Hola!

[starrylizard]

Yes, I am still alive. Been acting a higher position at work and busy generally and online stuff has fallen into the cracks again. Oy!

How are you all doing?

Another thing that has taken my spare time of late is Netflix and Presto, both of which I am getting free right now (ZOMG! for a few weeks more anyway). Ahhhhh! So much to watch! It's awesome!

Back in the day I was addicted to both The X Files (probably my first and most-loved TV show - I never missed an episode in all 10 seasons, I kid you not...) and Stargate SG1. Both of which I watched long before I knew what a "fandom" was. I watched them religiously. Just ask my mum, she had to tape them if I was out. LOL!

Sooo, I've been doing a bit of re-watching on Presto and Netflix and I suddenly thought... Fandom! Specifically X Files Fandom. Was there one? Is there good fan fiction out there? If anyone can point me to some good h/c for Mulder and Scully, I would seriously love you right now. I'm kinda excited by the concept and hoping there's all this awesomeness out there I've never thought to go look for. (Also in need of a good Mulder and Scully icon.)

Anyhoo. I need to catch up on all the current shows. But the rewatching caught me in a vortex of XFiles and Stargate love, so I haven't much fandomy to chat about. You still all rock!

OOh also saw the latest Avengers movie. How did you all feel about it? Especially the whole Hawkeye thing, which I found a little... weird (trying not to be spoilery here). Lemme know. I'm so very curious!

xxx Love you guys!

Glad to see you around =)

Loved the Avengers movie, but found it hard to keep up in places, or maybe that's just me. The Hawkeye things was a little weird but didn't really bug me.

Hii. *manic wave*

Someone was talking me the other day that his family is canon in the comics, but only so they can be killed off. *sigh*

Did you hear the new series (6 eps) of X-Files starts on January 24th 2016? (Dean Winchester's dream birthday, no doubt.)

I never missed an ep of X-Files (or SG1!) either. In fact I remember my geek brother introducing me to an X-Files 'bulletin board' on that new fangled internet thing just as season 2 started in the US...

Haha! Yes I've heard. Facebook was abuzz.

I only didcovered the Internet years later when I was watching SGA. ;-)

X-Files was the first fandom I read fanfic and watched music videos in. I remember racing home with my friend one night when she suddenly remembered that she forgot to put a new tape in for it to record. Oh, the panic!

Stargate was the first fandom I participated in.

Eternal love for both.

Hawkeye thing was unexpected, but I didn't mind it. I liked the idea of it being a safe haven for them all. First movie remains my favorite.

As for XF fandom--Oh yeah! I just recycled binders full of XF fanfic I had printed off eons ago. Have you ever read the Blood Ties series by Dawn? http://dawnsunrise.tripod.com/bloodties.html It's AU. Mulder finds out he has a brother after his mom dies. Though Mulder and Scully are a wee bit OOC some of the time maybe, it's my all time favorite X-Files fanfic series. I just reread them recently and it's a total bummer to realize that Grey (Mulder's brother) doesn't exist in canon. lol It's Mulder/Scully with loads of awesome Skinner and big brother Grey. TONS of whumpage and cases to solve, too.

OH, I just found this! http://ioho.org.uk/index.html

I think TexxasRose and Snark were prominent writers in the fandom.

Here are a couple favorites music videos in case you're interested.

Series tribute. OMG SO GOOD.

Let me know of anything awesome you stumble upon!

Wooot! Thank you! Will let you know. So far A03 had a few things, but not much. Lots of Mulder/Krychek and Mulder/Skinner which doesn't interest me. ;-)
