their reading here rather than the newsgroup, since it's nothing

can help flesh out the details of an episode or spark story ideas. |

to bed as we are. |

The Relationship
Guide to the X-Files: Kipler's *snort*
inducing capsule summaries of the shipper highlights of episodes.
New favorite from Amor Fati--"She cups his face in her hands
and gazes tenderly at him. She loves him so much at this moment
that
it hurts! But she has to leave because Mulder's just had brain
surgery and all, so she drags her fingers down to feel, for the
first time, the lush, ripe perfection of his lips." Oh,
yeah, baby! |
|
|
|

site has a little bit of everything, mostly *snorts* |

definations of 'squidge' and 'schmoopy' handy. |
