Nomination post

[emily-shore.livejournal.com]

Is there a story that you would like to discuss? Do you want to talk about some of the classics of the genre, like "Iolokus" or "Parabiosis"? Do you want to pick shorter stories, so that we can fit in more variety? Do you like casefiles? Character studies? The possibilities are endless.

Nominate your choices here, and support the nominations for other stories that interest you. Once we have a few suggestions, I'll try to draw up a schedule that suits everyone.

I'd like to rec How to Fake an Orgasm (http://home.early.com/~salmone/howtofake.txt) by V. Salmone (Punk and Sab).

It's a lovely, happy fic set in some alternate season six where Mulder goes on a string of serial dates, only to unexpectedly settle down with one of them. It eventually does end up as Mulder/Scully, but when I first read it I genuinely thought it wasn’t going to. Partly because neither Mulder nor Scully’s feelings are overt, partly because Sue (Mulder’s girlfriend) isn’t treated like a stand-in for Scully.

M & S seem happier? more well-adjusted? than they do in most fics, which I enjoy, because I don’t want to believe that they were “all angst, all the time.” I’m curious about others' opinions on this subject though - is the fic too happy?

I think there is one story ahead of you in the queue, but I have to check. I am going to post the next story Friday after the strike ends my time, or Saturday, depending on how I feel.
