*GASP* I totally missed that there was a new story!!! And no, not burned out on PL, the writing quality is too good for that. Also I love Dr Scully's School For Exceptional Boys (I think that's the title?) oh so much and haven't read all of PLs stuff yet though I did get stuck at the alternate universe M&S post-civil war era story and sort of lost my taste a bit there.
Yeah it wasn't so much that the VS8 stories were pure fluff, more like they were just the same basic story recycled over and over and over. Gak. Plus Mulder was critically injured in every episode about, which was too much even for the XF, particularly when they were trying to keep a running cohesive plot. Nobody recovers from both a broken arm and a broken leg in just 3 weeks, or from abdominal gunshot in 2 weeks. XF was always unrealistic in terms of so many things, but they also were only occasionally specific with timelines, but VS8 was pretty much trying to date absolutely everything. Anyway... Will go read the new one!
