“Honey, I’m home!” “Living room!” Yep, that’s in there. Hear a sneak peek of Mulder and Scully meeting with Skinner in this clip from Audible. The series, based on the IDW Season 10 comics from Joe Harris, will be available July 18.
This week’s author may have cut her fic chops on a series that would make any 80′s kid smile, but we’re glad she made the leap to X-Files fic. Meet avocadoave! As a long-time Phile, she brings a great understanding of the characters and a sense of humor that sounds distinctly Mulder to her work.
A great example of that humor is “Sartorially Speaking.” Post-Season 10 Mulder and Scully share some banter over Daggoo and it cracks me up every time. I can picture the eye-rolling that’s going on in this dialogue-only story.
I love road trip Mulder and Scully, and Mulder’s ways of entertaining Scully in “In the Bag” are funny, sweet, and another great example of “so them, I can hear it.”
We all know TV can bring people together, and that includes our wayward heroes. A collaboration with pinebluffvariant, “Manca Qualcosa” shows Mulder and Scully re-opening communication after bonding over a recent TV show that stars someone who looks oddly similar to our favorite redhead. Do yourself a favor and go read this one now, I’ll wait!
We talked with avocadoave about writing, characters, and of course The X-Files.
How long have you been a Phile?
Since almost the beginning. I became aware of the show near the end of the first season. I had to watch on the DL. My parents were really strict about what and how much TV we could watch, and we definitely weren’t allowed to watch FOX, so my brother and I had to sneak and watch episodes when and where we could. I didn’t see the entire series until college when one of my roommates had the entire series on VHS. Watching it chronologically from the beginning was a transformative experience.
What was your first episode?
“Darkness Falls.” I remember the “nice trip to the forest,” and Scully’s jacket so clearly.
How long have you been writing fic?
Fic in general? Forever. I filled notebooks with stories as a kid, but they were all based on books–Sweet Valley Twins, The Baby-Sitters Club, Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, etc. The first time I wrote X-Files fanfic and posted it online was fall, 2015.
Last week we shared the news that La-La Land Records will be releasing a 2-CD set of Mark Snow’s music from Season 10 on April 25. You can find the details about the sale here. But if you’re curious about what exactly will be included in this new release, you’re in luck. La-La Land gave us a preview of the track listings! Take a look after the jump to see if tracks from your favorite episode made the cut.
