The Unsung Authors of Fanfic
Alicia Kamenick
was this weekend's favorite topic of posting, let's try this: who are
the authors, or stories that you've really loved? Now, many, many of us
have our standard list of faves -- the ones that are pretty universally
loved and raved about.
Let's bring up those stories or authors that don't get a lot of
mentions, or recommendations, or picks.
I've really liked...
..."Gris Gris" by Nicola Simpson (on Gossamer, I believe) A New Orleans
voodoo case with lots of delish UST.
..."Alter Ego" by CleverGrrl A M/S switch with GA/DD story. Kind of a
toucy subject, but a very clever story. No actors or characters were
harmed in its duration.
..."Anamorphosis" by Megan Reilly. A fascinating, dark "what if" story
revolving around Scully's childhood.
..."Any Means Necessary" by Ophelia. I don't think Ophelia gets
mentioned enough. Every story I've read by her is excellent. But this
particular one had the best portrayal of the M/S relationship I think
I've ever encountered.
..."Birth:Ocean" by JenRose. A beautifully written Scully-in-labor
fic.
..."A Bitter Taste on the Tongue" by Jane Mortimer. This was one of the
first ones I ever read. Angst-o-rama!
..."Rumination on Dead Cows" by Lilith. Scully angst and ranting while
on a case with Mulder and Fowley.
..."Second Skin Satin" by Kim Berglund. Looking for a smut fix? Go to
Gossamer and dig up this oldie. Rawr.
..."Sledgehammer" by JC Roberts. I'm fairly new to the ng, and maybe
this has already been raved about. If you've already read it, email the
author and say "More! More!"
..."Venture Forth" by Punk Manueverability. I know a lot of people see
the words "Mulder/Other" and run screaming into the night, but the Other
was such a great character, I actually didn't care. And I'm a
*shipper*! :)
Long list, I know. Would anybody like to add to it?

Someone who's kinda faded into the past is Syn, whose "Empathy" STILL
gets me crying, and whose "Road to Cucamunga" STILL makes me laugh, even
though I've read each hundreds of times.
So: I rec Syn's stuff (don't know the website addy), especially
"Empathy" and "Road to Cucamunga." Hope you enjoy!

PS - does anyone know what happened to her? Is she maybe going to post
again someday?

Speakin' in general, I 'ave found them good...."
Some of the script-format fanfic is quite good. I'm thinking especially
of LoneGunGuy's kabbala/Holocaust story "Diaspora". He's written a lot
of darned good, darned weird stuff.
http://members.aol.com/lonegunguy/x-files.html
XmagicalX never wrote anything bad. My favorites are the Horizons
novels, but "In the End" is the best Highlander/XF crossover ever, IMO
(and there's some stiff competition in _that_ category!), while "Wheels
of Iscariot", "Nor Iron Bars a Cage", and "In the Night Dreaming", are
all exceptional fics. Too bad she's just writing Sentinel fic now....
http://www.fortunecity.com/lavendar/casablanca/479/xfilesfic.htm
Hmmm. Most of the other people I'm thinking of are kinda sung, like
Loligo and Thomas Hearn and Erin McCole Cupp and so on. Soooooo I'll
sit back and see what other folks come up with. There's so many!

But what you're after is to turn 'em all.

I don't know whether she's unsung or not. The only place I've seen her
work listed is at Autoerotic Asphyxiation. But I really like Cynthia
Johnson's stories, esp. Tyger, Tyger. It's an MSR that has a dream-like
quality. Very unusual. I get the feeling it's an oldie, but no date, so
I'm not sure. Also, as far as I can tell her e-mail addy is invalid.

