Old School X is a project interviewing X-Files fanfic authors who were posting fic during the original run of the show. New interviews are posted every Tuesday.

Interview with Sarah Ellen Parsons

Sarah Ellen Parsons has 18 X-Files stories at Gossamer and 19 at AO3. If you want high quality fic with interesting characters, go read her stories. Some of my favorites of her fics are The Crouching Thing and My Constant Touchstone Who Makes Me A Whole Person (which are two very different stories!). Big thanks to Sarah Ellen for doing this interview.

Does it surprise you that people are still interested in reading your X-Files fanfics and others that were posted during the original run of the show (1993-2002)?

With today's binge-watching culture, I'm not at all surprised. You can watch a bunch of eps and then seek out fic that is where you are in the series.

What do you think of when you think about your X-Files fandom experience? What did you take away from it?

I took away a writer's group Yes, Virginia, that is still together. Mostly as friends, but whenever I write something, or someone else writes something, it's the first place we all run for machete beta. I have betad SO MANY novels.

We have a number of folks who are published writers since then and our time in X-Files fic brought us lifelong friendships IRL and made us all better at our craft. The majority of those folks were better writers than I am. And I make my living as a writer in my day-job.

Social media didn't really exist during the show's original run. How were you most involved with the X-Files online (atxc, message board, email mailing list, etc.)?

I belonged to a couple of the largest lists and posted there and bitched about the show on usenet with everyone else. We had our own Yahoo group for beta. We all had crappy GeoCities websites that we programmed the HTML for ourselves and hooked through various fandom link circles to get traffic to our stories. But the main method of distribution was the lists.

Fun fact, I found a free page counter thing that I used at work one time through fandom. So fandom pays off in skillz.

Even without social media, we managed to get our stories in front of readers who would enjoy them. Where there's a will, there's always someone ready to step up and find a way.

What did you take away from your experience with X-Files fic or with the fandom in general?

Again, I have lifelong friends IRL that I got solely from fanfiction. That's the best takeaway.

Fandom disappointed me because it, like everything else, is ruined by people's egos, backstabbing, and petty people who get in positions of power and then use those positions to punch down or dictate. I was young when I was writing X-Files and I still had hope that people would rise to their better natures, so I got involved in various futile efforts to try to make people behave the way I wanted them to behave, I guess. I did a lot of public bitching that didn't serve me or my friends well. I now put that effort into politics, where it does actual good.

What was it that got you hooked on the X-Files as a show?

X-files was made for me. It combined science fiction, mystery, horror. I love all of those genres. Plus there was Scully. No matter how sexist that writer's room was, Scully was awesome. But you kept seeing bad writing. Even in the heyday seasons, like Season 3, there were really terrible eps that made you want to fix things.

I'm a lifelong speculative fiction fan and a published feminist science fiction author. I actually was published before I fell down the fic hole. I got involved in fanfic due to getting my fantasy novel turned down from every major publisher for being "too dark". And I needed to get readers to see my stuff to prove to myself that I wasn't terrible at writing. I got a ton of feedback and it was like market research to see what people wanted to read.

My time in fanfiction made me 100% a better writer than I was.

What got you involved with X-Files fanfic?

I went to the X-Files Expo to see if I could make contact with someone from Harper Collins because the tie-in novels sucked so hard. I got rejected with my pitch as I didn't have a literary agent.

Around that time, a pal who I watched X-Files with IRL was looking for a free X-files wallpaper for her work computer when she found the website where fans in Pennsylvania had fic archived. She read some and wrote to me - "you need to see this, and you can do better." So I started reading and was.... I probably CAN do better. So I wrote The Batman Plot. And made two friends I'm still friends with with that one story.

What is your relationship like now to X-Files fandom?

Nonexistent. I couldn't even watch the latest season and I saw only 2 of season one of whatever that was before I gave up. I have never watched the second movie.

