I'm passing this on from our darling Headwife! Multi-fandom fic challenge that Harem Wives will LOVE!!


I challenge all you fic writers to write something about a secure government facility called Black Mountain.

Bonus points for a fandom I love (Sarah Connor Chronicles, Firefly, X Files, or Harry Potter).

Double bonus if it is actually in or under a mountain, or if things are uplifted or airlifted there.

Post links to your stories in the comments of this post!

wendalah1 has written Diana Fowley into her latest story - who else can we resurrect?! I'm extending the deadline for our "The Truth and Its Consquences" challenge. If you feature an Other Woman in any of your fanfiction, please be sure to post it here!

Also, we have a new "other woman" - ASAC Dakota Whitney, played by Amanda Peet in the new film. She is in desperate need of a backstory! Are you the one to write it? We also have Special Agent Monica Bannan, whose experiences in IWTB earn her a spot on the "XF Other Women" list for sure!

Length: 500-1000 words (feel free to excede that as your muse leads you!)
Subject: The Next Generation
Examples: Backstory on Dakota Whitney! Her POV during the events of I Want to Believe! Monica Bannan/Dakota Whitney slash! The possibilities are endless here, gang.
Rules: None, beyond the usual Harem rule of featuring an Other Woman prominently or in the lead role.
Deadline: Let's say October 1. I'll issue a new challenge in October.

As always, posting is open in haremxf, and you are not limited by the challenges posted here.

I hope it is still okay to post this here, although I missed the July 25th deadline. By a mile. I missed the word count, too. What can I say, it got away from me.

Title: An Everywhere of Silver
Author: wendelah1
Classification: AU, Angst
Rating: Teen, for language
Keywords: moviefic
Word count: 3,475
Subject: The Truth and Its Consequences: The Other Women After the End
Spoilers: Yes, although none of any significance. This story takes place before the movie begins.
Summary: What if Mulder and Scully had separated at some point during their time as fugitives together? What if there was a good reason?
Feedback: Yes. Please. Good or Bad, I need to know.

An Everywhere of Silver

This list shows episodes, by season, and the Other Women that feature prominently in each episode. All information is from the Official Site (supplemented by IMDb)

There are some really obscure Other Women (for instance, the woman working the lie detector in "Squeeze") that are not listed here. For the most part, if they have a name or a significant part to play, I've put them on the list. In episodes where women other than Scully have extremely small roles, I've listed whoever the site had as being in the episode; as a result, you may not even notice those characters when watching that particular episode. All credited F.B.I. agents are listed. Monica Reyes is not listed in individual episodes for season nine, since at that point she became a regular character.

This list will be updated with information from the new film as needed.

( Seasons Four through Six, including Fight the Future )

( Seasons Seven through Nine )

Okay, so it's been literally years since we had a fanfiction challenge here at the Harem. I'm not sure how many of us are still writing at all, let alone writing XF fanfiction (I know I am, and bardsmaid has been). But I had this idea and I thought I'd hand it to y'all and see if we can make something out of it.

After the end of The X-Files, we knew a couple of things about our Other Women.

Diana Fowley - presumed dead, with no reappearance after early season 7
Marita Covarrubias - alive and kicking. Made an appearance at Mulder's "trial" in "The Truth."
Monica Reyes - mortal peril in "The Truth." May have survived, may not have.
Kim, Skinner's assistant - Skinner was in danger, but we have no way of knowing what became of Kim, especially if Skinner (*sob*) died.
Shannon McMahon - supersoldier, fate unknown beyond season 8
Maggie Scully - alive and kicking, last seen at Scully's baby shower in season 8.

And of course, countless others. :-)

One other thing we know is ( casting spoiler for XF 2 )

Given the recent renewed interest in our beloved old fandom, I believe it's high time some Other Women fanfiction made it's way back into the stream. Hence, a challenge for you lovely ladies.

Length: 500-1000 words
Subject: The Truth and Its Consequences: The Other Women After the End
Examples: Maggie Scully learns about her daughter's disappearance. Marita Covarrubias uncovers another layer in the conspiracy with the aid of Jeffrey Spender. Mulder and Scully confront Shannon McMahon as they dig for more information regarding the 2012 invasion. Monica survives! Diana Fowley is not dead! You get the idea....
Rules: None, beyond the usual Harem rule of featuring an Other Woman prominently or in the lead role.
Deadline: XF movie premiere, July 25

Ultimately, I'd love to see whatever comes of this posted over at Ephemeral, but there's no obligation to do so.

I miss you guys. Let's play again for a bit, shall we?