While I missed the fiasco, having sweat my brains out at the "Race For The
Cure", I would like to mention an author I love.
Anyone brave enough to dive into Character/Other for some really intense
storytelling should read "Purple" by JourneyToX. I've probably held in up in
other "rec" threads, but it bears repeating. Kim's drawn an original character
that stands up to anything in published fiction.
It *is* a WIP, so if you read it and love it, tell her. Or nag her. Or whine,
beg, whimper, plead, and cajole. Possibly bribe (she loves something called
Fat Tire Beer). But if you want to stalk her, see me. I'll let you know when
we have holes in the schedule that need covering.
Katrina
WPAdmirer
>storytelling should read "Purple" by JourneyToX.
Definitely one that's a don't miss. She also wrote a wonderful story calle
Rosemary for Remembrance (I think that's the title) that is just flat amazing.
One of the best things I've ever read in fanfic.
I also have to say that Ophelia Mac is not recognized enough. She's written
some wonderful stuff, including a Skinner/Scully that takes place in New
Orleans that is lovely.
In the slash category I'm very fond of m.butterfly's Skinner stories, and mik
(a very new writer whose work has been posted by frogdoggie on some mail lists)
does some really excellent Skinner/Mulder.
For threesomes you can't beat Twisted Sister whose work can be found on
Xanthe's site under the "other authors."
I also greatly admire Sergeeva's Skinner fic.
I could go on. There are a lot of writers who do excellent work who are not
noticed by the rank and file. Part of it may be that they're not focused on
Mulder/Scully, though many of them include either one, the other, or both in
the story.
WP
MHWoman
I second this recommendation. After I read it, I could not believe that no
one had ever suggested it. I mean, if you can't deal with dark, Scully-angst
I'd understand, but anyone who lived through Iolokus could live through this
story.
Tiffany M.- proudly showing off her battle scars
Khyber
she deserves, though she does belong to the Cult of Writing Really
Slow (Khyber waves his membership card and gives a big shout-out to
his homies Morgan, Rachel and Sharon). I know people like her stuff
but you don't hear her name very often--it may be because she's rather
reclusive :)
"The Last Gift" is one of the best fics I have ever read, quite
frankly.
Her page is at http://members.tripod.com/~promise64
Note: Morgan is very definitely a shippy writer.
I also can't recommend enough a writer named Alloway, who is, um, uh,
I just don't even know where to start on how good s/he/they are/were.
As near as I can tell Alloway has retired, or is just exceptionally
bad at answering email. Terma99 has some Alloway on her page, or
search Gossamer. Her/his stuff is more or less Noromo safe, unless
you're so virulent that you, say, cheered after "One Son."
Also check out another non-prolific writer, Ravenscion, who is
responsible for the absolutely wrenching "14th Of February" and a
darned good and rather ambitious novel called "Rongbuk." Her/his page
is at:
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Dunes/6767
Ravenscion is definitely an MSR author, though "14th of Feb" will
probably be appreciated by most audiences.
These are just a couple of suggestions...

I like this topic a LOT better, Alicia.
<Let's bring up those stories or authors that don't get a lot of mentions, or
recommendations, or picks.>
A terrific idea (thanks for mentioning Sledgehammer, btw).
Some of my favorites:
Alicia's "Seeds." Is Mulder's oral fixation the thing we love most about him?
Maybe....
"Luminaries: Nothing Burns" by Shirley Writnwoeft. A wracking, yet sensual
response to Emily.
"Visceral" by Danielle. Post Elegy. Powerful, erotic, ultimately hopeful.
"Adios," by Pendgirl. A cancer-stricken Scully, hopped up on all kinds of
pain-killing drugs, writes a nasty letter to her partner. Very funny.
"Where Do We Go From Here?" By Stephanie Kramer.
Some of the 155 words or less stories were hysterical, and deserve a special
mention, I think.

Who's just a little troubled that all of her favorites are NC-17.

Unsung great stuff? This is where I find out everyone else in atxc knows all
about these authors/stories already, but hey...
'Soap And Eggs' by EPurSeMouve (angsty MSR all over the shop <g>!!)
'A Few Bright Daffodils' by becca (angst-o-rama, but gorgeous)
'The Sea Parted' by wen (yeah, you guessed it...look, I just watched
Gethsemane again today, and then cried over 'E.T. later. I'm in touch with
my inner angst addict right now...)
*Anything* by Jesemie's Evil Twin, especially 'Windows' (I got sniffly
reading that one)
'The Sexually Repressed Guide To Defining Forever' by Trixie, hysterically
funny *and* great, hot MSR (yeah, I do have a lighter side, so there :P).
I was right, wasn't I? You're all gonna laugh and point and say "You thought

"syn" is one of my many pseudonyms or pen names. She sort of faded away when I
got thrown off my ISP by some kind person right after I posted "Breathe For
Two."
But, I *am* actually working on Chapter Two of "Lightning Strikes" and a sequel
to "Locusts."
It just was hard to get back into after that very stressful and disillusioning
period. :-(

done posting her wonderful Pendyfic on XAPEN--dark, noir and so damned good I
was eating my liver--(I was only joking when I suggested we lock her up in a

Pendrell fic, and I haven't seen anything from Brinson since.
Whether there is a cause and effect, you decide, but I have to wonder.
And Brinson, where ever you are, I'm still eating my liver, you're a dynamite

These days the unsung fanfic writers are often those belonging to what
could be termed the Old Guard. People who were writing fanfic three
or four (or more) years ago but who have either moved on to other
things or are taking a wee break from fanfic. (ie. Sheryl Clay, Tish
Sears, Eleanore, Juliettt, Kelly Rocherolle, Nicola Simpson and many
others...)
Don't get me wrong, there are many new writers whose work I enjoy but
I don't like to forget those who paved the way.

