xf_book_clubSo... this is the first time I've posted a rec here, obviously! I'd have backed out like the easily intimidated little fandom squirrel I am, but Wendy poked me with a (figurative) stick and asked me to post this for her, and who am I to deny our lovely moderator? ;) After all, she asked for more humorous suggestions in a thread in the previous rec post, and I was the one who just had to jump in and open her big mouth. I can't be sorry about that though, because either you've read this fic before (it is rather infamous) and will not be at all sorry to give it a re-read, or you never have and you clearly need to remedy that right now.
Believe me, I'm the first picky reader to shake their head in disdain when you say "genderswap" to me, especially if you do it with a straight face. It's been so long since I first read this fic, I can't even remember what ultimately pushed me over that "NO" line and into it... I'm guessing I gave it an initial shot because I was on a PunkM kick and figured that if anyone were to do it right, this would be my one shot to see for sure.
And of course, it's done wonderfully. Hilariously, incredibly, you've-got-to-read-it-to-understand; all that and more. I can't help but wonder whether PunkM has ever had a dream of some sort that involves waking up inexplicably in someone else's body, because that's how it feels to read this fic, and it is all the more excellent for it. And as you might imagine, hijinks most definitely ensue. (How could they not?)

Re: A cold fish in tropical waters...
Date: 2009-01-28 01:45 pm (UTC)As to MBTI vs. enneagram typing, I'm not partial to one over the other. (In fact, I'm not even sure what my own enneagram type is...) I do remember this particular essay about Mulder really clicking with me though, because it helped explain to me in another way why Mulder as a character comes so naturally to me and why I identify and sympathize with him so easily -- I'm an INXP (split literally down the middle between INTP and INFP), which is pretty much as close as you can be to Mulder's type without being quite the same.
