Also, take my opinion on a curve, I have this sadistic Muldertorture/Mulderangst gene in me...

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.

Yeah, that was pretty stupid, actually. But still, a great ep. I can't believe Shiban wrote it. I can't believe he gave us Muldertorture.

As soon as Mulder stiuck[sic] his paw in the goo, I thought of all the times he's done this...by now, that hand should have been dissolved, burnt, what-ever (ah, an excuse for the Muldertorture fan-fic-writers!)

(Great ep, btw. First recorded case of Muldertorture which launched a thousand fanfics!)

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

2. Speaking of Muldertorture, which I like as much as the next person, the saw was a wee bit much.

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

I have come to the conclusion that I am a Muldertorture fan.
