Story 71: "Waiting for Agent Right" by Kel

We have reached the last of the travel theme stories. Travel theme, you are thinking? Never mind.

We are just doing humor this week, as a change up from last week's very plotty, angst-laden offerings. This week's story was nominated by [livejournal.com profile] hlbr. As I recall, in "Waiting for Agent Right," it is first season, Mulder and Scully are in the first class lounge of the "world's ugliest airport," waiting for a weather-delayed flight. Agent Mulder is getting high on free champagne; Agent Scully is not. Hi jinks ensue.

Waiting for Agent Right

For those of us with way too much time on our hands, I am arbitrarily introducing a new feature, to appear maybe every week, maybe not. I like to keep you guessing.

It's a Book Club Rerun: go check out our discussion on The Airport by the great Jess M. Have fun!

As always, go read, come back, we'll talk. If you have a suggestion for reading, you can let us know here. And remember, as [livejournal.com profile] dashakay is always telling us, feedback matters.

It is so odd to tune in on this Inauguration Morn and see Leucocrystal's rec of some of the best fics in the world. (Her taste in humor is excellent, so I'm confident she'll come around on "Waiting.")

I was about to reread "Flea Market Economy," as I too think it's the best gender swap story in the world, and I am not too proud to have read the rest. (There's a kind of interesting thing by Joann Humby.) I was going to check whether it would pass W's noromo standard; I'm sure it would. But I mainly just wanted to, you know, reread it.

Aww, you think I have excellent humor taste? Thank you! I'm very flattered, considering where that's coming from.

It is totally the best. I can't even remember why I first decided to read it, way back when (because I was convinced genderswap just couldn't be done in a way I'd ever want to read), and then of course I was sucked in and enjoying the hell out of myself. Awesome.
