The Airport by Jess Mabe

There are two or three that should be read in sequence. She should tell in the beginning if the story is a sequel to another one.

Gillian just received nominations in the Best Supporting Actress (Hannibal) and Best Actress categories of the Saturn Awards.

Goshen by Bone Tree (and then after that the rest of the stories in the series, all very long and excellent) Mindprints by Analise Sixty Degrees of Separation by Barbara D. Increments by DashaK Syntax6 does great MSR with angst within larger stories, too.

Yes, it's here at the Wayback'd version of Chronicle X -- Dance Without Sleeping .

It was his second. He directed Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man.

Not much of a fan if he doesn't know that the last book in the Bible is REVELATION. No "s" on the end. It's a ridiculously stupid mistake to make given all he has to do is look it up.

Yes, they absolutely would have left her on life support. They don't haul dead bodies away in front of the family either.

Yeah, I don't know what they were talking about there. Hate CC's nonsensical writing? Okay, sure. But hey, we ought to be used to that by now. ;) If it was a jab at shippers, then yeah, don't know what they would be talking about, but that's just me.

There were a few scenes that, IMO, will warrant re-watching, particularly the last one, but only if you watch it on mute because Chris Carter should have his keyboard taken away from him. Oy. He needs to never write about religion -- anybody's -- ever. It's nothing in the least bit damaging to the MSR, if that floats your boat. The last scene, with Mulder and Scully smiling a lot and holding hands is great, but CC's dialogue hurts my ears and addles my brain. HOWEVER, the song right at the end put a stupid grin on my face. I'm not spoiling that though. Miller and Einstein are fine -- no threat to the MSR and frankly, no threat to be the new agents, IMO. Lauren Ambrose was good, but Robbie Armell, bless his heart, reminded me of a little boy dressed up in his father's suit. HATED the hallucination stuff... seriously dumb. So, basically there was a fun M&S scene at the beginning and a great one for the eyes at the end, not so much the ears. Please, CC, pass the keyboard to the next writer in line. There is one scene in the hallucination that ties into the overall story. The rest I'm fairly certain is due to CC smoking something and wondering how many close ups of shapely butts he can fit in there.

There is absolutely no hooking up of Mulder and Scully with anyone else in Babylon. The hallucination part is so tremendously dumb and second-hand embarrassing, however, that that's reason enough alone for fans to hate it. (Hulu mistakenly put Babylon up on their site early for a few hours tonight... I and quite a few others managed to watch it before they wised up.)

Oh, and eventually, another must-close was when Mulder or Scully "let out a breath he (or she) didn't know they had been holding." What a cliched line that became! Whenever I beta-read, I always insisted that be changed or dropped. Might as well be waving a giant red cliche flag.

Yeah, that's an automatic closure of the story for me, too. Also an automatic exit is if the author's first mention of Mulder or Scully includes their full name -- "Special Agent Fox William Mulder entered his office at the FBI and was surprised to find his partner Dana Katherine Scully already there." We know who they are and what their titles are, do not waste our time introducing them to us!

Feb 23, actually. (I can't believe I know this.)
