A newcomer to faith, John urgently searches for a modern response to the age-old question: At what cost salvation?He
After three hours of waiting through two other panels, the XFilesUniverse.com’s own “Nellufy” finally got to reach her goal: David Duchovny. During the other panels, by watching others and learning, Nellufy developed her strategy for securing the mic.
The strategy worked, because Nellufy was privileged to ask David Duchovny a question during the panel “Our Heroes Have More Fun.” David Duchovny was there to represent Californication, but answered questions about Twin Peaks, Californation, and Nellufy’s question “”After being recognized as Fox Mulder for over a decade, how was it like transitioning into a different character, Hank Moody?” Nellufy reports people cheered when she said the words Fox Mulder

Summary:
The Judging of the 2010 Ultimate Fanfic Contest
The Contest Categories and their Judging
1. Relationships: Any Characters from the Series
And we do mean any character combinations; the judges will be looking into the possibility even probability of the said relationship. How true you have remained to the characters in question, and the situation you have placed them in. As well as their response to this.
2. Case file
Would this have made a good episode? will be the first question on the judges’ mind, closely followed by would it even be remotely possible within the realms of science?
3. Alternative universe
Give Mulder and Scully kids, marry them, split them up, give William twelve toes and paranormal powers. Here you can do what you like. The judges are looking for a good story, something along the lines of what Chris would come up with to taunt us / please us (Triangle is a good example). If the way out is not your thing, give a character in the series a new/extended personality.
This category if sufficient entries are received will be split.
4. Second Language Fic
This Category is open to everyone who does not have English as a maiden language, here the judges will look for storyline, Spelling and Grammar will to some extend be overlooked, but not completely dismissed, how well the story reads will be taken into consideration.
Overall Prizes and their Judging
1. The Ultimate Fanfic (Open only to First and Second place Category Winners)
The judges will be looking as the best-written and thought through fic from the finalists
2. Best Written Fanfic (Need not be Category Winner)
Judges will be looking at writing style, does the fic read well, and how the story flows from one point to another
3. The Ultimate Character Representation (Need not be Category Winner)
Judges will be looking for the best representation of a character in the series within a story.
4. Most likely to be a Chris Carter fic (Need not be a Category Winner)
The judges must think, “Chris wrote this”, so the judged will be thinking along the lines of: is this an unscreened episode?
5. The Most Original Fic (Need not be a Category Winner)
Judges will choose this fic for it’s original content, a new or unknown storyline, and it’s presentation.
David Duchovny is scheduled to appear as a panelist in the “Our Heroes Have More Fun: the Anti-Heroes of Showtime” session today at 4:45. XFU thinks it would be nice if Chris Carter dropped by to fuel even more rumors of an X-Files 3 movie.
10. Meet my friends in the chatroom on Thursday nights for the ReWatch Project. Where else can we discuss the fashion impaired, visually oblivious wardrobe manager for Scully?
9. Cut out all the press releases for Gillian Anderson’s “Johnny English” movie for your scrapbook.
8. Download your free copy of “Pilot” from ITunes so you can watch it at work.
7. Finish memorizing the words to “Bad Blood.” You never know when a quote is needed.
6. Go to NYC to watch David Duchovny on Broadway.
5. Finish the fanfic for the XFU Annual Fanfic contest!
4. Spend time Duchovny-Carter-Spotting. Not stalking, spotting. There’s a difference. Recent photos have them together the beach and at a ball game, but there must be more!
3. Report local UFO activity to a MUFON group. They believe.
2. Practice running in high heels. If Scully can do it, so can you.
1. Start posting in the forums at xfilesuniverse.com!

Get your XFiles fix! Wildstorm and IDW is releasing a comic mini-series featuring X-Files and 30 Days of Night. The series begins this month. 30 Days of Night creator Steve Niles is co-writing the comic with Adam Jones, the guitarist for Tool. Tom Mandrake is in charge of the art.
The official synopsis sounds interesting. “When evidence of a possible cannibal killer in Wainright, Alaska draws the attention of the FBI, Agents Mulder and Scully draw the less-than-glamorous assignment. But all is not as it seems once the agents are on the ground. Not only has the long seasonal darkness begun to fall, but there’s something unnatural about a few of the locals. And what does a chilling, mysterious black ship have to do with the murders?” Io9 has the first few pages posted if you want to take a look: http://io9.com/5583007/first-pages-from-mulder-and-scullys-crossover-with-30-days-of-nights-vampires
