Are you looking for a specific X-Files fic? Hereâs a way to find it.
Hey guys! This is really, really exciting. Iâm posting this news on someone elseâs behalf. A fellow phile and lover of fic has created an extremely simple to use search engine for for fic: liminalfic.org
âLiminal is a simple search engine for X-Files fic. I noticed how hard it was to search for stories when you couldnât search for words or even categories (contains the word âduckâ and is an NC-17 Krycek/Phoebe Green AU? you know you wish you could find that), and with the fic distributed all across the internet. This fixes that. Note: To avoid archiving against the wishes of any authors, no stories are hosted on Liminal directlyâIâm just making it easier to find them. Currently only stories from Gossamer are completely searchable, but Iâm slowly adding fic from all the other old sites as well. Enjoy!â â the creator.Â
The phrase âsimple search engineâ is wonderfully, blessedly serious. Gossamer can be notoriously difficult to navigate.
You can search by episode:
etc.Â
You can search for your extremely specific trope:
You can narrow by pairing, genre, and POV. I wanted to find a fic that I read and all I could remember was that it was post-One Son, and that it included the words âpigsâ and âforgiveâ. Holy hell.
I found it.
This is incredible.Â
I tend to avoid Gossamer because if Iâm looking for something particular, I know itâs not the best archive to give me what I want. This website changes that completely. Iâm absolutely psyched to use it.
Weâre a unique fandom because of how much we interact with the past. This helps us preserve that connection, and gives us access to great fic we might never have stumbled upon otherwise.Â
Give it a whirl!