A sequel to "Locusts"?! Cool! Now I'm excited!
I tend to be very slow on these things; but it did take me a very long time to
realize "syn" was CiCi. I think I just happened to be wandering around her site
and noticed there were links to both fanfic by DBKate and syn. I previously
knew DBKate was CiCi, so when I finally made the connection, it was like
"Duh!"
Anyway, I wholeheartedly recommend "Locusts." It is one of my favorites.

Agreed. My favorite unfinished WIP to date. Talk about story

then didn't come back to the world of fanfic.

Does anyone know what happened to Leyla Harrison? I thought "Tightrope" was
the best thing she'd written. It wasn't like her others -- it wasn't an
MSR. *gasp!*

96 to 97. I think I read almost everything in gossamer at that period in time
*L* (not to mention I nearly had a heart attack when Vincent's gossamer
archive closed...good thing the Gossamer Project had begun!)
The Five and The Five II, by Somebody Else (Of course, I remember when it was
originally posted under the author's true name..sadly, someone had swiped part
of his story without permission and from what I understand, used it completely
out of context....I truely wish he would write more.)
Oklahoma and Camping by Amperage and Livengoo
and for something hilarious..Colors, by Livengoo & MonkeyBoy & YouKneek &
Amperage
Therapy I, II, III, The Woods, Sacrifice, by Amperage
Corpse, Leave of Abscence by Livengoo
Death Will Be Our Darling by Deborah Goldstein (if you're still out
there...please write more?)
The Magician I, II, III, and IV by Suzanne Bickerstaff and Jennifer Lyon
there are many others I have loved; but it's hard to recall all of the titles
and authors. To all those who put their heart and free time into any Fanfic, a
hearty thank you from an avid reader.

Since you've probably already read the more well-known
ones, I'll recommend something offbeat, "The Light
in the Tower at Mulder Manor." It's a humorous MSR
written in the style of someone of Jane Austen's
era. There's no author's name on it, but I found it on
Lisby's "IMHO" site before, in her recommended stories.
Here's a little piece of it:
"CH. 1: IN WHICH WE ARE INTRODUCED TO MISS DANA
SCULLY, FRIENDLESS ORPHAN; ARE SUBJECTED TO AN
INTERMINABLE FLASHBACK, AND SEE HER JOURNEY TO
HER NEW PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT INEXPLICABLY
INTERRUPTED BY A LARGE, GLOWING DISK"
No, the whole story isn't in caps, just the chapter headings!

e-mail addresses for them, though, and it was written

You've gotta love a good funny-bone tickle.Try these...
"Mr. Natural" by CiCi Lean
"Cattle Chutes" by Dark Nascent (It's totally sick. I love it.)
"The Titanic Files" by RJ Christen. Ok -- hear me out on this one. It's on
Gossamer (I think), and I found it to be very funny. Maybe it was due to the early
hour and the fact that I was trying to cover my laughter in light of the fact that
I was reading it in my cubicle at work. It includes subliminal messages, and Mulder
with a Leonardo DiCaprio haircut. Now tell me that's *not* funny!
"Spotless" I think that's CiCi again. Hm... the more I think of it, the more I
think CiCi is a government conspiracy. The woman can write *anything*. And heck
-- she does!
I just know I'll think of about five more after I send this.

