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.

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?
 
Current Mood: nostalgic

Another offering from A Rat's Life: Marita at the freighter dock in Patient X.



When it comes down to the choice between a man and your child, there's no question. Only hesitation.

Many thanks to sinkwriter, leucocrystal, and inlaterdays for their input and general willingness to help.

It's Christmas Eve of Season 6. Wondering what Mulder, Scully, Skinner, Krycek, Marita or the Gunmen might be up to? A series of semi-connected vignettes:

In working on my Krycek backstory, I felt the need to understand the dynamic between Krycek and Marita: how their partnership developed, what they were up to and how things ended up turning personal. So this is the result.

Story summary: "Picture two people meeting in a tropical country to pick up the first shipment of a vaccine that could save the world. Picture a hot, humid weekend spent in an apartment with a swimming pool and a broken air conditioner. Picture two jet-lagged people who are used to guarding their privacy slipping up and letting out a lot more than they'd intended. "
