I've been thinking, the past few weeks, about how even Supernatural, my current destiny-heavy show, doesn't play around with the concept of predestination as much as Flash...

A few days ago, someone was talking about fic and the phrase "most famous fic in our fandom" came up. I'm not sure what story she had in mind but surely "Iolokus" has to be a contender for that title. I have seen it nominated by many people for the best fan fiction novel, not just in our own, but in any fandom. I have also seen people say they couldn't finish it because Mulder and Scully were too "out...

Hi. So I have to take a short hiatus. I may pop in to post once or twice, but nothing regular. I'm not sure how long. About 2 weeks, if I can stay away that long.