I was going to mention "The Forgotten Ones" by Deborah Wells, but it looks
like she's removed her stories from the annex. I knew she'd taken them off
Gossamer. This is disappointing. I should have saved it on my computer.
Sigh.
Don't you hate it when that happens? Luckily the last time I moaned about
something like this, "The Five" got re-archived with pseudonym.
I know she writes Star Trek fanfic too. I think I may start a search to beg
her to let me have a copy of her XF fanfic. Wish me luck! :-)

Anything by A.I. Irving. Most people have read "The Actor" and "Cry of the Truth",
but everything else she's written is great. I fear that she's abandoned her WIP,
however.
Maureen B. Ocks. Great story, and probably the most clever pen name I've seen.
"Go Be" by Amy Seymour. What if Scully took some time to go be a doctor after the
movie? And what if a fellow doctor developed an enormous crush on her? Then what
if he told the story from his POV? Well, then you get a cool story.
"I Have Known a Boy Named Fox and a Man Named Mulder" by Penny Daza. I really odd
subject, tackled very well by Penny.
"The Lottery" by Rebecca Rusnak. Based on another short story. Very creepy.
"Nowhere to Hide" by Deb Prewitt. The return of one Donald Pfaster. Eew, very
creepy and really good.
And, last (and definitely not least)
"Playing For Keeps" by Youkneek and Bliss. Hey! You guys ever going to finish
this awesome story, or what? Oh, please please please please.... loved it!
Good night, all!

Club, I must add my voice to those praising her work. I wasn't heavily
into spoony/romantic/MSR stuff until I read some of her stories.
I have loads of other faves, but we're sticking to people who don't get
much mention, right?
Lacadiva. Far and away she comes closest to achieving the spooky mood
of an episode in her stories than anything else I've read. I thoroughly
recommend "Type 52".
Lastly, reading Heather Scotland's humorous stories gave me the bottle
to try my hand at XF parody. (Along with some kind words of
encouragement from the lady herself.) Her Alphabet series is a hoot.

Others have mentioned WestShore but she is worthy of at least another mention.
CarolLee, Poe Mountain Horror and Specimen 51 all have some of the most
original villians and good guys around.
LuvMulder's Renewal/Fortune's Legacy and new WiP Brother's Keeper are all
fabulous.
Suzanne Bickerstaffe doesn't get the attention she richly deserves. Spooked
and Faith are two of the best season 4 stories around.
Anything that comes by from Suzanne Schramm is well worth reading.
Sue Esty's Revelations and All Hallow's Eve series get a lot of attention and
they should but I'm partial to some of Sue's other work, Carnival Dark Carnival
Light and Angels Can Be Jealous Too are great.
Missing Voices, a season 4 hiatus story by Joyce McKibben, Meredith and MC
Akimoto is one of my favorites.
MD1016's Jasper's Last Thought is one of the most original stories I've read in
a long time. MD's Teetering is just amazing.
Take Care
SuperJame
Yes it way. So was Jasper's Last Thought, which you also mentioned.
WickdZoot
reading.
And Miki Akimoto's fiction is outstanding, she's got some absolutely fabulous
stuff with great character angst.
JC Sun, too, while I'm having my memory jarred, just anything by JC is
fabulous.
I dunno if Patti Murphy is still out there writing, but I liked her stories a
great deal, too, and they can still be found on Gossamer.
LoneGunGuy, which someone has mentioned, wrote the first Homicide crossover
that I'm aware of, April is the Cruelest Month, and it was sooooo damned good.
zoot, going off to finish up Minnesota's last weird bits.

It's there, as well as "EXILE" and "Walking the Cage". I also just had a
wonderful person tell me where I could find "Forgotten Ones" and
"Walking..." on a webpage. Whew! Saved me time of piecing it together. I
just got a new computer, so I'm going to be devoting more space to saving
fanfic. With only one more year of the show to go, I have a feeling in the
years ahead we'll have more authors trying to remove their fanfic as well as
fewer and fewer archives.
Damn, I'm depressing myself. Lesson of the day: Save what you can, and
enjoy it in the years to come.

Here're a few other names I don't see as often as I should:
Suzanne Schramm, who floored me with "Dark Water,"
Flywoman--start with "Cold Comfort" or "Tautology" and learn there's a reason I
beg to bring her work to atxc,
Gwendolyn--any piece will hook you but my favorite's "Eight and Twelve,"
Blair Provence's "Banging Your Head Against a Red-Haired Brick Wall"--anyone
know if she ever wrote more?
and C. Slatton, who I think was a casual visitor from the Trek scene, but I
wish s/he had stuck around--look for "Domination of Lies."

