Surrounded by 500 X-Philes, and the only person who asked to see my XF tattoo was Chris Carter.

So, this happened at Philefest this weekend, and I still can't believe it! I met the one and only Nicholas Lea! Alex Krycek is my favorite character from the show if you can't tell. My favorite rat fink and the whole namesake for my account. He was so lovely! 🥹❤️👽🛸😱 He also took a photo of my shirt, so there's that. So unbelievable! I'm still processing this!

Don’t forget to submit your fanart and/or fanfic for the Philefest Convention Fanzine!

Here’s a link to the original post if you need a refresher on all the details!

Many people have asked, and yes! We are going to work to ensure people unable to attend the con can still get a copy of the fanzine!

Additionally, since there’s a G-T rated zine and an M-E rated zine and you’re allowed to submit a work of fanfic and a work of art for each, that means you could submit four (4) times.

Two (2) pieces of fan art, two (2) works of fanfics. (1) fanfic and (1) fan art per zine.

The fanzine will be in color, but we won’t have more info about cost and other production details until we have a better estimate of how many submissions we have. We promise to supply you with those details as soon as we have them, but for now, keep working on your submissions!

Got most of my Philefest acquisitions framed and up and integrated into my collection. Minimalism, what's that?

So I just had a conversation with Mitch Pileggi in which I discovered he and I lived in Saudi Arabia at close to the same time, years before The X-Files. Wild that places like Jeddah and Ta’if, which the vast majority of people in my life now have never heard of but were backdrops to my childhood, were part of his life, too.

Happy #30YearsOfTheXFiles

I’ve been a fan since I was 10 when the show first started.

Do you think GA and DD will make a surprise appearance at Philefest?

Tbh I hope they do for all the ppl attending but I don’t think it’ll happen. GA usually is filming in September and as for DD I don’t know what he is up to so maybe he will attend. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for y’all who will go 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

PS: AG is super lovely and fun

On the 30th anniversary of the X-Files, I ate lunch sitting across the table from Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz whereupon I heard many, many stories and previously unknown show factoids. I will attempt to disseminate many of them when I come down from my high, but for now, I’m dead. 💀✌🏻

So, attending Philefest broke my brain. I've already been an X-Phile since 1996 at the tender age of 10, but I haven't contributed to the fandom other than lurking, liking, and reading fic in a long time. As in 15 years at least. Being surrounded by my people for the first time in so long reawakened in me the need to be part of an X-Phile community and to create rather than just consume. Other X-Philes, I want to find you and share this beautiful obsession again. No idea what I will bring to the table, but here I am. Hopefully good things to come.
