First Slash fanfic you ever read...
KitCat
fanfic and I noticed that almost everyone was first exposed through some
sort of MSR.
So I started to wonder, for those of you that read slash, what was your
first slash fic?
Mine was "Friends" by Te...I started with Geek!Slash. Actually,
yesterday was my 8 month slash anniversary...
What about everyone else?

it was something good and it swept me away. Which would certainly describe
anything by Kassandra.
But when I discovered X-Files slash I began consuming it at what might be
called an alarming rate. I found it immensely satisfying.

It's probably not literally the first slash fic I read, but the first slash fic
I read that converted me was the Thirst Series, by DBKate.

(which I think was posted here) that motivated me to read it --
Someone pointed out that, in reading m/m slash, I would be able to read
about, say, Mulder *and* Krycek naked (yummy). Or Krycek *and* Skinner
(equally yummy).
Whereas when I read MSR (which I love), I get Mulder naked (yummy) and
Scully naked (I'm sure she's yummy, too, but it's just not the same for me).
This, of course, resulted in even more time spent with fanfic. What a
chore. <g>

The very first slash piece I ever read was the "Chances" series by Alex Jones
(M/Sk) and boy, did I print that sucker out, staple it up and read it until it
literally fell apart.
I'd been reading atxc for a while back then, and didn't even know what "slash"
was. (Didn't have web site access back then either, but Alex was kind enough
to mail me the series along with some other pieces.)

Oh, yes! I keep explaining to people that to me (as a woman) reading about two
sexy men naked is far more interesting than reading about a naked man and a
naked woman.
No offense to naked women, but they just don't turn me on. (grin)

THANK YOU! Exactly what I've been trying to put into words. I'm
heterosexual and I write MSR and I LOVE MSR, but I also love slash--but
for me it's gotta be Mulder/Skinner only. That's precisely the reason
why.

Well, I enjoy Mulder/Skinner, but I (of course) like Skinner/John Carter, too.
I'll take either.
Skinner/Krycek and Mulder/Krycek rarely do it for me. (Though there are a few
stories that are so well-written I've enjoyed them in spite of the pairing.)

Actually, the first piece of fan fic I ever read was Mulder/Skinner slash. I
don't even know how I stumbled upon it, but it had to do with Mulder sucking
on mangos or something like that and I thought it was, well, interesting to
say the least. I have no idea who wrote or what it was called but I went
searching for more.
Then somehow I ended up finding ATXC this past summer after finally getting
a decent news server and a kid who didn't need to be watched during his
every waking hour. The first thing I read there was something by Dasha, I
was hooked, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Personally, I'd become familiar with slash through my early work with Pretender
fandom. But my eyes literally widened when I saw the length and breadth of the
genre with XF fanfic.
The first slash I ever read was by the wonderfully talented Rachel Arlington (no,
not Rachel Anton) on Gossamer -- and it remains my favorite stuff to this day.
Regardless of whether I find the basis for a Mulder/Krycek pairing impossible or
not, her work is so good I tend to check my skepticism at the door. It's worth it
;)

obsessed with smut. I now enjoy reading all genres but it took me a
while to discover there was more to XF fan fic besides MSR (It took me
ages to even find Gossamer). After MSR I discovered Humour, then
BadFic. After I discovered Gossamer, I started to read all the new
stuff (at the time that is) and stumbled on a slash piece and was never
the same again. I can't remember the name but I remember the
story...and I remember Mulder and Krycek. It was one of the most erotic
stories I'd ever read at the time. Since then I have had a thing for
Krycek. I don't care what combination, just as long as Krycek was in
it, I read.
Jasmin
Tony Farmar
let alone which pairing or which story...I want to say "The Claiming"
by Kathryn Rammage, but I suspect that was the first *good* slash
I read, rather than the first *ever*.
It never even occured to me that XF was slashable until I surfed on
in to The Secret Files part of torch's website after reading her P/K's.
Then I thought: "WHAT? Mulder and KRYCEK? No freakin' way!"
But I was bored. I needed reading matter. So I looked at "Whipping
Boy" and thought: what the hell. It's only 3k. It'll only take a
minute.
And I was impressed, by the writing but also by the fact that,
suddenly, it didn't seem *quite* so unlikely any more...
So I read the other short-shorts (thinking: well, that was probably
just a fluke) and they impressed me even more.
Then I read "Ghosts".
Hoo boy.
"Ghosts" has been recommended before on this ng, but I'll say it
again: go read. Now. If you only ever read one XF slash story, or
one slash story, read this one. It is just sublimely good.
It haunted me (no pun intended) for days afterwards. I took a trip
to London and all I could think about was "Ghosts" and how stupid
it was of me not to have read the sequel before cutting off my own
Net access.
(I say again: go read: http://strangeplaces.net/torch)
Now, of course, I am a hopeless slash addict. And a pusher too.