I thought of more! Here we go again...
'The Wish' and 'The Wish II: All The Colours' by viXen. Sweet, angsty,
romantic, smutty, these puppies have it all.
Anything by Luperkal: brilliantly written, lyrical, razor-edged angst
(although I think she may have gone on vacation from fic-land indefinitely
now).
Anything by Kristin Mackenzie, such as 'No More Giants', 'Night And Silence'
or 'Heat Lightning', all of which left me seething with jealousy at such
perfection. She's at www.luciditywebs.com/x-files.htm.
Anything by the multi-talented Wayward, who's not technically unsung, but
IMHO should still be getting mentioned way more in these parts. She not only
does brilliantly funny stuff, in the vein of 'Tender Loving Care' or 'Fox
Mulder's Manifesto of Manhood', but also *searing* angst, like 'The Light Of
One Sun' and 'Bitter Condensation'. Her stuff resides at

Thank you for the kind mention, Caz dear. <sniffle> Having been around
these parts for just 3 months, I appreciate the generous reception that my
stories have had.
In addition to the well-deserved mentions that Plausible Deniability,
CazQ, and Brandon and Shannon have received, I'll suggest two more
authors. I'm always intrigued by Susan Frankovich's poetry and the insight
and plot turns of Martha Little's stories. Susan's poetry is available on
Ephemeral; the ever splendiferous CiCi might know if Martha's stories
appear outside of the XAPEN list.

Well, Martha has trouble getting ATXC access, I know that, so I'll write to her
and see if I can forward her latest ones for her.
A lot of her stories can be found on various LGM sites (I think xxxgizziexxx
posted a couple of URLs in this thread) and on Gossamer.
They are *definitely* well worth the read. Martha is great!

Anything by Shawne, who writes lovely MSRs. Check out the recently posted
'When Life Hands You Lemons...' to see why I adore her fluffier stuff so
much :). Her stuff lives at
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Temple/1685/XF.html
'The Last Picture Show' by jerry. Gorgeous, smutty, sorrowful Pendrell-fic
(I'm becoming such a cheap date where the little guy's concerned). It's
tucked away at the Socks Shoppe somewhere, I believe.
'Don't Think Of A Blue Elephant' by Chey Burgess. If you miss the good ol'
angsty days of the cancer arc as much as me sometimes, read this one for a
stunning Scully POV and some great Muldercomfort.
'Private Ceremony' and '6 Days And 7 Nights' by Eleanore (I think that's the
name she posts under, I've lost my copy of '6 Days...'). '6 Days..' in
particular is a fabulous slice of flick-fic, with one of the best opening
lines in fanfic, IMHO: "There was no sign of man or penguin."
'The Wall' by Leah Lesnar (again, someone please correct me if that's not
her penname). Wanton!Scully, Lickable!Mulder, hot smut <g> (if anyone knows
where this is archived, do let me in on the secret).
The recently posted 'Lesser Evils' by Hannah Mason, which I adored cos I
didn't see the twist comin' <g>.
Okay, okay, this time I really *am* going...

I absolutely love Daydreamer's Prayer series. She hasn't written any

she's my betareader.

Someday I'll finish it, but until then I use Gossamer. The Wall should
still be on Ephemeral, though.
And as a little gift for thinking of me in this thread with a whole lot
of wonderful authors, I'll just tell you that the sequel to The Wall is
(finally) finished and being beta-ed right now. If there really is a
Slow Writers Association, I could be the president.

This thread is already incredibly long, but...I just had to speak up
for the ScullySlashers.
Radclyffe H. has written two incredible series, "Genesis" and
"Games", each with a very different tone, each very hot, very
real, and very moving.
eeyore writes deliciously funny PWP's; I can especially
recommend "Lunch" and the "Montana?" trilogy.
These stories can be found at ScullySlash:
http://www.angelfire.com/sc/scullypage
Then there's Izzy Izenthe, who has her own page at:

has written some wonderful stuff, and I'm a big fan.
However, I think the New Orleans story I was thinking of was Jaded Cat's. It's
marvelous. My apologies to Jaded Cat for mis-remembering. Chalk it up to too
many drugs in my youth, and nothing to do at all with you or your story.
And there's only one person who's written MSR that I like and that's Cathleen

There's one fantastic author that no one ever really talks about. I believe
she's an English teacher, and her name is Christina Simmons. She's written
some of my all time favorite fics, including:
"But Tonight...Strength." post Memento Mori
"One Way Home" post Home
"Mizpah" deals with the mysterious ring
and tons tons more. I really recommend that you go to her webpage. please,
I feel that she's totally underrated.

