Some Excerpts

You mean apart from the grant proposals? Until last November, I'd never written fiction -- but I've always been a voracious consumer of fiction. Discovering fanfic two years ago was a revelation on two counts: *Free* stories! Even cheaper than a used book store. And they were stories about characters I already knew, and had been enjoying watching for years. I never would have started writing -- or the start would have been much later -- if it wasn't for fanfic.

The funny thing is, as far as writing goes -- I have a hard time writing the relationship as a full-blown MSR. The pro-forma parameters of a "romantic" relationship just don't fit this couple very well -- their connection is too complex for that -- which is why I like non-pro-forma MSRs. I think we need new terminology, because reducing the interaction to UST/RST also diminishes the connection.

Knock that IQ down a little. Mulder thinks too much. He should sweat more. I see an ep starring... CabanaBoy!Mulder.
