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 would like to recommend a couple more. No problem if for any reason you don't want to do any or all of those, they're just ideas to help you out if you can't find any others.

'Four Minutes,' Deslea R. Judd (http://krycek.gossamer.org/display.php?FourMinutes.Judd) ("SAC Darius Michaud has four minutes to live. Funny how that changes your point of view. Written for the Purity "What's Your POV?" challenge.") It's FTF fic. It's angst, and it's weird, but I like the whole thing until the end, which doesn't really convince me too much (the how it's written part, not the actual stuff happening).

'Waiting for Agent Right,' by Kel. (http://krycek.gossamer.org/display.php?WaitingForAgentRight.Kel) ("Killing time in an anonymous airport. Mulder wants a toaster.") First season. This one is humorous. And sort of weird as well, but there are bits I just love.

'Synapse,' by Pusher (http://krycek.gossamer.org/display.php?Synapse.Pusher). ("XF/Hellraiser crossover. Mulder & Scully investigate several bizarre murders relating to a mysterious puzzle box. Mulder is offered his ultimate heart's desire, but the price expected from him is too much.") I found it very very disturbing on several levels, and it's still one of my favourites. I don't really know why. And... don't know anything about Hellraiser, so that may change things.

'Arcades,' by Sarah Ellen Parsons (http://fluky.gossamer.org/cgi-bin/read.cgi?ArcadesI.Parsons). As you can probably guess, this one is Arcadia fic. I have a weakness for those, and his one, as damn sad as it is, pushes all the right buttons for me. My other favourite Arcadia fic is 'Honeymoon Video,' by Penumbra (http://slightlyfoxed.net/honeymoonvideo.html) which goes to show I have eclectic tastes (meaning, I don't only like prOn ;)).

Uff, those are a lot of fics. Though mostly just short ones, sorry.

Actually, short is good. I will post them as we get closer to the holidays, and people get even busier. I think I know what I am going to post Thanksgiving week, too. This is good, this is very helpful, thanks so very much.

I'm glad it helped!

I've been reading a lot of fic on my own, and it's been a lot of fun, but I'm happy I will be reading with other people now. I like discussion!
