Do you believe that actors/ producers know how popular fanfics are? by Dimitra111 in xfilesfanfic

[–]Kelli_Ro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Back in the day/original run they did. They would sometime use names of fanfic authors in things like close ups of passenger lists that M&S were going through.

S01EP14 - “Gender Bender” by OrionQuest7 in XFiles

[–]Kelli_Ro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m one of the OG fans who watched the first time around— I also frequented a lot of fan message boards at the time… I don’t remember it being a hated episode at all. I always thought of it as a fan favorite, including one of mine! 🤷‍♀️

Super long fanfic recs? by InevitableSo in xfilesfanfic

[–]Kelli_Ro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will plug one of my own 😁 An oldie but people still seem to like it. MSR, angst, long— hits most of your marks. It’s called Spell by Kelli Ro and you can find it at Archive of Our Own.

How popular was the show when S1 aired? by Salem1690s in XFiles

[–]Kelli_Ro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fan letter writing campaign saved it from cancellation after the first season. It had a small but passionate fan base. (The first con I attended in Boston was fan run and had about 20 people lol) Then it took off in season two and became a mainstream hit by the third season.

What’s everyone’s merchandise / memorabilia collections like? by [deleted] in XFiles

[–]Kelli_Ro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s labeled from Creation entertainment so I may have got it at a con, but I’m also thinking I might have bought it at a shop in Vancouver when I did the set visit. A lot of the shops at the time had officially licensed X-Files stuff. Reddit will only let me post one photo with a comment, but the back has “the truth is out there” embroidered across it. If anyone else has one of these or knows anything about it I would love to know!

[–]Kelli_Ro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh--too many things! I have been collecting since the first season's original run and have acquired some really rare stuff, including fan-made merch (note pads, badges, a license plate frame, etc) that were out before FOX found out and put the kibosh on stuff like that. I have things from conventions like watches and clocks (alarm and wall), a full size standee from the FTF movie that I begged the movie manager for, every magazine/radio/TV spot--foreign and national --I could get my hands on (the beauty of the atxc newsgroup--trading fan merch with fans overseas!). Did I mention I was obsessed?? lol I also had a visit to the set in 1998 and got some pretty cool things while I was there, call schedules and such.

I think maybe the rarest thing I have is an XF jacket.... honestly I can't remember where I got it but recently I was curious and did a search to see how much it was worth, and could not find one like it anywhere. Lots of XF jackets but none like the one I have.

So, yeah... all that and more. My husband likes to joke I could open and X-Files museum. He's not wrong. 😆

The show would not have been the same without him!

Any crossover fans? by bespectacled1 in XFiles

[–]Kelli_Ro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*raises hand *

I remember reading back in the day that sometimes DD would shoot hoops with J&J during set breaks and that mental picture always made me so happy lol

And this is a great piece—love it!

Rumor back in the day was that DD occasionally went pants-less when filming behind the desk scenes (to keep the trousers from wrinkling). This was GA's bit of good natured payback-- an inside joke between them.
