xf_book_clubWe 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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, asdashakay is always telling us, feedback matters.

Date: 2009-01-20 10:47 am (UTC)As to other humorous stories? Hard to say, as I think our tastes do tend to differ more often than they align, but I'll give it a shot and consult my "humor" tag on delicious...
Well, I've developed a bizarre love recently for fic I lovingly label as "meta fic," as in ones that examine silliness or slip-ups on the show, or are written from a bizarre or humorous perspective. Sadly, there are few out there that are really good. Here's what I've got though, for whatever it's worth:
Dear Mr. Mulder by Wombat (hilarious 3rd POV)
Untitled Random Casefile #4664 by Jess M. (classic author insert parody)
M. Luder, King of the "SETI Troopers" Fanfic by Livia Balaban (another classic, though it does focus, in an odd way, on the more depressing latter years)
Flea Market Economy by PunkM (complete classic, and has actually made me cry tears of laughter)
Sure, there's some odd stuff in there, but... well, I'm an odd duck. (I also maintain that the last story there is the one and only time I'll ever, EVER read gender-swap. I just don't think anyone but Punk could pull it off.) I've got a Kel story in there too, "Ricochet," but I'm sure you've read (if not already recced) that.