Aaah... memories. I found my first slashfic when my best friend sent me
to a M/K site
as a joke. She now regrets that :o)
I don't remember the name of the fic, but I *do* remember loving it. I
immediately
printed it out. Within a month, I had found several slash archives, and what I
call my
"shipper phase" was officially over.
The real turning point in my transformation from shipper to slasher had
to be when I
read "Ghosts". I then knew that I didn't have to turn to MSR if I wanted to
read romance.
Since then, I started devouring slash in large quantities, as well as
reading slash in
several other fandoms. I found that it's ruined me for reading about
heterosexual
relationships. Romance novels haven't been the same since. <g>

Hoooboy, that's an interesting question.
It was *probably* Greywolf's A/U Kirk/Spock slash "Deep Elem Blues".
That's the first one I really *remember* reading, at any rate, although
it could have been Judith Gran's "Terminus" or perhaps Killa's "Turning
Point." Those are the first ones I remember reading. They're all K/S.
I didn't start reading X-Files slash until I ran out of K/S,
Spock/Chekov, and Picard/Q slash on the web. And then I decided that
Mulder/Skinner was probably worth trying....and I was right. I started
writing M/Sk slash shortly after I started reading it, and I think the
first things I read on the XF side of things were the Denny's cycle and
"Night Care"/"Day Care".
I still prefer Trekslash, frankly--there's a lot more culture there, and
people don't get their knickers as twisted if you violate their pet
slashfic conventions. Basically, all of the conventions have been
violated so many times that you're almost disappointed if someone sticks
with all of them. I've discovered that XF slashers are *much* less
forgiving of violated memes.
But Skinner is *way* hotter than anyone on Trek, so you couldn't chase
me away from my XF slashiness.

called The Deal and The Bait by Brenda Antrim. Great fics, pretty much a

But hey, I'm allowed, right? Even though it's a M/K, I tend to lean toward
M/Sk these days, although the SR 8.19 post fic Don't Hate Me Because I'm
Beautiful by Jennifer Stoy, which was a M/K, was terrific on so many levels.
I definitely recommend it!
BTW, all this slash talk has gotten me thinking, I'd love a slasish quote in
my sig, can anyone think of a good one?
Thanks for letting me reminisce,

Maybe they're just the only ones answering so far :} My first ever XF
fanfic was slash -- it was one Laura Cooksey wrote, about Mulder and an
original male character. Unfortunately I can't remember the title (heck, I
can't even remember the titles on the ones I wrote, much less something I
read five years ago). But it's still in the archives. I like an edge to
my fiction, and most of the Mulder/Scully stuff I was first exposed to was
too romantic for my taste. Since then, I fell for the Rat, and branched
into other fandoms, so I don't read XFic now unless it's M/K. So many cute
guys, so little time.

I sure don't, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was M/Sk and right after
"Tooms". For anyone who's encountered slash before, that scene in
Skinner's office just screams "slash me, slash me! dear God, slash me!"

Great topic, and a good one for me. I was always leery of slash because it
seemed to out of character for the XF gang. I avoided it for quite some
time until my favorite NC-17 author, Lyrica, wrote a story called "Proof of
Ownership", a Mulder/Skinnerfic that rocked my world. Ever since then I've
read other stuff, but I don't get into any Scully slash, nor do I get into
the romantic aspects of slash stuff....for me it's primal and brutal or
nothing :)
Just thought I'd add, and definitely plug Lyrica's erotica....whoo! You can
find it on the SIS site.

From Te's "Character":
Mulder:"I don't want to sell my soul for some gender-confused Electra
complex!"
Krycek: "This from a man who refuses to even *listen* to my theories
about his oral fixation."
Mulder: "I. Just. Like. Sunflower. Seeds."
That's my personal favourite. Or from "Aenima" (also by Te):
"C'mon, Mulder, let's at least *try* to remember which one of
us is bare-ass naked, chained to a bed, and covered in come
here."