X-files is my first fandom bad ex-husband. I loved it SO MUCH, but it betrayed me.

Were you involved with any fandoms after the X-Files? If so, what was it like compared to X-Files?

I was deep into Harry Potter for a while, but I didn't end up publishing anything in it. All my stories were novel-length and I was writing so much for work, I never completed anything. I called Snape/Lily when Prisoner of Azkaban was published and got Jossed by Rowling in one of my big ideas. (This is bad fandom ex-husband 2. JKR will never get a dime of money from me again because of her hateful stance on transfolk. I have RL friends who are trans and NO.)

I wrote fic in Supernatural. It was the obvious next thing after X-Files. However, the misogyny and bringing in all the Angel/Devil Christofascist stuff lost me. The ep where they declared all other religions other than Christianity as invalid and killed a Hindu god made me stop watching for good. I know enough Christofascists IRL that I can't tolerate it in my fiction. (Bad fandom ex-husband 3)

Who are some of your favorite fictional characters? Why?

This list is far too long to actually make. But characters I spent time writing about include: Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Co. (I wrote three unpublished Star Trek novels before I found online fandom). King Arthur and Morgan Le Fay, Sherlock Holmes (I wrote a Sherlock Holmes play after seeing "Crucifer of Blood" and entered it in a national competition, where I got very nice comments back.), Mulder, Scully and Krycek, Rowling's Hermione and Snape (like him or not, its masterful characterization), Dean and Sam Winchester, John Winchester and Bobby Singer. I wrote one comedy story starring Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A couple of Roswell stories under a different name. Catwoman and Batman. I have some unpublished Avengers fanfic lying around as I'm an OG Marvel fan with a massive comic collection.

Do you ever still watch The X-Files or think about Mulder and Scully?

I was on a business trip a few years ago and FX had a marathon and I watched part of it when I was in my hotel room. Early seasons are comforting, but I don't go back there now.

Do you ever still read X-Files fic? Fic in another fandom?

I don't read X-Files fic anymore. I read a tiny bit of Star Wars after the second movie because Rian Johnson had it right. Now I don't care. I love Mandalorian, but am content to watch.

Do you have any favorite X-Files fanfic stories or authors?

Too many to count. All of YV. Which reminds me, I need to go update our entry at Fanlore. I promised Punk I'd do it a while back. I need to at least get everyone linked. Right now it's only Punk and Sab.

But it was a ton of us. Marasmus, Maria Nicole, Cofax, CazQ, M. Sebasky, Livia Balaban, Kelly Keil, Wen, Ropobop, Jess Mabe, JET, fialka, and a bunch of others that I can't remember their fic names any more, just their real names because I know them all IRL. I need to go back and look up their fic names and link them up there.

In addition to my little group of pals, I loved reading Mustang Sally and Rivka T, Rachel Anton - I keep trying to find her to encourage her to write romance if she's not doing it already, but no dice, Dasha K., Anjou, there were so many great ones, but their names have slipped my mind in the past 20 years.

What is your favorite of your own fics, X-Files and/or otherwise?

I'm most known for Prone, and I'm proud of that story for all kinds of reasons, but I think my very best is The Crouching Thing.

I mostly didn't publish anything I didn't think was good and hadn't been machete betaed within an inch of its life, but I'm not sure much of the angsty romance stuff holds up as well. I think it worked when the show was still ON and we were all in that emotional headspace, but probably not now.

Do you think you'll ever write another X-Files story? Or dust off and post an oldie that for whatever reason never made it online?

Funny you ask. I am currently reworking a plot idea I had for an X-Files fic into a contemporary M/M novel, which I will publish under a different pen-name. The plot is the idea I had for X-Files, the characters are very, very different other than one is uptight and the other more easy-going. But no more Mulder and Scully.

Do you still write fic now? Or other creative work?

