Hi. I'm Lilydale. I like The X-Files, Gillian Anderson, and David Duchovny a lot. A lot, a lot, a lot. I have stories you can read at Archive of Our Own. They're about The X-Files, which I like a lot.

Thank you so much for all you do, your fic lists and your Old School X series are some of the best things on the internet. I've been amassing a mental library of fics and have gotten to the point of thinking I need some sort of system to keep track of them all and I was wondering if you have a system that you use. @randomfoggytiger recommended that I ask you and it took me a minute because you are famous to me and I didn't want to bother you!

It's not a bother at all! I'm also not famous, at least I don't feel like it, but it's sweet of you to say.

My X-Files fic organization system is not really one that would be of help to anyone else, unfortunately. Much of it is in my head, with me remembering authors and/or titles, and/or remembering where (AO3, tumblr, Gossamer, etc.) I first read a story when all I can otherwise remember are vague story details. So I start there when trying to recall a fic.

I also have a very large number of stories saved. I started saving XF fics during the show's original run, so I mean it: it is A LOT of stories. I did not start this saving with an organization system meant to last years and years (who knew I'd care?!), and it's too messy for me to recommend. It still gives me an easy place to search for a story I know I've seen (if not read) before. I also often remember enough of what I read to have ideas of what to search for if I'm looking for a specific fic or something that fits a particular theme.

TL, DR: I can't help much in developing a good fic tracking system, I'm sorry! But I'm still happy to have gotten the nice ask.

“I’d like to know how you decided to make Scully and Mulder so deadpan. What was behind that? What kind of conversations did you have to come up with that ‘X-Files look’ and that Scully and Mulder deadpan, quiet, whispered conversations; that way of dealing with things in the program?”

Absolutely amazing how AO3 is a part of the internet that doesn't sneak in any ads and doesn't have an algorithm and doesn't watch you or record how much time you spend looking at each fic or whatever. It's just right there to use for free. Legend

THE X-FILES (1993-2018) | S03E15 ‘Piper Maru’

#piper maru#what is wrong with these two#scully knows practically everything#no detail is too small for her to recall instantaneously#and mulder inappropriately lets her#and bystanders at work#know how much he loooooooves her#but she wholly ignores him#and he drapes it in a joke#and omg it is only season 3#and the closest we're getting to them making out#is a shot fixated on their lips#what is wrong with the people who made this show#anyway#this show is very normal#tags out of control

👽 Random X-Files Fic Rec

This story is so very satisfying. Mulder and Scully are on the run after “The Truth” but have settled for a time at a house in North Carolina. They chat on the porch about memories and each other before moving inside, and Scully’s internal musings throughout all of it are one giant joy. Title: Among Momentary Days Author: Innisfree Summary: Mulder and Scully, one night in North Carolina, sitting on a porch, after three years on the run. Length: 57k (~10,550 words) Classification: MSR, Angst Rating: NC-17 Spoilers: Through “The Truth” and specific spoilers for “William” and Season 6 Favorite line: The tone of his voice is that uniquely Mulderish blend of remorse mixed with hurt. Sorry that he’s the reason we had to leave that life, hurt that I might not remember every moment of it as clearly as he does. Read the story! (If you have trouble with the Gossamer link, change “krycek” to “fluky”)
