LJ down, X-Files fic.
Is LJ down? ARGH. I need to check my FL urgently to procrastinate before I go to bed, and it won't let me! And status.livejournal.org isn't working either!

EDIT: Per status.livejournal.org, which FINALLY works: LiveJournal is down. There has been a power outage at our data center. We are working as quickly as possible to restore service.

10:48 pm GMT (Tuesday, July 24) ...sigh, to bed.

Also, anyone know what happened to fanfix.com? Back when I was a wee one in my first fandoms, I read an X-Files/SW crossover fic that I absolutely adored, and I saw the X-Files today, and OMG! The love resurged, and I wanted to read it again. The X-Files/SW crossover fic was Scully/Luke, and the first part dragged Scully and Mulder into the Millennium Falcon, and then in the second part they came to Earth, and Luke and Scully had crabs (the edible kind) in Maryland. And then there was tragic Jedi mindwiping. Just in case, you know, it's elsewhere...I wanted to read it again to see if it was still good.

Man, I feel old...I think I was in the eighth grade when I read those! That was pre-movie! EDIT AGAIN even though I should be in bed: [info]jaina provides: the aptly named X-Jedi and X-Jedi 2. Gracias!

LJ is indeed down. It made me finally start playing around with GJ.

I remember that fic! I didn't read the first one but I definitely read the sequel where they went to Earth. I have no clue if it's around else where though since I got out of the SW fandom during the prequels.

THANK YOU! I'm not making up that! I left SW fandom before that, like...hm. 1997? And it was AWESOME and AMAZING.

Sigh...now I have to go look at icanhascheezburger archives...

In other news,
Luke and Scully had crabs (the edible kind)

I'm REALLY glad you clarified that.

Dude, I said it aloud when I remembered it, and then I went on a mental side jaunt to STD prevention in the galaxy far far away, and what sort of WORSE STDs they might have, and it was not a good jaunt.

FEH I HATE DOWN LJ.

See the last post on [info]random_lounge - there's a power outage in downtown SF that took down a data center; several sites are out.

This is entirely inconvenient. Clearly the world should revolve around us.

Yeah, San Francisco has a power outage. A big one. All of 6A was down earlier, among other large non-related sites. :(

X-JEDI!!!! And X-Jedi 2! OMG, so much love. (I, er. May possibly have printed out copies Back In The Day.) I've got saved copies on my computer at home, but lemme google a little...

You're welcome! Happy to share the love, X-Jedi 2 is one of my favorite old-school fics EVER. (As soon as you mentioned the crabs I was like OMG!!! Because I remembered that.)

Fanfix has been dead for years. I think the maintainer just got bored and wandered away, and no one backed up the archive because no one had any idea what was going on.

Just posting with another XF icon to ask if you've ever heard about the 44-chapter fic that was an X-Files/The Stand crossover. That was a really good one, and I think the author even included a baked fish recipe.

And a scene where Scully is idly riding along in a truck and wondering why the theme song to The Banana Splits is stuck in her head.

No...actually I don't even know The Stand. Is it something I should watch? What is it?

The Stand is a Stephen King novel that opens with a genetically-altered strain of the flu escaping from U.S. military labs. They'd been working on it as a germ warfare weapon; it had a 99% mortality rate. It escapes from a government research center at the very start of the book, and the first half of the book is basically about 99% of the population dying off and how the country copes with that; the second half is about the 1% leftover, and it shifts to a more supernatural kind of thing (half of the survivors start having dreams about a kindly 103 year old woman named Abigail Freemantle telling them all to move to Boulder, Colorado, and the other half start having dreams about a mean dude named Randall telling them to move to Las Vegas; there are strong apocalyptic Good-vs-evil paralells breaking out here).

There was a TV movie based on it, but I wasn't too thrilled with it; I found the book better.

I have an entirely random question for you. Where did you get your "cuidado" llamas icon, and did whoever made it also make a "llamas are larger than frogs" icon? I must know.

That's about my favorite python sketch ever, because it's so very WTF?, and it sometimes seems as if no one else has ever seen it.

Sorry dude, I made it myself one afternoon. It wasn't part of a set or anything. If you want to use it, go ahead!