I have been making my living as a writer for 25 years. I write the word count equivalent of 5 Tolkein novels a year, just for my day-job. I am turning back to original fiction, which is where I was before X-Files. I'm working on the M/M thing, a high fantasy thing, a low fantasy historical thing and a bunch of M/F Regency romances as I get time and energy. I publish Fantasy and SF under my real name. Romance has pen names as you don't want that getting back to your workplace, either.

SEP is fic only and here she will stay.

Where do you get ideas for stories?

I have too many ideas to count. I try to write them down when they come, so I won't forget. At least the outline of the idea. Often a scene. I've been like this my entire life. I started writing novels seriously at 15. I wrote a 500 plus page one about Morgan Le Fay during breaks in high school because "Mists of Avalon" pissed me off so bad as I'd read the original source material and that was a Wicca recruitment polemic.

What's the story behind your pen name?

Sarah Ellen was my great-grandma, Parsons was her grandma's last name.

Do your friends and family know about your fic and, if so, what have been their reactions?

Half my friends ARE fic friends. Most of my friends know as does my brother, who thinks writing for free is dumb. This is universally agreed on by non-fic friends who know. My mother still doesn't know about the fic. Just the "real" writing. I write under a pen name to keep it away from my job and my published work.

Is there a place online (tumblr, twitter, AO3, etc.) where people can find you and/or your stories now?

My X-files stuff is up on Gossamer mostly. I'm trying to get the stories all moved to AO3 for all the genres. I'm working on this now. SEP is really not a living thing anymore, but there was a time when she was more me than me.

If you want to find my "real" non-fic writing, write to me at se_parsons at yahoo dot com and I will point you at it.

And PLEASE someone, hunt down Rachel Anton and get her writing something we all can BUY. Where are my old Krycek bitches at? Do any of you know where she is? [Lilydale note: I’ve tried contacting Rachel Anton for this Old School X project but have not had luck. I would love to find her too!]

Is there anything else you'd like to share with fans of X-Files fic?

The community I loved has mostly moved on, but I think we left a legacy of solid work crafted out of our love for the show. Find a living community you love for a show you love. There are great people out there creating and get involved. It will be worth it.

Thanks for your answer! I’ll def write you again once I’ve finished Iolokus. Are there any other must reads that every phile knows about? I read Parabiosis for the first time a few weeks ago and I def need more of the famous ones since all I’ve been reading and HIGHLY enjoying so far are all the new fics that people post - this fandom just blows my mind. I’m so happy to still be a part of it. :)

Oh gosh, I feel like this answer changes so much every few years and also depending on what you like! When I was a baby Phile and reading Prufrock's Love's Paracelsus live, every update was like a new episode of the show. The (few) people I knew lost their minds! Have you read Blinded By White Light by @dashakay? JET and Kyber? Madeleine Partous? Livia Balaban? Brandon D. Ray? I'm sure others have tons of classic recs.

If you love Iolokus, Rivka and Sally are both on tumblr.

X-Files Collector’s Edition: Redux II Samantha Was Real

My own personal belief is: Redux II Samantha was the real deal. Of course, I have to be blind to the events in Closure... which is just fine by me, as it was a mess and a half. HOWEVER: for those of the Closure-minded, these fics are the best I’ve read-- thus far-- that deals with the “what if” alternatives: tenderly, angrily, or mixtures in-between.

**Edit: I forgot the one Samantha story that started this all (Susanne Barringer’s Thicker than Blood and Jenna’s IOU)-- it’s now listed below.**

xraelynn/Rachel Nobel’s Given - Chapter 3

““Scully smiled back at him. “See, you and Bill might be able to find common ground after all,” she said.

After I’m gone, her mind supplied, and something in Mulder’s smile faded as if he knew what she was thinking.

“What was she like, Mulder?” she asked impulsively, and she felt Mulder’s thumb grow still atop her hand. “Samantha. You…” She faltered. “You never talk about her.””

