Story 198: "five things that never happened to dana scully" by threeguesses

The next fic was nominated by [livejournal.com profile] lightlack and enthusiastically seconded by myself. It’s written by [livejournal.com profile] threeguesses, who is one of my favorite writers to come out of the pre/post IWTB era. Her writing in this fandom was not prolific, but her stories have always stood out (at least for me) for their powerful concepts, enthralling emotional currents, and the deceptive simplicity of threeguesses’ writing. Undoubtedly you know how "five things" fics work, in which case you also know the title of this week’s fic tells you just about everything that can be revealed about it without spoiling the sense of discovery that comes with each new segment.

The author is still around and writing up a storm (though sadly not in this fandom), and I’m sure she would appreciate feedback. There’s lots to say about this fic, so please do let us know what you think. And, as always, the nomination post is open for new suggestions.

You know, I also believe that it's never too late to comment on a fic. I think we should establish some kind of, um, board convention or tradition whereby someone can say, "I think the third chapter of this fic fails on account of blah, blah, AND...by the way...I've added an interesting take to the fic two discussions back, so everybody rush right over!" Or words to that effect. Because if it doesn't get mentioned it won't get read.
