Story 137: "Mistletoe Madness" by Syntax6
"But, but...we just read a story by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
syntax6!"
I know, I know...but she's such a great writer and I know you'll love it. The premise is a little silly but in a really adorable way. Besides, it is a pure pleasure to watch her work, avoiding every possible misstep and keeping Mulder and Scully completely in character. As always during this time of year, I am looking for something humorous for distraction. Maybe you are, too. For me, "Mistletoe Madness" fits the bill: it's a charming, funny, light romantic comedy, increasingly rare in a fandom that thrives on angst.
Read "Mistletoe Madness".
Those of you who can't get enough of the genre can go read holiday fic at The Xmas Files. Click on "Holiday Reading." I've only read a handful of these. Anyone care to suggest a personal favorite?
Keep an eye on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Hahaha. I know! I'm so brave! Reccing a popular holiday story by a popular author at Christmas time. The nerve!
Oh, I didn't mean YOU. You could rec any title at all and people would trust YOU. (Incidentally, and meanly, am I the only one who is driven mad by that "Pounding your Head Against a Red-Haired Brick Wall" title. Something like that. I can't find it.)
I mean me reccing to nonfans. Of course, no aspect of fandom can ever be adequately explained to nonfans.
there you go
Yeah, the title drives me nuts, too. Also the first person pov. The character is likable enough but I had a hard time reading the story anyway.
I wonder if that would be a good theme. Point of view? Maybe I'll do a poll...
Of course, no aspect of fandom can ever be adequately explained to nonfans.
Although, I think most people are fannish about something, they just don't call it that. Fanfiction is hard to explain, period. Even to fans.

Isn't that the truth? I have NOTHING to talk to normal humans about anymore...
