Quotable Quotes

Don't Stop Swaying: "I have to say, I love the way Deslea gives these characers humanity. And what I find most impressive, is that she does so with the added difficulty of getting around their lack of physical humanity. I mean, how the fuck do you write about someone who has lost a head?" -- CGB, Bright Shiny Objects, November 2003.

"One of the most engaging fanfic authors in the XF Fandom is Deslea Judd. An unabashedly "Alternative Phile", Deslea has numerous (and we mean NUMEROUS) awards for her writing. She is also quite prolific in her XF video making. We are very proud that she has granted us the honour and pleasure of answering a few of our questions." -- Circe, How Will It End, August 2003.

Restitution: "So we all knew that Deslea would have the last word on Krycek and Marita, right? However you saw these two ending up, this story will make you believe this is the way is should have been. An involving story with some wonderfully rounded characters who tell a different story. Philes can't go past this." -- CGB, Bright Shiny Objects, July 2003.

Hybrid Kisses: "'Consider the boysenberry' is probably the best opening line in recent memory. Deslea's penchant for turning the most aloof and obscure mytharc characters into accessible and fathomable creatures shows in every turn of phrase here. By the end of this vignette, you'll have a new pairing to obsess over and a craving for a Boysenberry Twist." -- Maidenjedi, Sam Houston Motor Lodge, 31 May 2003.

Eschaton: "Goodness, what a fabulous ride this is! I'm discovering the wonderful world of XF fic of all types and pairings, and I never thought I'd ever be reading a Knowle/Shannon story. Deslea gives them both such rich and deliciously angsty backstory that this storyline could well have been incorporated into the series - and it would fit with seamless perfection. To take such one-note characters and breathe life into them this way is the sign of a true writer. Knowle is almost child-like in his single-minded view of his purpose in the plan, while Shannon definitely knows there's got to be something more than killing. Their relationship (I hesitate to call it romance, though there's hope) is chronicled from its otherworldly inception, and I was absorbed into the story from the get-go. I can't say enough about how excellent this story is, from all standpoints. Give it a whirl - you won't be disappointed!" -- Mish, Museans, May 2003.

Down With The Marked: "Deslea is surely the queen of taking minor X-Files characters and turning them into legends. This story has a lyrical feel and the underwater setting gives it a dream-like quality. And it makes you think you might want to know a hell of a lot more about Knowle and Shannon." -- CGB, Bright Shiny Objects, March 2003.

Restitution: "I am ashamed to say, I'd never read a Krycek/Marita story before, and my preconceptions of them as peripheral characters were totally ingrained in my MSR lovin' heart. But this story brings them to life and gives them such depth. Great re- telling of the mytharc through their eyes, with sensitivity that doesn't generate an ounce of unbelievability - or of uncharacteristic sap. Harsh at times, but rather touching at others. And yes, I'm very happy with Deslea's version of how it ended for Krycek and Marita. Love it when an author can make me feel good about the show's bad turns, and explain it in a gratifying way. Even if you're not a fan of anything but MSR, give this one a read - it's excellent work!" -- Mish, Museans, February 2003.

Down With The Marked: "Deslea's powerful language gives some unique, interesting insights into a couple of rarely examined characters and into what it may be like to be a little less than human." -- The Other Side, February 12, 2003.

Concessions Made: "Leave it to Deslea to break all the rules and make it look easy! Jeffrey/ Samantha fic, and she's making a series out of it." -- Maidenjedi, Sam Houston Motor Lodge, July 2002.

Johnny: "[Johnny is] one of the first X-Files fics, other than Mulder/Scully pairing, that I've ever read. Has great characterization." -- Angellemyst, Nocturnality, April 2003.

A Woman's Code: "Holy Kiwi Fruit, Batman! Here's just an eye-opening look at the other women in Mulder's life. Outstanding." -- Dryad, The Grove, February 2002.

Four Minutes: "Fight the Future fic with a seldom seen character, terrific mood and tension." -- A Quiet Place To Read, June 2001.

Four Minutes: "Remember Darius Michaud, the movie FBI agent who was prepared to let a building full of people go to hell? Here's his viewpoint, rendered in startlingly effective prose." -- YMMV, July 2001.

