The X-Files Stories by Mary Ruth Keller
Bio
Mary Ruth Keller is a geophysicist who has been involved in microwave remote sensing of the Earth since receiving her Master's in Geophysics from Virginia Tech in 1983. She enjoyed the exploration of the perception of reality in the First Season of The X-Files, as well as the interaction between the rational/logical and emotional/intuitive viewpoints of Scully and Mulder, respectively. She also appreciated the development of a season-long myth-arc in the Second, running from The Erlenmeyer Flask at the end of the First Season through Paperclip in the Third.
She began writing fan-fiction in the middle of the Third Season when the show began to drift away from these themes and arcs. Her stories, generally case files which are a combination of myth-arc and MOTW, all grow in one sequence.
Themes and ideas are explored over several stories, with character growth that builds upon itself, rather than having all problems solved in one tidy bundle. She also writes a strong partnership between Mulder and Scully. She sees the constructive interaction of their different, but equally valid, viewpoints as a metaphor for effective and critical thinking.
