From the Interview
Does it surprise you that people are still interested in reading your X-Files fanfics and others that were posted during the original run of the show (1993-2002)?
Yes and no. Yes, because it’s so long ago that I watched the show and wrote fanfic for it, but no because even where I live in Australia it’s showing on TV again and where there’s interest in a tv show, fanfic follows. I actually wouldn’t know if anyone still reads anything I wrote though as I abandoned the email address I used for xfiles fanfic at least 15 years ago as it was getting too much spam, so if people are commenting from reading I’d have no idea.

What got you involved with X-Files fanfic?
Other than the obvious answers of the show and reading other fanfics and wanting to tell my stories, it was another fandom, Lois and Clark. That was the first time I’d read fanfic and while I wasn’t inspired or ready to try Lois and Clark fic, I was at a different point in my life when xfiles came around so I gave it a shot.
What is your relationship like now to X-Files fandom?
Non existent! I haven’t read or watched it for years now. I’m not even sure I saw all the last TV season as I felt the show changed too much and what drew me originally to the show and fandom had long disappeared.
