| I recently came across this archive of old electronic "dustjacket" images for some of my short stories and novels. Kind of a nostalgic little blast from the past... |
Aphasia
was a short story about Scully, with almost no Mulder. As the story begins,
we find Scully being interviewed. Only over the course of the story do we
realize that this is no ordinary interview... |
As the
graphic indicates, "Taken" was a story originally intended for mature
audiences. That usually means...well, "smut." The concept of Taken was that
Scully was, perhaps, slightly sexually submissive. We saw her every week
being strong, in control, a hard-charging "Blue Flamer" FBI agent. What if,
in her sex life, she wanted to be a little more...sub? The story never got
off the ground (although four separate drafts exist somewhere on a laptop
hard drive,) but the graphic was kinda interesting, I thought. |
This
was one of the original graphics for the "Renegade" series by XFBandit. If I
were to re-do this graphic today, I'd probably change the tagline to "Once
you cross the line, there's no going back." Whatever. :) |

Two versions of ELS "Banners". The top one was used on the home page for a while to advertise the upcoming mega-novel ELS. The other one was a chapter banner for the first chapter. |
Anyone
remember Stalkers? It was my first longish fanfic piece, about
time-traveling, nearly immortal warriors from another planet. Sound
familiar? I wrote it during the 2nd season. |

Ah, Umbra. My first planned novel-length work. (Snapshot was a short story that got out of control...) This was the next-to-last banner done for it, after the novel was finished, and sat on the home page for a while so that new visitors would be drawn into the story. |
Umbra 2: Ellipsis was (obviously)
the sequel to Umbra. While never finished, I did have a lot of fun coming up
with the tagline "Just another day at the office." I kind of liked the
concept that Mulder and Scully saving the world had, for them, become just
another thing they did. It added to the heroic quality of the characters. |
