mulder, it's me

All I have been doing lately is watch The X-files. SO much X-files. I had seen episodes here and there, mostly it seems a lot of season 5 and 6. But I've been watching sort of straight through, though with lots of jumping around too.

I know there is about a million fanfics for this fandom, and I am finding myself wanting to read fics (because there's so much left out in some ways, I just want MORE!). So if anyone wants to direct me where to look (or even just plain recs), I would appreciate and enjoy it :)

I read so much fic on Gossamer once up on a time!

Is there anything in particular you're looking for? Or just general favourites?

[ghanimasun]

General favorites would be nice, things that people really love are usually good. I would probably want to read some romance fic for Mulder and Scully that sort of actually shows them getting together more than the show gives. Because there's so much going on behind the scenes with them and the show is just giving a taste here and there!!

Hi. I'm also a fan of the series. I saw your fandom stocking entry (I click on anything that says The X-Files, hoping inspiration will strike) and came by to check out your DW. If you're still looking for XF fic, I have lots of recs. If you're already familiar with these communities, my apologies for barging in uninvited.

I run a fanfic discussion community on LiveJournal: xf_book_club. There is a link that will link you to every discussion post, and plenty of tags, too. Spoilers in the discussions.

I'm also doing mostly episode tag, fill-in fic type recs at 201daysofxfiles. I think the tag is fanfic recs: the x-files. You should also be able to search using episode titles. Someday I will figure out how to make a tags page there but today is not that day. I'm very behind the official rewatch now--I'm just starting season seven, but I will finish it.

There are hundreds of fic recs for The X-Files at crack_van, a multifandom rec site. het_reccers has XF recs. fancake has XF recs, though not as many as it should. On tumblr, there is msrlibrary. They don't provide anything to go on other than a quote but they have good recs.

I've written a fair number of fics that are episode tags, too. wendelah1 (some for Fringe, too). There are plenty of them in my AO3 bookmarks, as well.

Again, my apologies if this isn't what you're looking for. I hope to see you around the fandom.

Hi there! Sorry for the weeks late reply, that is my bad.

I really appreciate all the links you have shared. I hadn't checked out much on LJ/DW at all because I didn't know which comms were still active at all or would be easy to search.

I haven't read fanfic in a little bit at all, but this is giving me so many awesome starting places to dive back in and find all the good X-Files (and Fringe!) fanfic that I missed out on. I'm looking forward to going through these links and finding all the awesome stores I'm sure are out there.

Thanks again so much for these links! You are lovely for it :D
