     Just another note: some people are apparently concerned that Muldertorture stories are plotless, but I think a lot of our stories are plotless, and I don't have much of a problem with that, although I do enjoy plotted stories with morals more.

     I love Muldertorture as much as anyone, but that was without a doubt the most disgusting XF episode I have ever seen.

     She writes a lot of series, so that should keep me busy. And they're all lovely and angsty, with lots of Muldertorture.
