And we're back! Season 2 of Fandom X Archive has officially begun, and what better way to start the new season than by interviewing one of the people who made The X-Files magic happen? Chris Waddell was part of the make-up and practical effects team on The X-Files between seasons 3-5, and he was also one of the "aliens" in the iconic episode, "José Chung's 'From Outer Space' ".  

Chris and I had a wonderful chat about his time on the show, but also about life, the universe, and everything. Special appearance by Elsa the cat :)

Queer ships and the right to slash your favourite characters

Fandom X Archive Podcast is back for another season! This time, we have with us a very special guest - actor Larry Musser, who's been on The X-Files many times, and played many memorable characters. Larry and me sat down to chat about his career, his work on The X-Files, and much more.

We continue the new season of our podcast with a dramatic reading of Too Much Cheese by my friend, Katie Parsons. Katie and I  "met" on Bluesky, and when I read her story, I knew I had to feature it in The Fanfic Files series.

The Fanfic Files: "Too Much Cheese" by Katie Parsons

In this episode we're exploring the history of one of the biggest ship in The X-Files fandom - Mulder/Krycek. We're taking a closer look at themes like redemption, abuse, sexuality, and representation in the world of slash fanfiction.

Leather and Lace: a brief history of the Mulder/Krycek ship on The X-Files

Welcome to another episode of Fandom X Archive. This month, I sat down to talk to the host of the Hey Danny, It's Mulder podcast, and my personal friend, Shaun O'Boyle. This interview quickly turned into a conversation between two fans discussing everything from the use of "generative ai" in creative spaces, the rumored X-Files reboot, and queer representation in our fandom.

In lieu of a May episode, we did two LIVE fanfiction reading on my Twitch channel. You can now watch both of them on my Youtube channel! 

"The X-Factor" - an X-Files/Buffy crossover by Ashley Evens and Teresa Owens. 

"A bored vampire ropes in a hapless FBI agent to stir up his town. Because Mulder is the agent in question, things don't turn out like they should."
