It's 11/21, and to Borrow from Spaced...

"You weren't there at the beginning! You don't know how good it was, how important!"*

Ah, The X-Files, that be all and end all of internet fandom, as they say. My introduction to fanfic (I'd read some Trek 'zines, but not really) and frankly, the entire internet. Remember? No one had it then. I was in college, and I'd hide out in the chemistry lab study room at the only computer in the building that had net access. I'd abuse my TA powers (it was a locked room - regular students couldn't use it most of the time) to print out terrible scans of magazine covers and pages of fic. Sigh...good times. Speaking of, remember that it's almost December, which means it will soon be time for December Lady's annual advent calendar. *squee* Come play, or at least enjoy!

Note: I unpacked the box containing this tape, and many others just like it, today by pure coincidence. But when I realized it was November 21, well...I had to share. Yes, I've since replaced my tapes with DVDs, and I'm most likely to watch TXF on Netflix Streaming these days, but I just can't part with these just yet. Soon, I think, but not just yet.
* And yes, I realize many of you were, but the line is too fun to pass up.

First fanfic I ever posted to the net was an x-files fic... ah, my old alt.rec.tv.x-files days ;D

Ah, nostalgia... *sniff*

I don't write TXF. I don't know why. I just don't. My only foray into that fandom as a writer is the whacked-out Dr. Horrible crossover, "Real Villains Wear Pink." Now, I'm actually quite fond of that insanity, but it still doesn't make me want to write XF fic. I read it, but I don't write it. *shrug*
