syntax6's long unfinished WIP, abandoned in 2008 after six gripping chapters. To my surprise and delight, she has returned to fandom, and over the past few weeks, posted the remainder of the story. She updated her website, too, adding a half dozen or more stories in a new fandom. It looks good.
If you haven't already, email her some feedback, then please come back and let us know what you think.
Remember, the nomination post is always open for your suggestions.

She updated her website, too, adding a half dozen or more stories in a new fandom. It looks good. It's post Fight the Future, and Scully has moved to Utah. Unfortunately for her, the X-Files followed her there. She must not have noticed that the state emblem is a big old beehive. Poor Scully. When will she learn?

Date: 2013-08-29 01:55 am (UTC)I did really like the story and I enjoyed reading Original Sin. The phones stood out, because I remember my first experiences with video phones and smartphones and I was blown away, and I am certain that was after 2005. I thought it was weird that everyone in the story was using them willy-nilly with no references to it being 'new' technology. I guess after years of being saturated with the technology, we kind of take it for granted.
My opinion of Ruben is more rooted in my interpretation of Scully. Sometimes I have trouble seeing Scully as a feminine character, and whenever I see her become emotional over men it annoys me. That's my opinion rather than a critique though.
I really did enjoy the rest though. The PI was well developed and I was very sad when her partner died. It was particularly disturbing to see a Samantha that is cold and manipulative, but a good kind of disturbing. It's like imagining someone we want to love but finding out they are less than perfect. I love stories with Samantha because she is such a blank character (really) and we can give her whatever personality we want.
