Making an announcement on Twitter today, FOX is looking for your best rendition of The X-Files theme on video. This is your chance to be featured in a TV promo. Create your video, keep it to 30 seconds or less, and submit it to them on Twitter using #TheXFilesPromo. Unfortunately the contest is only open to U.S. residents 18 and older. And you only have until 11:59 pm PT on September 9th to enter so get cracking! More details and rules available here.
Hope you had a great summer, Philes! We’re back with our Fan Author series. This week’s author is no stranger to fandom, and recently co-authored a project that stretches the boundaries of the usual fanfic experience. Meet bohoartist! If you haven’t read “Two Agents Missing, Presumed Dead” head over there, scroll to the bottom, and read. I’ll wait. Bohoartist and co-author piecesofscully used Tumblr to lay out their story piece by piece, with images, e-mails, and news articles. It’s a great read and fun to put the pieces together as you go.
If you like short, sweet, and a kick in the feels, try “The Healing Power of Touch.” Scully is trying to comfort Mulder after losing his mom in Sein Und Zeit and the glimpse of her thoughts after doing Teena Mulder’s autopsy sticks with you. If you’re looking for something a little more “adult,” then this hits the, er, spot. I’ll let you infer from the title what “Three Times Mulder and Scully Got Caught and One Time They Didn’t Care” is about!
We talked with bohoartist about, writing, inspiration, and of course, The X-Files.
If you've got a ticket for Sunday, October 8th, at New York City Comic Con, you're in luck. FOX will be debuting new footage from Season 11 during a panel with David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi and Chris Carter. The panel is scheduled for 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm ET at NYCC's Main Stage. But don't worry, if you can't make it to New York City, XFN will be there to bring you all the info.
