You don't know how lucky you are nowadays, back when you had to walk up hill both ways in the snow, before cellphones and text messages before google and search engines - I was passing notes with friends the EXACT web addresses (if it wasn't exact down to the last ~ or / you were SOL) to read X-Files FanFic. FUNFACT: The term "shipping" started in the 90's with Mulder and Scully "relationshipper" fans.
I'm going to see if I can find any good ones.
Let me know if you find any good X-File fanfic! I'd love to read some!
Tracey, thank you for sharing that fun fact! I never could get a clear answer "why" people call it "shipping" :D ("you want them ordered together? what, no?")
Makes sense now.
How am I'm going to choose?! I do have a Beauty and the Beast retelling I could read for this, but I'm kind of in the mood for some HP fic....like always haha.

Several best sellers originally started as Fan Fiction:
