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.


five things that never happened to dana scully

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.

I think the tags you used are fine. I don't think they're too spoilery -- but then, I didn't look at them until after reading the fic. But I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The way revelation is such a huge part of them. What's changed? What's different?

What I like about this -- and other -- "what if?" fics, is that it gives a bigger picture of who these characters are -- well, at least, as understood through the minds of the individual fic writers -- because you can see how they would act in situations the show would never have put them in. Reading this is actually jump-starting my brain to conjure up "what if?" scenarios of my own (which I may or may not turn into an actual fic, ha ha).

I don't think you should worry too much about the tags. I never look at them unless I'm searching for a fic, and I suspect that is true for most.
