Excerpts

What was your first experience with fanfic?:

The MPPB board, which introduced me to other authors and led to posting my first story on the original Gossamer site.

How long have you been a fan of the show?:

From the first season, but like many fans, my interest has wavered plenty the last few seasons.

What made you into a Skinneroticist?:

There's a certain modulation to it that is really attractive. And while I've become disgusted with the way he's been portrayed lately, overall I like the strength and integrity of the character. It hardly hurts that he's physically attractive, too :-).

What are your top five all-time favorite stories?:

Hard to say, there are so many stories created by talented authors. I remember being daunted by the enormity of Suzanne Bickerstaffe's (et al) Magician series, but it is a fantastic piece of writing and well worth the time.

How do you feel about fanfic in general?:

Most everything I've read has been of a quality that surprised me, better than far too many of the actual X-Files eps.
