I mean...

[Slippin' Mickeys]

if you can, just copy and paste the link.

[DD_lurve]

Heh, that pic is hilarious... ejluther, welcome to the dark and twisted Fire-Swamp that is fanfiction. With luck, you'll never emerge from the other side. ;)

[Kanel]

Nope, that doesn't work either!

Is the internet hating me today or what??

[Slippin' Mickeys]

Nope, it's geocities that hates you. You'll have to cut and paste the web address into the bar. You can't link. It's dumb.

[DD_lurve]

Sometimes, the internet sucks major ass. On my father's decidedly ancient machine, our internet regularly completely demolishes the whole system. (I have no idea how... My comuter literacy extends about as far as 'Push button, program opens... Yay!')

About time for some more recs. Hmmm... This is pretty good, and I didn't even see Small Potatoes. But This is quite frankly one of the funniest fics I have ever read.

[Slippin' Mickeys]

Oh my God, that second one is brilliant. Why hasn't anyone thought of that before? Other than Helen Fielding thinking of it before, I mean. Loving it!

[QuaranteDeux]

I didn't even see Small Potatoes

*Gasp!*
The horror! That's one of my fave eps.

Anyway...I think that I've seen that diary fic before and loved it. It seems like I've been reading tons of fic lately, mostly just to fight this awful winter we have going on....and also to drown out my physics homework.

[Slippin' Mickeys]

I didn't even see Small Potatoes

How did I not see that the first time I read your post? I second what QuaranteDeux said.

[DD_lurve]

I know, I know... I feel very left out sometimes, because I haven't seen so many important episodes (like Redux I & II, Herrenvolk/ Home, the entire CancerArc), because of my pathetic lack of money for DVDs and the shameful absence of XF from Canadian airways. It's only on one station, once a week. Ever.

Glad you guys like the Bridget Jones one. I love it to death. Any more to recommend? This is a nice one.

[Slippin' Mickeys]

I was just coming in here to ask for more recs. I'm totally stuck and bored at work, and there are people in the boardroom behind me so I have to look like I'm busy. You know, doing work on the computer instead of reading these magazines or writing in my notebook.

So keep them coming!

[QuaranteDeux]

the shameful absence of XF from Canadian airways

What would I do without my DVD's? Not that I live in Canada, but with Track practice in the afternoons and lack of eps on Tuesdays (WTF is up with that?) the programming picture isn't much better in Indiana. At least for me.

Unfortunately, I have no rec-able fic. But I am looking forward to an update of the Bridget Jones' one.

Vile Tom?? Couldn't stop laughing at that.

Slip, have you read Midnight Mark-up by Louise Marin? It's a fun little romp. It's rated R for naughtiness. But it's fun. Wee! Here it is.

ETA: I can't seem to link directly to the story. So the link above goes to the page on gossamer that lists it. Maybe there's no way to link to stories directly on gossamer? I sure as hell don't know.

Edited by apeygirl, Feb 18, 2004 @ 5:59 AM.

[Slippin' Mickeys]

Sadly, there are few fics out there (pre 2002) that I haven't read. Midnight Mark-up isn't one of them. Totally read it! (and enjoyed) but you never know, so keep them coming!

I'm so effing bored at work right now, I drooled a little on my keyboard.

And it wasn't just because the hot intern walked by.

[apeygirl]

Okay... Keeping em coming.

Black Boxers and Strawberry Hair?

It's a parody of MSR sexy stories. My favorite part?

"What fools we've been!," wailed both in unison, their tears commingling to
roll down their faces, soak into their clothes, and spray around the room
to spot the many papers and posters that lined the walls.

Heh. It's just the tear-spraying visual. Get's me.

[DD_lurve]

Ha! That was pretty damn funny. I like the part about naming their kids, beacuse soooo many stories do it like that:

So that's what they did, and they had little Fox Dana Mulder and little Walter Fox Mulder and Samantha Melissa Mulder and Ahab Margaret Mulder and Skinner Mr. X Mulder and Scully CSM Mulder.

Ha ha ha ha...

[Slippin' Mickeys]

I always wanted to write a fic where they had a kid named Ed.

[apeygirl]

I'll read it if you do. I need new fanfic to read. I've worn out all my old ones.

[DD_lurve]

You can read mine, if you want... here. And here is a really sweet Scully birthday one. And this is a nice character study type thing. Disapointingly, no update on the Bridget Jones one yet. Oooh, and this is disturbing but good.

Edited to say, yes, I do have too much time on my hands.

Edited by DD_lurve, Feb 27, 2004 @ 5:19 PM.

[Slippin' Mickeys]

So I'm bored as hell here at work, and in an endeavour not to get written up for the second day in a row, I figured I'd do something completely innocuous like read some fanfic, which I haven't done in a while.

Tell me, did fanfic used to be better, or am I just a complete elitist these days? Because... wow. Little did I know in the last couple of years how pervasive badfic was.
