Fanwork of the Day: I Can't Take You Anywhere, a fanfic

[bugsfic.livejournal.com]

Thank you to the community for this opportunity to get the ol' XF writing muscles going.  I can't believe it's been 20 years!

In my typical nutty fandom fashion, I didn't watch The X-files when it started because I'm not interested in the paranormal and I thought DD was too good looking.  My mother and sister loved the show though, but my one chance to see it was a Christmas visit and Emily and I ended up ranting, who'd do that to a character!?

But after seeing Fight the Future, I decided to start following the show, caught up with VHS tapes (!) I rented over the summer, and was ready for the final years...Just as many of the hardcore fans were leaving.  Oh well.  But it's the still my first fully involved fandom, my first published fanfiction, my first chance to make friends and enemies with complete strangers!  Good times!

For my contribution, I wrote a story, I Can't Take You Anywhere.  

Quick modly note