Actually, interestingly enough, the first slash I read was the sequel
to the first fanfic I ever read, "Into the Dark" by Kelli
Matthews-Simmons and Julia Kosatka. Although the first story was a
X-files, Highlander & ST:TNG crossover, the last two sections of the
trilogy, Into the Light and Daybreak were both mainly Highlander.
Took me awhile to get where I could even read X-files slash, although
it (and especially Krycek) slowly grew on me.

Old. Scary. Only in the XF is that old :}
It was possibly the first M/K, which predated M/Sk. Cody Nelson wrote an
M/K about the same time I wrote Krychek. (we didn't even have a canonical
spelling for the name) No one's been able to pin down which came first,
but the Skinner stories came after the Krycek stories. The first XF slash
story posted on the net was from Laura Cooksey, and involved Mulder and an

Now that's something I hadn't realized -- even though I was *watching*
the damn show. He'd only been in, what, in the betrayal trilogy at
that point -- did "Krychek" predate Anasazi? I remember the utter
horror when he showed up in Bill Mulder's shower later that year (I
remember being clutched to death by the two very nice and very
startled old ladies who insisted I watch it with them), but I can't
place the exact date of the story.
Brenda, may we impose on you for remembrances? What was it that made
you put Krycek into the story, rather than an original, or X, or
Skinner? What was the date of its writing?

Ok, here's my question. I don't get M/K. Up to a point, sure. But not
after Alex offs Bill Mulder. I understand the sex thing--there's always
been a weird sexual subtext to the Mulder-Krycek relationship,
but...well, anyway, y'all managed to explain that to me a while back.
But there are some things...
For you M/K folks: how can you get consensual, non-kink M/K to work and
be believable for you and for your readers post BM's death? Because
sometimes it does work. I've read some where it just clicked for me,
and I could take it. But a lot of it I either don't believe or it makes
me squick.

>be believable for you and for your readers post BM's death?
Well... there's a thin line between love and hate, and forgiveness is
divine. Besides, Bill Mulder was an asshole.
Okay, okay, I know that's a bullshit answer. But it's the best one I
have. And if I really get stuck, there's a million ways to write off Bill
Mulder's death; he shot himself... there was a shapeshifter in the bathroom, so
it wasn't really Krycek... the bullet came through the window... there was
someone else in the bathroom with Krycek... etc.
And then sometimes we M/K people like to say that if Bill Mulder told F.
Mulder any important information, then F. Mulder's life would be in danger, so
Krycek was just "helping".
Sooo... those are some ways to "justify" a relationship between Mulder and
Krycek, despite what happened to Bill Mulder. Let the flaming begin...

Hey! I actually like Bill Mulder. I'm working on the second story in a

See, but I don't buy any of those, which I suppose is my problem. I
think there's too much evidence that Alex offed Bill. The only evidence
to the contrary is Alex saying he didn't, and much as I love him he's
not a reliable source. Besides, Mulder was trying to kill him at the
time. I know *I'd* lie under those circumstances. "Hmmm, looney thinks
I killed his father. Granted, I did, but telling him that would be a
REAL BAD PLAN..."

*giggle* But Fox is protected. Thou Shalt Not Kill Off Thy Stars. And
no one seemed to try and find out what, if anything, Bill had already
told him. They just killed Bill. (Let's face it, folks: the Consortium

Well, I never said that Krycek didn't kill Bill Mulder on the show.
People (including me) just say he didn't, for the purpose of fanfiction.
Fanfiction is about taking the show, and turning it into what you want it to
be. Which means it's not always going to be in cannon. Or very plausible...

And well I know it. M/Sk/S is pretty implausible, but that never
stopped me, did it? :P
I recognize that it's not always going to be in canon, but for some
people there are parts of canon they can't get around. Alex's murder of
Bill Mulder is one I can't get around.

Nick Lea's mouth. And eyelashes. I don't particularly like original
characters. X didn't catch my attention until he died. And Skinner's a
dead ringer for my father (never, ever will I go there willingly).
Date? I dunno, what, 1995ish? I'm not good with dates, either :} It was
right at the time of the betrayal trilogy, whenever it was that Scully came
back and we found out that Krycek was a double dealing weasel (gotta love
'im).
