Reader Appreciation, MEET KARRA!

What are your favorite types of XF fanfictions? Any favorite tropes or anything?

K: Definitely case files with romantic elements. Much like the show, I enjoy reading about Mulder and Scully working a case and investigating the unexplained. I love added romance because they deserve it. Of course, just plain fluffy romance is high on my list as well. 

As far as tropes go, I’m a sucker for the one bed trope where only one hotel room is available or something happens to one of their rooms (re: The Rain King). I’d also consider “All Things” fics to be a trope in the XF fandom. I’m glad we don’t seem to have a shortage of stories centered around this episode because I never get tired of reading them.

What got you into TXF fanfiction? Do you remember your first one or your introduction?

K: I’m not sure what exactly started my love of fanfiction. I think it was the result of starting to post about my love for the show on twitter and I saw others talking about it, so I decided to browse. What I can tell you is I spent my fair share of time bookmarking almost every story from each archive. 

I do remember the first story I ever read because I still reread it occasionally and consider it one of my favorites. It’s called “Snowed In” by Barbarian Librarian on fanfiction.net. 

Snowed In Link Here

Can you recommend three (3) of your favorite X-Files fanfictions and describe why you like them?

1.Wounded Heart by Sherry Davis. My all-time favorite. No question. Our favorite duo investigate a body found in his home town and it may or may not connect to Samantha. This is a heartbreaking read but I feel like it tackles the subject in such a powerful way. Both characters were written very well (in my opinion), and Scully’s caring side was at the forefront. It gets a bit dark in places and it’s definitely AU. But trust me, it’s essential if you enjoy angst and romance. The MSR was beautiful. 

Wounded Heart Link Here

2. The Eyes of a Child by Lovesfox. My second favorite of all-time. As a fan of (happy) baby fics taking place during or after S8, this one has always stood out to me. In this one, Mulder returns but he’s not quite the same for the first half or so but it has a wonderfully happy ending. I really enjoyed the different angle this author took with a “Mulder return” story. 

The Eyes of a Child Link Here

3. Desideratum by Rachel Anton and Laura Blaurosen. This is one giant angst fest from start to finish. I’ve always loved it because Mulder would do anything for Scully and loosing her would ruin him. These two authors pulled me in with the emotion shown throughout. It’s very dark but as with all my recommendations, it has a happy ending. 

Desideratum Link Here

What would your dream fic be?

K: My dream fic is essentially what I described in the question regarding my favorite types of XF fanfic. I crave angst filled x files. I generally enjoy stories where Mulder and Scully are personally affected in some way. The stakes are always that much higher and it draws me in. Throw in a healthy dose of romance and some good smut, then I’ll be all in.
