Q. So what's this story about, anyway? A. It's a noir-ish tale where good people may do bad things, bad people may do good things, and sometimes it might not be possible to tell the difference. The lucky ones live to tell about it. Q. Yeah, but do Mulder and Scully get to have sex and stuff? A. Yes. Q. Wait, that was too easy. This sex, do they have it with each other? A. Totally possible. Q. When they're not having sex, what are they doing? A. They're caught up in a murder that cuts very close to home. The investigation reveals truths about each other that they may never have wanted to know. Q. So are you making money on this story? A. Sadly, not a sou. Mulder, Scully, and other recognizable XF characters belong to FOX and 1013 Productions. They are used here without remuneration. And as for the baseball players whose names are borrowed off and on, they don't get a cent, either. Q. So how long is this fic going to be, anyway? A. Your guess is as good as mine. Q. Are you done yet? A. No. Q. How about now? A. No. Q. Now? What if I ask 50 more times? A. Then you might show up as a murder victim. Q. What if I have a question/comment/tomato-I-want-to-throw- at-you? A. I can be reached at syn_tax6@yahoo.com. Q. Help, I can't see the updates! Why does the internet hate me? A. Probably because you are using AOL. AOL often loads a previously cached copy of the website, so you will not be able to see the new one until you clear the cache. Alternatively, you can always see the new chapter by changing the number in the URL to reflect the chapter you want. They will be numbered sequentially: http://www.omniscribe.com/baitandswitch01.txt = chapter one http://www.omniscribe.com/baitandswitch02.txt = chapter two And so forth.
