Downpour in the Desert cover

Plot? You've got high hopes.

Skinner insists that Scully & Mulder attend the multi-agency costume ball. It’s for charity and even the President will be there!

Skinner sighed out loudly. “She looks like an angle.”  Mulder thought that was an odd thing for his boss to say, but he couldn’t respond... 

It's badfic/parody, which may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this one is well written and had me in stitches. It also had me wanting to correct a lot of spelling but the word misuse and spelling abuse is intentional, along with  the outlandish innuendo. I may have laughed more than I normally would as I read this immediately after finishing a rewatch binge of "Kath & Kim", characters renowned for their misuse & mispronunciation of words.

I don't know which author is using the Anubis pseudonym in this one, but the humour and writing does seem familiar. Desert-themed fic seemed like a good place to start after returning from another beautiful desert drive. I'm really hoping that if I don't mess this upload up I can begin to get back into the swing of things.  I can't make promises as to posting regularity yet, but I'd like to ease my way back. Hopefully I won't fall victim to any 'unforeseen circumcisions' as I also have some  news from a beloved author which I'm trying to organise and bring you.

Betoota Pub, in the outback Australian ghost town of Betoota.
A snapshot from my desert drive. Betoota was a ghost town until the pub reopened. It's also where the Australian online parody newspaper, the Betoota Advocate, is claimed to be published. With deserts & parodies being the theme for today's upload I couldn't resist. Sorry if the quality of this image is a bit crap, I reduced the size from ridiculous to compressed mush to save load time.



THE PLUGIN UPDATE HAS BEEN ROLLED BACK YET AGAIN. Today's update attempt was worse. I'll have to get back to the developer. Thanks again for your patience.
