Yeah, I thought it seemed all too real. Violent death is never a good thing, but if our characters have to die like that, I would rather it be from an X-file. This is completely irrational, of course. Dead is dead.

I always want a plot; that's probably why I like her longer, plottier stories better.

One thing I like about this fandom is that compared to other fandoms I read in, it generates a lot of plotty stories.

Having said that, however, I tend to read more for style than for plot. (Usually. It all depends - lately I've been devouring casefiles like mad.)

I just didn't want it to seem like I was criticizing anyone for not writing plot.

I was thinking that I might prefer it if they didn't die on an X-File, because it might make it worse for whomever was left behind, with the guilt and everything. Or maybe they would find comfort in the death having (hopefully) some sort of purpose. If they were to die together, it should be on an X-File.

Thanks for the fic rec - I liked this enough to want to read more from this author.
