Sorry, I hope I didn't offend when I called the Luxor tacky. Would cheesy have been a better choice? My first fandom was Stargate SG-1, where the pyramids really were landing strips for spaceships, so tacky is pretty much canon. Clearly, I have a high tolerance for tackiness in my source material... I wonder if anyone has written SG-1 fic where the Luxor was built primarily to serve as a landing strip/headquarters for the coming invasion, and was owned by the aliens? Probably. Fandom that size—stands to reason everything's been written, kind of like with our fandom.
rivkat always writes lines that have me trying to decide if I love them unreservedly or hate them. His mouth taking hers "like Sherman marching through Georgia", for one. It's definitely vivid.
Yeah, there are a lot of lines like that in the sex scene in particular, but I think overall it works. The tone is right for this story: humorous and a little over-the-top.
I am positive people suspected that Anubis was a collective. The styles are completely different, from story to story. Yeah, I think rivkat's style is pretty distinctive, if pushed a bit for effect here.
He had, reluctantly, come to the conclusion that Scully had simply decided not to know how he felt, the same way she'd decided not to know about colonization.
Ha ha! That does sound like it came right from Mulder's brain. He's wrong, of course, but that isn't exactly unusual...
