So why am I writing threesomes? Well, there's a backstory. I'm trying to keep the "Gift of Silk" series both in character and consistent with BDSM safety, etc. Since I lack experience with BDSM, I've been doing some web research and have found a number of sites that give an amazing amount of information about an enormous range of BDSM practices. When I sit down to brainstorm ideas for the "Gift of Silk" stories, I find a lot of things burbling out of my imagination which come from that research but seem too wild or out-of-character for the GOS series. Rather than waste good smut, I decided to dump them into this threesome series. There are only token efforts at characterization. (Oddly, I can imagine Mulder and Scully getting into bed with Krycek, but I couldn't give him his arm back. Poor guy.) The BDSM is pretty hardcore (well, I think it's hardcore; there's harder stuff out on the web) and not necessarily accurate. In short, this is smut with no redeeming value. I'm just trying to get the wilder ideas out of my head so I can work on my other fic. There are going to be some small overlaps between this series and the GOS series--a single line that I really like, for example, or eventually I may use the two series to take the same idea in different directions. Assuming, of course, that there's sufficient interest to continue both series. ;-) Anyway, if you see me plagiarizing myself from one story to another, that's what's going on. Final note: Scully is addressed as "Dana" in this series not because I have totally abandoned characterization, but because she'd want to separate this aspect of her personality from who she normally is as "Scully."
