Funny Fanfic is an X-Files fiction archive created by Vell. It has the subtitle: "The archive of humorous X-Files fan fiction."

The page also included a link to The G-Files Newsletter, which appears to be for a G-rated X-Files fiction archive.

I decided to create the Funny Fanfic archive in June 1996, when I discovered 10 M of free web space that I hadn't realised came with my provider's package. I thought about putting up a magazine-type page, but I'm essentially lazy, and it sounded high maintenance. At the time, Vincent was still running Gossamer, and hadn't divided the stories into catagories; there were archives for romantic and after-episode fan fiction, but not for humour.

on the strength of Funny Fanfic:

I like having a humour archive because of the diversity of stories that it attracts. Humour is such a broad catagory that writers of all types - shippers, non-shippers and fence-sitters - all seem to write it.

and on plans for the future of Funny Fanfic:
When I find time, I want to put up a page for award winning humour, and move the parodies into a separate section. I welcome any suggestions and any new stories :) [1]
