XF fic.
God, my memory of it has grown dim. I hit Gossamer (look at the old school, small bandwith version of "graphics!" hee!), to see whether there were any fanfics I'd read back in the day that I still remembered.
I have a vague memory of this Post-Hollywood AD ficlet by David Hearne: They Can Mess You Up.
Likewise, I vaguely remembered his post Je Souhaite fic Every Chimpanzee Has His Day
And his ficlet take on Bad Blood, the episode that gave Mulder's POV then Scully's POV (neither of which matched) so Hearne added Sheriff Hartwell's POV.
Hearne must have written a bunch of post-episode ficlets because I seem to remember several. I also remember that he was a nice guy.
The fic that was always rec'd everywhere in the XF fandom (or at least in the corners where I hung out) was Rivka T's and Mustang Sally's Iolokus (though, I'll be perfectly honest and say that I preferred their Spuffy fic's The Heart's Filthy Lesson and Serious Moonlight . Not without quibble with them, but I enjoyed them and remember them with great fondness. Almost as much fondness as The BtVS virtual season Dancing Lessons... yeah, we'll ignore the kerfuffle that blew that one up. I've heard rumors that it's archived somewhere -- like maybe LiveJournal -- anyone know? I think I could bring myself to read Dancing Lessons again. )
I'll admit to having been one of the participants in the Yahoo-list (remember those?!) round-robin that produced the fic Cold Hands/Warm Heart (And, seriously, it was a round robin, so there was nothing remotely "plotted" about the thing. But, hey, I remember having fun with it. I shudder to think of reading it again. I don't think I could bring myself to do so. There's no telling how awful it was... but I have fun memories of the ficlist that created it.
Somehow (I don't remember how) that round robin became a late addition to the X-Files Virtual Season 8.
Later, I made my own contribution to Virtual Season 9 . (I won't dare read that either.) I was a newbie to fandom (and the world of sci-fi fandom fanfic) and no one told us then that these stories would still be hanging around the internet mocking us all these years later! Anyway I wrote the virtual "episode" Seeing is Believing .
And, searching Gossamer, I found my very, very first fanfic (God, how bad must that one be?! ::shudder::) Post-Requiem, Mobius
