Chronicle X Interview with Fialka was conducted in 2000 by the Chronicle X archive.
This was the last interview posted in a very long-running series of them.
Some Excerpts
I would give [the show] a bible, emotional continuity and Jill Selby as a staff writer. Which kind of amounts to one thing, don't you think? A little more honesty.
[ Mulder and Scully ] are probably the worst two people in the world for each other because they reinforce each other's most damaging avoidance patterns through respecting the right to keep their emotional lives private, and yet they're the only one that's ever understood the other or ever can now, the only one who knows how to be with the other without demanding that they change, the only one that can accept the other purely and wholly as they are. I think the tension between those positive and negative aspects is what makes their relationship -- however you want to qualify it -- so fascinating.
I can't remember the exact first [ XF fic I read], but I do remember wading through Gossamer, starting with the 'A's and being appalled. Then I found -- right about the same time, I think, Jill Selby's 'Rags', Karen Rasch's 'Anitdote' and Mustang Sally and Rivka T's 'Iolokus' series. Blame the four of them for me, because between those three stories I was not only convinced that fanfic was a terrific thing that needed to be sought out and consumed whenever possible, but that it wasn't a deadly embarrassing thing to think about writing myself.