A little precursor to Samantha’s POVs-- Everyone is waiting for the prognosis of Scully’s new chip, and Mulder is trying not to react to Bill. Scully asks for stories of Samantha in an impulsive need to connect to her.

Vickie Moseley’s The Visit (Goss)

“"Sweetheart, he wants to meet you. Tonight."

I couldn't believe my ears. "Daddy! Not tonight! I can't possibly go tonight.””

Samantha is as we’ve never seen her: kowtowed, subdued, completely dependent on CSM. She is forced into meeting her brother; and doesn’t have the spine to resist.

Dawn/sunrize’s Heart’s Desire (Goss)

“"Tell me, Mulder."

So much conflict within him, it was nearly tangible. He wanted to tell her, but didn't want to burden her.”“

In the immediate aftermath of Redux II, Mulder rejoins Scully and breaks down over his destroyed quest and lost (again) sister. She uplifts and helps pierce his swirling confusion.

shannono’s Meeting

“"You took her!" Mulder cried out. "You held her for twenty- four years! You lied to her, you told her Mom was dead, that you didn't know where I was. If she's really your daughter, how could you do that to her?" The smile faded. "I am not proud of all my actions, Mr. Mulder. But you may be assured that I have always done what I thought best for my daughter."”

This doesn’t have Samantha in it, but it is a conversation between CSM and Mulder about Sam’s visit. CSM explains his reasons for keeping her, his secrecy, and why he’s letting Mulder see her now.

Jennifer-Oksana’s Going Home Again

““To Whom It May–

To My–

Dear Mr. Mulder–

Dear Fox. “”

Samantha contemplates sending her brother a letter... but just can’t.

Livia Balaban’s Samantha’s Fate - Version 04

“”She wept, she missed me. She was ordered to stay away. If she got close they would have killed us. Me, Mom, her. Later, when she married and Scully entered my life, the threats expanded to include them as well.

Five lives bound up in one lie.”“

Samantha shows up, trying to reconnect. Mulder doesn’t believe her and insists she leave. A dessert helps to prove who she is.

Jenna’s IOU

""Oh, it's complicated, Samantha. We work together and I just think it wouldn't work."

"There's your problem, Fox. You think too much. Don't think, just make it happen. I can tell you're obviously crazy about her."”

Mulder is rooting through his parent’s attic with Samantha. She questions his closeness to Scully; and encourages him to go make a move with her now.

Mish’s Contact

"”I raise the binoculars again to find Samantha nuzzling Michael's sandy curls. James is patiently holding a dripping cone of chocolate ice cream for the child to eat when Mom is finished with the toddler's dust- off.

"They're beautiful," I whisper, grasping Mulder's hand. He fits his palm to mine and brings our clasped hands to my chest. “”

Post Redux II, Mulder takes Scully to a kids’ baseball game. It’s his nephew’s; and Scully is further surprised to meet Samantha.

AUs (of an AU)

Jennifer Maurer’s Perfect Gifts

““The man's slow, poisonous smile chilled Mulder more than the winter wind blowing around him.

"You will give up the search for your sister Samantha and accept the fact that her fate is entirely out of your hands. It always has been, actually, you just refused to believe that. You may keep the X-Files open as you wish, but I will not tolerate any further interference in the Project."“

An AU before Redux II: On Christmas Eve, Mulder is offered a deal for Scully’s cure; however, it is for naught as Scully takes up a trade deal for Samantha.

Susanne Barringer’s Thicker Than Blood

“"We have to try," piped up Samantha. Scully resented her, although she didn't want to. This woman had just walked into Mulder's life today, after breaking his heart for six months by not having any contact with him. She'd been in his life for all of eighteen hours and already asked him to put his life on the line for her. Like he hadn't already done that a million times. Yes, she knew that Mulder had to find the answers someday, but to walk right into it without any investigation first, without finding out exactly what he was dealing with, and without the Bureau's resources was too much to ask. Even of a brother.””