Four Minutes: "Minor characters can be a lot of fun to play with. That's especially true when the character only has a scene or two and we learn just enough about him to be intriguing. Darius Michaud from Fight the Future is one of those characters. The first time I saw the movie, I remember asking myself, "What the hell is he doing?!?" Deslea gives us a few answers to my unspoken question -- not the big answers, but the little ones. Michaud comes vividly to life here, particularly at the end, in a way that makes me sorry he had to die." -- Lara Means, Lara's Favourites, October 2001.

The Wrong Man: "Deslea hits one out of the ballpark with this "bystander" fic told from Jeffrey Spender's POV, and concerning Krycek and Marita. What really makes this fic outstanding is the description of Marita from Spender's point of view...he sees her as "a Mona Lisa, a Madonna", except for the wringing of her hands. This is powerful stuff, Deslea at her best as she weaves the threads of a backstory for Marita and Alex that appalls and yet doesn't surprise Jeff Spender. I give this fic a 10 of 10 for the power behind the words and underlying the characterizations. Bravo!" -- Maidenjedi, House Of Fanfic, June 2001.

The Wrong Man: "Deslea's look into the supporting charecters of the X-Files is something that I rarely see and find very refreshing and intruging. "The Wrong Man" takes us inside the mind of Jeffery Spender, a rather shallow charecter to begin with, but also we see the motives behind the actions of Krycek and Marita during the events of "Two Fathers"/"One Son". This gives us a few of those desperatly needed answers, but brings them to light in ways we didn't expect. This fanfic is wonderful in it's imagery, and in the angst it creates for the charecters. The complete desolation and hopelessness that this fanfic embodies really captures how helpless the charecters are, but also how determined. This is a wonderful fanfic, for its orignality and concept. Beautifully written and wonderfully constructed story. Great Job!" -- Dantzi Jean, My XF Voice, May 2001.

Hands: "Wow, what a story. Gives a great voice to one of the fandom's least favorite characters, and gives us tantalizing glimpses of the history she shares with Krycek. And it all revolves around a perceptively metaphorical theme which Deslea balances with great care. I don't normally read this pairing, but this fic impressed the hell out of me." -- Jintian, Museans, March 2001.

Hands: "From the moment I saw them together in "Patient X," I wanted to know more about Alex Krycek's relationship with Marita Covarrubias. How long had they known each other? Were they really working together? Were her actions in that episode a betrayal of him, and did he care? On the show, we've only been given glimpses of them together, so it's been up to fic writers like Deslea to create their history. In this story, she shows us how the loss of his hand in "Terma" effected a gradual change in Alex, and she shows us this change through Marita's eyes. There's sorrow and loss in Marita's narrative, an almost lyrical sadness." -- Lara Means, Lara's Favourites, May 2001.

"Deslea Judd: Perhaps the most prominent of the Krycek/Marita shippers, she sees Krycek as the hero of the X- Files, the only one willing to take a practical stand and fight the oncoming storm. Read here and you'll believe she's right. Her recs site, The Green Iguana, is great as well." -- YMMV, Krycek Smorgasbord, May 2001.

Hands: "There have been many interpretations of the sexual tension between Alex "Ratboy" Krycek and Marita "Uniblonder" Covarrubias, but none so well translated into fanfic as Deslea Judd's Hands. In this vignette, told from a Marita- biased POV, we get to see how Krycek's loss of his arm was ultimately what cinched his bad-boy tendencies into the dissolution of his soul. At once poetic and heart-wrenching, Judd's style of storytelling takes good ol' fashioned smut and turns it into the emotional rollercoaster it would be for a man and woman so at odds. Her Marita characterization has her as a woman with a heart trapped inside a web from which there is no escape....and she knows it. Her only saving grace is this man she loves, and she'll even take him to his worst enemy in hopes of reviving the life in him. Judd makes you believe in Marita and in Krycek, wanting them to succeed in spite of their treachery. I give this story a 9 of 10 for its depth, imagery, and imagination. I will strongly recommend it to anyone in need of a good story!" -- Maidenjedi, House Of Fanfic, June 2001.

Dream A Crystal Moon: "Wonderful description and atmosphere." -- A Quiet Place To Read, July 2001.

On The Outside: "Colony/End Game, told from the Samantha clone's point of view. Unique and riveting. This novel also forwards a believable Conspiracy explanation." -- Gabrielle, GAEB Fanfic Picks, 1996.
