Mod post: Fanworks wishlist prompt meme

This was fairly popular last year, so let's try it again.

This is a prompt meme/comment ficathon, but with a little twist - a prompt meme where you ca prompt all those fanworks that you wish existed.

A vid to that song that decribes Mulder to a tee, a tag to that episode that left you unsatisfied, that perfect crossover fandom, an artwork of that scene in that fic that you love... The prompts can be for any medium, and as generic or as specific as you want. You can even ask for recs, if what you want to see is something that you think must already exist.

There are no quarantees that your wish will be fullfilled, but there's always a chance someone will be inspired to create that fanwork you've always craved, or maybe it has already been done, and someone can point you to it.

If you decide to fill someone's wish, you can either post it directly to the comments here at any time, or wait until your posting day. Either way, we'll be collecting all the fills here to the masterlist at the end of the fest.

Oh, you're not alone. I've wanted to read this since before I even knew about fanfiction. :)

YES. Why hasn't someone written this? It's such a great idea.

Mulder is trapped in this horrible marriage to someone he doesn't know, with two kids he didn't father and a government job hiding the truth. It's like a custom-designed Mulder hell. Now that Scully is out of a job, she could go anywhere.

It's a perfect set-up for an AU.

It sounds like the pitch to a bad movie.

It isn't.

Oh! This is great! Thanks for updating. My life has been a little crazy for the past few months and not very conducive to participation or fanfic reading in general. But I try to lurk occasionally and your update triggered a nice little diversion for me today.

I'm glad you liked it. It made me very happy, too. Plus, maybe it means my other offbeat prompts might get filled some fine day.