Mulder is overjoyed that Samantha has contacted him; and overlooks all the manipulative and gaslighting behavior she exhibits. Even though Scully suspects, she can’t deter Mulder from the lethal mission Sam sends him on.

Susan Proto’s Familiar Faces

“"There was no doubt in his mind it was Samantha.

Or a clone.

"Scully__?" he choked out.

"Could it be the same woman you'd met at the diner?" Scully asked....””

Post FTF-- Mulder and Scully are openly dating. While leisurely walking in the park, they stumble upon a little girl that looks exactly like Samantha-- until they realize her mother IS Samantha. Scully professionally handles questioning; and Mulder is gut-punched that Sam doesn’t want to remember her past.

This is a cherry-pick pick, I must admit. I only read the initial interaction between Mulder, Scully, and Sam’s family before I dropped off (as it, admittedly, gets too dramatic and seems to shift into sliiiight absurdity. Just my own thoughts.)

finisterre’s The Tunnel at the End of the Light

""Scully? You're Scully, aren't you? I'm sorry, I don't know your first name.

"Then, I see the gleam of something metallic. A gun in her hand, rising. "Who are you?" she snaps.

"I'm ... uh, a friend of the Mulder family," I said.

The visible eye thins to a suspicious slit. "Friends of Mulder's family aren't usually friends of his. So who are you?"”

This takes place during Season 8: Samantha hasn’t reached out since Redux II-- but that changes when she realizes her life, her friends, and her husband were a fabrication CSM used to keep her dependent. She flees, ending up at a very hostile Scully’s (who softens when Sam is devastated at the news of her brother’s abduction.) She is awed when Scully hands over the only false identity The Lone Gunmen had set up as emergency; and hopes to meet again soon.

Enjoy!

Post-Col/AU Tuesday

Imagine for a moment that you had watched Requiem as it aired the first time. The shock, the horror, the tearful sweet/sad/happy feeling you’d have felt when Scully tells Skinner that she’s miraculously pregnant, but you literally just watched Mulder willingly walk into the light and get abducted.

Then imagine not knowing for certain if your beloved show, if your favorite characters, would ever be returning to TV. Or, if they did, that Mulder might not be a part of the show in the same capacity. So much uncertainy.

(Sidenote: We find ourselves, as a fandom, in much the same position as we did 15 years ago. An uncertain future, a Mulder in peril, and a child that looms unseen but still very much emotionally present throughout the revival. The more things change, the more they stay the same...)

How much fix-it fic would you have needed as a fan back then? Well, today’s fic writer made a list of everything she’d want fixed to her satisfaction after watching Requiem, and today’s rec is the result. It’s wildly AU now, but wasn’t when she wrote it. It also features one of our favorite recurring characters, Morris Fletcher, who she writes supremely well. And while it verges on vaguely cracky (which she acknowledges in her notes), and indeed we felt that some of the plot elements stretched the limits of credulity, the characters and the dialogue were pretty damn spot on.

👽 X-Files "all things" Fic Recs

There is no such thing as reading too many fics involving the episode "all things." Here are some great ones. For @peacenik0, who asked. The Big Orange by @teethnbone Fox Mulder and Dana Scully carpool to Dulles because it’s S7 for gosh sakes, and it’s good to save on gas. Cadence by @aloysiavirgata The other ache between them had been easier to bear than this awkward aftermath. Counting Kisses by @lilydalexf Mulder and Scully go on a journey of discovery and escalating recognition in season 7, starting with Millennium and running through Je Souhaite. The journey involves a lot of kissing. Gravity Plays Favorites by anythingbutgrey The boyfriend goes quickly and the physics stays. That’s what she likes the most. A Greater Intelligence by TrapperII Everything seems clear to her again: his eyelashes fluttering lushly against his cheeks; the shifting colors in his eyes; the throb of his artery beneath her fingertips. Night and Light and the Half-Light by @joelyjo Well, you can’t start to write XF fanfic without writing something set around the events of ‘all things’, now can you? Out Into Nothing by Nynaeve Missing scene fic.

