Definition

"Muldertorture" was coined in the late '90s as a fan fiction sub-genre, as a result of many stories in The X-Files fandom involving the physical or psychological distress of Fox Mulder. Ratings from 1 to 10 were used, according to the level of "torture," and webrings and archives were created around this theme.

The name gave rise to a parody of X-Files slash called Muldertorture by Wombat, in which the torture in question was explicitly fan fic writers.
