Descriptions from the Author

The author, Marita, wrote:

I did not write this. I am merely fulfilling my duties as the Slash Fairy, delivering joy to the girls and boys of the world. This is a truly exceptional story. Jane is a godess among slash writers, and this is her first story posted to a.t.x.c. Enjoy. [1]

Description from the author's site:

My first dip into the slash pool. My corruption continued. [2]

Recs and Reviews

Mulder/Krycek. A not-so-classic X-File involving alien possession. Beautifully written, this story takes a hard look at the price of obsession.[3]

Since [L] is heavily into Mulder/Krycek these days, maybe this is the place to mention that one of the best I've seen recently has been published on the net, Jane Mortimer's "The Same Everywhere." I love this writer's style, the quirky power balance between the two, and her incredibly unique way of combining angst, sex, and a truly unique brand of humor. She's in the progress of writing a sequel, "The Hand We Were Dealt," which is being posted in segments on [L's] M/K. list, and it's just as good. [4]

Oh yeah. Yeah. (Sigh.) It's proof positive that I will read anything, about any icky character indulging in ickier sexual practices, if the writer is good. And like it. Maybe I really do read for style, not sex. (Maybe I'm really from Mars. Is that why everything here is so weird?) Is "The Hand We Were Dealt With" finished yet? I'd love to read the whole set. [5]
