1. How many works do you have on AO3?
111 (I love that.)
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
98,556. (This pleases me, I like 98 numbers.)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
The X-Files, though ironically I've done a light crossover before.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
"Mr. Mulder, I Know Something About You" (alt. "Bill Scully")
"I Chose Another Path, Another Life"
"If I'm Carrying Marilyn Monroe's Purse"
"Considering Everything Else You're Keeping a Secret"
"I... I Think It Was a Gift"
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes, as promptly as possible. (I dislike a full inbox.)
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Um... probably Brief Encounter of the Interdimensional Kind
(Brief Encounter AU.)
Or "You're in a Very Dark Place".
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I mean... they're not strictly happy or angsty or etc. A mix, mostly.
But if I had to choose, perhaps "It's Not a Choice, but a Calling".
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Nope. I'd be amused if I did, though.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
No, the smut life is not for me.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Son of Egypt was my first (and first ever txf fic): Prince of Egypt.
The Hospital Where You Slept was longer: While You Were Sleeping.
"I Know You. It’s What I Do." and "No One Gets There Alone" was third: Beauty and the Beat 1987.
And the Brief Encounter AU was technically fourth (and longest.)
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Don't believe so. Translate away, if you choose.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I've beta-d a fic before.
I've written snippets back and forth with @baronessblixen (Mulder is missing, Diana might know why, Scully's on the trail.)
Other than that... can't recall.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Mulder and Scully.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Tena Mulder's possible romantic interests after her divorce. Good idea, but hard to justify with her canonical portrayal.
16. What are your writing strengths?
...Prose? Not too shabby with dialogue, either.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Typos. I cannot for the life of me spot them, no matter how many drafts, read throughs, and post-edits I do.
Also, description can be unclear at times.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I'd have to learn another language. Maybe someday.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
If childhood counts, then Star Wars. Sometime after, Lord of the Rings (childhood AU, very chaotic. Long since tossed.)
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Multi-chapters may be more technically interesting, but I do love my drabble compilations. All of 'em stand on their own legs while not departing (too much) from the spirit of canon. They have my heart.

1. This episode works so well bc Robert Patrick is SO GREAT. The memories coming back? The moment where John Doe looks down and John Doggett looks up? *chefs kiss*
2. When I tell you my husband (also rewatching), teen son (first watch, loves it a lot) & I all cheered when Scully walks into the San Antonio field office and Monica says but Kersh shut the whole task force down and Scully says yeah whatever Skinner is on his way to Mexico bc of course Scully and Skinner are gonna do their respective things regardless of permission. This household loves Walter Skinner. <3
3. "He walked out on me and my kids." *bribes cop* LOL Monica. I love her.
4. "Use the bus." YEEEEEES. *Immediately rolls the bus.* These two are actually such great weirdos. I love them together. We were robbed of the Doggett & Reyes show the later seasons could have been.
Okay but the thing I LOVE about this scene (other than the obvious) is GA's performance. Because at first, her energy is very classic-ridiculous-Mulder-why-do-I-even-indulge-you-*sigh*, but then he does the hips thing, and her mouth drops open in surprise, and suddenly her energy is this-is-giving-me-sexy-feelings-so-I-have-to-make-it-clear-that-I'm-serious-and-indifferent-and-not-at-all-compromised-emotionally.
