And the results are in... After careful consideration by our busy but amazingly gracious guest judge, actress Annabeth Gish, the winner of the 2012 XFN Pumpking Carving Contest is Amy, for her rendition of Navajo wise man, Albert Hosteen.
Amy will be receiving a care package from XFN with a couple of Fight The Future action figures and a few other surprises!
Thanks to everyone that participated this year, it was indeed a very varied collection of works, lots of talent! You can check them out here.
Stay tuned for more giveaways and contest coming soon.
I remember when I discovered X-Files News. I remember the feeling so clearly that I can vividly feel the smell of my office. They had cleaned the floors with some lavender cleaner and someone had burned the coffee in the break room down the hall. That's not quite important right now, but in retrospect, it was probably the most remarkable moment of my life.
It really was, I just didn't know it, yet.
I wasn't lucky enough to be part of the founding team of this website, but I joined shortly after. The long hours that come with working at XFN became second nature; the constant thinking and planning, all the cork and dry erase boards, all the ideas scribbled in napkins, and the heartache and the rewards of being part of a fandom that outweighs any other in enthusiasm, intelligence and ambition.
X-Files News turns five today. According to the Center of Disease Control, if we went to preschool, we should be able to recite the alphabet by now, name colors and numbers and hop on one foot for extended periods of time.
I'm happy to say that we seem to be healthy students. We have excelled at this by practicing our favorite request: "Greenlight XF3." Many of you have joined us in our constant chant for this desire and we're delighted to be in such company.
