Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: None (gen)
Author(s) Website(s): Unknown, but check Gossamer for more of their work.
Why This Must Be Read: Two years ago, when I was going camping for a week, I made a plea to my friends for good, long stories I could print out and bring with me so I woudn't lose my mind with no 'net-fic access. imkalena responded with Oklahoma, which she'd already printed for herself, and wanted a good home for. It was very badly formatted, with no line breaks to speak of. But after the first page, I just didn't care.

The story is set pre-X-Files, when Mulder was the Boy Wonder of the ViCAP program. It's canon that he "burned out" as a profiler, and this story is one possible answer to how. It's violent and scary at times, and not at all pretty. But Jumpin' Jeebus, it's good.

I won't waste any more of your time -- Go! Read!

Ohh, man, this was, I believe, the very first piece of fanfiction of any sort that I ever read, and what an amazing place to start. I still remember how totally it knocked me on my ass, not just for the "You mean a person can actually *write* stories about the show??" factor, but also because it is one hell of a ride.

The story that . . . did everything I could possibly want from fic. Loved it so much, carried it around, feeling lightheaded after reading it.

*sigh*

I remember when this story first came out. Amp and Goo posted one chapter a day. It was freakin' torture. I would rush home for lunch and pray they'd posted a chapter overnight. I'd read each chapter twice, once over lunch and then again when I got home from work. It's a truly amazing piece of work.

I download long stories to my palmpilot. I started reading this one on Sunday night and I actively resented that I had to go to sleep. I stayed up til 2 am last night finishing it. Wow, thank you so much for the recommendation. I was totally immersed in the world the authors created.
