X-files Lego!!!!!!!!! :D

Comparing season 8 Xfiles to Season 1 is very funny

Cause you see Doggetts and Scully respectful professional relationship and realise Mulder and Scully got weird about each other so fucking fast

Pixar’s “Elio”?? AND ITS ABOUT A LONELY BOY OBSESSED WITH SPACE AND THERES ALIENS AND THE GOVERNMENT CHASING HIM AND WHAT???!?? What?!??

BUT THATS MULDER AND SCULLY’s SON okkkkk 😭 (I mean minus the eye patch)

Look at his shirt 🥹

My favorite thing to do while watching The X-Files is to say, 'Ah yes, normal platonic coworker things,' every time something blatantly romantic happens between Mulder and Scully.

Spooky Award Winners 1998 - full list!

The Spooky Awards were the annual awards given to X-Files fan fiction from 1995-2004 (except for, strangely, the year 1997). They were voted on by readers in a process that's a little unclear to me now--I know it must have been occasionally controversial, because there were sometimes concerns about "ballot stuffing." Full disclosure, I'm getting most of my info about this from Fanlore, although as an aged person I do remember the Spookys being a big deal back in the day. I might have even voted for them at some point, but I really don't remember how it worked. I sure af know we didn't have Google Forms. From year to year the categories changed, sometimes drastically, and sometimes they awarded honorable mentions. In the earlier years, from my point of view, it looks like a lot of the same fics and authors won again and again in lots of categories, but by the later years, it seems like it was a much more varied group of winners. I find the Spooky winners really fascinating to look at now because (1) they show what people liked to write and read back when the show was on; (2) they're an interesting documentation of early online fandom / fanfic, including how people liked to categorize fic and pairings; (3) there are a lot of fics and authors on these lists that people still read and recommend; (4) there are some fics that people really don't read and recommend, and I'm always curious why (some might deserve to be remembered more!). I'm going to list the 1998 Spooky winners below and link each fic as best I can so other people can explore them. I chose 1998 because there were a lot of familiar fics to me on this list--honestly, some real bangers--but maybe I'll do another year later. I found every fic but one still online. (Unacceptable by Justin Glasser anyone?) A few random observations about 1998: obviously lots of movie fic. Less of a focus on strictly MSR, and plenty of same sex pairings, including Scully slash. More male fic authors / author names than we typically see nowadays. Also, in googling for a hard-to-find fic, I think I discovered another XF fanfic author who went pro (Saundra Mitchell). Look these over and give me your thoughts!

for the record scully is not canonically literally immortal to me or to darin morgan. metaphorical immortality only

[whenmuldermetscully]

he looked so good, hijacking security and breaking into facilities to find a cure for his wife's illness.

[whenmuldermetscully]

you thought you'd seen the last of my x files studies huh?

[whenmuldermetscully]

On the subject of Jealousy!sex fics - who do you prefer? A jealous Mulder or a jealous Scully? And do you have any favorite fics of that genre?

I like it when either of them are jealous! As long as it's handled deftly. But I rely on @calimanc to be the linkkeeper because I'm not much of a historian after losing a decade's worth of bookmarks and falling into despair. I'll see if I can coax her or @randomfoggytiger into tossing some links your way 😉
