Excerpts

XFFAS: When did you first get online to check out the X-Files newsgroups or websites?

AH: I bought a computer somewhere around April of 1995. I got online then.

XFFAS: Did you have a special site that you visited often?

AH: I discovered what was then Vincent's X-Files Fan Fiction archive by the summer of that year and became hooked on fanfic.

XFFAS: How did you discover X-Files fanfiction? Was is through a website or newsgroup?

AH: I did a websearch for X-Files sites and discovered the archive first, then the alt.tv.x-files.creative website.

XFFAS: Have you always written MSR?

AH: Pretty much, since I've thought, somewhere around early second season, that the characters were meant for each other, even if they didn't know it yet.

XFFAS: What was the feedback like those first few stories? Did it inspire you to write more?

AH: Feedback was pretty good on the first couple of stories. But by the time I posted those, I was already working on 12 Degrees of Separation. When that hit the newsgroups, I was inundated with feedback--much more than I got for later stories that I personally consider much better written. Go figure. ;)

XFFAS: How do you feel about season six so far? How would you like to see the show end?

AH: I love season six so far. I think the writing has been fresh and exciting, and the actors seem to be having a blast. As for how I'd like to see the show end---I'd like a victory (some big element of the truth revealed, some foe of the X-Files vanquished), a loss (some key piece of evidence gone missing, some ally apparently lost), and a new mystery (some new bit of evidence, some new lead that inspires the heroes to keep looking). I want to end the X-Files knowing that Mulder and Scully are still out there somewhere, together and still searching for the whole truth.