Parabiosis by Penumbra Science and Mysticism conjoin Partner in All Things by Livia Balaban Mulder was alone. Her voice on his machine revealed nothing. She said she’d sent a letter. The Physics of Strength and Flashbulb by @scienceandmysticism The thing about newness is that it seems so fragile, when really it’s supple, elastic, strong. / A flashbulb memory is a vivid image, figuratively seared into the mind, often accompanying a visceral reaction to an emotionally impactful event. Sign Language by emmbright Takes place after "all things" but mentions the events of "Per Manum" Sinners Come Down by @poeticsandaliens Six years into her marriage to Daniel, Scully meets Fox Mulder at a bar one night, and they get talking and fucking over alcohol and self-pity. Something Else by @discordantwords Might we then see the endless forks in the road that have shaped a life? And, seeing those choices, choose another path? Basically “It’s a Wonderful Life” through an X Files lens. Standing Still by KatyBlue Post-ep, All Things Suddenly by @mldrgrl A sequel to Bang Bang, My Baby Shot Me Down. Post-all things, Scully finally catches up to Mulder. Spoilers for pretty much half of season 6 and 7, but if you haven’t caught up by now, why are you here? Then You're His Minuend by amyhit This is not something normal girls do. Things You Said When You Thought I Was Sleeping by @somekindofseizure An “All Things” fic. Touch the Moon by Pteropod Lunchtime the day after the beginning and end of “all things”. In my world, M&S did not do the naked pretzel during the episode. Untitled by @foxmulders instead of a random hospital encounter, daniel waterson just knocks on scully’s door, hoping to rekindle things Untitled by @i-am-alittle-on-edge did we go through all of that just to become strangers again? Untitled by @lyndsaybones Moving from the Millennium kiss to a physical relationship and eventually rst. Untitled by @softnow their first time in all things mulder says to Scully that he doesn’t have a condom but Scully tells him that it doesn’t matter Wanting by @mldrgrl There can never be enough all things fics, right? Where to Look by Buckingham A fashionable look at the evolution of a relationship Yielding to Yesterday by Rocketman Sometimes the day after is just … the day after.

#new post #fic rec #roundup #all things #xfiles fanfic #xf fanfic #asks #sort of #there is so much good fic involving this episode #this list is probably missing something i will remember as soon as i post it

Hi, here to crowd source! What are some really good classic XF fics to read? I've read Parabiosis and most recently Iolokus (which I LOVED!). Just putting it out there: what classic fics do you recommend?

Oh man oh man oh man. *rubs hands together* Have you read the rest of Penumbra’s masterpieces? Have you read anything by Prufrock’s Love? Pru’s not my #1 favorite these days (no shade), but I feel like reading their stuff is a rite of passage. I’m also a big fan of Madeleine Partous, Livia Balaban, and the occasional story by Brandon D. Ray (who I hear is Not Very Nice, but with whom I have no personal experience). I’d be completely remiss not to mention @dashakay‘s Blinded By White Light as well.

Tumblies, heap this anon with recs!

Post Colonization / AU Tuesday

*Insert imaginary gif of Patty and Kristin doing the happy dance*

Philes, we have another Master Post for you! We don’t know about you, but we are obsessed with lists of fantastic fic, because what better way to keep track of great fic to read/reread??

A quickie reminder: this list is really a mixed bag. We have pre-colonization, current colonization, post colonization, and, of course, alternate universe. Now, we here at Txf Fic Chicks consider pretty much anything that strays away from what we know as canon to be AU (secretly, some of our favies are season 8&9 rewrites, though), so it covers a vast amount of fic.

Save this list, Philes, as it’s months worth of stories in one post. And as always, the links take you to our original posts that contain the rating, length, and trigger warnings.

Love you, mean it xo
