Okay so...(consider this yoru two-cents warning)

over the years, I've done a lot of beta, and some of that has been for people who dislike Mulder and for people who dislike Scully. And the reason that some, if not all of them, write - or attempt to write - MSR is because that's what sells. (Some eventually moved on to writing slash, ostensibly because that gives then an opportunity to show their favourite in a *more equal* relationship, a theory I don't buy even a teeny tiny bit, but I digress). But as we've noted, you can often feel the antipathy for either Mulder or Scully in a lot of these stories, and a writer has to be more than just good with a turn of phrase to make it work.