Just a few off the top of my head, I don't recall seeing mentioned in this
thread yet.
Jay Fox or Frogdoggie: He doesn't post here. He's one of the "perks" of
XAPEN.<G> His "Baton Rouge" series made this non-slasher a fan of Sk/M/Sc!
He also writes multiple other pairings. Very romantic and hot as well.
He does have a web site: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/7228/xship.htm
Rocketman. Often unpolished; but she displays great raw talent for
characterization.
She has this wonderful ability of being able to accurately portray how
people really think.
Emilie Renee Karr who long since appears to have abandoned TXF for another
fandom.:( Her "Future Horizons" and "Horizons: Homecoming" should not be
missed. I only wish she had continued this series further.
Red Wolf's "Shift" series: another apparently abandoned series with great
potential.:(
Speaking of wares<G>, Shael's "Loup Garou" series which has become primarily
about a certain three way relationship that involves neither Mulder nor
Scully. M&S are there, together but way on the backburner; and this shipper
just loves this series!
Kristie Hughes "Persistence of Memory" a M/S married, next generation story
(also not usually my favorite type of story.) The teen aged daughter is not
cloying and highly likable; and M&S are still very much present and active
in this story.
Of course, I just can't mention next generation stories without bringing
up Erin McCole Cupp's "Children's Teeth" series. M&S *are* pretty much on
the backburner here; but that doesn't matter to me (It usually does.) in
this case.
I think this series is just too good to miss. Specifically, the story
"Sister's Blood" was one of the most amazing stories I've ever read!
Houng Te may be best known for offering most gracious feedback to authors;
but
she wrote a terrific, unique story called "Excerpts"

I love sardines! Pack 'em in oil, pack 'em in mustard, pack 'em in hot

Sausage, anchovy and pineapple pizza was my Memorial Day present to
myself, and it was so goooood!
Hey, Scully would eat it with me. Scully has taste.
I do, however, draw the line at liver. Unless it's all ground up and
comes from a goose.

I adore that one. Haven't read it in years. Where could I find it? It's
not in the Gossamer Archive.

Oh, me too. After beta reading the first couple of chapters, I included the
following in my notes to Hannah: "Is it Aaron? Is he the baddie? Oh man, I
hope so. That bastard! " :)

Yes! That was a great read. I took it to my parents' over Memorial Day weekend
and read it. They kept asking what that big stack of paper was, and I would say
"Oh. ... nothing." They wouldn't understand. :)
And I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but I reeeeeaaaallly like her
Skinner/Scully/Mulder stuff.

Ooh, that *is* a good one. That story has the best Mulder/Scully kiss ever
described in fanfic. Yum.

I second that emotion! I was just rereading Speechless and Perfect this very
morning. Anjou paints beautiful word pictures. I still haven't gotten around to
sending her feedback.Would it count if I cc'd this to her? <smiles meekly> ( I'm
more than a month behind in my feedback. Jeez, people, quit writing all this great
fic ;-). I don't have enough time to read it all. I don't know how you find the
time to write it.) But I digress, I especially loved the scene where Scully speaks
for Mulder at the press conference. It was only a paragraph, but I could *see*
every vivid detail. And the er, seduction scene in Perfect, give Anjou major points
for originality. Also, the image of Mulder as 'the world's largest house cat' made
me LOL.

I love Trixie's work too.
And while I'm doing penance for extremely late feedback: Dreamshaper, I really
loved your Burning Bridges. It's at the top (based on chronological age) of the
feedback list on the yellow pad next to my keyboard. What's the statute of
limitations on feedback? And Brandon and Shannon, HK Mason, Jessie, XScout,
Brandon again (damn boy, quit writing so much ;-)), Finn, and Paige Caldwell I will
get to your feedback by the end of the week (o.k. weekend), I promise.

King of the Files.
I sat in front of screen with my jaw on my keyboard, too stunned to laugh.
Diana Williams' "Life from the Slashers" series is a scream.
There's also a pretty good piece of semi-humor fanfic in -I kid you not- a
national publication in stores right now. The Door, pretty much the nation's
only religious satire magazine, has an "article" called the "Chi-Files" . Two
awfully familiar agents of the Hebrew goverment reseach the strange goings on
around a man named Ezikiel.
Most good sized chain book stores, Boarders and Barnes and Noble, have it on
the shelves as I type.
I seem to recall a few stories around here with a similar theme.
There's also a good cover article on religion and the Simpsons.
